[CGMZ] Options for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, introducing [CGMZ] Options!

This plugin allows you to modify the options scene. You can create options categories, choose which options appear in each category, and add new options for the player.

New Options

By default RPG Maker only provides a few options. This plugin expands that to include some new ones that are easily set up by typing in a custom symbol. These include full screen, stretch mode, and master volume so far with more planned in future updates.

Of course, you can also create your very own options. Custom options have all the same features as normal number or toggle options, and they can be read by events using plugin command. You can also set them via plugin command. This allows you to make an option and then event any behavior it controls, leading to nearly unlimited potential to create your own custom options.

Categories

Add categories of options such as Video, Audio, Gameplay, etc. A more modern looking options scene that gamers will be familiar with. Within each category, you can have non-selectable spaces and headers in the options, getting away from the RPG Maker default feel where everything is selectable even if it has no function connected to it. See gif of how it can look:

When you only have one category set up, the category window will not be shown and the option window will take up the full screen size.

Default Options

You can keep or remove any of the default options by typing in a specific symbol when setting your options up, each symbol is in the documentation. This controls how the option behaves, but you can still modify the default options text and other appearance settings within the plugin.

Custom Options

This plugin allows you to add as many options as you want, which can include options meant for use in third party plugins as long as you know which symbol they are expecting to be added.

Options can be easily set up to either be toggle or number type, with no coding necessary. These have many customization options available. For true unlimited potential, you can also use a JS option type which allows you to run your own custom JS when the player selects the option or inputs right/left. You can also run JS for the string shown to the player regarding the option's value, and you can run JS for the default value of the option.

Integrations

This plugin has some integrations with other [CGMZ] plugins. More integrations are planned in future updates as well.

[CGMZ] Scene Backgrounds - Add a custom background image, including an image that can scroll or show weather.

[CGMZ] Window Backgrounds - Add a custom background image for your options windows. This can include a scrolling image that activates only when the window is active.

[CGMZ] Window Settings - Control the window style, tone, padding, opacity, windowskin, and more for each window in the plugin with no code required.

[CGMZ] Controls Window - Add a window that shows the player gamepad or keyboard controls, depending on their last input.

Roadmap

Below is a list of things planned to be added via future updates, in no particular order.

• Integrations with other [CGMZ] plugins
• Options that can lead to new scenes (ex: difficulty select scene)
• More easy to use default options
• Additional option types
