[CGMZ][Alpha] 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.

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:

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.

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] 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.

• Custom options for switches and variables
• 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
• Plugin commands to change options

Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.
