With this plugin, you can have more control over autosaving. This includes turning on/off map and battle autosave functionality individually, whereas the built in autosave either is ON or OFF in every situation. It also comes with a new plugin command to force an autosave, that can optionally ig...

Hi all, this month's plugin is ready to enter Alpha!
As voted on in the last poll, CGMZ Encounter Conditions is a new plugin which allows you to add additional criteria for random encounters on the map. This can include things such as switches being on, variables meeting certain number amounts, the party having specific items in their inventory, or a specific party member being in the party.

Hi all,
This is a "self variables" plugin. It allows you to use any amount of self variables for events on the map by using a name, event ID, and map ID to make unique variables per event. You can access these self variables and set them via plugin command.
You can also "take over" a Game Variable used in standard event commands and make it point to any self variable via a Plugin Command...

Hi all, as voted on in the poll for this month's small plugin: CGMZ Battle Command Window!
This plugin is similar to my menu and title command window plugins in that it lets you create your own custom commands for the battle windows, only the battle windows are a little more complex since they switch between the party (escape, fight) and each actor (attack, special, guard, etc). This plugin le...

Hi all, this poll is for the next large plugin I work on for the CGMZ Engine. As these will require quite a lot of work, there is no estimate for how long I expect it to take.

Hi all,
The Day Night System adds a configurable time system to your game (not visible to the player). You can recreate seconds/minutes/hours/days, or you can create your own time system where maybe there are only seconds and minutes! Or hours are only 20 minutes! It should be completely configurable.
In addition to the hidden tim...

Hi all,
This is the plugin that won July's Small Plugin poll: Battle Weather.
It is quite a simple plugin that adds back in the functionality for weather during battle. For some reason, RPG Maker disabled weather in battle along with the set weather effect plugin command. This plugin undoes that and adds weather back in and enables the set weather effect event command to work during batt...

Today we have a new Alpha plugin: Battle Result Events! This plugin was voted on in the last poll for June's small plugin. It is a simple plugin that allows you to run a common event after random encounters. It also sets two variables: one for the troop ID that was fought, and one for the battle result (win/loss/escape). The use for this is to allow you to event for win/loss/escape on ...
