Hi everyone, I'm extremely new to RPGMaker MV (as in, just got it last night-new). I really want to use some dlc content for my game, but I can't make it actually show up in the program. For content generator I found the faces folders and moved images to them, but when I actually try the program nothing shows up. I am using a mac and got MV on steam, but when I try searching C: Users CPUName Documents Games or plainC: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common RPG Maker MV dlc nothing is there. I've done mods for Sims games in the past so I don't know if I need to create new folders somewhere or something, very confused. Click to expand.These are Windows directories, not Mac. You'll find the dlc folder for RPG Maker MV here on macOS: /Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RPG Maker MV/dlc If you want an easy way to get to this folder without doing search, click on the Finder icon (blue face on the far left of the dock) then on the toolbar at the top click on Go - Go to Folder.

And paste that path into the 'Go to the folder:' text box there and click Go. An easy keyboard shortcut to open the Go to Folder. Option is Command-Shift-G (⌘⇧G) in Finder, use this if you can't see the Go option in the toolbar after clicking the blue Finder icon in the dock. These are Windows directories, not Mac.

Do you want to add 'DLC content' for an RPG Maker MV game project that you are creating with RPG Maker MV? Or do you want to add additional resources into the RPG Maker MV creation-program similar to how the official Steam DLCs add resources? For the first option, you'll need a Plugin and a web-server and other complicated things. It's not a simple 'throw content into a folder', that folder needs to be hosted, your game needs to check that host, it needs to download, verify, etc. That's why a complicated Plugin is usually required. For the second option, you generally don't want to add resources to the DLC folder, that's intended for the Steam official content that is shared between projects. What you want to do is go into the data folder for your project (where you have saved your work-in-progress game) and look for the audio/img folders; in here is where you put your additional resources.

Look at the formats and see how the images are laid-out and the files are named; you need to match this convention for the additional resources to appear in the RPG Maker MV program when you are making your game.

Apologies that I'm a bit inept with this, very very new like I said. One sec I'll see if I can clarify. Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate things like and into my game. Right now I'm looking mainly at character generator items and mainly at things that people have put on this site for people to use free, but I might want to look into additional enemies, scenery stuff, etc. At some point. When I downloaded the content, it showed up in a folder with image previews of pieces labeled with Acc and so on which makes me think there's some kind of description in the file name for where it would go and how it would work in the game, but not sure.

I picked up there are a ton of folders around and all named differently of course and I looked at what content was in various folders to see if I should try and put the images in with similar objects but didn't get results there. XD If this involves plugins I'd be willing to try and learn a bit, I just have no experience with that haha. Like I said, my experience going in with game mods is starting from sims where basically you need a document I think that opens the game up for dlc and then you just need to drag things into one specific folder. My sense is this is more complicated, which is a-okay, I just don't know where to start. I'm basically like a dumb baby on this right now. These content types that you linked are for the character generator program, which go in the RPG Maker MV Generator folder in Windows to add these custom pieces into the character generator program. Unfortunately, on macOS it's more difficult to get to this folder as it is inside the app package of RPG Maker MV itself.

You need to go to this location like before: /Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RPG Maker MV Then right-click (or hold ctrl and click) on the RPG Maker MV app, it has the icon of the castle with the red roof. Click on ' Show Package Contents' and that will take you into the contents of RPG Maker MV. From here, open the folders: Contents/MacOS/Generator That's where you'd put the pieces for the character generator files. You should be able to recognise the Face/SV/TV/TVD/Variation folders and figure out where the files you downloaded go. Once you've done this, open up RPG Maker MV and go to Tools - Character Generator to start using these pieces.

For adding resources into your specific game (no character generator used) you need to make a game project and save that somewhere; then open up that project's Folder on your disk. You'll see these folders: img/ is for image graphics audio/ is for sounds and music fonts/ is for text graphics js/ is for code scripts You will likely be focusing on the img folder at first (for custom graphics), so open that up and have an explore. The folders in here is where you'd put your custom images like Tilesets or Title screen backgrounds.

For future reference; none of this is DLC. The term 'DLC' is reserved for official downloadable content, not content you downloaded anywhere from the internet. Everything you find on this website is not 'DLC' as it is by fans in the community, rather than the RPG Maker MV publishers. There is official RPG Maker MV DLC available for purchase in Steam that costs money to buy, that DLC should actually automatically configure itself and won't require navigating folders (if this isn't the case, then jeez that's pretty stupid.).

For the record, in case anyone else swings by this thread and has trouble, there was one last hitch I ran into and had to address to make things work right: if any files are labeled the same way and you get a 'do you want to rename/replace/keep both' message, keeping both will not let you use the content. You need to look at how the existing accessories are numbered and basically edit and add the next number up so it stands alone, and make sure all the file numbers for that object match. So if one thing is an icon and the other is an accessory and you've adjusted one to be the ninth object in that group, you need to make sure the other is also number nine for example.

Also just to say explicitly icons and accessories do not go to the same place, gotta make sure all the formats match.

Quote 'Why do you call it a rippoff?.' If you tell someone that they are buying a mac version of a program and then don't deliver, then yes its a ripoff cause you are not supplying what you advertised.

At that point, no-one had advised me that I could use my serial number purchased from here, to download the software on steam (a completely different site) so at that point yes, I felt ripped off, and justly so! Its all very well being sarcastic and putting people down by telling them that ' no one requires you to purchase it again for that', as if it should be blindingly obvious to us, but where was that information? ​When I bought the software, not once in the purchasing process, or after, was I informed that I would have to install steam then figure out how to transfer my serial key to the Steam site before I could even download my purchase. Show me one place in the entire process that says you can use your existing key without having to repurchase the software. S how me even one mention of the fact that the Mac version is not ready yet, and that you will have to use the Steam version instead. Show me even the slightest glimmer of information for new purchasers that even hints at how to get RPG Maker installed on the Mac if you buy it from this site.

If you are going to make people install steam in order to get their software, at least be upfront and honest about it, and give detailed precise instructions on how to go about it. Until you do, then don't try to put intelligent people down for not being psychic and knowing what to do when you have not provided that information in the first place! Good dvd burning software for mac. The only link I have seen provided so far was in reply to another post that I started myself before posting in here, and that was a link to a Steam page that was so vague and unspecific as to be confusing and useless.

But then we should not have to resort to posting on forums to get vital information that should have been provided in the first place when we bought the software! @ Bloody Red Riding Hood, Really?

For your information, I didn't preorder, I only just bought the software today - from the link to the purchase page, go there for yourself and see if you can find anything on the order page that says anything whatsoever about steam, let alone about being able to transfer your key to steam! I'm not some regular forum user who has had access to all the information leading up to this software being released. In fact I was not even a forum member till today.

Believe it or not your forum users are not the only people buying this software! Even the confirmation email, with the links to download the software do not mention that none of the links are for the Mac version, or that I needed to go to steam. So I wasted time and bandwidth downloading several files of which none were of any use to me with my Mac. Just a quick look or search would have given you the answer.' Again why the hell should someone have to become a member and then search the forums for vital information that should have been provided straight away at the point of purchase. In fact why did I even have to sign up to the forum in the first place, when I should have been able to just buy the software and start using it? This isn't some random technical issue about some minor detail of the program, this is people being unable to download their purchases because the relevant information wasn't provided to begin with.

The link to the steam page may be clear and simple to someone who has has an account and has regularly used steam, not so much if you don't even have an account yet and haven't even downloaded the software. It is plain lazy to just say to someone to go there and figure it out for yourself! The RPG maker software is excellent, but this arrogant customer blaming is incredibly poor customer service indeed! I was so pissed off by all of this that I was close to asking for my money back, and am still wondering if I should do so anyway! And the more you try to make me look like I'm at fault for the complete lack of information provided when I purchased the software, the more I wonder if I even want to become part of this community. Edit: just to clarify, this is the experience I have had so far: I came to the RPG Maker site after seeing an article about the new version of RPG Maker.

Having played around with RPG Maker XP many years ago I fancied getting it again. I clicked on the demo link for OSX only to be told the file was not available, annoying but not the end of the world. So I thought what the hell I'll just buy it without trying it out before, if it is as good as RPGXP was then why not. After double checking that it really does say it will run on Mac OS X, I click on the 'Buy now for only $79.99' button and go through the process of paying for the software. At no time whatsoever during the purchasing process was there any information to tell me that the Mac version wasn't actually available, nor was there any mention of steam.

I eagerly download my purchase to find out that there are no DMG files, only exe and bin (which is an archiving system for PC installers) I check the email and there is absolutely no information there about the Mac downloads, or how to get them. I go back and double check have done everything right, and re-download everything (using up more bandwidth) just in case there was a mistake in downloading, still no Mac file. At this point I get frustrated and decide to join the official forums, so I can ask what the hell is going on with my download. I got a very nice and apologetic response from one of the web staff, which though lacking in specific details of how to fix the problem, at least had the decency to admit that it wasn't a very good situation. I then spend half an hour trawling the forums trying to find out how to get a steam version, getting only a link to a page on the steam site. I then have to install stream, create an account and try to figure out what the hell steam actually does (never had any dealings with it before).

After a couple of false starts, and lots of head scratching I finally figure out how to activate my serial number on steam without repurchasing it, and finally download my product (several hours after I actually purchased it). I then get condescending messages from various moderators etc, claiming that I should have known all of this anyway as it was all explained in the preorder pages (which I have never seen) or because I should have apparently joined the official forum and spent hours trawling through the site before even purchasing the software. Its the assumption that I'm in the wrong for not knowing that there was no standalone Mac version and that I should have known about the steam version etc etc that has riled me up. I come on here for help and get talked down to like an idiot for not knowing things that I had no access to.

I've noticed some other people getting the same treatment but unlike me they didn't complain. Good for them, but I personally won't be talked down to for standing up for myself! Instead of being condescending maybe you should look into what kind of experience a non forum buyer is actually getting, because from where I'm sitting its a very poor experience!
