Wait for the complete install with this command.

You should also have TypeScript installed:

How to run

First, complete the Content folder thanks to any recent project you want to test here (copy every file in resources/app/Content folder of any project you created with RPG Paper Maker, except the Content/Datas/Scripts folder).

You can also use this quick command:

./copy-project.sh

/!\ (you need to set the path variable in this file to indicate the project path to copy)

When it's done, just run:

./run.sh

How to contribute

You can help by contributing on the game engine. First, be sure to be familiar with git, how to fork a project and how to submit a pull request.

That means that you should:

• Click on the fork button.
• Clone your fork.
• Add a remote to the original project in order to always have access to the develop branch:

git remote add rpm https://github.com/RPG-Paper-Maker/Game-Scripts.git

Before starting any correction, you should first pull REBASE (it's very important to not create awful merge commits and then use --rebase option when pulling) the develop branch progress in order to be sure that you have the most recent version of development:

git pull --rebase rpm develop

After that, you can create a branch for your correction (or stay on your develop branch):

git checkout -b <choose_a_branch_name>

Don't forget to pull rebase before submitting your PR!

 import {Management, Game} from "rpm";
 import PluginManager = Management.PluginManager; 
 // global in module are private to the file so it's fine to do this.
 const parameters = PluginManager.fetch("MyAwesomePlugin");
 
 export class MyCustomClass extends Game.Base {
   // ETC
   constructor(){ 
     super();
   }
 }
