RPG Maker MV / MZ for Linux [ cicpoffs mount]

The project contains a collection of shell scripts that will help you run games on the RPG Maker MV/MZ engine on linux. I was inspired by m5kro's project and his linux/mac os builds. Priority is primarily on RPG Maker MV/MZ. (if you have errors with XP, VX, Vx Ace address this link).

The software uses the following dependencies for RPG Maker MV/MZ:

• nwjs - As the main engine of the game
• cicpoffs - For mounting the game folder in windows Case-Insensitive mode (that allows nwjs better find the game files)
• evbunpack - For unpacking game files stored in Game.exe (if they are packaged)
• tools such as wget, ln, readlink, grep - For downloading the latest version of nwjs and viewing the files.

Dependencies for tyranobuilder

• nwjs - As the main engine of the game
• electron 9.4.4 to run v5 version games of this engine (Optionally)
• python script tyranoextract with these dependencies (asarlib,pefile)

Dependencies for RPG Maker XP / VX / VX Ace

• mkxp-z - Open-source cross-platform player for (some) RPG Maker XP / VX / VX Ace games. A very heavily modified fork of mkxp. RGSS on steroids with a stupid name. (May have limited support for games, due to win32api in plugins) (Optionally)

Contains the following features:

• Sharp increase in fps (from 2 to 4 times more compared to Wine, can be viewed by pressing the F2 key)
• Updating Pixi 5 libraries for RPG Maker MV games (that's supposed to increase performance)
• Downloading and selecting any version of NWJS (using the command line).
• Easily installable SDK version of NWJS with one click in the gui, or via cli.
• Starting a game with the Japanese locale option.
• Launching a game using a command line.
• Showing the NWJS, Nodejs, Chromium versions of your downloaded game.
• Installing the Text hooker plug-in that copies the game's dialogs automatically to your clipboard.
• Can be used as compatibility tool in steam for Windows games.
• The Native support of 4 architectures: x86-64, i386, armhf, arm64
