As a bit of a heads up: An under-the-hood change makes the manifest and file catalog (used by the bootstrap for certain functions) incompatible with older versions. Make sure to change the version number for the engine package (if you disabled the option to delete the cache when the game closes) so it has the correct version. Changelog: Security improvements. Overhauled the patching mechanism so it can handle HTML files better. Updated dependencies, improving performance and stability. Download it here.

With the release of the .NET 10 GA, I'm releasing a small patch that updates the tool to use that version. This also includes changes from R6.02u7, which fixes some issues with loading and creating the default settings. Changelog: Updated to the GA version of .NET 10, bringing reliability improvements. Updated dependencies, bringing improved performance and reliability. Fixed an issue, where the defaults weren't created or loaded properly.

Ever wanted to show the player how are their characters doing, without having a close look at the UI? With this plugin, you can! This plugin provides an easy way to communicate the current status o…

Download progress for downloading the nwjs binaries will now show up. Merged the conversion and encryption steps into one. This improves build speeds slightly. Removed the "Patch source files" option. This was meant for those that have already patched the core scripts. Due to causing confusion and not being used much, it was removed. Enabled HTTP/3 support on the Cook Tool.

RPG Maker MZ support. Added support for the feedback widget. Re-licensed under Apache 2.0. Added an API to retrieve the game's version (FirehawkADK.SentryIntegration.GetGameVersion()) and the release environment (FirehawkADK.SentryIntegration.GetGameVersion()) from this plugin. Added context for engine generation and version. Minimum SDK version is 10.20.0. Download it here.

Updated to .NET 10 Release Candidate 2 (alongside the dependencies), improving performance and reliability. Added support for Windows tablets and 2-in-1s. This is mostly relevant for RPG Maker MZ, as it has improved touch controls. Re-worked the plugin: The main executable checks will work when the game is compiled. Added methods to the plugin that check the flags. Simplified the AV1 hardware encoding setting. Note that this is still experimental. Download it here.

Updated dependencies, for improved performance and reliability. Fixed a bug, where the normal versions of nwjs weren't downloaded (when the setting for creating release builds was selected). Download it here.

This update brings some bug fixes, alongside a few improvements. I've also updated the Plugins pack to include a new one: FullScreen +. As the name implies, it adds a full screen toggle. And it also adds support for Windows PC handhelds when using the bootstrap. Changelog: Overhauled how WebP compression works. Switched over to ImageMagick. Merged the option for lossy/lossless compression and the compression level into two settings.

Fixed a typo in the plugin loading mechanism, that would cause a compiler error. Fixed a bug with the test builds. The tool wouldn't copy over the SDK version, when it was set to create test builds. Download it here.

Today's update (codenamed Gnocchi) brings some quality-of-life improvements, alongside updating to .NET 10 (Release Candidate 1). One of the most notable changes is the re-worked creation of test builds: it's now a dropdown in the main window; it takes care of the --disable-devtools option automatically (when necessary) and added additional info for better diagnostics. There was also an overhaul on the patching system, for better performance and accuracy.

Updated dependencies, bringing stability improvements. Initial API support for handhelds like the ROG Ally. The bootstrap will add the --handheld command line argument before launching the game. The flag is skipped on the Proton compatible build and Linux. Fixed a bug, where if the option to protect the source is turned off but asset encryption is on, the tool would crash. Download it here.

Re-worked how the JS Source Code tool worked behind-the-scenes. Fixes an issue where the UI would lock up during that stage. Slight tweaks to improve reliability. Fixed a bug, where the bootstrap would throw an error as it was trying to load the file catalog, even though it's the first time that the game runs. Cache paths now use the XDG path spec. Download it here.

Immortal Sins D0.42 Update 6 released!It’s been a while, hasn’t it? While I am focussed on a new project and Cook Tool, I wanted to give a bit of a refurbishing to the game. This is primarily due to.....

This is a rollup of updates of R6.01u1 and R6.01u2, which addresses some bugs that were present in R6.01. Changelog: Re-worked the filter, as it was filtering out game files by mistake. Fixed an error, where if the user set the save folder as the NW.js reserved folder, Quick Load breaks. Slight performance improvements.

This update is more of a behind-the-scenes cleanup, rather than a standard update. Quite a lot of re-work is done under the hood, which bring better performance and reliability (alongside making easier for me to maintain). You will notice faster build times and lower memory usage. Changelog: Improved memory usage, performance, and preparation speed. Consolidated some of the logic for the tool and the bootstrap.

"Another update, Ace? So soon?" Yeah. This one has some important fixes. This update addresses some issues that popped up quite recently. Specifically, I had to overhaul how the tool handles paths. In recent builds, paths wouldn't be adjusted properly, which would result into weird path related issues. The issues would manifest into errors regarding non-existent paths or false positives on the bootstrap (when it checks the integrity of the cache).

Fixed an issue, where the paths for the compiled JS files weren't updated properly in the html file. Fixed an issue, where Deep Level Encryption was skipped after creating the encrypted files on the first time. Download it here.

It’s finally here! The biggest update to RPG Maker Cook Tool Deluxe has arrived! A lot of quality of life updates, technical improvements and bug fixes have been added to the release, alongside the introduction of the all-new Deep Level Encryption. Let’s take a closer look. Overhauled Asset Pipeline As part of a major overhaul, the Asset Compressor, Deep Level Encryption and Source Code Protection has been merged into the Asset Preparation.

Here we are! A near stable version of R6.00 arrives today, bringing bug fixes and a few quality-of-life improvements (including a check where if the project has encrypted files, it will skip asset compression and encryption). Outside of bug fixes and looking into a way to flush the cache when the encryption changes (that applies when the option to clear the cache when the game closes is turned off), I can mark this release as a Release Candidate.

Reminder: This is a preview release. It's not production ready. You are free to use it for testing. Changelog: Added automatic migration for the older recipe file spec. Migration for individual recipe files is done automatically. Just point to the file via the file picker. It will also migrate the default settings as well, if you launch this version for the first time and there's no existing file for it.

The biggest update to the Cook Tool Deluxe has now arrived (in preview)! Overhauled pipeline, Deep Level Encryption, .NET 10 and more!

This update is more of a roll-up of two updates. The first one brings minor bug fixes and improvements to how the app records logs. The second one is a hotfix. That addresses issues where Windows Defender would just flag the bootstrapper. That is due to rcedit, which is used to change the icon on the bootstrapper and the game's executable.
