Setup
System Requirements
Preparations
A few things to note before using the app:
- Make sure that you have at least 1 GB of free space on the main drive (the one that houses the Operating System) and you have an internet connection. The tool downloads the necessary binaries in order to work properly.
- If you are on Windows, you may need the Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable. If the app complains that it can't find vcruntime140.dll, download the Redistributable from here.
- The app has been tested with RPG Maker MV v1.6.2 and RPG Maker MZ 1.7.0.
What's new in RPG Maker Cook Tool Deluxe
Expanding and improving on the original, Cook Tool Deluxe brings a multitude of improvements. From the overhauled engine, to the new utilities, it's a one stop shop for deploying RPG Maker MV and MZ games.
- Faster and better than ever: Re-built from the ground up with a new UI framework, Cook Tool Deluxe enjoys far better performance (compared to the original). In addition, it's built with .NET NativeAOT technology, making it even faster (with a smaller file size, too).
- Hotpatching System:Manually patching files is a thing of a past. Hotpatching prepares the required files before compiling. No more typos for you.
- New (and updated) utilities: Alongisde a refreshed Metadata Editor, new tools have been added to streamline the work needed for deploying the game.
- NW.js Manager: Retrieves the relevant version of NW.js (that you've selected) and uses it for various functions. It can also apply new icon and information for the executable.
- Metadata Editor: Alongside a refershed design, it now adds the options to attach a startup and background script for the built-in NodeJS.
- Package Creator: he option to compress the files into one package has been enhanced with support of Halva Package and the addition of Highest compression.
- Database Celanup: Using a plugin to compress/encrypt the database? It takes care of the chore for you. Complete with an ignore list for plugins that can't read the compressed/encrypted database.
- Recipe File support:Now, you can easily recall the settings that you had for your project. It's as easy as opening the .rmrecipe file.
