#  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](https://github.com/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](https://github.com/mkxp-z/mkxp-z)).


#### The software uses the following dependencies for RPG Maker MV/MZ:
- [nwjs](https://nwjs.io/) - As the main engine of the game
- [cicpoffs](https://github.com/adlerosn/cicpoffs) - For mounting the game folder in windows Case-Insensitive mode (that allows nwjs better find the game files)
- [evbunpack](https://github.com/mos9527/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](https://nwjs.io/) - As the main engine of the game
- [electron 9.4.4](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v9.4.4) to run v5 version games of this engine
- python script tyranoextract with these dependencies (asarlib,pefile)

#### Dependencies for RPG Maker XP / VX / VX Ace
- [mkxp-z](https://github.com/mkxp-z/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)

  
#### 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


 
After installing the program you can run the game using an application - "RPG Maker MV/MZ (cicpoffs mount)"
