LUMINOL IS LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS! PLEASE CONTACT Leelee#7575 ON DISCORD OR EMAIL lily@nowaffles.com IF YOU WANT TO HELP
Luminol is an experimental remake of the RGSS RPG Maker editors in Rust with love ❤️.
Luminol targets native builds with eframe. Luminol currently reads only rxdata (not rvdata or rvdata2, sorry VX and VX Ace users). In the past, Luminol used to exclusively read rusty object notation (ron) files made from rmxp_extractor. Now, it uses alox-48 to deserialize rxdata. It is not 100% perfect, if it does not open your project properly, please file an issue.
In the future a custom .lumina format is planned, as well as ron, rvdata 1 & 2, and json.
Luminol may use Lua for plugins in the future. It is something I am actively looking into.
- @Speak2Erase: Luminol's main contributor
- @somedevfox: Occasional contributor and creator of rsgss (a sister project of Luminol)
- @Lionmeow designer of Luminol's icon and Lumi
Luminol is compatible only with RGSS1 for now. RGSS2 & 3 use different tileset formats which Luminol does not support. There are plans to support them in the future, though.
Lily (Luminol's main contributor) does not have a copy of VX or VX Ace yet, so until then Luminol is focused on RGSS1. If you want, you can buy her a copy or send her a crack.
Scratch that, thank you to bobhostern? for buying Lily VX Ace.
Luminol, however will have compatibility modes for various RGSS1 compatible runtimes, usually enabling extra features. Compatibility:
- RGSS1: Equivalent to RPG Maker XP
- mkxp/mkxp-freebird: Has extra layers
- mkxp-z: Has extra layers, support for playing movies, etc
- ModShot: (Luminol's target) extra layers, OpenAL effects, ruby gem support?
- rsgss: Likely the same as ModShot
Native builds are the main focus at the moment, but no official releases will be made until Luminol is stable.
Instead, you will have to compile luminol yourself, by grabbing your favorite nightly rust toolchain from rustup and running cargo build.
Luminol has like a bajillion dependencies right now so it may take upwards of 15 minutes to compile.
You can not use one of the stable release channels.
