This page lists the commands that received new features in the Maniac Patch.

Those commands can be written either through the Maniac Patch editor, through the TPC program of the Maniac Patch, or by writing raw format commands.

This page is currently a stub, most commands still need to be filled.

Player status: Supported ✅

The Change Actor Name command allows to change the name of an actor.

The Maniac Patch supports the use of a variable or variable redirection for the ID of the actor, as well as using a string variable or string variable redirection for the name.

The common TPC syntax is

⚠️ This option is not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and requires using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Unsupported ❌

The Name Input Processing command allows to open the name input screen to rename a hero.

The Maniac Patch adds the possibility to use a variable or variable redirection for the ID of the actor. ⚠️ This option is not directly accessible through the Maniac editor in the public version, and requires using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

The development version adds the following field:

• Character limit: How many characters can be typed for the name, with the possibility to either use a constant, variable or variable redirection. ⚠️ This option was added in development versions of the editor, and is as such not available in public versions, in addition to lacking a common TPC writing.

Additionally, as custom pages for the name input processing scene can be written since the development version, the initial page can now use more values than just 0 and 1. ⚠️ This option was added in development versions of the editor, and is as such not available in public versions, in addition to lacking a common TPC writing.

Notes:

• The character limit is capped on the [1;30] range.
• Having the character limit set to 0 will use the default character limit (12 in English RPG Maker 2003).

TPC syntax:

@actor[1].inputName .kana .preset

Where:

• 1: ID of the hero, with the possibility to replace the constant by a variable or variable redirection.
• .kana: If set, the default page will be set to the second page (1). If omitted, the default page will be set to the first page (0).
• .preset: If set, the name of the actor should be displayed by default. If omitted, it will not be set by default.

Raw writing:

10740, "", a, b, c, d, e

• 10740: Command code
• a: Value to use for the Actor ID.
• b: Value to use for the initial page.
• c: Whether the scene should start with no default name (0) or if the name of the actor should be displayed by default (1).
• d: Defines if the values to use are constants, variables or variable redirections:
  • +1 if the Actor ID to use should be a variable.
  • +2 if the Actor ID to use should be a variable redirection.
  • +65536 if the character limit to use should be a variable.
  • +131072 if the character limit to use should be a variable redirection.
• e: Value to use for the character limit.

⚠️ This option is not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and requires using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Unsupported ❌

The Set Vehicle Location command allows to teleport a vehicle.

The Maniac Patch allows specifying a direction that the vehicle should face after teleportation.

Common TPC syntax:

@map[1].setVehiclePos .ship .pos 2, 3 .up

Where:

• 1 corresponds to the map ID, 2 to the X coordinate and 3 to the Y coordinate; They can be set to either constants or variables, but their types cannot be mixed.
• .ship corresponds to the vehicle, with the possibility to specify .boat for the Boat, .ship for the Ship and .airship for the Airship. ⚠️ TPC does not has a common syntax to specify the Player as a vehicle.
• .up corresponds to the direction parameter, with .retain corresponding to no direction change, .up to face up, right to face right, .down to face down and .left to face left.

Notes:

• It is possible to teleport the player through this command: doing so will not display any transition nor clear any picture if the map changes.
• Specifying a negative direction or a direction higher than 4 will keep the current direction.

Raw writing:

10850, "", a, b, c, d, e, f

• 10850: Command code
• a: Value to use for the Vehicle:
  • -1: Player
  • 0: Boat
  • 1: Ship
  • 2: Airship
• b: Whether the map ID and coordinates should be constants (0) or variables (1).
• c: Value to use for the map ID.
• d: Value to use for the X coordinate.
• e: Value to use for the Y coordinate.
• f: Value to use for the Direction:
  • 1: Up
  • 2: Right
  • 3: Down
  • 4: Left
  • Other values: Retain

⚠️ Those options are only accessible through the Maniac editor in development versions, but the displayed interface incorrectly displays that the Direction can be set as a variable or variable redirection which is false, and the parameter for the Event ID on the interface is actually the one displayed for the Direction. Those options can be used on public versions, but require using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Supported ✅

The Set Event Location command allows to teleport an event.

The Maniac Patch allows to specify a variable or variable redirection for the event ID, and allows specifying a direction that the event should face after teleportation.

Common TPC syntax:

@ev[1].setPos .pos 2, 3 .up

Where:

• 1 corresponds to the event ID, with the possibility to replace it by a variable or variable redirection.
• 2 corresponds to the X coordinate and 3 to the Y coordinate; They can be set to either constants or variables, but their types cannot be mixed.
• .up corresponds to the direction parameter, with .retain corresponding to no direction change, .up to face up, .right to face right, .down to face down and .left to face left.

Notes:

• The instance This Event can be specified by specifying the ID 10005, but the Player and the vehicles (IDs 10001~10004) cannot be targeted using the command.
• Specifying a negative direction or a direction higher than 4 will keep the current direction.

Raw writing:

10860, "", a, b, c, d, e

• 10860: Command code
• a: Value to use for the event ID.
• b: Whether the values to use should be constants, variables or variable redirections:

• d: Value to use for the Y coordinate.
• e: Value to use for the Direction:
  • 1: Up
  • 2: Right
  • 3: Down
  • 4: Left
  • Other values: Retain

Player status: Supported ✅

The Swap Event Location command allows to swap the position of an event with another.

The Maniac Patch supports the use of a variable or variable redirection for the events in place of using constants.

Notes:

• This command does not allow swapping the player (ID 10001), vehicles (IDs 10002~10004) and the instance This Event (ID 10005).
• Attempting to swap an event that does not exist will display an error and make the program close.

The common TPC syntax is

@ev[1].swap 2

, with the possibility to replace the constants by variables or variable redirections.

Raw writing:

10870, "", a, b, c

• 10870: Command code
• a: Value to use for the first event.
• b: Value to use for the second event.

  • +2 if the value to use for the first event should be a variable redirection.
  • +16 if the value to use for the second event should be a variable.
  • +32 if the value to use for the second event should be a variable redirection.

⚠️ This option is not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and requires using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Unsupported ❌

Notes:

• For positive values, the transition values are internally processed on 8 bits, so a value above 255 will loop back to the value 0.

The common TPC syntax is

@scr.hide 1

, with the possibility to replace the constant by a variable or variable redirection. To use the default transition, the value must be replaced by .default.

Raw writing:

11010, "", a, b

• 11010: Command code
• a: Value to use for the Transition.
• b: Whether the value to use should be a constant (0), a variable (1) or a variable redirection (2).

, with the possibility to replace the constant by a variable or variable redirection. To use the default transition, the value must be replaced by .default.

Raw writing:

11020, "", a, b

• 11020: Command code
• a: Value to use for the Transition.
• b: Whether the value to use should be a constant (0), a variable (1) or a variable redirection (2).

⚠️ This option is not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and requires using TPC, raw writing or another tool.

The Scroll Map command in RPG Maker 2000 only allowed shifting the camera by tiles.

Maniac expands the command by allowing to move and set the camera position using pixels, adds the instant movement speed for the camera, and adds the possibility to lock the camera in a put place by ignoring any camera shifting that could happen by using a command teleporting the player.

Player status: Stronger Fixing not supported ❌

Fix allows to fix the camera position.

The patch adds the parameter Stronger Fixing: if ticked and that a player teleportation occurs on the current map, the camera will stay still instead of moving. ⚠️ This option was added in development versions of the editor, and is as such not available in public versions, in addition to lacking a common TPC writing.

  • Amount of movement per frame: The camera movement will be done in X * 0.001 pixel per frame, where X corresponds to the Speed value.
  • Movement frame: The camera movement will be done in X frames, where X corresponds to the Speed value.
• Wait for Completion: If set, the game will wait that the camera finishes moving before processing the rest of the code of the event. ⚠️ While this option is shown and can be ticked in the Maniac editor, it is incorrectly assigned and the parameter will be removed if altered through the editor. Use TPC, raw writing or another tool to assign this parameter.

TPC syntax:

@scr.scroll .pxShift 1, 2 .speed 3 .wait

Where:

• 1 corresponds to the X value, with the possibility to use a constant, a variable or variable redirection.

Player status: Supported ✅; Erasing pictures in batch with the first value bigger than the second value does not work, see EasyRPG Player issue #3590

The original Erase Picture command in RPG Maker 2000 only allowed to erase one picture at a time by specifying its ID, which was expanded in the English release of RPG Maker 2003 by adding batch erase and erase with a variable ID.

Maniac expands the commands by adding three other modes:

• Variable ID: Erases the picture by specifying a variable redirection.
• Batch (Variable): Erases a batch of pictures by specifying the values to use through variables.
• All: Erases all pictures.

TPC writing:

• @pic[1].erase

  to erase a single picture, with the possibility to replace the value by a variable or variable redirection.

• @pic[1..2].erase

  to erase a batch of pictures, with the possibility to replace the two values by variables (the two values must both be constants or variables, it is not possible to mix types).

• @pic.erase .all

  to erase all pictures.

Raw writing:

11130, "", a, b, c

• a: Value to use for the picture ID. Set to 0 if all pictures are set to be deleted.
• b: Whether a single picture should be deleted (0), a single picture through variable (1), a single picture through variable redirection (4), if a batch of pictures should be erased (2), if a batch of pictures should be erased through variables (3), or if all pictures should be erased (5).
• c: If set to batch, value to use for the second picture ID of the batch.

Player status: Supported ✅

The original Wait command in RPG Maker 2000 only allowed to erase wait by specifying a tenth of a second, and was later expanded with the possibility to wait for a key press.

In the Maniac patch, the command was expanded by allowing to use a variable or variable redirection for the value, and by allowing to wait in frames of a second (1/60s) instead of tenths of a second.

TPC writing:

• @wait 1

  to wait for X tenths of a second (where X is the value), with the possibility to replace the value by a variable or variable redirection.

• @wait 1 .frame

  to wait for X frames (where X is the value), with the possibility to replace the value by a variable or variable redirection.

• @wait .input

  to wait for a key input.

Raw writing:

11410, "", a, b, c

• a: Value to use for the wait. Set to 0 if set to wait for a key input.
• b: Whether the wait should be in tenths of a second (0), in frames (256), or whether the wait should be for a key input (1).
• c: If the wait is not set to key input, whether the wait value to retrieve should be a constant (0), a variable (1), or a redirection of variable (2).

Player status: Supported ✅

The Play BGM command allows to play a music.

The Maniac Patch supports the use of variables and variable redirections for the fadein time, tempo, balance and volume, as well as using a string variable or string variable redirection for the music name.

Notes:

• Internally, the unit used for the Fadein Time by the command is milliseconds, not seconds: for instance, if you want to fadein the music by 5 seconds, then the value to use should be 5000.

TPC syntax:

@bgm.play "music" .opt 5000, 80, 100, 50

Where:

• music is the name of the music, and can be replaced by a string variable or string variable redirection.
• 5000 is the Fadein Time of the music, with the possibility to use a variable or variable redirection.
• 80 is the Volume of the music, with the possibility to use a variable or variable redirection.
• 100 is the Tempo of the music, with the possibility to use a variable or variable redirection.
• 50 is the Balance of the music, with the possibility to use a variable or variable redirection.

Raw writing:

11510, "name", a, b, c, d, e, f

• 11510: Command code
• name: Name of the music. If the Music Name to use is set to a string variable, this has no effect.
• a: Value to use for the Fadein Time.
• b: Value to use for the Volume.
• c: Value to use for the Tempo.
• d: Value to use for the Balance.
• e: Defines if the values to use are constants, variables or variable redirections:
  • +1 if the Music Name to use should be a string variable.
  • +2 if the Music Name to use should be a string variable redirection.
  • +16 if the Fadein Time to use should be a variable.
  • +32 if the Fadein Time to use should be a variable redirection.
  • +256 if the Volume to use should be a variable.
  • +512 if the Volume to use should be a variable redirection.
  • +4096 if the Tempo to use should be a variable.
  • +8192 if the Tempo to use should be a variable redirection.
  • +65536 if the Balance to use should be a variable.
  • +131072 if the Balance to use should be a variable redirection.

The Fadeout BGM command allows to fadeout the music.

The Maniac Patch supports the use of a variable or variable redirection for the fadeout value in addition to using a constant.

Notes:

• Internally, the unit used for the command is milliseconds, not seconds: for instance, if you want to fadeout the music by 5 seconds, then the value to use should be 5000.

The common TPC syntax is

@bgm.fadeout 5000

, with the possibility to replace the constant by a variable or variable redirection.

Raw writing:

11520, "", a, b

• 11520: Command code
• a: Value to use for the Fadeout.
• b: Whether the value to use should be a constant (0), a variable (1) or a variable redirection (2).

⚠️ The functions of this command are not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and require using the community plugin, TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Partial support ℹ️; Window mode only does toggle and also opens the save menu, settings menu softlocks the game by infinitely opening the save menu, license menu is not supported; as the debug menu is opened on the window of the game, whether it should be paused or not does not matter

In the Maniac patch, the Open Save Menu command was reworked to also allow opening other menus, and was renamed to Call System Functions.

It can as such be used to open other existing menus that had their own command, as well as opening some new menus and triggering new functions.

The following options can be selected:

• Save Menu: Opens the save menu. This is the original function of the command.
• Load Menu: Opens the load menu. Same behaviour than the Open Load Menu command.
• Party Menu: Opens the main menu. Same behaviour than the Open Menu Screen command.
• Toggle Window/Fullscreen: Changes the screen mode between window mode and fullscreen mode. Same behaviour than the Toggle Fullscreen Mode command.
• Window Mode: Changes the screen mode to window mode.
• Fullscreen Mode: Changes the screen mode to fullscreen mode.
• Media Option: Opens the settings menu. Same behaviour than the Open Video Options command.
• Debug Menu: Opens the debug menu. As the Maniac patch replaced the original debug menu by a window that opens outside of the game, it can be specified whether the game should be paused or not when it opens.
• License Window: Opens the license menu. This is a new menu from the Maniac patch which opens in a separate window and displays the license of the patch and of the various components it uses.
• F12 (Reset): Resets the game. Same behaviour than the Return to Title Screen command.

Common TPC syntax:

• @sys.call .saveMenu

• @sys.call .loadMenu

• @sys.call .partyMenu

• @sys.call .screenMode .toggle

• @sys.call .screenMode .window

• @sys.call .screenMode .fullScreen

• @sys.call .f12

• @sys.call .licenseMenu

• @sys.call .optionMenu

• @sys.call .debugMenu

• @sys.call .debugMenu .pause

Raw writing:

11910, "", a, b

• 11910: Command code
• a: Whether the save menu (0), load menu (1), main menu (2), settings menu (4), debug menu (5), license menu (6) should be opened, game be reset (7), or whether the screen mode should be changed (3).
• b: Only matters if the a value is set to screen mode or debug menu. For the screen mode, 0 corresponds to a toggle, 1 to window mode and 2 to fullscreen mode. For the debug menu, 0 corresponds to not pausing the game while 1 corresponds to pausing the game.

⚠️ The functions of this command are not directly accessible through the Maniac editor, and require using the community plugin, TPC, raw writing or another tool.

Player status: Unsupported ❌

In the Maniac patch, the Change Save Access command was reworked to also allow controlling other menus, and was renamed to Call System Functions.

The command dictates the status of all its menus at the same time, and only dictates if they can be opened by the player or not. It does not affect the use of the commands that trigger those functions.

The following menus/functions can be controlled:

• Save Menu
• Party Menu
• Toggle Window/Fullscreen (F4)
• Media Option (F5)
• Debug Menu (F9)
• Reset (F12)

The command can be written as-is through TPC, with each menu entry able to be removed if you want to still be able to use it:

@sys.limitation {
    .saveMenu
    .partyMenu
    .toggleScreen
    .optionMenu
    .debugMenu
    .f12
}

Raw writing:

11960, "", a, b

• 11960: Command code
• a: Whether only the save menu should be disallowed (0), allowed (1) (original RPG Maker functions), or whether the command should dictate the control of all menus (-1).
• b: Dictates which menus should be altered:
  • +1 if the save menu should be disabled.
  • +4 if the party menu should be disabled.
  • +8 if the screen toggling should be disabled.
  • +16 if the settings menu should be disabled.
  • +32 if the debug menu should be disabled.
  • +128 if game reset should be disabled.

Player status: Partial support ℹ️Reported as false on a new game, Load Screen command reported as true

Right after loading state (also known as Right after load) can be used to detect if the game just started, either as a new game or as part of a save loading.

If the conditional branch is used under one of the following conditions and that it is used during the first frame of said instance, the conditional branch will be considered as true:

• Start of a new game (whether the title is skipped or not)
• Save file loaded from the title screen menu
• Save file loaded from the Load command

All other instances will be considered to be false.

Notes:

• Loading a save file from the Open Load Menu or Call System Functions: Load Menu command will consider Right after loading state to be false on Maniac.

TPC syntax (.else bl can be removed if no else is wanted):

@if .rightAfterLoad() {
    
} .else bl {
    
}

Raw writing (only Conditional Branch header):

12010, "", 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, f

• 12010: Command code
• f: Whether the Conditional Branch should only be a if (0) or if it should be an if-else (1).

Player status: No proper support, always considered to be true ℹ️

Joypad is enabled (also known as Enable Joypad) can be used to detect if a controller is connected.

If a controller is connected, it will be reported as true, otherwise it will be reported as false.

TPC syntax (.else bl can be removed if no else is wanted):

@if .enableJoy() {
    
} .else bl {
    
}

Raw writing (only Conditional Branch header):

Player status: No proper support, always considered to be true ℹ️

Window is active can be used to detect if the window of the game is currently active.

This command is expected to be combined with Set Game Option: Behavior when Inactive as to let the game run while in the background (otherwise the window will always be reported as being active).

If the behavior of the game window when inactive is set to keep running and that the window of the game is put in the background, it will be reported as false. Otherwise, it will be reported as true.

TPC syntax (.else bl can be removed if no else is wanted):

@if .active() {
    
} .else bl {
    
}

Player status: No proper support, always considered to be true ℹ️

File output is available (also known as Can output file) can be used to know if the Maniac Patch is currently able to write files.

When using the commands Save, Control Global Save, Control String Variables and Output Picture, the Maniac Patch is able to write files in the game directory of the game: as to avoid problems with games writing too many files at once causing issues with the user machine, there is a limit of around 3 files write per second. If more file writing are attempted to be done during the same second, they will all fail.

The conditional branch as such informs you of this state: if you have met the file writing limit, the conditional branch will be reported as false; otherwise it will be reported as true.

TPC syntax (.else bl can be removed if no else is wanted):

@if .canOutput() {
    
} .else bl {
    
}

Raw writing (only Conditional Branch header):

12010, "", 12, 3, 0, 0, 0, f

• 12010: Command code
• f: Whether the Conditional Branch should only be a if (0) or if it should be an if-else (1).

⚠️ The options of this command were added in development versions of the editor, and are as such not available in public versions, in addition to lacking common TPC writings.

Player status: Partial support ℹ️; specifying the event ID 10005 does not work; No warning is displayed when selecting an invalid event ID.

The Erase Event command allows to erase an event.

In the Maniac Patch, it is now possible to specify another event ID to erase, as well as using a variable or variable redirection for the event ID to use. Additionally, once an event has been erased, it is possible to make it come back.

Notes:

• The instance This Event can be specified either by using the value 0 or 10005.
• The Player and the vehicles cannot be altered by this command.
• Specifying an event ID that does not exist displays an error and forces the game to close.
• Erasing an event already erased or making an event already present return has no effect.

TPC syntax:

@ev[1].erase

Where:

• 1 is the event ID to use, with the possibility to use a constant, variable or variable redirection.
• .erase corresponds to the action to perform, with .erase to erase an event and .return to make it return.

Raw writing:

12320, "", a, b, c

• 12320: Command code
• a: Whether the Event ID to use should be a constant (0), variable (16) or variable redirection (32).
• b: Whether the selected event ID should be erased (0) or should return (1).
• c: Value to use for the Event ID.
