Simple MiniMap

じ☆ve冰风

This plugin adds a fixed-configuration minimap to your RPG Maker MZ project. The minimap exclusively displays tiles marked with Region ID 100, making it ideal for highlighting specific areas like pathways, safe zones, or hidden sections. The player is represented as a colored dot, and the map dynamically updates as they move.

Key Features:​

• Region 100 Exclusive:
  
  
  
  • Only tiles painted with Region ID 100 (set in the map editor) are displayed. All other regions are ignored.
    
  
  
• Fixed Configuration:
  
  
  
  • Settings like size, colors, and position are hardcoded for simplicity (modify directly in the plugin code).
    
  
  
• Dynamic Player Tracking:
  
  
  
  • The player is always centered on the minimap, and the map updates in real-time as they move.
    
  
  
• Customizable Constants (via code):
  
  
  
  • MAP_RANGE: Adjust the visible radius around the player (e.g., 5 = 5 tiles in all directions).
    
  • SCALE: Change the pixel size of each tile (default: 8x8).
    
  • POS_X/POS_Y: Set manual coordinates or use -1 for automatic positioning (bottom-right corner).
    
  • Colors: Modify hex codes for the background (BG_COLOR), player (PLAYER_COLOR), and Region 100 (REGION_100_COLOR).
    
  
  

Usage Instructions:​

• Installation:
  
  
  
  • Add the plugin to your RPG Maker MZ project via the Plugin Manager.
    
  
  
• Map Setup:
  
  
  
  • In your map editor, paint Region ID 100 on tiles you want to display on the minimap.
    
  
  
• Customization:
  
  
  
  • Edit the constants at the top of the plugin code (e.g., MAP_RANGE, SCALE, colors) to match your needs.
    
  
  

• No Plugin Parameters: All settings are edited directly in the plugin code.
  
• Performance: Lightweight and optimized for real-time updates.
  
• Compatibility: Designed for RPG Maker MZ. Tested with default assets.

I am pleased to introduce Rpx Minimap System MZ, a professional minimap plugin built from the ground up for stability, performance, and a seamless development experience in RPG Maker MZ.

While the market offers several minimap solutions, this plugin was specifically engineered to solve the problems that often plague development: unreliable architecture, convoluted configuration, and unpredictable behavior that breaks during critical project phases. This isn't just another display tool; it's a production-ready system designed to integrate reliably into your commercial or ambitious hobby project.

Below is a concise comparison that illustrates the fundamental design philosophy differences. The Rpx System prioritizes a stable, integrated core that mirrors the editor, while other common solutions can introduce fragility through abstracted systems.






Core Professional Advantages​

• Unmatched Stability for Production
  The plugin's core is built on the principle of "what you see is what you get." By using native Region IDs for map painting and standard Event note tags for markers, it eliminates entire categories of bugs. Your minimap logic is visually represented in your project files, making it future-proof and easy for any team member to understand.
  
• The Performance-Optimized "Ultimate" Engine (Pro Version)
  The commercial Ultimateversion is engineered for demanding games:
  
  
  
  • Dynamic Scaling & LOD: Automatically adjusts rendering detail based on map size and zoom level to maintain smooth frame rates, even on mobile devices.
    
  • Exploration Fog & Animated Effects: Creates a professional sense of discovery without taxing performance.
    
  • Interactive Navigation Suite: Features like the smooth Zoom System, real-time Compass with bearing and target tracking, and an Advanced Quest System with path prediction transform the minimap from a passive display into an active gameplay guide.
    
  
  
• Developer Experience as a Feature
  From the Visual Configuration Tool in the Pro version to the logical, tag-based setup in the free version, the system is designed to save you time. It respects the RPG Maker workflow instead of forcing you to learn a new one.
  

• Free Version: Offers the core, stable minimap engine: real-time display via Region IDs, player indicator, and basic event markers. It's fully licensed for commercial use and is perfect for prototyping, simple games, or testing the system's reliability.
  
• Ultimate (Pro) Version: Unlocks the complete professional toolkit: advanced visuals (fog, gradients, animations), the full interactive navigation suite (compass, zoom, quest tracker), the Smart Legend for customization, and lifetime updates with priority support. This is the recommended path for any serious, commercial, or complex project.
