Create installers for RPG Maker XP or VX (Ace) games for Windows, Mac, and Linux (Debian / Ubuntu).
On Linux and Mac, mkxp and/or mkxp-z is used as the native game executable. Please refer to their documentation for compatibility issues with running your game.
Please use git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lunarcloud/rpg-maker-vx-installer-scripts.git
This was made to run on Linux. If you don't have Linux running yet, I suggest installing VirtualBox and installing the latest LTS version of Ubuntu on it.
Ubuntu / Debian users can use this to set up:
sudo apt install curl icnsutils nsis wine
You cannot, as is default, have save files where the program files live. Windows 7 or newer, Linux, and macOS do not allow this for installed applications, and expect you to save data to the current user's data folder.
See example files\DataManager.rb for an example of script changes to do this.
Your game cannot be using any special addons that require DLLs. MXKP is used to replace the standard RPG Maker software (and it's DLLs) and it does not use any sort of emulation that might enable your extra DLLs to work.
