RPG Maker VX Ace Cheater

How to Patch on Windows

Preparing

• Do NOT run patch under a path that contains non-english characters.
  • rvunpacker.exe will fail with a path contains Japanese characters on Windows 10 with Japanese encoding.

Auto

• Download RPG-Maker-ACE-Cheater-Patcher.exe from https://github.com/allape/RPG-Maker-ACE-Cheater/releases, and put it in the game folder.
• Double click RPG-Maker-ACE-Cheater-Patcher.exe to patch the game.

Manually

• Preparing
  • Open game folder, and make sure every command executes at the root of the game folder.
  • Open a terminal/cmd/powershell window in game folder by Shift + Mouse Right Click -> Open in Terminal.
  • If rvunpacker.exe is untrusted, you may need to download Ruby DevKit then run with

    ruby rvdata2-unpacker/rvunpacker.rb decode .

    • See README.md for more details.
• Use RPGMakerDecrypter-cli.exe to unpack Game.rgss3a.
  • Download RPGMakerDecrypter-cli.exe from https://github.com/uuksu/RPGMakerDecrypter/releases.
  • Run

    RPGMakerDecrypter-cli.exe Game.rgss3a
    move Game.rgss3a Game.rgss3a~

• Use rvunpacker.exe to unpack Data/Scripts.rvdata2.
  • Download this repo and copy rvdata2-unpacker/rvunpacker.exe to the game folder.
  • Run

    rvunpacker.exe decode .

• Open Scripts/Scene_Base.rb:
  • Copy everything in AsCheater.rb to the beginning of this file.
  • Put code AsCheater.update after line def update. For example:

    # other codes...
    def update
      AsCheater.update
      # other codes...
      update_basic
      # other codes...
    end
    # other codes...

• Use rvunpacker.exe to repack Scripts and YAML back to Data/Scripts.rvdata2.
