Shapes Recognition

Hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our plugin:
Shapes Recognition.

Before we continue, we would like to remind you that all of our plugins work within the environment:   
RPG Maker MZ ↔ PC Windows ↔ NWJS

If you use other platforms or devices, we cannot guarantee correct operation because unfortunately we have no way to test them. Please keep this in mind before proceeding.

Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.

Plugin Overview

Platform:RPG Maker MZ
Available versionsDemo: Yes | Full: Yes

Plugin Details: Shapes Recognition

This plugin implements a drawing-based interaction system that allows players to perform actions by drawing shapes directly on the screen.

It translates player drawings into game commands, enabling the creation of puzzles, magic systems, or secret mechanisms that respond to specific symbols.

Features

  • Customizable Drawing Canvas: The plugin provides a flexible drawing area that can be customized. You can set the canvas to be completely transparent or a solid color, adjust the brush color, and add up to three custom text elements to guide the player.


  • Shape Recognition Modes: You have control over how the game interprets the player drawing.
    The system can be set to "Automatic" mode, where it recognizes the shape drawn by the player automatically, or "Manual" mode, which requires the player to confirm their drawing.
    You can also adjust the recognition sensitivity to choose the precission needed.


Use Examples

  • Rune-Based Magic System: Transform your combat by requiring players to draw specific magical runes to cast spells. For example, a player might need to draw a thunder symbol to cast a thunder spell, or a circular shield to activate a defense one.


  • Secret Door Mechanisms: Create special puzzles where players must "carve" (draw) a symbol into a stone wall or "trace" a keyhole pattern to reveal hidden paths.


  • Drawing Minigames and Skill Tests: Add non-combat challenges where an NPC might ask the player to reproduce a painting or symbol. Based on the accuracy of the drawing, the dialogue of the NPC will change and might reward the player based on their artistic "skill."

Differences between the Versions

Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.

Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.

Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?

At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.

This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.

Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.

FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.

For more information on this topic, visit our website or contact us directly through our support page: https://undermax.online/undermax/support.html

I'm loving this plugin but I have a question:  how do you use the plugin in battle? I tried using a common event that force an action if the drawing is correct, but it's very incovenient. How can I make it work like in the youtube tutorial?
Thank you

First of all, congratulations on the plugin...  It's excellent.  
However, I have an error and I don't know how to solve it.  I'm not sure if I configured it correctly, but when I go to draw,
sometimes the event returns with the error or success message I set... sometimes nothing happens and I have to repeat the drawing several times 
until something happens.  Could you help me?

Hi, how are you? Thanks for your message.

I'm sorry you're experiencing issues with the plugin. However, it's very difficult for me to assist you without the full context. I need you to please send me a demo through the support page where the issue you're experiencing is presented, and where you can explain the problem to me in more detail so I can replicate it in my environment and provide you with a better solution, as working blindly is really very difficult. You can upload the demo to any hosting service such as Google Drive, MediaFire, or whichever you prefer.

Remember that I need to be able to open the project and see how the plugin is configured, so don’t forget to attach the entire project folder, especially the Data and js folders that contain the plugin configuration. The more information you attach, the faster I’ll be able to help you.

Remember that you have the demonstration and explanatory video that shows how to configure the plugin.

Best regards, and I look forward to your reply! 

This is a very original plugin and gives me a lot of ideas! Some questions:

  • How would this be played with a controller? Can the analogue sticks be used?
  • For PS4 and PS5, could the touchpad be used?
  • Does the bundle come with a demo or only the files?
  • Not planning to do this but curious: would it be possible/difficult to convert it to MV?

Thanks!

Hi. I'm glad you like the idea. 😉

This plugin is mainly dedicated to using the mouse, It would not be very easy to apply its use for gamepad, because the Javascript control API is used and it does not It has recognition of the touchpad. 

The only alternative would be some additional plugin or add-on that allows you to create a virtual pointer and move it with the sticks, but I also see this as not optimal. 

The download includes the plugin js file along with the program you will use to train the model. A demo is usually not necessary, as the video is usually enough to learn. But if you require it I can give you the video demo so you can see how it is made. Unfortunately I don't work with RPG MAKER MV, I work exclusively for Rpg maker MZ.

I hope I have answered all your questions, 

Best wishes! 😀

If you need anything else, don't be afraid to tell me.

Thanks! Very informative. Just found your Itch and loving your work. i'll have to think on how exactly to implement such a system in a game i'm drafting, but once it's in production, i'm sure i'll buy multiple of your plugins :)

I just bought the plugin :) If possible, I would love to have the demo to get started quicker! What is the easiest way for you to send it safely? There's also a trained model mentioned, that i should contact you for, is it included in the download or to be sent seperately too? In that case... :)

Hello. Thank you very much for your support, and I'm glad you liked it. Don't worry, give me a couple of hours because I'm not available on weekends, but I'll soon upload a demo of the project so you can comfortably download it from itch.io!

Best regards!

By the way, I didn't answer your second question, sorry. The download includes the pre-trained model with the video example, and the blank file for you to use and train as you wish.
