Free RPG Maker MZ Plugin: CT_NoteTagEditor — Visual Notetag Editor

CT_NoteTagEditor

Visual Notetag Editor for RPG Maker MZ

CT_NoteTagEditor is a DMM-powered visual notetag editor built for RPG Maker MZ projects.

Instead of manually editing long raw noteboxes inside the RPG Maker database editor, this tool provides a responsive software-style editing workspace directly inside the game runtime.

Designed exclusively for use with CT_DevModeManager (DMM).

✨ Main Features

• Visual DMM-integrated notetag editor
• Searchable database object browser
• Runtime apply support
• Permanent JSON disk save support
• Automatic backup system before save
• Quick insert notetag helpers
• Batch modify tools
• Replace / append / remove notetag operations
• Responsive sharp UI (no blurry transform scaling)
• DMM modal shield support
• Fullscreen toggle support (F4)
• Runtime-safe editing workflow
• CT_MetadataEditor compatibility alias

📦 Supported Database Types

• Actors
• Classes
• Skills
• Items
• Weapons
• Armors
• Enemies
• States
• Tilesets

🖥️ Responsive Workspace Support

Unlike many RPG Maker plugins that only target a single resolution, CT_NoteTagEditor is designed to work across multiple workspace sizes:

• 1920×1080
• 1280×720
• 816×624 (default RPG Maker MZ resolution)

The UI uses responsive CSS layouts instead of transform scaling, helping text and controls remain sharp and readable.

⚡ Batch Modify System

Batch tools allow fast database editing workflows:

• Append notetags
• Prepend notetags
• Replace exact text
• Remove exact text
• Remove tags by name
• Clear noteboxes
• Filtered object operations
• ID-range operations
• Runtime preview before save

Useful for large projects with many database entries.

💾 Runtime Apply + Disk Save

The editor supports:

• Runtime apply during playtest
• Permanent JSON saving into data/*.json
• Automatic backup creation before save

Disk saving only works in local NW.js / playtest environments where file access is available.

🔒 DMM-Only Integration

This plugin is intentionally designed as a DMM-only developer editor.

It:

• does NOT add player-facing menus
• does NOT modify DMM internals
• integrates only through the official CT_DevModeManager public API

⚠️ Required Dependency: CT_DevModeManager

CTNoteTagEditor requires **[1]CTDevModeManager** to work.

This plugin does not open by itself and does not add a player-facing menu.

It is designed to run inside the DMM developer dashboard.
