[Izar]

Well, this topic was made eirlier, but it is long gone. Remember the english version is NOT illegal because the japanese government said that Enterbrain had NO control over translation and allowed Don Miguel to make an english one(after he already did).

Anyways, I know tons of sites with RPG Maker stuff. Infact, I've edited up some charsets to fit me. Like the one I have attached. Anyways, If you want those sites, ask and ye shall receive.

[MysticWarrior]

I always wanted one, but I can't find one. Can you give me a link? =)

[Izar]

To the Maker?

http://www.kamain.com/ is the best to find some stuff, basic stuff that is. It has the RTP, I don't reccomend the Expansion RTP, as it tends to mess things up.

http://www.rpg2knet.com is also good, much more sets for the maker, but, the problem is, they have way too many rips.

[MysticWarrior]

Err. I can't find it. =( Sorry, but can you give me a direct link?

[Izar]

Ah, at http://www.kamain.com/ just go to FILES... lol, sorry, I thought you would just find it.

The Attached File is a Chipset I did, It's an RTP chipset with some extras. I call it Graveyard(all images must be .png to work for the maker.):

Want anything else Just ask, I got more chip sets too.

This topic has been done before Izar, and your a moderator, you should know better, rather than just re-making a topic all over again, how about posting in the original, this should be locked IMO.

[Izar]

No, because the old one is done and down the drain, and I do not want to revive an old topic. And you do not need to tell me what to do. Since your telling me that? Why not MW?

[Elliott]

Because you are one who started this.
Plus I don't like you at all...
It's against the rules to create duplicate topics, and as a moderator, It is up to you to enforce these rules, not break them.

[Izar]

And it is up to you not to tell a mod what to do. If i would have broken a rule, then MW would have said something, because he is more expirienced, plus, You have not been saying that o anyone else.

Plus I don't like you at all...

HAHAHAHAHA! Don't be biased. HAHAHAHA! that was lame.

[Elliott]

You call me lame, and then you do "haha" in capital letter, wtf?!

[Eugine]

Agatio YOU was the one who sometimes say don't make lame revives, well reviving the old RPG Maker topic is lame... Man and your off-topic.

Anyways, I have RPG Maker 2003, I tried making a game with it but I got confused and uninstalled it :blink:

[Elliott]

Hmmm, when someone else (besides Izar) says that, it makes sense, I guess it is kinda bad to pointlessly revive, but it should have been done, there is a loophole in the rules. It says not to create duplicate topics, but not to pointlessly revive, So in theory, the old one should have been revived, but not pointless (spamming).

[Izar]

And, In theory, one must make a new topic on it, and not revive.

HAHAHAHA was all in caps because, what you said was hilarious. It had nothing to do with this.

Some of that looks like it was from the opening of GS2, at Idejima, with the wierd graphics.

[Eugine]

Anyways, back on topic. How do you put in character and stuff on that hard to use program :ph34r: its a bunch of hardness

[Izar]

Hard? Ok, wait a sec, what do you mean? Making characters?

When started, press F8 OR go to the top bar and go to Database... looks kinda like a notepad...

[Eugine]

I dunno really, I gave up learning RPG Maker anyways. I once tried to make my own game it turned out into a disater.

[Elliott]

Yeah I tried it too, not my thing, I prefer web designing, much more straightoforward, plus it's your own work. RPG Make is ok for a bit of fun I guess, not my thing though.

[Izar]

That's why you got to try harder. Ever played Exile? Maybe not... but it took a year and a half. That, and RPGMaker 2000 is much more complicated that HTML(that I know so far). The events get confusing too.

[odyssey_ml]

I think of it like thid, here are my definitons of learning languages and programs

HTML (easy)
CSS (easy)
PHP (medium)
Java (hard)
C++ (I'm learning it and it's hard)
Javascript (medium/easy)

Now for programs:

RPG Maker 2000 (easy)
Rpg Maker 2003 (medium/easy)
Game Maker (medium)

[Eugine]

Good for you, I don't know PHP that well, CSS currently learning it and I'm not interested in the others... SQL seems cool though >_<

[Elliott]

To make a website all you NEED is HTML.
CSS comes in very, very handy for storing all your style info and changing whole layouts with one text document.
PHP helps with interactivity and can also help with navigation bars which are usually a drag.

They are the 3 that I will be learnings (already know html and css).

[Izar]

Um, was that related to the RPG Maker(s)? Anyways...

So far, I'm making a layout for my RPG Maker site... I started the Layout 3 days ago, all done by me and using tables...


Anyways, I like the amout of things you can do with the RPG Maker 2000. '95 is basic... too basic. and '03, never tried it...

[Elliott]

Cool, did you make the layout or alter your current bladedfury layout to look different?

[Izar]

Made my own. Got a friend to work on a style thing for it. Not done yet... I think he's doing the style in CSS, I plan on tables.
and to test my work I go here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?fi...=tryhtml_script

Anyways, I am started making custom Chipsets, Charsets, etc... It's kinda hard for the chipsets, charsets are a snap.

[Elliott]

All good sites use tables and styles. CSS and HTML are the most integral elements in web design and development.

[Izar]

Um, I know that...

He's working on patching my site up, and I'm working on the basics... makes things go alot faster.

[Elliott]

*sees that warning has been lowered and does a little dance*
Thanks whoever did that!

I'm against having site helpers, I prefer to make sites myself. Seriously no offence to anyone who does that though, sometimes it can be a big help. I just prefer to work alone, that way it's all my work and I control everything.
*laughs crazily*

[Izar]

yes, the work is helpful, but I control him, I tell him what to do. That and I took what he did away because he did not follow directions, but back on RPG Maker 2000...

Any one here ever made their own RPGs that work or have made their own sets? I'll post some of my works here in a little bit...

[Adam]

i am proud to say this, for i have not said it for some time:
RM2K 4EVER!!!!!!

w00t!

i need to lie down.

[Izar]

Um, ok... please be more specific...

Why do you like it so much?

[vasko]

i like that kind of program to create the idea, the maps and characters, etc, then i make a warcraft3 map out of it or something else, but never as a standalone game.

[Eugine]

I dislike RPG Maker since you need RPG Maker to play the game also...

[Elliott]

Eugine's got 1000 posts! w00t!
I also dislike it as I have said before, I se it as using premade web templates, your game always looks similar to someone elses, they all have a similar style, music etc. Not my thing.

[Izar]

Yeah, but it's alot more complicated on WC3.

But anyways, RPG maker is good because it's for people who do not care about how things look all the time. Those people are too visually oriented.

[Elliott]

Uh, no, those people just want to make games that look awesome. Visuals are a huge part of a game, plus RPG make playability is pretty poor, it's too SNES like, which is ok I guess, but RPG maker is very limiting.

[Elliott]

Um, you not really supposed to advertise except in signatures and the advertising topic. But I guess if it's really related to RPG Maker then It's ok.

more complicated?

you can change camera angles, terrain styles... you can make a FPS if you know how, man! i must admit, im the kind of person who just likes visual. i love characters that look good, even if they are the bad guys, and i love a good looking rpg, even if it's half good... of course, if it's bad, i prefer a medium-looking game (thats why i chose golden sun, which i bought with the money of the devolution of lunar legend, i hated it. but i still liked the characters.. looked good =P) anyway, wc3 takes more time, but you can make terrific cutscenes, and if you use wc3 art tools and gmax programmed for warcraft3, you can make a copy of golden sun as a warcraft map (im serious, may take a month at least, but it works out well)

WC3 IS more complicated, that's what I said.

PEOPLE! READ POSTS BEFORE POSTING A REPLY< THANK YOU! ;)

[Eugine]

There's this new RPG Maker out, I think it's called XP. Not sure though, try it out and tell us what you think Izar.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

I downloaded it recently but I have one major problem: I can start an event cutscene but it keeps replaying. Is there something I missed?

[Izar]

Never heard of RPG Maker XP, but I've heard of RPG Maker 2003...

Hmmm, I think i've encountered your problem, Daniel. I believe there is something you put in like End Event or something, i don't remember, sorry.

[Izar]

I think RPG Maker XP is our RPG Maker 2003... Beats me.

[Elliott]

Or, it's the next one after 2003 that is yet to be released to the general public, and can ne found through a long search.

[Mallick]

Wow,this is interesting,I see that CJ was showing a link,isn't that advertising,mod's?

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

Technically, it is advertising, but this doesn't exactly belong in the spam section either. Does anyone know where to find a few good GS chipsets? I got ahold of village one, but I can't find any others.

Put simply, deal with it. And yeah I think.

[Izar]

It's not advertising, it's a site that is related to the topic, and not by him.

RPG Maker XP is RPGMaker 2004.

I'm Getting RPG Maker 2003 now, I like the battle system ALOT better than the '00 version.

Okay, I think that clears it up.

[Izar]

Yeah, and it is only in the demo/beta test versions now...

Not only that, but they say they got way too many bugs to work out...

[Zyphr]

No, there are full translations, not beta, just not translated by Entarbain. Entarbrain's not gonna translate any of the ones out yet.

[Izar]

That's what I mean, there is an English one, Demo, and not the full. I mean things people can actually read.

¤ PRICE fo the RPG MAKER XP: ¥9800 (¥10290 yen including tax)

NOTE - THERE IS NO ENGLISH VERSION FOR FREE, UNLESS IT IS THE DEMO LIKE AT X-RPG.NET.

Look here: http://www.rpg2knet.com/ look st that front page, it COSTS 100 dollars(us) and alot of yen.

[Zyphr]

x-rpg.net if not a demo for like the 3rd time.

[Izar]

Zypher, the version they have DOES NOT have all the full funtions.

ALL the makers are perfectly legal translations. They were translated into an english program along with the help of KanjiHack. Enterbrain found out and wanted to get Don miguel into trouble, but the Japanese government allowed Don Miguel to translate it because Enterbrain had no control over translation of products.

[Zyphr]

Yes, they did. The only thing is THAT WASN'T TRANSLATED BY DON MIGUAL. And if you would take the tem minuted to download it, you would see that it's the fill version.

[Izar]

No, the funtions on it different from the full version, i got the one that you refered. The real one has more options. Don't believe me, so to the enterbrain main site.

I know it wasn't donmuguel, i was replying to another's post.

I've been a steady RPG Maker 2000 user for awhile now, until I found a copy of a fully translated RPG Maker XP(FULL), In which it TOTALLY rocks!! It has much better graphics and it has so many things to do, the battle system is great, and if you know how to code you can edit the system to do other things.

I would post a link, But from what I heard it's illegal and the rules say no posting illegal things :blink: If an admin allows me to post it, I will. Or I'll PM or E-Mail the download to you if you would like :angry:

NOTE: It is FULL, don't tell me it's still beta. If you want some proof I'll take some screenshots.

Same with me. I'm still using rm2k3 mostle. because of some limitations in rmxp sutch as how solid an event is does not depemd on the event and it can't be played in full screen. YOurs may or mar not be from the same site as mine.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

I use both '00 and '03 as I see fit. I've yet to find the site with the released version of XP (aka not a demo) but I am constantly looking for it.

<To Wonder> I should have sent you a PM a couple of days back. If it hasn't been recieved yet, please PM me back.

YAY!!! I got RPG Maker XP!! It's a little trickier than the others and it needs the screen resolution to be changed, but it rocks!

[Tenchi_sonic]

Ok i finaly Got the Prgram Rpg Maker XP it Awasome But i cant find anywhere to Download Chipsets and stuff like That... and WHenever i Use the Deafualuts (it has a white Background and When you go in Game it looks Black how i fix that ;) :( :P

[Valistrix]

I have RPG maker 2000 and 3000 but would somebody please tell me how to make a party start point on one of them both and link to then next project like walk into the nezt area?

[Tenchi_sonic]

Well Wonder yes i have used Previous Rpg Makers but i oculd only make CHeap Hunky Junk when i found out this was coming out i am like man i getting and learning everything!!! found out the when i try to put sumthing on the World aka a tree it has a White Box around it that i cant Fix... well i was wondering... wonder is there any email Source Msn nething i can contact u with so u may be able to give me basic Hints (and how to fix this Box Problem?)

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

Hahaha! Techni_sonic, I pity your position. It took me a whole half hour to figure out how to fix that.

Notice there are four layers. The basis is simple. Say you wished to make a table outside. In the bottom layer, do the ground as you like it. Change to the middle layer, and place the table on the ground. Then swap to upper layer, and add on an item. That is it, basically.

The point of that was to point out that there are three layers and an event mode. Do your maps in that order, swapping if necessary. I was only a n00b three weeks ago, so you'll be fine in no time.

[Mallick]

I guess I should ask it here since this is a topic for it.I can't set a starting point or anything for my game in RPGmaker2003......can someone help me?

[TheDogWho]

I've made a funny puzzle game on RM2K and you have to run around dodging these l'il kids who shout 'WEH!' and you lose health because of that...

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

Ok. PiersDM?? This is what you do:

1) Once you've made the starting map, right click the tile you want to start on. Then select place party position. I suggest finding a tutorial (there are HEAPS on www.gamingw.net). Everybody started out in your position, so you're going fine.

If you have any individual questions, don't hesitate to send them to me.

[Mallick]

OK, thankyou DWA, it is very apriciated!

[Valistrix]

I have RPG maker 2003 but how do I download RPG maker XP?

[Adam]

I actually worked REALLY hard (i was in 5th grade) and made a shooting example in RM2k that makes it so that when you press <enter> or <space> you shoot a bullet in the direction you are facing.
If anyone wants it, say so!

[Elliott]

Look at the dates before old posts and stop reviving old topics, it's a pain in the ass for everyone.

[Venus_Man1]

Can we start posting in this topic again? Because I want to know where to find this thing.

[musicman2059]

Good luck finding it. Remember, the english version is an illegal rip. (You think the makers of this program would learn, eh?)

[Mars Djinni]

I don't think it's illegal. Izar said that there was an explanation. It's in the first post.

look here:

Ya, I would like too know also, where is it?

[Mars Djinni]

By my understanding, after the translation, Enterbrain had a talk with the government and they let Don Miguel tanslate it. It's just my theory. Ask Izar, not me. I'm a user of the program, not a lawyer of it.

[Flamefire]

Cool program.
I'm enjoying it :silence:

[Mars Djinni]

Yeah, It's very good in my opinion. It's the only way I can make RPGs without the whole coding thing. The Sprites could use work, though the RPG Maker 2003 is the one I use, and some of the sprites aren't up to date. RPG Maker XP won't be my choice for a while as the translation is not much complete yet...Not to my liking, that is...

[Adam]

dude...just Google it. you'll find it in like 5sec.

[TheDogWho]

I found it at... well PM me. As it is kinda illegal.

Then what did Enterbrain gain by making everyone (INCLUDING Don Miguel) take the English version off their website? (Remember they "promised" to make an English version of RM2k3 if they did?)

[Ryu Zero]

Have you heard of Rpg Maker XP? It's a lot better.

RM2K3:

Less confusing / Easy to edit / Medium Graphics / Good Sound

RMXP:

More confusing / Hard to edit / Excellent Graphics / Excellent sound

[Mars Djinni]

I know Don Miguel Ttranslated RPG Maker 2000, but I have no idea who translated RPG Maker 2003.

[Venus_Man1]

I was playing around with RPGMakerXP and I didn't get a thing.

[Mars Djinni]

There are a few bugs in RPG Maker XP. When I wanted my character to walk out of a house, I couldn't make him teleport to another map. I can only make him move to another place in the same map. Correct me if I'm wrong...

[Venus_Man1]

Seriously, how do you do those kinds of stuff? When they're walking and everything.

[Ryu Zero]

Well, actually I uninstalled RMXP from my computer because it was too difficult to use. I re-installed Rm2k3 and one charset-creating program.

[Mars Djinni]

@ Ryu Zero: Hey, did you use Charas-Generator? Is that it? An amazing program, I'm tellin' you.

@ Venus_Man1: Just get the hang of it. I plan my serious projects before I code them and everything. I started out with RPGmaker 2000 - simple, basic, and all that. Tutorials on Switches and on Variables are a big yes because you're gonna rely on them for you're game.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to tell you the main controls.

Move up, left, right, down: arrow keys
Talk to People: Enter
Cancel/Menu: ESC and 0 on the numberpad

[Venus_Man1]

I see.... So I should start using another one I guess and then XP.

[Mars Djinni]

Yeah, I guess. RPG Maker 200 is a bit easier to use. That's my opinion, though.

[musicman2059]

I personally like RM2k3. If RMXP is really that hard then maybe it's safe to opt out of it. I thought they also should've kept the ATB DBS alongside the Front-view turn based DBS so that you could choose between the two.

RM2k3 is easy to manipulate to do what you want. I've created a simple CMS (just using the show choices command) that allows you to go to the party change system, or to the DMS. (In addition, I made the party change system display the stats of characters when you go up to them)

[Mars Djinni]

RPG Maker 2003 is my favourite in the sieries. I was able to make a lot of basic systems, too. I made time/date/wheather systems, Action Battle systems, etc. Yeah, It has a lot of good features.

[TheDogWho]

'Twould be nice if someone could PM me about a place where I could download XP...

[Omega]

I have RPG Maker XP! It's so incredibly detailed, the music isn't bad either. I have both RPG2k and RPG XP. Oh yeah here's a link to the site I got it off from. www.bur.st/~rpgxst (RPG Maker XP is what I'm making Omega Realm from.)

[Izar]

I don't like XP, It missed a bit of the features in the older makers. RM2k3 is my favorite, by far, the battle system rocks.

Wow, my topic revived! I'm So Happy! ^_^

BTW, I'm making some games with Rm2k and Rm2k3. You can check it out my site, I dare not post it! ^_^ Got resources too...

[Mars Djinni]

Ah, it's nice to see this topic again! I'm currently working on a project called Alchemysteria. I'm sticking to RM2K3 when it comes to developing the game. RPG Maker Xp wasn't really appealing to me

[Mallick]

It's nice to see this topic, yes. Under these circumstances, no. Most pointless revive...ever.

[Valistrix]

I'm making an RPG game called 'Pure Darkness' with RPG Maker XP. I might use RPG Maker 2003 instead and change the name, as 2003 has a little more features and is easier to use.

Also if I might add, with RPG Maker 2003, how do you make people speak, you know so at the bottom or top of the screen it shows thier face and what they are saying. It would be nice if I knew how do it for XP aswell but I need it for 2003 the most.

[Izar]

2003 works the same way as RPG Maker 2000 for the most part. You gotta right click when in event mode, and put Show Message or whatever it says in rpg maker 2003, been a while since I used it.

[Mars Djinni]

Oh, and I was wondering if there are any good tutorials on how to code a caterpillar system. I know how to do one similar to the one in "Jay's Journey" but I might be able to find another. Any suggestions?

[musicman2059]

I have RPXP, but my computer is so old that games run at 1/25th of the speed they're supposed to, and whoever cracked this thing must've been doing it in 1280x1024 because in 1024x768, the windows don't fit on the screen.

The music in the RTP is AWESOME, though. I've imported a bunch of them into RM2k3, too. (The format used in RMXP is a less-used MIDI format, so I didn't have to convert it or anything.)

[Mars Djinni]

When I had RMXP, It told me to switch my settings to 1280 x 1024 before booting up the program. (I use 800 x 600)

[musicman2059]

My graphics card, crap as it is, doesn't even support 1280x1024. The best I can do is 1024x768.

Still the actual game engine runs at a resolution of 1024x768.

[Mars Djinni]

I prefer the game screen not to be at full when I play. It gets a bit tricky Frequently turning the game on and off gets frustrating in fullscreen. I mean like when my brother needs it or my mom needs to check for a recipe on the internet.

[l3lueMage]

how do u make it so there is no white behind objects...IM NEW XD

[musicman2059]

Behind objects? Just place a land tile (one that fits with your map) on the lower layer behind the object.

[l3lueMage]

where are the doors for TOWN EXTERIOR in RPG maker XP

[Mars Djinni]

Just asking, when making your own sprites without iDraw, (MS Paint) what format should you save it to. It keeps screwing up the colours as a 24-bit bitmap and if I convert it to png. I need to make sure.
