ooooo I love rpg maker - this looks fun :)

Yeah it is. But VX makes it more like RPGM 200-2003 and makes mapping simpler.

seems pretty nice

Hoi, looks great, RTmon. Me wanna know how will it come out :o

nice map

Thank you very much.

i use to use that system so much.. I love hte Postality knights edition

That there is pretty good mapping!

I can do dungeons,but I can never seem to do forests or over-worlds very well.....

Well there are some really good ones but i find they overdid it in the forest department.

Nice work buddy, i like it a lot

looks cool. tried rpgmaker 2k and 2k3 along time ago.

Speaking of which i have converted quite a bit of 2K, 2K3 stuff to XP.

good place for 2k and 2k3 stuff if you need more stuff to convert

Ah i know of that site and i converted quite a bit. problem is the animations are going to require another converter.

well probably googlesearch rpgmaker xp sprite maker and you might find something more tuned towards it. Not many sites wanted much to do with the xp version. dunno if thats changed. havent looked into any of it for awhile.

Well techincally yes since We there is VX which works on Vista.

Did you ever finish this? I've just dove into VX Ace and wondering what its all about, any good or is it crap.
I don't know enough about ither to determine this myself though lol

For now I do love how easy it is to get just the barebasics out. I've only had it for 4 days and have already logged more than 30hrs into it XD

Not yet i am still working on it when i have the time though there are videos of it on my youtube channel.

Oh and VXAce it's a pretty good program currently with a lot of features namely some of the things that were in XP as well as new features. So far it's pretty good working on and off on a project as well as practice on it.

I've found that the only thing I loath about these programs are their blocky nature though its being solved now that I know how to make a custom parallax, I should be able to make something similar to the stunning visuals of Golden Sun.

I'm now stuck with some sprite issues though, mainly with the battle (can't seem to achieve the side view or the qtr view like Golden Sun) and 8way movement with the proper sprite animations for the diagonal movement

It seems that VX Ace is limited to 12 slots to a sprite when you'd need an additional 8 or so for the diagonal alone. Have ye run into this issue as well?


What's your tube channel? I'd like to see your projects :)

I don't promote my youtube channel though i prefer the old fashioned way slow and steady.

VX and VXAce are blocky though it takes a while to get used to it. if you want less blocky stuff XP would be better for that. Though i would not be surprised if someone converted the XP tilesets for VXAce.
The default battle system is always turn based. You need a script for a side view battle system.

I have not run into that issues since i am so used to the four directional movement diagonal movement is tricky even with a custom sprite though it is possible.

And my youtube channel is RTDArtist. I really need to get back to making videos of my progress as well as some very old project demos I only have one submitted so far.
