Here's how it works: You can either ask a question, or answer one. NOTHING in between, except maybe a polite "Thank you."
To answer a question, here's what you do:
1. Hit the "Quote" button in the top of the post you are going to answer
2. Answer it
It's that easy. Why do we have people quote the question? Easy! That way people can very easily find out who's answering who, and even answer a question before the member posts it. Ask away!

Official RPG Maker FAQ
Thanks go to Twin Matrix for creating this FAQ

Q: How do I make Charasets and other images?
A: Get yourself a drawing program like MS Paint. I prefer Idraw. If you want to draw Charsets, you'll have to have a template. There is one here. But if you are drawing Charasets, use IDRAW! It is very easy to get the background as Transparent Color with it. Download it here. Idraw works for almost everything if you want to make the background transparent (Except RPGMaker XP).

Q: How do I make teleport events with RM2k3 and RM2?
A: For RM2k3, right-click on the map and select Create Teleport Event. For RM2000 you create a new event. Then select Teleport from the events window and continue. You can select the place that you want as target location for the teleportation.

Q: How exactly do you make a Teleport Event for RPGMaker XP?
A: First create a new event. Now select Prepare Transition from the Event Commands menu. Now select Teleport, choose the destination and set Fading to None. After this select Excecute Transition from the Event Commands menu. This will show a complete Teleport with Transition and all.

Q: Why won't RPGMaker (2000/2K3) load my images?
A: You need to have it Indexed Color. This means no RGB colors, only 256.

Q: In RPG2K, how do you make an event dissapear after it has happened?
A: Switches are an option. Create a new page for the event and make it empty with as Switch (Left-Top Corner) the Switch you want to have it diactivate. Now on the main event's page, set it at the end to turn on that switch. This will stop the event.

Q: How do I set the starting location of the Party/Heroes?
A: Right-click on the map and select Party Starting Location.

Q: How do I get an event to help after the time is up?
A: Make a new event called "timer", or something. Set it to start with whatever switch, and have it be:
Timer: [time]
Set switch: #: Time, ON
Erase event
Then make the other event. Set it to start with the switch.

Q: How do I change the default music for battles and other things?
A: Set Change System BGM in the events menu.

Q: In RPGMaker 2K3, how do you make your character jump by pressing a button?
A: Look at the Tutorial Section under Jumping.

Q: How do I make a Custom Menu?
A: Look at the Tutorial Section under Custom Menu.

Q: Where do I get RPGMaker 2000/2003/XP?
A: Look at the RPG Forum Rules here.

Q: How do you make non-player characters move around in RPGM2k3?
A: Make an Event and set a Custom Route or Random at the bottom-left corner.

Q: I'm using RPGMaker2k and I was wondering...can I easilly upgrade to RPGMaker2k3? If so, how?
A: No, you can't. RPGMaker2k uses a very different system, so you can't put your RM2k game into the RM2k3 one and visa versa.

Q: I need personal help! To who do I send my question?
A: The people who are great with RPGMaker and willing to help anyone with questions are: Golden Kanohi, Twin Matrix, nuts about bionicle and -Rokonuva-.

Q: How do you make it so you are the only character in the party?
A: Go to "System" and it should have four boxes in a category called "Starting Party". If you want one person only, make the second one say "none" and set the other box with that person.

Q: How do you cover the unwanted sea with black tiles?
A: Use the tile at the bottom-right corner of the first-layer Tileset. This will show the Panorama. If you leave the Panorama black, it will show it black instead of sea.

Q: How do use characters other than the ones built in?
A: Simple, you edit a character's info in the database. If you mean "add more characters," then you edit the array size, at the bottom left of the screen.

Q: What is RTP?
A: RTP is a simple name for pre-made graphics for an RPGMaker. RPGMaker XP, for example, has an RTP with lots of pre-made graphics so you are ready to build a game once you install the RTP and the Program.

Q: How do I make an stopped event have a walking animation in RMXP?
A: Make a new event and enable (Check) the Stopped Animation in the bottom-left corner of the Event properties.

Q: How do I make Colors, Sizes and other things in Messages with RMXP?
A: Check out the "Custom Message" part in the Tutorial section.

Q: Am I able to create advanced Panoramas or Fog effects?
A: Create an event. You can make it an Auto Event if you want. Make a second page for this event and have it be activated by a switch. Go back to the first page of the event. Insert Change Map Settings with the Fog of your choice. Now select Change Fog Opacity to make the Fog visible. Don't be fooled by the name though. This function can be used to make clouds, water or anything else. You can also change the color of the Fog with Tint Fog. At the end of the event have it put the switch used to activate the second Page ON.

Q: How do I have an Auto Event/Parallel Process stop without freezing the game or repeating?
A: Create a new page with Action Key activation instead of Auto Start or Parallel Process in this event and select a Switch for it. At the end of the main Auto Event's page (Or Parallel Process) have it put the Switch ON that activates the new, empty page that you just created.

Q: How does the Key Input System works in RMXP?
A: Check out the Jumping Tutorial.

Q: Ruby? What the heck is Ruby Scripting? How does it work?!
A: Check out this. It explains allot about Ruby.

Tutorial 1: Custom Messages for RMXP

This script modifies the Window_Message class to allow for more text commands to be used in messages. This is a list of all the text commands supported by this script. To use the script, simply overwrite the "Window_Message" class with the one provided below.

\a[n] : Automatically closes the message box after n frames.
\b: Banner mode. The text is centered both horizontally and vertically within the window. Can't be used with other tags and works with only one line of text.
\c[n] Changes to one of the eight pre-defined colors. Use \d or \c[0] to change back to the default color.
\d: Returns the font, font size, font color, and line height to default.
\f[n] : Changes the font to font n in a set of pre-defined fonts. Use \d or \f[x], where x is the number of the default font, to return to the default.
\g : Shows a window showing how much money you have.
\h[n] : Changes the line height to n. Useful if you want to show very large text without it clipping vertically. Use \d or \h[32] to return the line height to default.
\i[n] : Shows the icon and item name of the item with ID n
\j[n] : Puts n pixels of whitespace at the current position within the message. Useful if you want precise spacing rather than relying on the font's space length.
\k[n] : Shows the icon and skill name of the skill with ID n.
\m[n] : Shows the icon and armor name of the armor with ID n.
\n[n] : Shows the name of the hero with ID n.
\o[n] : The alpha of the window text is n for this message.
\r: Right-justifies the text on this line. Must be the first thing in the line. \s[n] : Changes the font size to n pixels high.
\v[n] : Displays the value of the variable with ID n.
\w[n] : Shows the icon and weapon name of the weapon with ID n.
\x: Centers the text on this line. Must be the first thing in the line.
\\ : Prints the "\" character.

With the release version, this script has a bug when using the letter "j" with some of these custom text commands. You need to download the update to RGSS100J.dll in order to remedy this problem.

Tutorial 2: Jumping for RM2000, RM2k3 and RMXP

This Code allows the hero jump for RM2000 and RM2k3. Create a Paralell Process Common Event. Set these Commands in RM2k3:

CODE

<>Branch if Switch [0067:JumpingDisallowed] is OFF
<>Key Input Proc: [0037:KeyInput]
<>Move Event: Hero, Begin Jump, Move Forward, Move Forward, End Jump
<>
: Else Handler
<>
: End
<>

To create the Key Input Proc Command, open the Event Commands window and select Key Input Processing. Store the Key Code in 0037, Key Input. Select "Wait Until Key Pressed". The Key to Process should be the Shift Button only. For the RM2000 Version, it is slightly different:

CODE

<>FORK Optn:Switch [0003:JumpingDisallowed] - OFF
<>Enter Password:[001]
<>Move Event...: Hero, Start Jump, Forward, Forward, End Jump
<>
: ELSE Case
<>
:END Case
<>

To create the Enter Password Command open the Event Command window and select Enter Password. Set the Variable to whatever you like. I just used 001 for this Tutorial. Enable "Wait Untill Key Hit" and set Input Passable Key to the Cancel Key only.

For RMXP it is also slightly different. The Key Input Command is now changed, and you don't see what key gets you what number. Here's a full list of Key Input Code Keys.

Down Arrow is 2
Left Arrow is 4
Right Arrow is 6
Up Arrow is 8
Shift is 11
Enter is 13
W is 18
D is 16
A is 14
S is 15
D is 16
Q is 17
X is 12
Space is 13

Don't forget to press F1 to see what button goes to what.

First you put the Key Input Processing line of code in so it looks like:

CODE

<>Key Input Processing: [0001]
<>

Afterwards, you put in a Conditional Branch and set it to Variable 0001, and then put in a value, such as 13.

CODE

<>Key Input Processing: [0001]
<>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: SAMPLE] == 13
<>Message: This is what happens when you press Enter.
<>
: Else Handler
<>Message: This is what happens when you don't press Enter.
<>
: End
<>

Use these methods to create your own Custom Abilities like Running.

I believe there is a certain file that must be moved somewhere. Chack the readme. If that doesn't work, reinstall it.

It might also be a broken download. You might have to find another site to download and reinstall it from.

I think the extraction file that would tell me if the file was corrupt ( it usually does).

Here's how it works: You can either ask a question, or answer one. NOTHING in between, except maybe a polite "Thank you."
To answer a question, here's what you do:
1. Hit the "Quote" button in the top of the post you are going to answer
2. Answer it
It's that easy. Why do we have people quote the question? Easy! That way people can very easily find out who's answering who, and even answer a question before the member posts it. Ask away!

where do you get it??

I guess this means that RPG Maker 95 onl;y works on Windows 95 and 98 (which is what I have). RTP for RPG Maker 2000 won't work on my comp. so I guess it's just for Windows 2000. You should try that instead!

Thanks, off to find RPG Maker 2000.

Then again I guess I'll just use RPG Toolkit for now.

Stone Champion Nuva Group: Outstanding BZPower Citizens Posts: 1589 Joined: 1-December 02 Member No.: 2922	You have to make the place the character enters the hut a teleport spot. Then you have to create a small sub-area (which will be the inside of the hut) and put a teleport there so that he can walk in and out of the hut! -P.S.-Make sure you link those two teleports together so that you don't get teleported to some random place in space! -------------------- CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY MY SIG IS GONE!!

Then, set it on "Level with Character" and "On contact". Then in the white field to the right, double-click and pick the teleport event and link the teleport with the area you created for the inside of the hut. -Hope this answers your question! -------------------- CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY MY SIG IS GONE!!

Well, first, RPG stands for Role-Playing Game. This forum was created for people to show off the RPGs that they made. If you look at the topics in this forum, you will find links to many RPGs that people have made. If you want to make your own RPG, though, you may want to look into RPG-making programs like RPG Maker 95 and RPG Maker 2000. PM me if you need any more help or info!
