QUOTE (bhavin @ Apr 9 2003, 08:18 PM) hey you guys i`ve had rpg maker 2003 for 5 or 6 days. i figured out alot about it just tinkering around. and you can ask questions if you like.ill try to see if i can answer them.and i also have a few questions where do you get bionicle battle sprites.and some times i try to import bionicle monster battle sprites. but they just said the sprites were too big.how do you make them smaller. I think it means the file size and that you can just paste the file to the section where it keeps the game stuff. Example: C:/downloads/rpgmaker2003/charset Then it should find it in the resource manager automatically.

I wouldn't suggest that, it may mess up your game if you
force a file into it. Try opening up the picture in Paint, use the Crop
tool to select all, the right click, and select Stretch Skew. Try different
stuff, like halving its size by, (on the selection of stretch) set it to 50%
on Length and width.

[Huarri]

also how do you place in battles? i can not work this out.
pleeeez help!

[Twin Matrix]

I have one question: You can make triggers in battles like if a specific monster is killed something happens. But can you also make a trigger that is triggered when you win the battle? I cannot figure this out.

Thank You

[Takua the Chroni...]

yeah and how do you make monsters be around

[XK Nuva]

Woah! We've got a lot of questions here!

QUOTE

You can find lots of charasets and stuff here. To make stuff solid, you first must enter the editing mode which is the third button at the top that has a little mouse symbol on it. When you enter that mode, right-click on the object that you want to make solid, and choose New Event. From there, go near the bottom to where it says Event Layer, open the box, and choose Same Layer as hero.

Okay, at the top of the program, go under Tools and choose Resource Manager. Then choose CharSet and click on import. Go to where the file is, click on it, and presto! Then go to Tools and click on Database. There you can change the sprite to a Bionicle one. You can also do this for the FaceSet and the Battle Sprites (BattleChar). You may want to get some charasets from the link I put above to use unless you want to make your own.

What do you mean? Killing the monsters is the same as winning the battle..... There's something you can do, though. In the events page where you set the battle to occur, right before "Enemy Encounter", have the system change a switch so that a certain thing happens after you get out of the battle.

QUOTE

yeah and how do you make monsters be around

In edit mode, right-click on the space where you want the monster to appear and click New Event. Then, in the chart over to the right, double-click on the little symbol and then choose enemy encounter from the list of possible events. Then just specify the battle conditions and press OK.

Do you mean like a house or hut from the village?
If so then you just use the chipset to place the walls and that should have a door and finally if you want a hut you most likely will need a specialized chipset.

A few things, how do you get the character name typing thingy in english. Also I want to make my own MIDI files to import into the game. Where can I find a sythenizer and how would I import them?

Thanks in advance!

The ccharacter name should already be in english, check the read-me. To import files go to the recource manager and import. Sorry, I have no idea where to gind a synthenizer.

ok, I'm gonna be saying this for if you where in the Monster Party editor,
and you have 2 enemies. Make page where if Monster1's Hp drops to
0, that'll activate a switch (lets call it Monster1Dead) Then make another
page, do the some thing as the last page, but with the second monster.
Make a third page, and set its Activation requirments to
Swicth:
Monster1Dead--on
Monster2Dead--on

then do whatever you want on this page.

To get from one map to another, all you have to do is click on the map that you want to go to and to make houses all you have to do is place the house pieces from the tileset any where you want.

Expanding on that, if you want to go into the houses you must make a new map and put a teleport in-front of the house and in the house.

[Rama~Swarm]

Is there any wat to stop an enemy monster from attacking you while your deciding what to do?
ex:the carricter is n battle and he is picking wich magic to use, but efore he does anything the cracken attacks him.

I know that sounds kinda weird, but what i mean is the monster is useing attacks when im picking what magic to use.In RM2K it would only be able to attack you if you had chosen your attacks.

It's kinda more of a time thing, so I'm not sure it can be entirely helped. You might want to poke around with the battle settings, though. It might solve your problems.

[Emzee]

Here's a problem.

When I test my game, when battling, periodically it stops and says

QUOTE

event referecnced a battle animation that does not exist

I chaeck the battle anaimations everything in which the "events" use are in there.

How can I fix this?

[Hawko]

o.k let's phrase it different.
How do I make hut maps or mini maps or sub-map areas?

[Kanohi Akaku]

You know how on the map screen, there is a white box on the left which says 'World Map' at the top? This is a list of every map you have in your game. To make a new map, right click on the text or icon of World Map and select what you need ('New Map' maked a brand new world map type area on the list, wheras 'Child Map' makes a map related to whichever map you right clicked on- like making a file (chil;d map) in a folder (world map)). It sounds complicated I know, but experiment and you'll get the hang of it.

Anyway, to make the interior of a hut, make a child map about 20 tiles wide and 15 high. Draw the inside of the hut, but make it obvious where the doorway is. Make an event on this doorway, which executes on contact, and teleports the hero to the exterior of the hut on your other map. Make an event doing the same on the main map, only teleporting to the interior. And there you go!

If you need any more help, feel free to PM me and I'll help in any way that I can.

how can you change your characters fom once being a matoran to suddenly a toa nuva

[XK Nuva]

QUOTE (Stitch @ Apr 23 2003, 07:47 AM)

First you must create the matoran and the Toa Nuva it will transform into on the Database. Then you must create an event. Under the event commands, there should be a command where you can transform one hero into another. Have the matoran then turn into the Toa Nuva.

I want RPG95, but when I click the link to download it, it says "Page not Found"! Can somebody give me more links?

Does anyone know how to code it so that the battle animations show you holding your current weapon the whole time, instead of those cheap RTP ones, which only show when you attack?

To do that, you're gonna have to fool around with the battlechar or make a completely new one! You'll have to change their standing position to a position where they're holding a sword as well.

No, you can't start text RPG's at all in this forum, and you do not need RPG maker to make one. Only Mods can make text rpgs in this. You can host a downloadable text rpg by using a program (www.download.com is the place to look). Try using EZboards to make one.
