A Few Questions [VX Ace]
Well, I've been attempting to learn VX Ace and have been studying tutorials, doing some hands-on messing around with stuff to see how things work, and attempting to learn Ruby 1.9.
As I'm not technically working on something to actually release yet but am just trying to better my skills beforehand, there's been nagging issue (Question 1) that I have no clue about and can't find any real information about online. I probably just missed something but...
1) How the hell do you use midis in VX Ace? I see the option to initialize at startup but you can't import them. I did read somewhere:
Apparently that works, which I'm guessing I have to edit the midi in Anvil Studio or some other midi editing software? That kind of lost me.
Are there any other options to using midis in Ace? Not that I'm choosing midi over ogg - just want to know how to do it, just in case.
2) When it comes to mapping, which is more preferred or looks better: A map that has grass/sand/snow/etc. edges or ones where it has paths leading to an exit where the edges of the map are "blocked off" by trees/blackness/cliffs/etc. or a mixture of the two to make it seem more "realistic"? If that made sense.
3) What is the best way to memorize Ruby? Or rather how did you learn how to script? I want to (someday) be able to create my own custom scripts but it seems like something that would take me years to memorize, looking at the programmer's guide. I just want to know what methods would make it a bit easier to learn.
-----
I'll use this topic to post any further questions I may have as I experiment.

Make sure that you insert this at the beginning of music.
Edit > insert midi event > check "include all controler event" > choose "Tempo(BPM)" > insert your tempo > ok
then try to play in Ace
Btw, I'm using Anvil Studio 2011.

Used to be a Lurker
I've been a lurker around here and many other RM sites for a really long time. Just now decided to join up though as I want to immerse myself into the community aspects. Another reason being that I've finally gathered the willpower to actually start learning to make a game rather than just playing them all. I may have had an account here in the past. I forget.
Anyhowwwwwww. A bit about myself... My name is William.
I'm a big fan of the shows Doctor Who, Torchwood (Minus Miracle Day), Spartacus, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and so forth.
Regarding movies, there aren't really many that I enjoy tremendously but I do like stuff like Battle Royale and Ichi the Killer.
My favorite band is Kamelot (closely followed by Tool), although I'll listen to nearly anything.
I do enjoy anime and manga, particularly ones with a horror/psychological aspect to them. Mirai Nikki, Gantz, Elfen Lied, Death Note, Guilty Crown, Claymore, King of Thorns - to name a few.
Gaming... I'm more of an old-school 2D turn-based RPG fan than anything else but I do like first-person shooters as well. Suikoden II, Xenogears, Persona 2, Shadow Hearts 2, Star Ocean 2, Tales of Phantasia, FFVI - few of the top of my list.
Some of my favorite RM games are Star-Stealing Prince, A Blurred Line, Zephyrus and the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Legion Saga series. Bear in mind that I still have a good 100+ of them on my HD that I still have yet to play or finish.
.... And now you're done reading my autobiography. Lol. Ah well, figured I'd actually give a proper intro. I hope to make a few friends along the way and eventually settle in to contributing to this fine place. =x
