SEGNIN'S PROFILE

author=RipVanWinkleX
Hi, I just find this forum/topic. YEARS ago I remember first using rpg maker 95 and I have been trying to find a game that I remember playing/editing.

I edited it to learn more about the problem (never released it, it was for myself), I just want to see the old game and see if it was ever finished.

I can't remember the name or the story so it is most likely a long shot that I ever find it, more so if anyone knows about it.

I remember finding it on the free website builders like angelfire. I believe the cast is all woman, but I can't remember if there was a guy or not. The main character was certainly a woman. The beginning of the game you go to a cave to find something, medicine?, and the boss was a gargoyle. I know the game had a serous tone and it only used the rtp. I do remember escaping from a castle later.

But that's all I know :P If anyone has any idea what it could be please post. I will try to find the game though your suggestion, because I can not remember the name of it.

This site has every RM95 game that hasn't disappeared forever yet:
http://www.vizzed.com/RPGMaker95/

That site has a rather creative, video game inspired setup, so to get the games, do this:
Click on the town map, then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move your character up into the top middle building.
Then click on the arcade map, and use arrow keys to move character up to the arcade machine in the middle.
Then click on the names of each game entry to bring up its download link.

If you don't find your game there, if you can remember the game's web sites's url, you can check to see if the site (and possibly the game itself) might have been archived by the Wayback Machine.

After downloading & adding to the Music folder the mp3s in the following packs:
Beta5+ Music
Expansion Music
Updated Music (for Update Patch 1.100)
Vanilla Music

RMTool lists these as missing:

Music file "Faith is for the Transient People (Sound Sepher)"
Music file "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion (Orchestral)"
Music file "Strawberry Crisis!! <gibberish>"
Music file "Dark Side of Fate (dBu)"
Music file "Native Faith (dBu)"
Music file "Septette for the Dead Princess (UI-70)"
Music file "Selection (mochiton)"
Music file "Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke (dBu)"
Music file "Necro-Fantasy (Neutral)"
Music file "Touhou Gensoumaroku <gibberish> Devil of Decline - Boss 4 - OUT"
Music file "Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being (Gensoumaroku)"
Music file "The Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum (Armageddon Records)"
Music file "<gibberish> Phantasia of Fantasy (Rin Satsuki's Theme #2)"
Music file "Touhou Pocket Wars 2nd Ibaraki Kasen 's Theme"
Music file "Legend of the Great Gods (dBu)"
Music file "Old Yuanxian (dBu)"
Music file "The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (FMWS)"

*****************************************************************************

However 2 of them are not missing, they just aren't being recognized because of their Japanese characters:

Strawberry Crisis!! (マドレーヌ).mp3
Touhou Gensoumaroku 東方 東方幻想魔録 Devil of Decline - Boss 4 - OUT.mp3

The 3rd one that you mentioned, 花鳥風月は彷徨い歩く～Phantasia of Fantasy (Rin Satsuki's Theme #2).mp3 is missing, but I found it in an older version of Touhou Fantasy, the Beta 4 version which I still had.

*****************************************************************************

These 3 mp3s with the Japanese characters are used on the following maps and events (according to RMTool)

Strawberry Crisis!! (マドレーヌ).mp3 used in 3 places:
Common Event Database: Entry 1410
Event: Beta5 Music Room at (10,20) page 1
Event: Party Switch Area at (28,13) page 2

Touhou Gensoumaroku 東方 東方幻想魔録 Devil of Decline - Boss 4 - OUT.mp3 used in 3 places:
Event: Beta4 Music Room at (4,16) page 1
Event: Insect Forest 10 at (9,1) page 1
Event: Insect Forest 10 at (9,1) page 1
(This means it was used twice during the same page of the same event on the same map)

花鳥風月は彷徨い歩く～Phantasia of Fantasy (Rin Satsuki's Theme #2).mp3 used in 1 place:
Event: Beta8 Music Room at (2,12) page 1

So, if you rename these 3, you'll have to edit those events and database entries to find & play the renamed mp3s.

*****************************************************************************

Looking through the the list of missing mp3s, it seems that some of them are included but with changed names:

For example:
Faith is for the Transient People (Sound Sepher).mp3 == Faith is for the Transient People (Jun. A).mp3

But you can't just rename this mp3 because both names are used in-game:






Of course, you can just copy the mp3, then rename one so you'll have two mp3s with
different names, but since they both have the same song, that's just wasting space and making the game even larger then it needs to be.

There's a few others like this, here's the rest:

Missing Mp3 ==
Included Duplicate with Different Name

Dark Side of Fate (dBu).mp3 ==
Dark Side of Fate.mp3

Faith is for the Transient People (Sound Sepher).mp3 ==
Faith is for the Transient People (Jun. A)

Native Faith (dBu).mp3 ==
Native Faith.mp3

Septette for the Dead Princess (UI-70).mp3 ==
Septette for a Dead Princess 2.mp3

*****************************************************************************

These 2 mp3s can just be renamed as only the correct name is used in the game

Correct Name ==
Incorrect Name

Legend of the Great Gods (dBu).mp3 ==
08- 大神大神話伝.mp3

Old Yuanxian (dBu).mp3 ==
07- 古き妖仙 ～ Master and Servant.mp3

*****************************************************************************

Which means these are the ones that actually are missing, though they may have been included with older versions of Touhou Fantasy:

Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being (Gensoumaroku).mp3
Necro-Fantasy (Neutral).mp3
Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke (dBu).mp3
Selection (mochiton).mp3
Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion (Orchestral).mp3
The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (FMWS).mp3
The Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum (Armageddon Records).mp3
Touhou Pocket Wars 2nd Ibaraki Kasen 's Theme.mp3
花鳥風月は彷徨い歩く～Phantasia of Fantasy (Rin Satsuki's Theme #2).mp3

If you need RMTool, I have the latest version stored in my RMN locker:
http://rpgmaker.net/users/SegNin/locker/RMTool_Pack.zip

If you decide to use RMTool, don't use the Purge function. It's supposed to delete all the unused files, but RMTool is somewhat buggy, so it'll probably delete a few files that are needed.

Btw, after adding all the mp3s (including the missing ones I found either in my old Beta4 copy or on YouTube) my copy of the game comes to 1.4 GB rared.
And I even removed the thumbs.db and RTP files (since I already have the RTP) to shrink it down a bit.

Well, you could always design another game in a C64 palette, or make a sequel, or a deluxe version later on, or something. I just think that you should see it through to the end, really. Worrying about pleasing everyone isn't the way to go with a singular project, just worry about your core demographic.

Agreed.

The problem isn't even that it's in black and white.
The problem is that the black and white is too bright.
It creates this flickering effect when you move the images (try scrolling one of the game's screenshots up and down in your browser, and you'll see what I mean)

So, reduce the brightness and that should solve the problem.

In light of recent events, explosions have become worrisome.

Request time for me too.

Anyone have it?
If so, could you please upload it to anyplace other than MediaFire?
Because MediaFire will delete it immediately because the game contains commercial mp3s (rap songs).
