WHY DON'T WE USE EXES

Yes it does seem that rpg make has problems with fonts sometimes. I've installed a font patch and mine looks very nice when I test play. When testers have installed the .exe I give them, the font has come across too, which is nice. It's probably one that Microsoft already comes with as standard.

I'd like to try downloading this .exe making program that you spoke about so that people who don't automatically have the font won't get stuck with that horrible block one. I'm also interested to know how people manage to give their games their own .ico files. I can make icons but I don't know ow to make rpg maker display them instead of the RPG_RT graphic of the guy with the sword.

Is the 3D guy unable to render image sequences or something? you can also use show picture with wait commands inbetween to animate at any size.

He can render pictures but then there would be millions of pictures and the event string would be miles long. The opening cinematic is pretty long and it has sound effects, etc...dong it as pictures or battle animations would just be a nightmare for two people who are used to video editing software and 3D modeling.

The rest of the cinematics are only 3-4 seconds long so they could be done as a series of pictures, I expect. But why bother since the .avi files will only be 6 meg or so anyway.

AH, yes. They could conceivably become a series of pictures. That might save a few meg.
