THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH 2K3 VERSION IS OUT!

Posts

Good news. Another proof that 2k3 was never a dead engine.

I'm wondering though if it's worth the trouble to go commercial with full custom assets now when you could do that in a better engine instead.
And are there enough buyers out there interested in paying for 2k3 games?


^That pic is proof right there that RPG Maker 2003 released in 2002, right before the New Year.

Wonder what I can bring out of the woodwork for release? But yeah, if you had asked me in December 2002 if I would be using RPG Maker 2003 in 2015, I'd probably have given you a look.

Supposedly, we're getting RPG Maker 2000 as well. Look closely at the charaset sharing portion of the video. It says *2K*, 2K3, XP, and VX(Ace). Finally, there's supposed to be an RPG Maker ?? (name not finalized) the middle of this year. Could mean Japan gets it in July and the rest of the world late summer, or... could it be a worldwide simultaneous release? (Technically, this is a worldwide simultaneous re-release)
Could someone post the full changelog of EVERYTHING past RM2k3 v1.08, including v1.09 and anything else before this newest Steam version?
Version 1.09 (January 14, 2004)

Bug Fixes:

- When magic is reflected by a character with the "reflect" condition, the problem where the proper battle animation would sometimes not play on the new target was corrected.

- The problem where damage indication would occur on the fifth frame of the animation when using an item that mimics a skill was corrected.

- The problem where "Enable Combo" would not stick after certain battle events were executed was fixed.

- The problem where repeatedly changing class would cause the character's stats to drop regardless of class settings was fixed.

- The problem where weapon animation was slow or nonexistant in the weapon animation settings screen was corrected.

- The problem where the stat bonuses from some equipment would persist after changing class when that equipment was unequipped was fixed.


1.09 has been around for a while, but was never widely used. Power Mode 2oo3 was one of the only patches that used it I think.

This version is 1.10, and cherry posted the changelog in the first post here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sXlXZIXdjxVq5gh_lPFuFLMbMRzZe4BKPpRI13ZD2Qc/edit?usp=sharing

@reflect bug: Unfortunately, it was *not* fixed in 1.09a. It will reflect on the correct member now, but only if the heroes in the party are exactly actors #1, #2, #3, #4 from the database, otherwise the game might even crash. This will be finally fixed in 1.11.

And the faster loading time was only refering to *events*, not to the database itself.
Playing my old 2k3 games again, seeing how well it works in the new engine, and discovered a fun rm2k3 fact I never knew:
\\N[2].
Will display actor 2's name... but consume the first character in it! I'd assume it's being consumed by the first backslash and becoming a special character in memory. Oh silly little bugs~


e: In Terms -> Glossary 1 -> Money Obtains is adding a space between Unit and the last term. I just have it as "Got (X)(Unit)!" but in game it comes up as "Got X maddollabillz !". There's no tailing space in the maddollabillz in my money term though. Is there something that can be done about that so there's no space?
Hm, I went and added those spaces everywhere because I thought it was a strange JP leftover that there were no spaces. Seems like I was dumb. :(
I just want to thank the entire team. Thank you for sticking by everyone.

I'll have to install Steam... Not fond of that, but, it's for Enterbrain's health.

Congratulations again.

(super minor nobody gives a shit bug: when you make a new project and test play without setting a start location it gives an error that it can't find Map0006.lmu instead of no starting location. Also Fey-Lin's default walking graphic is blank, I'm guessing it's looking for a file that's been renamed).

Also if there is a game make event with rm/t2k3 can we get a special rule that we can use the 2k rtp because holy christ I forgot how terrifying the 2k3 rtp faces are.
guys

i'm dreaming

i must be

Thank you so much to Nessiah and Cherry for bringing this back. The game make in me is totally rekindled. Though I have to admit, some of the plug-ins I had with DynRPG were really useful... Like the game time on the menu, skipping the title screen (which I know is getting added back in).

I do have a question about commercialising a project and editing the RPG_RT.exe. SW uses a custom EXFONT which gets put into the .exe using a HEX editor or similar program. I was wondering if replacing the default EXFONT that 2k3 gives games for that particular .exe was against EULA. Like would I not be able to monetise a game made with 2k3 if I change the EXFONT?
It's not against the EULA anymore. You are not allowed to disassemble the file, but using a tool which replaces stuff is OK.

trance2 i think i'm the one dreaming since you are here (that sounded way more romantic than it is)

next thing we know neophyte will post in this topic

wow i miss neophyte
*holds mouth shut*

...Okay... this whole having the battle events on the common events thing... that just may be the greatest thing that was updated to rm2k3... it'll make managing battle events 10x easier this way too....

this requires a LOT more experimenting...

God damn it, I made it clear that I was done with 2k3 for the time being and now here I am going back to the damn thing. Ha ha ha.

EDIT: Also, holy crap Trance, where've ya been man!?

This is all the reaction I need.

It's too late for me, but this is still very cool. I bought it just to support the fact that it exists, but I dunno if I'll actually seriously use it.

Yeah, to be honest, I'm already too corrupted by vx ace to want to go back, but I AM sorta entertaining the idea of ripping out and replacing all the ripped resources in that one game of mine and dropping it onto steam.

(Whether steam takes it or not is another story)

Yeah this news is blowing my mind still, I'm honestly smiling. Now I just gotta remember my fucking Steam account stuff.

I think I might try this old gal out one more time.

Edit - So when's this gonna be added to the RMN store?
