CloseOhhhh, okay. Cool that all that has worked so far, that looks like a ton of stuff.
What is the thing that is taking the longest (besides people asking you questions)? Are you retooling the battle system, or is it just stuff like speed of operation, storage, that sort of thing?

Only small changes. The battle system is a giant mess and I don't want to mess (^^) with it because it *will* bite me. I know it.
@all:
I've been getting lots of "thank you Cherry" mails/messages recently. I hope you also thanked Archeia. While I helped out technically, she did a very hard job translating this thing (and be haunted by bugs and issues coming up again and again), not to mention that without her setting the course, nothing would have been released at all.
(In my initial sentence of this thread, Archeia was included in "Degica".)

The RPG2003 battle system has always been a problem especially when the ATB does not work as intended, I can understand your pain on it. I wish you luck. Thanks Cherry for this big update.
One could say this is precisely why it needs to be fixed. To make it faster, more customizable, and above all less glitchy.
There are two distinct things that are very screwed up with the battle system.
In short, I know firsthand just how giant a mess it is. Small changes can add up. Thank you Cherry (I haven't even used it yet)!
There are two distinct things that are very screwed up with the battle system.
- One, if you make turn-based systems using variables (rather than plugins, although this is a joy as well), it can potentially freeze.
- Two, in the above mentioned turn-based code I have made, I tried to make it hold off turns until the party acted. Instead, the monster party cycled through turns 7 or 8 times a second, making conditions like poison, suddenly high speed drain. Status effects need to handled differently, particularly with regard to not conflicting with turns, and not activating hp/mp drain/restore until after characters have ended their turns.

Cherry, Kentona answered for me in regard to the resolution, but for your reference I never had a problem with the hammer punch look. In truth that style is part and parcel of my memories of games made in the engine. I just wish there was an option to expanded the window to cover the fullscreen but as borderless. Which I think would also fix the alt-tab issue since windows would then treat it as just another window rather than the exclusive mode which means Windows will still render the desktop in the background.
Thanks for being so responsive, but then given the dedication this engine has engendered amongst it's fans I'm sure you expected something of this nature.

It's not in exclusive mode anymore, the alt-tab issue has a different cause, namely the game window being topmost (so that Skype/Steam/balloontips won't pop up above, or traybar icons flicker around - which happened to me in other games) and me forgetting that Alt+Tab exists and therefore I have to monitor it and change the topmost mode if needed.
Ah, I see. Not something that tends to affect me since I don't Steam, rarely Skype and have long ago turned off all balloontips, but everyone sets up their environment the way they want so I know those things can be an issue.
Thanks for being on top of it, and given your and Nessy's workload in regard to this, missing something or other is to be expected.

I bought myself a copy the other night in a not-at-all transparent attempt to ease the sense of guilt I've had from abusing the pirated copy over the years.
I've had a quick look at the application and it all looks really good in my opinion. Excellent job :).
I'm not planning on having kids myself so therefore after much negotiation I can promise that I will make my friend name their first born child after anyone who can find a way to get rid of that row command!

Awesome. With this, RPG Maker 2003 will probably take the world by storm again (overthrowing VX Ace ~ ~)
Although I think it's just a FEW years too late for much hooplah around this, it's nice to have. I wish that the ATB was fixed just a little more so the enemies don't all act at the same time; that would make so many games playable.
Still gonna throw the updated .exe in a few games and check things out.

H-holy moly... Knight 2k3 confirmed?? I'd sign that check and cash it.
Well, I just finished "exporting" my game to the official version. So far, so good. I'm not experiencing any issues whatsoever.
I LOVE how the script colors show different in order to match XV Ace's style, its so much easier now.
I read some of the comments in this thread, not all. In my opinion, there's no reason for not buying the engine. I think it is the LEAST we can do, especially at that price.

Is anyone else having trouble getting this to run?
I purchased it on Steam, but when I run the program, nothing happens. It sits there in Task Manager consuming 0 CPU for approximately 12 seconds, and then closes. No splash screen, no nothing.
Any idea what might be going on here? The RPG Advocate version of RM2003 works just fine on the same computer.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Mason, my only advice is to uninstall and reinstall the program from steam. It sounds like something got busted during the install. If that doesn't fix it then there's something weird with your computer!

Unfortunetly, I am going to have to not reccomend this software. It is way too outdated, needlessly complicated and lacks any resources.
HOWEVER, as an avid user, I HIGHLY recommend VXAce over any other software. Its much neater, faster and vastly superior to this.
RPGMaker2k3 = No.
RPGMaker VXAce = Yes.
The people have spoken! RPG Maker 2003 needs more resources!
2 people found this review helpful. I can only imagine why.

Hey I hope you guys aren't removing it, it's actually useful. Bugmenot made a patch that allows you to set it as anything you want. And since it's a default thing, that means everyone can have it.
You should totally name your kid Bugmenot. Bug for nickname.
If it can go optional, though, this would be great.

I'd like to see ATB gradually but eventually get fixed, or have a turn-based that works with things like sleep, paralysis, etc. The other stuff I mentioned yeah could wait, but if we have a 1.11, that would be it. To make Wait into Turn Based, and Active into ATB that works.
