[RM2K3] RPG MAKER MANIACS PATCH (FOR OFFICIAL VERSION)

Might be a dumb question but does anyone know if the Maniac's Patch increases the limit of switches past 9999?

I don't think it does vbut I think it's compatible with patches that increase it past 9999. At the very minimum, I know it doesn't increase the PICTURE limit past (somewhere between 999 and 1500) by itself.

Will this work on the version on RPGMakerWeb? Its going for like 3 bucks now and this looks like a really awesome mod.

I think the RMW and Steam versions are the same, includingly i think you can just run the program directly from the steam install folder in the steam version and run it without going through Steam.

That's kind of what happens when you apply the patch, too. It duplicates the .exe, and the new .exe will NOT run through steam. (by default, I guess.) So you create a new shortcut.

3 bucks is a steal. It's definitely worth the purchase. Even at full price, it's cheap and very competitive to the other rpg makers.

Looks like BingShan is rewriting rpg_rt from scratch and he was also talking on his twitter about doing the same with the editor so we may not get a new version of the patch for a while (if at all).

So, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've installed and loaded, used the utility, applied it to the engine, to the game I'm working on, I've restarted the computer, and nothing.

I've done nothing except add dlls that are, as far as I can tell, doing nothing. No new menu options. No changes to the variables, no ogg support.

It's a different editor?

EDIT: I've gone into the folder, but I can't figure it out.
The utility application does the same thing.
I'm pretty sure en and jp are English and Japanese.
I went into the en folder.
One backs up. One opens an event command window, and the Patch application just errors out and crashes.

EDIT 2: I figured it out. It's in the folder with the steamapp 2k3

I was wondering about that: Isn't reimplementing the RPG_RT basically what EasyRPG is doing, too? Why not bundle the efforts?

I was wondering the same and I doubt that BingShan will be able to achieve that work which took EasyRPG many man-years any time soon.

They must've had their reasons to decide to do it like that, after all much of RPG Maker is made of peronal challenges, isn't it? I agree that working together with the (awesome) easyRPG woulda been much cooler tho... for us

I'm just a tad bummed out because there's ONE tiny unfixed bug on Maniacs that reeeally prevents a lot of stuff battle-system wise, which is the fact that the "variable = enemy id" command is bugged and will fetch the enemy's formation id instead of their database id (there's another separate command for getting their formation id and BingShan has confirmed this is a bug)

But I'm looking forward to whatever they, or the easyRPG team for that matter, end up doing. They're all doing sick cool awesome stuff.

I recommend these:

THUNDER DRACO & THUNDER WINDY
Two awesome horizontal scrolling arcade shooters. After GameOver or last stage, you can watch (and save) a full replay.

Doradora Island Saga
Somebody achieved to build an entire real-time strategy game like "Age of Empires" with 2003MP. Don't know what kind of witchcraft that is, but it works.

Kaogura Painter
A drawing tool for FaceSet graphics with 5 layers and stuff completely made in 2003MP, released just about a week ago. Can save the image as "Save01.lsd" (size: around 9MB!) and as full-color PNG image ("kg.png").

Ooooooh this is amazing. The TPC thing seems to be a conversion/compilation tool to convert event commands and possibly other things (given that there are LDB/LMU/LMT definitions) to/from text in a scripting language kind of way.
