CloseHey there :)
Since to me there doesn't seem to be a place around where someone writes on how to use the tpc commands in the Maniacs Patch for RPG Maker 2003 I'd like to use this thread since the other one is more about RPG Maker 2003 Maniacs Patch in general.
So I've been using tpc commands for some time now and here and there I found that with the japanese readme.txt only it's quite hard to know how to use some commands. If you have the same problem here some useful commands:
String operations - examples
Set string to the value of another string (please replace brackets with square brackets)
t(1599) .asg t(1698)
Find a string (here the comma) and write the postion in Variable 1487
t(1599) .inStr ",", 1487, .beg 0
Replace characters in a string - here replace comma with space
t(1599) .asg .rep t(1599), ",", " "
Get the length of a string
t(1599) .getLen v(1260)
Split up a string (here for every space) and write the substrings in the string variables beginning from t2000 - count of substrings in Variable 1489
t(1599) .split " ", t(2000), v(1489)
Set string variable 1600 to a substring of string variable 1599 beginning from the 0th character until the character in Variable 1492
t(1600) .asg .subs t(1599), 0, v(1492)
Write what's in string variable 1 to a text file called Skills.txt
t(1) .toFile "Skills", .utf8
Create a screenshot and save it directly into the pictures folder where you can directly use it to show it (for example in a save menu)
@img.save .screen .dst "picture\test"
String operations (translated from the japanese readme.txt):

Here's a running doc of an english translation for the maniacs patch TPC readme:
https://github.com/jetrotal/CSA/blob/main/info.md#-TPC--Control-String-Variables-
https://github.com/jetrotal/CSA/blob/main/info.md#-TPC--Control-String-Variables-
TPC and maniacs in general enable a ton more functionality than just strings, though those are arguably one of if not the biggest selling point.
I dont understand what any of that means. I found the maniacs download page and seemed to manage to download it, but the site and readme are all japanese
There should be an English version of the patch out there... Been a long time. I can try to find it for you tomorrow.

Actually I think there's a lot going on in the background and the (half japanese half english) discord where there's already a newer version of the maniacs rpg_rt.exe. unfortunately I don't even know what the changes are :(
