CloseI'm a newbie to the game making process. I'm trying to learn as much on my own as I can, however, I figured I'd try and get some forum help. So in hopes I don't upset anyone:
I downloaded RPG Maker VX. I tinkered with making a map for an hour or so but the stock graphics only give so much. I know there's a few tutorials and I'm interested in this RM "School" game but it won't load. I assume this may be in part due to the fact that I don't have an RTP (whatever role that serves I don't know).
I'm also looking into learning Ruby language, but as I understand it, there is RGSS2 that is Ruby geared towards game making. Maybe I have that wrong. Any explanations, tips, or direction would help. Thank you for your time.
Also, I want to learn how to import sprites (and make my own eventually) and tiles, and how that whole system works.

RTP, otherwise known as a Run-Time Package is a collection of RMVX's stock graphics and audio files. It's best to have it installed since a lot of games may use files from the RTP, not to mention that you probably need it anyway if you're using RMVX.
RGSS2 is simply a collection of classes and methods coded in Ruby to process information created by the RMVX editor and present it to you as a game. The language is Ruby, but with an assortment of pre-made methods, in other words.
Importing is simple: Open the import window, select the folder (type of file, in layman terms) you want to import to, hit import, open your file, select the transparent colors if applicable, ????, profit!

Excellent KingArthur! That was the info I needed to wrap my brain around it all. One last request: Where is a good place to download the RTP and RGSS2, you know, virus free and the like?
And any ideas why the "School" for RPG Maker won't load for me? It acts like it's going to open up but the window stays minimized and floating. I have no problem playing The Longing Ribbon (aside the fact I get killed alot lol).

No clue since I have no idea what game you're referring to.

Also, did you check these out? This should help you get started with the basics. http://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/248/
Many thanks. I can't seem to find the "School" link again. It's basically an RM game that teaches you how to do things in the program by playing the game. At least that's how I understood it as I haven't been able to play it.
And I haven't checked them out yet Darken. I'm currently deployed and my internet is really shatty and has problems trying to stream video. I'll give them a shot. They may work if they load the video while it's paused. Thanks for the help.
