As I want to be able to play .mp3s with rm2k I thought it'd be a good idea to try the VALUE! patch. Installing it caused my in-game font to get messed up, though, and installing the fonts provided with the patch didn't help.
Reinstalling RM2k brings the font back to normal, however I am then unable to play .mp3s so I'm back to square one.

Anyone know of a good workaround? (besides using another Maker) Thanks in advance.

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.

Did you try installing the font patch after installing the MP3 patch? You can download the RM2K/RM2K3 font patch here.

Yeah, didn't work.
Even worse, tried reinstalling everything again and now the English patch isn't even working. fml

Oh, hang on.
In-game font's working fine now, but the engine font is fucked up.
I assume you are talking about the editor, not the engine, because you said it's fine ingame (= at the game engine).

You can't change the font in the editor easily. However, you can use RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate (an RM2k(3) editor extension), you can set the font there as you like.

Oh, make sure you have the right rpg_rt.exe (a VALUE! one) in your game, otherwise MP3s won't work. It should be greater than 720 KB. You can change the game's fonts using the Font Changer or Hyper Patcher 2.

Yeah, I meant editor, not engine. Sorry about that.

Anyway I managed to fix both the editor and in-game fonts myself but ran straight into the MP3 problem. I tried the rpg_rt.exe provided in the VALUE! folder but no luck. :\ (If it helps, the one I replaced the original RPG_RT.exe was 729 KB as opposed to 732 KB)

I'll give you another alternative by giving you the download to the full English (patched) version of RPG Maker 2000 VALUE!. No strings attached, no installation and works like a portable version. It's as simple as just running it :).

EDIT: please don't post links to pirated software. Thanks.

Credits to someone by the name of rpg_hacker for the English VALUE patch, by the way :)

I don't think we're allowed to post such links...
(p.s. thanks)

EDIT: Fonts still messed up and mp3s still don't work, despite me using the RPG_RT.exe from the VALUE! folder. ...might as well use VX...
Okay, new idea:

Revert back to normal RM2k, as it was before. Also use the normal RM2k's rpg_rt.exe

Then just download Disharmony, it allows you to play MP3, OGG, WMA and more. There is even a loop editor where you can set loop points in MP3s, and you can use effects (reverb, etc.) for sound effects if you want.

To use mp3s with Disharmony, rename them to .mp3.wav
mp3s are very bad don't use them

Why? ^^

go away geodude

Anyway I tried Disharmony like you suggested. I'm not getting a NOT IMPLEMENTED message an infinite number of times but...I can't hear a thing.
Just to clarify, after installing RM2k I'm supposed to install Disharmony, then rename my file to 'blabla.mp3.wav' and finally import it, right?

Sorry for being so incompetent. Haven't done much RPG Maker-related for a while.
Well, basically it should be right, but it looks like you have the wrong rpg_rt.exe (the Value! one).

Download this one: http://cherrytree.at/downloads/RPG_RT-Sammlung/RM2000/v1.07%20Englisch/RPG_RT.exe

SUCCESS! I am now listening to my favourite obscure Japanese guitarist via Rm2k.
Thanks alot to everyone who helped, particularly Cherry: you're a star.

(Note: apparently there was just a problem with my renaming in the end.)

EDIT: Cherryyyyy your site's broke :(
I know. Strangely, I repeatedly get SQL connection errors today. Looks like somebody is DoS-ing me, I don't know :(

It usually works again after some minutes.
