Bugs or things that need changing:
- Putting too high of a number for width or height in map settings can create a crash and break the project.
- Characters can be copied and pasted into text boxes where they shouldn't be allowed. (I.E. letters in a numbers-only box, or invalid ASCII characters)
- Deleting a map's child map seems to make it so that when you open the map settings it crashes. Upon opening the project again, there is a "(null)" map where the child map used to be.

I updated the download really quick with updated .2XX files. You may re-download. See if that funky formatting happens to you again (if you make a new project).

Or try editing the labels under project settings.

I also found one other bug: hit the testplay button, then try to go up on the title screen: you'll get the awesome "Arraylist out of bounds" error.

Yeah weird. The title menu crashes but the in-game menu wraps around properly. I'll write that one down.

Oh hmmm, maybe I wasn't specific enough. I meant when I opened the main menu in the game (during testplay) not the actual dialog box in the editor. The editor handles the large numbers just fine...well sort of. The numbers seemed to overflow because although the script editor shows 1000000000, when I attempt to edit the value it's a negative number.

When I do that the editor complains at me when I try setting the maximum number of derived stats and then clamps them for me.

Noooooooooo.

As I've said, try a new project or edit the labels and see if it works. Labels are edited on the right side of project settings.

Haha, I see the confusion-- were speaking of different things. Let me start from the beginning, as I was rather tired and failed explaining last night. So, when I go to edit the return value of a derived stat, inside of it's scripted events, I can set ridiculously large values (100000000) and after a certain point they start overflowing and going negative. Also, if the value is doesn't overflow and is at something like 1000000, everything compiles fine, but upon testing and opening the menu it crashes.

I started a new project and whenever my maxhp stat goes into 4+ digits, then this problem occurs. However, if there are 3 of less digits the max hp looks as it should. I would say that whatever function you use for wrapping text is adding a new line.

Minor Bugs:
Can open menu while textbox messages are still displayed on screen.
Can continue events while menu is displayed on screen (I was able to read and close all textboxes while the menu was open).

Also cut, copy and paste don't seem to work in the script editor (I assume those are placeholders, but figured to mention it just in case). Of course drag and dropping the events would be convenient, but might be a bit harder to setup.

- Downloaded the new version to a different folder than an older version, and the new version now uses the projects folder from the older version so I have to keep going back and forth between them...

That's expected behavior, or an expected side effect. Always use the latest version.

Oh I understand! I've confirmed it. This occurs if the total character count of the HP label, the current HP, the /, and the maximum HP exceeds 15 characters. Obviously the resulting string will be far too huge to fit in the menu, but I'll increase the buffer anyways so it looks messed up instead of crashing.

This is true. I've just realized the font size might default to 16. Set it to 14 (project settings, system graphic).

Those are all planned, the copying and the cutting of blocks of script around as well as all the other polish specifically for the script editor.

I can confirm that one too.

Can continue events while menu is displayed on screen (I was able to read and close all textboxes while the menu was open).

I think the in game manager menu should fully pause the game. I was actually thinking of letting events continue before, I had changed my mind.

Not really a bug per se, but when you do this and select "New Event", for much bigger events the top left corner of the newly created event won't coincide with the top left corner of the selection box. pic (I added the snow so the event was easier to see)

That is intentional so you can make an event where you want, or even multiple copies. Events are always spawned where you right click. I'll add a crosshair or something.


Thank you again.

You can just hit Enter for OK if you want. There's much more than that I have to do in order to accelerate the editor than just re-arrange buttons (keyboard accelerators for instance!)

- A command to center the view on the player start position?

You mean a jump-to? I'm not sure. That will be handled by a future "search for a specific event in the entire project" function.

- Undo

I've already got undo planned.

- Show event's name while mouse is hovering over it

I'm also planning this one.

- Recent projects list under File

This was something I wasn't going to add. Though RPG Maker 2003 sort of did it, so I can add this in.

- Command to open RPG 20XX's page in browser

You mean folder and you mentioned this one already. It's written down in the list, I just haven't done it yet.

- Built-in release notes (maybe pull them from https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/rpg20xx/doc/list.txt automatically?)

I'm going to avoid network coms in the editor.

- Show selection area size next to cursor position at the bottom left

That's a good idea. Especially if it is a large selection and you can't eyeball it anymore.

- Might be a good idea to start adding preferences for RPG 20XX itself, though on the other hand it's pretty simple and there isn't a ton that would need to be changeable.

There are some already. Notice how it remembers how big you had it sized and where it was? Or the last project edited?


Thanks again.

I'm going to avoid hyperlinks too. And a settings window is planned.

I don't even have to open the editor, heh, I know I forgot to give the atlas preview its own tileset (it currently draws from the palette loaded in map view). Thanks for pointing it out.

- If you right click and select Paste Event without anything copied then it says "Need to copy event first." like it should but then it crashes.

Yeah it crashes when I do this too.

- It would be nice if there were a way to put an event on the player start, or maybe if the player start could be scripted itself.

People have done that over the ages of RPG Maker by putting an auto start event on the same map the player starts.

- Maybe a command to highlight all the solid tiles on the map?

Define "solid"

- Option to hide/show layers selectively

Actually I was going to do some sort of fading like 2003 did.

- A command to randomly populate a selected area with selected tiles would be cool for natural areas.

I can implement some form of that.

- "Duplicate map" option when right-clicking a map, this would be useful when making things like buildings with many similar floors and stuff like that.

Ok.

Thanks again.
