Games where you play as an animal?
This is like the Find Rare/Obscure Games thread, but not really, so I suppose this is the place to post it. Are there any games on here where you play as an animal? I can't find an option to search game descriptions, only titles, which doesn't get you far.
I'm thinking of things a bit like the Warrior Cats books, that kind of thing. I remember a computer game I used to play at school sometimes (really ancient one - probably goes right back to Acorn computers and so on) where you played a badger and had to find your way back through the forest without running out of food or water - or getting poisoned, run over, etc. (Worked in a fairly Choose Your Own Adventure way, but with pictures and a running tally of hunger/thirst.) It made a really good game actually. One reason I want to see games like this is that I'm thinking of trying to write one myself.
Will be grateful for any recommendations!

[RMXP] Game can't find RTP package, when it's there in the folder?
Thanks both of you.
I don't have RPG Maker XP installed on either computer, as I say - I'm completely posting here under false pretences. I only have the RTP.
I did have RGSS102E.dll, I tried adding Harmony.dll (although it says that's really for RPG Maker 2003) and adding that line to Game.ini. (Was it the game's .ini file you meant? The RTP folder doesn't seem to contain any .ini file.) That didn't do it, so in the end, I re-downloaded the RTP installer, and installed it again - again on the stick, but using the desktop computer. That worked. Windows XP's search system works differently (better...) than Vista's, so this time I was able to track down that though NEARLY all the RTP was on the stick, it had left 4 small files in System32 - inside several layers of subfolders, and all with "map" somewhere in their names.
Upshot, I suppose: these games aren't "portable", whatever you do with them, unless you keep a copy of the RTP installer with them to set up those files each time you want to use it on a different computer. Still, having done that I can now open my saved games on either computer, so that's a result. Thanks for your efforts!

World Outside
I don't know if anyone's still looking at this, but I'm stuck (no, not the blacksmith, a later section):
Would appreciate help as it's a really fun game so far!
I'm in the underground hideout, and I can't get past the boulder on the stairs. I'm guessing you have to put the bomb next to it, but I can't find any way of getting it there before the flamethrower sets it off. Am I just not moving fast enough, or am I missing something?

[RMXP] Game can't find RTP package, when it's there in the folder?
Hello, I'm new to these games and I've got a mystery. I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask, as the problem's about playing rather than writing, but I don't know where else to ask.
I'm playing Anaryu's "World Outside". (And enjoying it, just the kind of thing I like.) It's written in RPG Maker XP. I installed the whole game, including the RTP download, to a USB stick. I downloaded and installed it using my laptop, and on there it runs perfectly. But when I put the stick into my desktop computer and try to run WorldOutside.exe there, it gets as far as putting up a black window and then says something like "RGSS RTP Standard not found". Now, the Enterbrain RGSS RTP folder, and the "Standard" folder within it, are on the USB stick, and the game can find them there just perfectly when it's the laptop that's running it. I checked (ran a search for files dating from the day I installed it) and there's not a single file of WorldOutside's or the RTP's on the laptop itself, it's all on the stick. So why won't it run just as well whichever computer it's on? It would be very convenient if it would - that's why I did it like that.
The desktop runs Windows XP and the laptop runs Windows Vista, if that's any help.
Thanks very much for your help.

Cast Aside
Probably a bit late for the original poster, but if they or anyone else are looking: to play some, or possibly any, of these games, you need to have downloaded the RPG Maker "Run Time Package". It contains a load of standard stock graphics, sound files, etc. so that they don't have to be included in each individual game download - you only have to download the RTP once. RGSS102E.dll is one of the things that's in it. The download can be found here: http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages
I know this because I spent ages myself the other day searching all over the place trying to work out what was going on. I do think this should be explained more prominently on the "New to RMN?" page - say, under "Interested in playing games?" I think it is mentioned there somewhere, but not anywhere obvious - "not anywhere obvious" to the extent that I now can't find it again!
