The official English 2k3 version is out!

author=Mirak
I bought the steam version of rpg2k3 since i was still using retail version from 2004 and it didn't play mp3 files. It's taking me a while to adapt since lots of terms and events changed names (for example "Move Event" is not "Set Move Route", etc).

I was wondering if the bug sated reported will affect WAV sound effects too, since i'm using custom sound effects called "Blow1", "Cursor1" and others which have same-named counterparts in the RTP. If i export the game with the RTP included, will these files get overwritten?


A possible solution would be this: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/44187-rm2k-game-installer-bug-and-sharing-games/#entry442130

...You can then also build the installer yourself, for example using WinRAR's feature for self-extracting archives.

Not sure what you mean.

This works fine for me:


When I run this event, I see "Please press the Right key" and then it will wait until I press the Right key, and only then it will show "Thanks"...

Because it was never meant to get patch EULA, but assholes pushing for it over and over and causing stress to the people who translated it forced the issue. It's bullshit and should never have happened in the first place. The only reason they went ahead and allowed 2k3 is because it is, effectively, abandoned due to losing the code.

The topic of allowing patches was an issue for me from the beginning, because there are so many improvements by fans that we can never expect all of them to be rebuilt and added into the official product. And we didn't want this to be a downgrade.

Quick question in regards to the legal English RTP. If I download this, will it replace the non-legal version, or will it be in addition to?
It would replace it in registry unless you change folders I think. Hard to tell.

No, both can coexist. We changed the registry path.

Hi everybody.

I'm happy to say that a major update with lots of bugfixes and improvements is incoming. Stay tuned.
I still didn't address all the problems and suggestions, but I think you are still going to like it :)

I bought RM2k3 (in official site, not sream) and I am a little disappointed.

RM2k9 not work with him. And maker not have all accessories RM2k9. Will be in future?


Part of the features might (or might not) be added natively. Also, RM2k9U is a very complex beast code-wise... I would also like to adjust it to the new version but I'm not sure when I can find time for that.

I don't see option change font and I can't add polish letter in game (in edittor OK I needn't this, but I need in game).


There is no such option, however (while adhering to the patch EULA) it should be possible to replace the font files by editing the ultimate_rt_eb.dll (and for the editor ultimate_eb.dll) file in Resource Hacker, but it will be reset when RM is updated of course.

Can off colors event commands?


Not officially, however there is an inofficial workaround at the moment. Just create an environment variable _ULTIMATE_ with value 1 (in control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables). At the moment, this will only disable the event code postprocessing (including colors), but it might be used for other things in the future, so if you encounter strange issues with future releases, try removing it again.

OK... don't know where to post this so I'll post it here.

I got the official RPG Maker 2003, which I am happy for. What I am less happy is that it's apparently buggy.

Simply put, I installed the official RTP and when trying to make a new project and checking the new interface, the moment I clicked on the Battle Screen tab, I got the following error:

"A load violation of address 00000518 occured in address 00531E13 of module 'rpgmaker2003.exe'."

Note that this was through a newly created project, not one downloaded or produced using a different version from the official one.


Is there any particular reason for this kind of bug?


This sounds really strange to me. Please, the next time you get this error message, don't click OK, but do the following:
- Open task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
- Go to advanced/details/processes (depends on your OS)
- Select RPG2003.exe and right-click it
- Choose "Dump"
- Wait a while, until a message box will tell you the dump file was created. It will also tell you the location of the file.
- Upload the file and send me the link via email or in a private message. Don't post it here because it might contain personal information such as your Windows username.
This way I can investigate what led to this error. Thanks!

And yet, when I spoke up about how "the EULA really needs to be changed so people can use DynRPG" he was silent. So was everyone else who said anything similar. That's what I'm upset about, not whether the engine has new stuff or not. That I was fed to the wolves, and left stating an opinion that nobody would back me on.

Sorry, it took a while to get the EULA done. And it took multiple revisions.

Here's an interesting "bug".

In the "unofficial" RM2K3 (or at least the one I have), when you create a game-disk and ask it to include the RTP, the RTP it includes will not overwrite any files your game contains that have the same names. So if you have, for example, edited the "Dungeon" chipset and left it named "Dungeon", your edited version will be retained in the final executable.

In the "official" RM2K3, when you create a game-disk and ask it to include the RTP, the RTP it includes will overwrite any files your game contains that have the same name. This means that if you've done what I said above, the RTP version of "Dungeon" will appear in the final executable instead of your edited version (with hilarious results based on how I found this out!)

Slightly annoying, but I'll get used to it.

This is nothing I touched. Interesting - maybe it was changed in 1.09 by Enterbrain already?

The 2k3 pseudocode, the faster_atb plugin basically messed with it. I usually refer to C++ plugin stuff as script. I think.

No, I think they recoded the engine. There is signficant design changes, none of which can be done with a simple patch (or I'd have some serious mods by now). To say nothing of the fact that simply patching over another version would likely be illegal.


All the RM2k3 modifications were indeed done only through binary patching (and of course by programming an external DLL for more advanced functions, but still it has to be interfaced with the existing code, which is done by patching again).

Best regards,
Cherry

[RM2K3] Midi

I searched Google for "Ghost-BattleEnigma.mid" (with doublequotes): https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ghost-BattleEnigma.mid%22&oq=%22Ghost-BattleEnigma.mid%22&aqs=chrome..69i57.1487j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

...and look what I found in the first result.

EDIT: You have to copy and paste the link. I think there is a bug in the forums, it cuts off the link before the first % sign! O_o

Windows 8 and RM2K3

Actually I built it in the new RPG_RT so the movie stretches the same way the game does... This is weird. But the whole movie business is a bit obscure to me, because everything in the game is painted by the engine, except for movies, which are somehow overlaid and painted by DirectX.

Please wait for v1.11 and try it again there, we made some additional modifications to the fullscreen there.

RPG Maker 2000 Value! Is now out in English!

As you might have noticed, the 2k is more off a sidekick to 2k3 here, because only very few fixes/changes have been applied compared to 2k3. For technical reasons, we can't simply copy-paste stuff from 2k3 to 2k, and we focused on 2k3 until now. Unfortunately I don't have that much time (and this is a special case where you can't just hire any random developer to do it).

RPG Maker 2000 Value! Is now out in English!

Guys, sorry but it looks like something went really wrong over there.
I was on an all-day trip with my employees and didn't notice what was going on.

It appears to me that 1) accidentally there was the internal 2k3 changelog linked instead of the official 2k one, so you now saw unreleased WIP features in the next 2k3 version. Well, oops, take it as a teaser.

But apart from that, 2) it appears like our internal preliminary installer was released, and this is why it wants a password. This is not supposed to be official, and I'm sorry that you got this mess-up. I hope it will be fixed soon.

(But the Steam version should work.)

If you want to take a step further, open your RPG_RT.ini file and add this line:

FullPackageFlag=0

Then make sure all files are inside your game folder. This way, the RTP isn't needed as long as the files are in your game. For you or anybody else who will play your game.


It's the other way round. FullPackageFlag=1 will remove RTP check.
