Creating a Patch for a game in RPGMaker VX

you HAVE to create a new download. however depending on your recoures you dont ahve to provide a full download.

I for one patch my game A LOT and always provide a full download. my downlaods are mostly backwards compatible with save files so that the player can continue from the previous version :)

Post your Music

I make a lot of music but i guess this one here is the most representative:

Help with mapping.

I guess the main problem is that the maps are just not good. But dont worry this is easily fixed. You are a beginner and there is no problem with that :)

Picture 1:
The height of the entire map is compeltely random. Things are too high while others are not high enough. The scale is just off. The front wall of the house is 4 tiles high while the backwall is only two tiles high. You only used the same plants on the entire map. Two trees, one flower, some vegetables and some grass.
Try to put the map to a unified scale and add more variety in your plants and trees.

Picture 2:
The entire layout mkaes no sense, but that is not the main problem. The problem here is that the item placement makes no sense either. Move the beds up one tile, same for the chimney and all the furniture by the wall. window and chimney placement should make sense, not just be random. Imagine what it would feel like living in a claustrophobic and chaotic place like this, where you can't even access the second half of the double bed.

Picture 3:
The room layout is boring. The rocks are just randomly placed even inside the lava which just does not work. everything is flat, there is no depth or height anywere.

Picture 4:
the furniture is higher than the walls, so are all the boxes. the items are just randomly placed, so it makes no sense to have them where they are now. there is a wall tile missing on the top where the wooden ceiling is.

Picture 5:
pretty much everything about this picture has already been said.

Picture 6:
Locke is right (as he is more often than not) the canopy of the treeline is just too narrow. The trees are shorter/smaller than the tent resulting in another failed scaling. There are tree tiles missing and some are incomplete at the stem. you used the same boring plant all over the map again, brig some variety in.

I hope this helps :)

Estopolus: Requiem of Spirits

Display a Variable during Battle

so hre is the thing:
i would need to show a variable during the game on teh upper right corner. basically because i have an item tht can and should be obtained multiple times and i need that item to be seen at all times, especially during battle.

so i attached thatitem to a variable to read how many of those items i have, basics. i know about the \v but i need that item display to be dynamic. i found a script that displays the variable number during gameplay and that is fine but I would need one that displays it during the game AND during the battles.

i attached the script here in case you can use it for this.
thanx :)

# Variable Window Snippet
# By Jet10985
# Help by: Piejamas, BigEd781, Mithran
#===============================================================================
# This snippet will allow you to show 1 variable in a window at the top-right
# of the screen. Edited by Liberty. XP
#===============================================================================



module VarWindow

VAR_NAME_1 = "Score:" # The name for the 1st variable shown. You can change it
#to anything you want, but keep the name inside the quotation marks or it won't
#work.


VARIABLE_1 = 1 # Variable shown for VAR_NAME_1


ALLOW_TRIGGER = false # Let the player hide the window by pressing a button? if
#you do want for the player to be able to toggle the score on/off then set this
#to true instead.

HIDE_WINDOW_BUTTON = Input::CTRL # If true, what button? You can change what
#button you want to use to toggle the score to be hidden.


SWITCH_TO_SHOW = 5 # This is the switch that needs to be on to show the window.
#Just change the number to match the corresponding switch.

OPACITY = 0 # This is how transperant the window is. 0 is fully transperant.
#If you want it partly transparent try about 160 or so. 250 is fully opaque.

Any advice for a beginner of music making?

rehi
the ebst advice anyone can give you is to practice. you will need to learn a lot of new things, new ways to think and work eventually but all of that is not worth a dime without practice. so thats where you start, where you continue and where you will never end - at practice.

good luck to you :)

RMVX - 4 out of 5 charas dead = game over?

thanx, ill test the script and i'll ignore the snarky remark at the end.

RMVX - 4 out of 5 charas dead = game over?

hi
i have a party of 5 in my game. 4 of them are playable characters and the fifth one is an autobattler. the thing is, the autobattler is so strong it basically cant die. that is because it is so riddiculously ahrd to get the auto battler.

now the thing is, if the autobattler cant die, you cant lose the game. and since the autobattler will stay so strong (or else why bother get him?) i need a script, eventing or whatever to make sure the palyer is game over when the other characters are dead even though the autobattler is still alive.

i use RMVX :)

Scripting problem. Not sure what it means.

i meant start a new game instead of loading a savefile in the game menu. but glad you solved it. your error was?
