and can you use rpgmakervx map in rpgmakerxp?

No unfortunately, the mapping style is totally different. However, you can use the same graphics-- but you would have to reorganize the images to fit each makers format.

Thank you again :D

hi everyone,long time no see i have some question about my new RM(i use xp now before i have 2003 and i'm also very sad because i can continue my project in rmxp)it about Self Switches can you use the same switch in same map.EX:
i use my Self Switch A on my treasure chest1 after that i make a new treasure chest2 with self switch A in the same map or i must use the self switch A in other map after i make a Treasure chest1 with self switch A.
Variable i know how to use that but i have no idea what variable use for can you give an example what event use variable(i've already seen an example like making minigame but i want other example)

Sorry for asking you so much and i'm sorry if there is a mistake in my English i hope you understand what i mean :D

For the timer:
Create a common event, doesn't matter the name - set it to Event Start Condition - Parallel Process

First, have it wait 1 second.
Then have it increase a variable, Seconds, by 1.
Next, have it check if Seconds is equal to 60
If it is, set Seconds to 0 and increase a variable, Minutes, by 1.
Then, have it check if Minutes is equal to 60.
If it is, set Minutes to 0 and increase a variable, Hours, by 1.

That common event will take care of making the actual event that keeps track of your current time in game.
To display that information in a text box, you'll need to use the \v command, where x is the variable number you want to display.
Now, to actually display it in the menu is another story - you'll have to be using a custom menu that you've built yourself, with event graphics keeping track of displaying the timer.

As for running, that can be done by another common event that checks if you're holding a particular button and increases the move speed when you are (and probably changes the character graphic), and sets it back to regular when you're not. I've never done it, so someone else would have to help more with the specifics.

Honestly, given the questions you've asked, it's probably better to put off making a custom menu in RM2k/3 for awhile until you've got a better grasp on the program.

thank you very much
