Breaking Up: Text Boxes, Line Length, and You

Can you spot the grammar error in this sentence?
I believe it's the "them." And it should be "and I sell it up front." Maybe?
I could be wrong, because me fail english is unpossible.

"Equipment" is plural here, so "them" being a plural word is appropriate I believe.

Personally, I think good writing also involves making the written text visually pleasing to look at.
This is true for the experience, but do you mess with the spoken dialogue of a character to make the text more visually appealing?
I try to reconcile the too, but it's hard, especially when I put a high emphasis on characterization through speech.

I'd say content of dialogue takes precedence over visual appearance of the text, I believe the real test here as a writer is whether you can make a given piece of dialogue look great within a given space without altering the dialogue. If you can do this, you're golden.

For rm2k3, can common events take the place of battle events

In RM2K3 you can call a common event from within a battle event, thereby running said common event. However, not all commands are supported when calling common events via battle events and things like manipulating equipment might result in strange behavior.

Old RM2k/3 resources re-made for RMVX/Ace

i'd love to get my filthy mitts on the OP request just not the RTP per se. if someone converts some of the other great 2k(3) resources for use in vx(ace) i will be happy as a klam. nothing in particular there was just a general wealth of rips and public domain gfx that were available in the olden days that haven't been ported to vx(ace).
I would especially love to see all the old NES Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy rips (tiles, battlers, sprites, etc.) done for RM2K/3 ported over to Ace, now that Ace re-introduces unlimited tilesets.

Run them through a 2x pixel resize filter, cut-'n-paste as appropriate. Even a monkey can do it.

Can you spot the grammar error in this sentence?
The comma in "... in the back, and I ..." and that the period in "This is my father's shop." should actually be a comma to join the two related sentences?

However, I think line length is a silly thing to worry about and has zero impact on readability.
A line that is too wide or too narrow will be tiresome to read and lines that get broken up into odd segments (ie: Craze's "bad" examples) are just a nuisance.

Personally, I think good writing also involves making the written text visually pleasing to look at.

Old RM2k/3 resources re-made for RMVX/Ace

author=Fugue
is it me or do the 2k(3) dudes look WAY better in vx ace style <3

YMMV, but I personally like the original RM2K(3) RTP style better. (。= ω =。)

(RMXP) - I'm looking for a way to change from song to song in game, with character input, an event they can click, like a radio

Just saying you can easily just code this up in events, don't need to use RGSS.

Menu Creator for RM2k3

Rm2k3: Text on screen

I didn't extract that .zip, but if the name is correct that patch is for RM2K, not RM2K3. I don't know what would happen if one were to use that on RM2K3.

Hi

I wouldn't know English wasn't your first language unless you told me, it's that good!

Welcome to RMN, post lots and be merry~ ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ
