KOTATSUAKIRA'S PROFILE

Last May I've made a subpage on MakerDev Library for a little side-project regarding additional RPG2000/2003 REFMAP materials, packed into CharSet-files for escalating decoration-purpose. It also features a long list of URLs related to REFMAP/FSM (of which a ton are dead, but usually can be accessed on Wayback).

★ https://dev.makerpendium.de/materials/projects/refmap-extended/index.htm

Have posted a few hundred sets from May to June and then put it on pause. I still plan to continue that thing some day, there's still lots of unorganized stuff flying around in my workfiles.

RemoveAutoBattle
https://archive.org/details/RPGMakerPatch_RemoveAutoBattle

Removes the auto-battle option from the default battle-system's party-commands window. Not to be confused with Cherry's NoAutoBattle for RPG2003 which disables access to the party-commands entirely. You can still escape from battles if allowed, and use cancel-button in RPG2003 to pause all battlers' continuous ATB-progression.

Available for:
★ 2000-1.07, 2000-1.10, 2000-1.50, 2000-1.51/1.52, 2000-1.60, 2000-1.61, 2000-1.62
★ 2003-1.00, 2003-1.03, 2003-1.05, 2003-1.08, 2003-1.09~1.12 (NOT compatible with Maniac Patch)

It would be nice having this in 2003, reminds me of FF.

Cherry made a patch that does the same for 2003-1.08 some time longer ago (according to kaine) if that is what you need.

TextWidthEight
https://archive.org/details/RPGMakerPatch_TextWidthEight

Changes the width of all text rendered onto game-screen from 6 to 8 (wide characters and EXFONT are changed from 12 to 16, half-space from 3 to 4) pixels, while the height remains 12. To properly use this, you may have to replace the fonts used by the engine and insert a new EXFONT image into the EXE that features a width of 208 instead of 156 pixels.

For now, do not use this in combination with EXtraFONT. More specifically, only apply it if you perfectly know what you're doing, as you will have to manually adjust the definition of EXFONT's auto-resized width on load from 288 to 384 pixels.

Available for:
★ 2000-1.07, 2000-1.10, 2000-1.50, 2000-1.51/1.52, 2000-1.60, 2000-1.61, 2000-1.62
★ 2003-1.00, 2003-1.03, 2003-1.05, 2003-1.08, 2003-1.09~1.12


ShoppingShortcut (2000-1.62 only)
https://archive.org/details/RPGMakerPatch_ShoppingShortcut

Replaces the command to call the shop-screen with setting some switches and variables instead. This is intended to be used when you want to create custom shop-screens, but retain the comfort of being able to define a shop's basic data and assortment with just one command.

★ Set switch #1015 ON if normal or buy is selected, else OFF.
★ Set switch #1016 ON if normal or sell is selected, else OFF.
★ Set var #3409 to the selected text-type (A|B|C >>> 0|1|2).
★ Set var #3410 to number of items available in shop.
★ Fill vars beginning with #5001, set them to selected item-IDs.

Nothing visible will happen without additional work. It is recommended to call a common-event that contains the actual custom shop-screen's process right after defining the shop. Also, the cases-option for different treatments after shopping if the player bought/sold something will do nothing / stop working entirely when this patch is applied.


In other news:
★ Added 2000-1.51/1.52 to FlexibleWalker EX+α and BushPointer.
★ Added 2000-1.51/1.52 to ModernEndScreen and RemoveQuitQuestion MES.

TrickySoundPool (2000-1.62 only)
https://archive.org/details/RPGMakerPatch_TrickySoundPool

This patch replaces a few calls that refer to the confirm-sound-effect with other sounds available and some additional similar changes are made, too. To make good use of all that stuff, it may be necessary to re-assign some system-sounds mid-game again, again and again to make them always fit the current scene/screen or situation.

★ Using skills in the default menu that stay in it will play enemy-collapse instead of animation-sounds after target-choice.
★ In the default menu's equipment-screen, equipping or unequipping and item now plays attack-evasion.
★ When saving or loading in the file-menu, escape or enemy-attack will play respectively instead of confirm.
★ Finishing purchase or sale of an item in shop will play enemy-damage or actor-damage respectively.
★ Starting a battle doesn't make a sound, this slot is now used for collapsing actors instead.

To get battle-start-sound back, just put a sound before battles in events are starting. Also, random-encounters can be catched and redirected to manual battles with my patch Encounter Randomness Alert you can use in combination with this.
