LIBERTY'S PROFILE

I enjoy playing and creating games (mostly RPGs) and have a love of story and characterisation above graphics. I've been into RM* since '96 and have used all makers - started on the PSX makers, found and used a patched version of the SNES RM, then moved to RM95. When I found RM2K I finally decided to join some forums and I've been a part of the community ever since.

Map Design Fun #9: BQ2 --- gamepage is up! DOWNLOAD NOW!

Yeah, I stuck to the RTP so chara1=people1 and so forth. I'm gonna go purge my computer of the secondary RTP right now.

I was sure I changed all the non-passable tiles to passable.

Sorry mine's causing so much trouble.

Sprite Uploading and need more help.

Here's a chipset guideline.


The pink area will be filled with chips where you can see a bottom tile - pink is the transparent colour.
Green will be tiles that fill the whole uh... tile.
Dark blue is autotile areas, light blue is for water animation and red is animations.

I recommend a long hard look at other chipsets if you don't know how to 'group' stuff - or just ask here. ^.^

Release Something! Day VII: Advent Children [June 20th]

I'm thinking another RealmS release and (if I don't run out of time) a Dungeon release as well. Howzat!

Objects2 heading your way...


I have two RTPs for 2003 - same files, different names. It gets a bit confusing when I have to include all files. If it's missing any other files, just say. ^.^

Inspiration and Work Ethic

If it's more an over-abundance of ideas that distracts you from your 'work', take the time to write them down and purge your mind of them. There's nothing more annoying that making a game and having another game idea poking you in the brain at the same time. Unless it's making a game and trying to remember what that brilliant game idea you thought of the other day (and pushed out of your mind) was.

You never know - you may be able to later incorporate some of those ideas into your game.

Also, if you get tired of one aspect out your game, jump ahead to another part. So, if you get tired of mapping, jog it up with a bit of database work, or monster battles or even looking for resources - even if you're using RTP you need some chillin' tunes.

Try acting as your characters would act when talking to someone - a bit of RP really helps you get a feel for your characters and their dialogue.

Do a bit of research on weapons and armour and other items you may have. Consult myths about monsters and gods/goddesses.

Make a few Easter-egg events, mangle a few well-known quotes for NPCs, do a bit of drawing.

Anything to keep it fresh and interesting. If you don't like what you've put in later, you can always just delete it, or make a backup copy to release as a 'Director's cut' after your full game goes platinum. ^.^

Keep a folder of inspirational stuff for you to gawk at every now and then. Grab a few different cave pics that you want your caves to look like, or forests, mountains, towns. Music and sounds that bring back nostalgia also help - play a few games, watch a few youtube vids with gameplay elements from your favourite games and try to figure out how you could emulate it in your maker - you don't have to do it, but it would help keep your mind on track.

"Town" tileset (from RTP) not working in RM2k3!

Here, try using this one instead.



The problem is most likely that this tile isn't the same colour as the transparent colour and it 'over-shadows' the rest of the chipset.


If it keeps doing it, just click on the background colour to make it transparent during importing.

"Town" tileset (from RTP) not working in RM2k3!

Is it saved as a PNG or BMP file? If not, that may be your problem. Also check to make sure that it's 256 colour resolution as well.

Otherwise, try to import it via the import/export button. If all else fails, check to see that it's chosen right in the Tileset Tab in the database.

If that don't work... maybe someone else will know.

Most Memorable RM Characters [May include SPOILERS!!!]

Or sarcastic. Can we get back on topic?

I rather liked Snark, too. He was a great character. Very snarky. ^.^

Also (and I can't believe I didn't mention this before) Walker Texas Ranger! Oh and Orubia/Hiyami too.
