All Hallows' Event 2013 Podcast, Part 3

There are no words for this part. I see why it's longer than all the rest.

RPG Maker Lingo

Two small things:

1)
Although VX lacks many features, it still contains scripting ability with a new scripting language: RGSS2. This language slightly differs from the original ruby language, so don't get the two confused.
Quite minor, but RGSS2 is just a new set of default scripts, both hidden and accessible. The language is still Ruby. That said, most scripts would need tweaking to be compatible between the two due to the fact the bases are different, as you were pointing out.

2)
Any game made with an RPG maker engine cannot be played without the RTP. Also, you must download an RPG maker engine's RTP to use the engine.
I can't speak for 2k/3, but at least in XPVX you can make a game standalone and not require the rtp. Most developers will note this if they have done so though.

Overall, this seems like a helpful article for those new to the scene.

The Basics of Variables

Modulus (%) gets the remainder when doing division. It's useful for something like getting the x position based on the index in a grid.
x = index % width
y = index / width

That said, I can't say I've ever used it with variables in an event though.

Booleans, Variables, Constants, Arrays, and Conditional Branches

c++ *nostalgia*;

edit: I only had time to skim over it, and it seems sound to me, but I'll make a proper comment later.

Simple Instructions and Tips if you’re having difficulty installing a Game.

Another key point I think is worth mentioning: If you get a "failed to extract" error from a zip, rar, or especially the exe package that XP/VX can create, check the file size. If the download did not complete entirely, it can lead to this error.

RMN Snews - Issue #16

I was half expecting this to be a "special" edition given the date it is in parts of the world right now.

And since I'm commenting anyways, I'd just like to say as a some-what lurker, I enjoy reading these, even if I've never commented before.
