Getting a new graphics card?
Hey LockeZ, thanks for your help!!
Like I said, I did just barely buy 4 GB worth of DDR RAM, and that should be coming within the next week, so I guess that will help out streaming (and everything else) a lot!
If I did end up buying the product you mentioned along with this video card, would I still be able to use the standard DDR ram I just bought? The processor says something about DDR2 memory, while the video card mentions something about DDR3. Is that just the speed at what the products go at, and has nothing to do with my RAM?
Also, what about the power supply? And the overclocking.
Sorry I'm such a complete noob at this. I've never really had the need to do much on my PC other than music, which runs perfectly fine. Even making a video (with Corel) goes pretty quickly, other than the publishing of the actual file which takes around 45 minutes for a video that's just a couple of minutes.

Getting a new graphics card?
The only thing I've ever done inside of a PC is replace RAM, and I've replaced a laptop hard drive. Both extremely easy tasks.
However, I am aware that getting a new graphics card may not be so easy.
I have a really old PC, like, really old. It has Windows XP on it but is "Vista Ready" (nothing is ready for Vista).
Here are the specs it currently has:
Model: Emachines T6532
RAM: Two DDR RAM sticks of 512 MB each, running at 200 MHz, although I just bought four 1 GB sticks that each run at 400 MHz
HDD: 200 GB (which is enough for me, quite honestly, although I am considering buying a bigger one).
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ running at 2.2 GHz (not overclocked).
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 revision A2 running at 400 MHz, and a memory size of 512 MB.
I also did the little speed up trick with page files (I think that's what they're called) with a 16 GB flash drive.
Terrible specs, I know, but it actually runs pretty well for what I've used it for so far (streaming videos, playing N64 and lower games, composing and producing music, and RPG Maker of course), and while doing most tasks my CPU hovers around only 7% usage.
However, I want to get into playing some 3D games and such, because I have never, ever been able to. I can't watch 720p on YouTube without it lagging like crazy because of my graphics card (no, it isn't my internet, our connection speed through ethernet is 50Mbps, thus making mine around 23 usually, and we can watch full 1080p on every other device in the home, even phones).
I really don't know what it takes to get a new video card, but I'd like to have something around the $200-$250 range. Apparently, you also need to figure out how much power in watts you are currently putting out, and buy a new cable if you have to, because an intensive video card might require more power than the power cord you currently have. I don't have a clue how much power I'm capable of producing at the moment, and even if I did, I wouldn't know how to go about getting a new cable, which I'm sure I need.
If you guys can help me out, that would be fantastic! If you need anything else, let me know, and I'll throw it up on here.
Also, as a sidenote, how do I go about overclocking? I tried a program to do it once and overclocked it to the max, but it seems it didn't work, since the core speed is still exactly the same as the stock core speed.
I used CPU-Z to find all of these specs.
I also posted this same thing on RMW; I'm trying to get answers fast ;)

Sticky PS3 controller issue?
All of the newer PS3 controllers that come with the super slim consoles have issues like this too, except the joysticks literally STICK when you move them. They feel like cheap plastic too. Pretty sad.
I would suggest buying new, Sony brand controllers. They're a bit of money, I know, but they're a lot better than anything else you're going to find out there.

R.I.P. RPG Revolution
Just tried going there today, figured I get active again.
Now it's been erased.
This makes me so sad :(
I was a mod on there for a year and have tons of good memories of the place. May it rest in peace along with all of the other great, dead sites.

Peri's assorted art
It seems like the first character concept would be like the girl from Daylight that you play as.
Nice work!
Nice work!
Any good character creation systems out there? (XP)
Hello there, I was wondering if there were any systems/scripts for RMXP out there that allow the player to create their own character? I have all of the resources, as I've been trying to do some edits to Moonpearl's script, but it's not looking too good. You're not really supposed to use it in your project, as it's meant to be a stand-alone type of thing (which is funny, because it's actually the best character generator out there. Tons of options).
Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions of in-game character creators? I have separate pieces, like armor, hair, facial hair, glasses, shoes, etc.

[XP] Wind Waker 2D Mapper Needed
And a lot of database stuff.
The maps are like the most important part. I need those to work through the rest. I'd like to do it kind of procedurally, like when I start getting the maps I start adding the database items for the map, and the events, and the music, and all of that jazz.

No, he had the maps done but never sent them to me, unfortunately. I wish he did!
I'm currently working through the database and I got a video script working that plays the intro at the beginning of the game. I just need a way to disable full screen during the intro and it'll be smooth.
I'm going to be using Blizz ABS.

[XP] Wind Waker 2D Mapper Needed
Hey everyone, I'm going to start out by saying I had a mapper previously that finished half the maps for this project, but then flaked out on me. I haven't been able to contact him since then to even get the half that he did, and it seems he hasn't been online for ages.
So I've had this project festering on my desktop. I wanted to start in on it again, so I'm wondering if there's anyone who would be willing to do all the mapping for a Wind Waker 2D game in RPG Maker XP. You do the mapping, I do the scripting, eventing, database, all that other good stuff. It's a trade off!
Of course, you will be credited. Why wouldn't you be?
Let me know, I'd be happy to work with you!
P.S. I even have a movie script working with the intro ;)
