What constitutes a game being marked as "buzzing" on the homepage?

Can anyone tell me what constitutes a "buzzing game?" My old ass, janky ass game Grandma's House has been sitting on the homepage there for at least a year. There have been no comments left on it since 2017, there were no comments on the postmortem I wrote a year ago, only two reviews, etc. I legitimately think it might be a bug of some sort and I honestly don't feel comfortable with the game sitting there right in between legends like Lisa, Oneshot, Ara Fell, and OFF.

If it's not a bug then my best guess is some foreign YouTuber made a video about it at some point which got a lot of views and people rushed to see it here, and that got it on the buzzing section where it kind of just never left because it ended up creating a loop where people continuously see it there and click on it so it maintains "buzzing" status. Over a year, though? Really?

Something just smells a little fishy to me. I'd much, much prefer someone else's game that is actually being commented on and actively played, something much more recent and with a lot more effort put into it, being on the homepage there.

[RMMV] Transfer to map instead of going to title

Hey, I've been trying to figure out how to make it so that when you click quit in the menu and then click the option to go to the title it takes you to a different map instead of the title screen.

However, everywhere I can look in the default plugins seems to not change at all when I type in the command for transferring the player to a specific map instead of going to Scene_Title.

Does anyone have a way of doing this? The reason I need it is a little weird to explain, but think of games like Banjo Kazooie where when you click quit game there is a little cutscene that plays and THEN you're taken back to the title.

Thanks!

EDIT: I've also tried making a plugin to do this, but I am not yet well versed in Javascript so the game hangs when I click Title. Here is what that plugin looks like, maybe someone can tell me what I've done wrong:

Scene_GameEnd.prototype.commandToTitle = function() {
$gamePlayer.reserveTransfer(2, 0, 1, 2, 0);
};

It is strange that when I try to edit this in rpg_scenes nothing happens, but when I add it as its own plugin it hangs.

[RMXP] Event-based Battle System

Hey guys I'm trying to make an event based battle system complete with a lives system and health system (it's a psuedo-platformer with simple battles).
I have it working 95%, but you can't kill the enemies. You can die, and you can deal damage (I think, there's no way to tell right now). When you die you are restarted at the checkpoint.
Talk to Frosty the Snowman to activate all the stuff that needs to be activated. You can give yourself more lives or health or items by pressing F9, in case you didn't know.
There's probably something really simple I'm missing in order to defeat the enemy. I just can't figure it out.
Ignore all the strange things about the game, it's a comedy xD whoever helps gets credit for sure.

[RMXP] Annoying Music Pause

Hey Guys I'm in RMXP, and I'm having a problem with my music files.
They are all in .OGG format and they all loop perfectly, but RMXP is adding a delay to the loop. Is this because they are too big of a file size or bitrate? I have them at 160 kbps. Is this too much for RMXP to handle in looping?
Is there any other sort of script you can recommend for looping tracks?

EDIT: Nevermind, they don't loop perfectly even though that is specifically what I set them up to do. GAH!! Hours of editing now ensue.
Is there something that automatically takes off the silence at the end of a track? I doubt it... but it would be so nice.

DOUBLE EDIT: I found it! Anyone else that is having issues with this, CHECK THIS OUT! It's called Batch Audio Silence Removal... saved me for freaking ever.

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 ;)

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

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 ;)

Musician for hire!

Hey guys, I recently quit my job to focus 100% on what I love to do most, and that's making music.
I can make songs for basically any reason you may need them, including video games, videos, movies, royalty free beats, and more.

To check out a lot of the video game music I've made, go to this link.
For some beats that I have made, go to this link.
To listen to some of my actual music, you can go to my Bandcamp page.

I have 3 years of experience making music electronically and every time I make a track I get better and better. I use a combination of Logic Pro 9 (mainly), Acoustica Mixcraft 5, and Audacity.

If any of you are interested, please send me an email at prescottofficial@gmail.com and we can discuss what you need and what rates. All of my music is royalty free (just a credit to Carter Eggenberger in your game or video is fine; music not needed but at slightly higher rates) and is generally $12 a piece (which I understand is pretty cheap), but we can work something else out if need be.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can make music for a lot of you!

MP3 not looping correctly

There is a slight pause in RMXP between MP3 looping. Why is this? Can anyone recommend a different way to go about it, maybe a different file format?

[XP] Character Data Exporter?

Hey, if someone could make this REALLY fast for me that would be so great!
I'm going pretty in depth with the planning in my game, and we plan over at my friend's house, who doesn't have RMXP. So after spending an hour typing up all of one character's stats in a spreadsheet, I figured that there had to be an easier way to do it.

If someone could make a script SUPER FAST for me that would read the game's character data and export all of the stats for every character at every level into even like a notepad document, that would be sooooooo nice. Credit in-game would be given for your help.

It would just be like at level 1, this character has 99 hp, at level 2, at level 3, etc etc etc.

Thank you so much! :D
