SEGNIN'S PROFILE

Are you on Vista, Vanisher?

Because some people have trouble playing RMXP games on Vista.
Maybe this guide will help you:

I've also seen some RMXP games that come with 2 copies of the RGSS102E.dll file, with one copy modified to work with Vista. Maybe you need to find one of these modified versions?

The RGSS102E.dll file is installed on your computer when you install either RPG Maker XP or the RTP for RMXP.

And for this game, you will at least need the RTP, which you can download from here:

~~~~~~~~

If you already have the RTP for RMXP (and not for RMVX--they're not the same) installed on your computer, then check your game's folder to see if it has the all of the following:

Game.exe
Game.ini
Game.rgssad
Audio folder

~~~~~~~~

If you have all 4, then open the Game.ini with Notepad and you should see this:
If anything is different, then fix it so it matches with how it's written above.

How do i decompress?
i havent even heard that word before.
Plus i cant find the font folder.... do i have to make it......

After you unzip Cosplay Crisis, look inside the game's folder for one labeled Fonts.

Look in that folder, and you'll see 8 files named pf_tempesta_seven...

Copy all 8 of those fonts and paste them into Window's own font folder.

To find Window's Font folder, go to My Computer > Local Disk (C: Drive) > Windows > Fonts

As for "decompress", it's used in reference to unzipping and un-raring any zip and rar archives which are usually compressed to reduce size and save space

"Decompress" has nothing to do with installing fonts though, as the font files themselves are not already compressed.

Avira gave me the same warning.

When I submitted the Game.exe to them just now, it turned out the file had already been previously submitted and analyzed.

And their previous finding was this:
"The file 'Game.exe' has been determined to be 'DAMAGED FILE (MALWARE)'. In particular this means that this file is damaged and not working properly. Nevertheless we were able to determine that it contains malicious code fragments."

Since I sent them a new submission, I think they're going to reanalyze it, but I'm not sure of that.

In the meantime, any standard Game.exe file from any RMXP game should work with Avantasia--like the one I uploaded to my locker that you can download:

Btw, you can submit suspicious files to Avira through this page:

(I'm assuming you know how to use Windows built-in zip file feature)

Just zip up your Project folder and upload that.

Inside the Project folder should be all the necessary folders & files: the folders for Data, Graphics & Audio, along with the Game.exe and Game.ini files.

Also, if you used any font(s) in your game not normally packaged with Windows, then put that font(s) in the Project folder before you zip it up.

Finally, if you want people to play your game without needing the RTP, then copy and paste the Audio & Graphics folders from your RTP into your Project folder before you zip it up.

The RTP is by default located on this path (for Win XP):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS\Standard

However, if you'd rather not do that, then open the game.ini file in Notepad and check to make sure there's this line:

RTP1=Standard

If that line's not there, then add it and save.

Now, people will be able to play your game--but only if they install the RTP on their computers first.

About the RTP, you can import just the files you use.

I think there is a program I can use to do this for me. Should be fine. I'll do that next time.

You're right. There is such a program and you can get it here:
