[RM2K3] What exactly does "Observe Battle" do in RPG MAKER 2003 for enemies?

I was hoping it actually observed the battle so the enemy does skills based on what they saw of you.

[RM2K3] What exactly does "Observe Battle" do in RPG MAKER 2003 for enemies?

Does it do anything else? There's already a "do nothing" function so it seems pointless to have basically 2 "do nothing" functions.

Exactly as the topic asks. Also I didn't know exactly where to place this so I decided to ask it in here.

Hey guys! I used Molebox to bundle the game into a single exe, which is the reason your antivirus is treating this as a false positive. The reason this occurs is that Molebox effectively hides an exe (the rm2k3 runtime) inside an exe (the Molebox bundle), which is normally suspicious behaviour. If you're running into this issue you just need to make an exception for it in your antivirus.


How's everything going? Is there any new updates compared to back when it was on that other RPG maker site? Which the name of escapes me.

I'm on vacations and want to make some music for free.

The idea my crew had was to get a few musician to make a theme of their own for it, so then when people donate money, they will get the theme as part of the reward.

A Nivlacart of Art!

Do you take any requests?

Pay a fair price for your commissions or make due with what's already out there.
There are some nonfacts that wouldbe freelance artists really need to unlearn. Probably the most important thing to understand is that when you do work-for-hire as an independent contractor for a company that is NOT a private commission and cannot be treated remotely the same.

But this is definitely OT.

Here is the thing...professional covers a very wide range of artists and a wide range of prices. You can find extremely gifted artists that will work very cheap, and they may well even be better than more expensive artists who can charge more because they are more well known.
They should not. The reason they are cheap is because people take advantage of them or constantly do the 'oh, but x was cheaper' or the bullshit line "you'll get exposure". Quite frankly, if their work is good you should pay them well. FFS, sorry, but this is something I feel pretty strongly about - people getting paid fairly for their work and not getting ripped off just because they're artists. It's ridiculous and people who do it should feel bad.


You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. YOU SHOULD FUCKING FEEL BAD.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is that you assume what my company pays is exploitative simply because I described it as "very cheap" relative to asking for 70 goddamn fucking grand just to finish a stupid SNES/PS1 Era JRPG clone which people do in RPG Maker year after year for a $0 budget?

The dozens of artists we have helped to earn a living wage for their passion over the years of our operation by providing them with paying work when others wouldn't because they weren't as well known as the artists getting paying work who were charging ten to a hundred times more...GOD fucking forbid a company should have a budget and should pay out accordingly to their budget and get the best quality work for their money rather than ignore their budget and structure their freelancer pricing schedule based on some abstract ABSOLUTE concept of how 'good' art is...ffs...I can't even...LEARN HOW THE WORLD WORKS before you start holier-than-thou soapbox moralizing about business ethics from the total blind ignorance of a hobbyist's perspective.

I am done with this thread.


What your company does is irrelevant and it's like you're trying to beat a dead horse, here.

The fact is, if you want guaranteed quality work, you give out what is needed. It's good and all that you help artists, but that is far from what this whole argument was started on. My main point is that it is much easier to pay the high price than prancing around hoping to find good deals, no matter if there are good deals to be made.

On the internet, it is much easier to find the higher priced, proven high quality, experienced artists. For example if you Google commission work for artists, you're going to get the links to those popular, proven to work artists.

What you may do to help other artists, and doing it cheaper has nothing to do with my point that seemed to have started this argument with you all.

In my experience, you get what you pay for. Sure, there are people who work for free, but that work is often shit. Also, talented folks who offer to work for free very quickly become bored and quit/disappear/do minimal work with maximum excuses.

In order to get good quality assets for a game reliably so you can finish in a decent amount of time, it needs to come out of your pocket.
So, what is your experience exactly?

Because I actually own a company that pays substantial amounts of money to substantial numbers of artists to create art for use in games. And I can reliably get very high quality work at very reasonable prices.

You're the minority there. You don't count. Sorry for the double post. My bad.

That was what I was trying to say all along. Much easier to put in their needed money than to hope, pray and continually search for cheaper deals.

I am not making a game but could use some music as a sort of OST for a Kickstarter as reward tier items for donors. Would you be willing?
