WOLFCODER'S PROFILE

From the looks of things, I'm going to roll with a version that's almost complete in time for Christmas. It should be nearly operational- events working with possibly even battles.

Don't worry, my scouter can read power levels over 999 or 9999. I've left only the edge cases (value equals zero, etc.) so all values can go up to the limit of a signed 32-bit integer which is something like 2 billion positive and 2 billion negative. It all depends on what the editor saves so if you unlock it there with a lil' hack my engine won't have a problem.

@Kazesui that actually happens in RPG_RT? Haha, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm not going to open RPG_RT though, this is a backwards engineering project not a reverse one so I'm writing all my own image routines in D3D.

"the one that you have up for download does not work on windows 7 ether when i try to start a new project it says that it is unable to do it"

That's probably because my program is not an editor, only the engine.. Well that is my assumption since you're being very vague.

"under the "animations 2" tab, we can only have 32 different poses for in battle, which is actually kind of limiting for me, since I'm trying to do different severities for different status effects, or a unique casting animation for each element. If that number could be increased a good bit it would give people a lot more freedom."

Talk to Cherry for editor changes, my engine is only the executor. My engine doesn't care how long your animation files are.

"Speaking of which, how about some sort of option to tell what statuses your party members and enemies are currently afflicted with? Is this doable?"

For multiple status effect feature enabled, I'll actually have an extra optional resource that maps icons to skills. If this file is found, the icons inside will be displayed over battlers' heads. I'm not yet sure what convention I'll use to define what icon is what effect. It might be even something as crude as in-order where the third icon is the third effect.

"Lastly, is changeable resolution for battles so we can have zoom modes impossible?"

For any file, if it has another file with -2x at the end of the name, that file will be the actual one loaded in my engine. For example, a double resolution chipset for main.png would be main-2x.png. This is enabled for all resources, including things that aren't images (and it seems to work fine so far).

If your entire game is full of double resolution resources, you can add VideoSize=2 to the RPG_RT.ini file in order to force a minimum video scaling on the resolution. I'll be releasing these as a binary sometime later.

That's funny because if it were not for my ability to read Japanese, I couldn't be anywhere near as complete as I am now. There's some really amazingly complete documentation on this sort of thing but it's in Japanese. I can't even seem to get the URL copy paste to work here because it's in that ugly web safe % code

でも日本語があまり上手じゃないね～

What's even funnier is I found an error in their tile decoding article, they had one pattern repeated twice. It's a wiki so I fixed it for em'

Until Cherry makes it so the editor can load and display 32-bit pictures, you could have a picture for the editor, and a second file beside it with -2x at the end. (main.png and main-2x.bmp for example). It'll have the result you see in the image I uploaded.
