RPG 20XX Engine

If you're on Windows 7 and above, delete C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Roaming\rpg20xx for a "factory" reset. This folder is somewhere else in Windows XP.

The editor will start blank and you'll have to open existing project/start new project. None of your game projects get deleted by doing the above.

If you open a previous project back up and the editor breaks again, ZIP up and send me that project. Sometimes you have to do a specific thing for the editor to break. If so, try to recreate your steps.

The editor does this if reopened after an internal fault.

The default battle system isn't quite finished. You'll notice the enemy AI isn't active either.

You know what? I'm going to dust off the old XP virtual machine here and see if I can fix it, out of principle. Having a tiny global usage stat was always my reason for making Linux a low priority, so this is instead entirely out of honor rather than reason. My older stuff worked on Windows XP just fine, you see.

2.Windows XP

Seems to be the culprit.

I will have to figure something out, but for now please use a non-obsolete version of Windows.

This has been happening frequently in my latest projects where it not used to be. Because Windows XP has taken its place alongside 2000 and 9X, I may consider not supporting it.

If you have a Linux or Mac system, try using WINE and see. I am considering supporting WINE since it supports NT6 and above (Windows XP is NT5).

Hilariously enough, it was working just fine on Windows 10 until some update Microsoft put out that completely broke all the file selection dialogs. I have a bad feeling about 10. It started out OK but it keeps getting updated to be more and more hideous.


I haven't made any decisions yet and it is too early to do so. Only during testing right now will I recommend at least Windows Vista and above. If this one feature turns out to be the only problem, it might be fixed to support Windows XP after all.

The perceptive among you might see my link and then ask "non-obsolete operating system, what about Android?". That's a good question..

The problem is that somehow your operating system doesn't support getting the current default locale... Which doesn't make sense. It needs to be able to do this so it knows what language the game was originally written in. So if you did write a game in French and hand it to people who have systems in a different language, it can internally and automatically display the French text properly (although I've only tested it with Japanese at the moment).

Which .exe file? What is your operating system version? Are you trying to use this in WINE?

And when you said "but with French" are you telling me your system locale is set to the French language?

Will games made with RPG 20XX allow the developer to reroute the games controls to other buttons on the keyboard?

Yes, but the player will have this ability, not the developer. The player will configure the controls to their liking.

For complex controls (I do not recommend complex controls, but specific game types require them), I'll later add a system that lets you set aliases and defaults. You give an input a "name" and then a default binding(s). Games that re-use the same names can re-use the same player preferences. Altogether this will let players configure once and play always.

Using Ruby Wolf as an example, can we change the "okay" button to something other than "enter", open the menu with something other than the "esc" button, or cancel with something besides "backspace"?

You can also press Z for "okay", TAB for "menu", one of the letter keys also does "menu", X can "cancel".


PS: The website is very slow, but you only click submit once. It will post every time you click submit. They never fixed this bug, its been this way for years.

Ruby Wolf

If you're curious, quick test program is here. It's just a room with 5 gel enemies. You can barely defeat them all, but you might lose sometimes. Next comes the items, and then the other skills and equipment.

It was made out to look like the Game Gear but both the Game Gear and GameBoy have the same resolution (10 tiles wide by 9 tiles). RPG20XX lets you enter your desired game size in tiles (in case you had 32x32 scale assets instead of 16x16).

Just wondering if we could get some larger images to check out, since the ones shown are really small (I can't read the menu very well at all).


You don't have a magnifier in your browser? I'm kind of a purist when it comes to screenshots; that they have the original resolution and that they be in a lossless format (PNG).

Of course, when playing the actual game it will let you set the scaling from 1x 2x 3x or 4x (it defaults to 2x).
