[RM2K3] Map tree/database corrupted?

Hi Common,

What you are referring to is the database, the data for which is not stored in the .lmt file, but the .ldb file (easy to remember, since "mt" stands for "maptree" and "db" stands for "database"). Both are called "RPG_RT", so you need to pay attention to the extension at the end there.

You need to copy over the RPG_RT.ldb as well, from the most recent version of your game that you have.

If you want to go to heaven, make sure you're at least level 65 because the monsters in that area are BRUTAL

I love the hellish and alien depictions of angels' true forms.

Amazing... He was coding commercial software by 20 years old.

The comments that we read in the default RGSS code scripts are probably his.

Ocean! I've added some custom stuff but none of it's in this shot

I know that you're all about the gameplay aspect, but have you thought about tackling the interface design challenges too? (The resolution is way too big for the Game Boy, which would force you to reorganize how all of the data is presented to the player in that much-smaller space. It would even influence the map design, since the player couldn't see as far.)

Is Trump even Human?

Half of the reason that people voted for Trump in the first place was because he represented an unknown quality. People were (and still are) sick of everyday political mire, so they needed a fresh prospect.

Well, that prospect turned out to be not so good. It was a breath of air, but not fresh air.

As annoying as it is to go back to the way we were before, the air is more fetid than ever. We should at least get Trunp out of the White House. Like, we need to tackle the dialysis before we can get to the kidney transplant.

Super wish there was a way to do color cycling in RPG Maker. What a shame!

Unfortunately, there is no built-in palette animation, but it's reasonable to do if you're emulating an old-enough system that has few colors. It's a bit of work, though.

In one of the RGSS makers, you have to make each sprite a portion of the sprite that has its own color. This is easy with GameBoy or NES sprites (3 colors, plus that invisible background color which doesn't count). Then, you give them the same dimensions and put them all in the same place, so the sprite is really a bunch of separate sprites, each with their own color. Then, you give the sprite its own homemade palette data and just cycle those sprites' colors according to the palette data. (Or, you can cycle the palette data itself and just update each part's respective color.)

In the 320x240 makers, it's more difficult, because there's no .color attribute. You have to jump through more event command hoops. But I think it's still possible. Using the "Color" property in the Move Picture settings is awkward, though. And you have to keep track of which color settings you're using.

The thing is, a SEGA Genesis could usually only display 61 colors on screen.
My game has even more on screen than the SNES could do.
Actually, if anything, i'd say it looks like a SEGA Saturn game.
Ever seen keio flying squadron 2? .. to quote tophat gaming man on youtube "Yyyyyeahhhhhhh". lol >_<


I can understand wanting to emulate older game systems' constraints, because it's a lot of fun to work around the limits. (Currently doing a Master System RPG myself.) But it might be too much to try to emulate the hardware constraints.

Beyond keeping yourself limited to a certain palette and resolution, there's not much that you can do. It's difficult to even track a situation that would have triggered a real hardware problem like sprite overflow or illegal palettes.

So, keep within the limits that you want, but don't go crazy trying for accuracy. That's been my mantra.

You guys ok with the Corona Virus/covid19?

Fortunately (?) for us, the vast majority of COVID-19 cases go unreported (how do you even know if you have it if you don't get tested?). Here in most of the States, if you have the stereotypical COVID-19 symptoms of dry cough, fever, and aches/pains, you don't get tested, you just assume that you have it and self-quarantine. This keeps the case number total down (guess why... aside from a shortage of tests).

This probably keeps the real death rate around 1-2%, which I still think is unacceptable for a massively-communicated disease, but. No one took it seriously until too late.

It's sad, because we don't need another thing waiting for us, ready to take us out once we age up into the 8-15% death rate bracket. If we even make it that far.

The only thing I don't envy about Canada now are the car insurance rates.

You guys ok with the Corona Virus/covid19?

Yeah, we acted too slowly. Because no one is committed to sealing off huamn movements the world over, simultaneously, for one month, a new infection will always be carrying it into the future. As a result, we will now have to deal with "Influenza Deluxe" for the rest of human history.

One month! All the world needs is one month to starve it, but, we're too impatient as a civiization.

All we need now is a virus that has:

A. A one month incubation rate
B. A 50% mortality rate
C. Increased resistance to heat thanks to global warming, defanging fevers as an effective weapon
D. Aerosol spread

That will be some real carnage.

The one upside of this is what this is going to do to all of the other communicable diseases.

If we're all restricting movement because of COVID-19, that means that the flu, the common cold, and many others aren't going to be able to find new hosts, either.

Or maybe this might be bad, in the long run? Will it pave the way for new zoonoses to make explosive entrances? I wonder where things like whooping cough and chicken pox initially came from.
