CAPTAINREGAL'S PROFILE

I seen this box to check when uploading a game for it to be just for game testers. How does it work, and does it work.

My Mailbox says I have 1 new message but I don't.

Please no one rip my head off.

I do not get why alot of people here use Rpg maker 2000 and 2003. I stoped gamemaking for about five years because of all the gay crap that comes with rpg maker 2k and 2k3. For example to play 2k games you have to download a font fix. That is what turned me off from 2k. What turned me off of 2003 is that the graphics were so outdated at the time I was using it that anyone who would play my game. Would be disgusted with the visuals they would not even play.

I was so happy when Xp came out I thought my savior had arrived. However I had no idea there was any such thing as scripts. And I hated the frontview battle system and the fact that their was no facesets. So I did not use Xp either. When I got windows Vista I tried to start using Xp. At the time Xp was not compatible with Vista so I gave up on making games again.

Finally when Rpg Maker Vx came out I could stand no more of this so I tried to download it. To must disgust Enterbrain wanted 60 bucks for it. I was pissed and did not understand. The Playstation 2 Rpg Maker was in 3d. Vx was just 2d and for computer and 10 dollars more money.

I gave in the end and bought Vx. Countless hours into making my game later I can say that the purchase was worth it.

When craze brings up that some of us should move on to Xp and Vx some of us say. Its 60 Dollars. When most of us spend that on a new game almost every two months. When everyone here knows they spend more time on Enterbrain's Rpg Makers than any new Xbox game. Rpg Maker 2k and 2k3 are 16 and 19 years old.

Also when do any of you think that Rpg Maker will go 3D.

First off let me say that I bought a Wii as soon as I could when it first came out. And at certain times it has entertained me. However I was Reading an article on Ign that said. Nintendo told gamestop to make self room for a Triple A Nintendo title.
First off WTF the last original game that nintendo came out with was mario galaxy. That was in 2007. Where were the games in 2008? Oh yea in febuary and march. That is over a year without any Triple A title releases. Not even casual Triple A titles. Now the best nintendo can come up with is a straight Wii-Make of the Original punchout? They did not even devolp it. WTF If that was not enough they delayed Wii Sports Resort until July. What the hell has nintendo been doing this whole time. If that was not bad enough the only other game that will come out in 2009 will be in the Winter?
Also the supposed Triple A title is probly Pikmin 3. I am just having a hard time wondering why I even bought a Wii. If nintendo want to cater to the casual crowd that is fine but they don't even put out any games for them.

What does everyone else think. This SHIT is just pissing me off.

I want to change the Color and add an Icon of all my Submenu's in my Menu. Items, Skills, Ect.
However my Bitmap database script only changes the color or adds Icons to things in the data base. My Beastery Script for example is not in the database, so I would have to change the color in the Script now I have seen these commands before the name that goes in to the menu and if you change it it will change color. Is their any other colors you can change it to.

self.contents.font.color = system_color


self.contents.font.color = normal_color


\IC Replaced by the icon with the index n (n = Index of icon in the Iconset).

Here is the Script.
