RPG Maker 2000 Value! Is now out in English!

A small bump. Looks like there is not much hype about this release in RMN. Maybe the RPG Maker MV effect.

Does anybody know when the RTP will be available for download?

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Open source tools: LMU2PNG, XYZ2PNG, LCF2XML

author=Giznads
I downloaded both of these, and neither of them ran. :/
I'm not sure if there's a special way to go about executing these or not, if so, I'm unable to figure it out.

They are command line tools, you need to run them from a "cmd.exe" window. If you simply run them from the application icon they won't do nothing.
The xyz2png should work by dropping xyz files onto the executable icon directly. It won't show any output, just new png files.

I would like to create a graphic user interface for them, to make them easier to use for end users.

Thanks, as the forum suggests about it, some of the these apps need some polishing. LCF2XML is already submitted, other will be added too once stabilized.

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Open source tools: LMU2PNG, XYZ2PNG, LCF2XML

LMU2PNG: tool to render a MapXXXX.lmu into a PNG file, including lower, upper and event-as-tile layers (exclusive feature!).

Syntax: lmu2png MapXXXX.lmu chipsetfile.png output.png. Known bug: the PNG ChipSet file must have PNG transparency, it is not reading the transparent index 0 as RPG Maker does yet. Another bug: tile transition between deep ocean and sea water is currently missing.

Download for Windows

XYZ2PNG: command line tool to mass convert XYZ files into PNG.

The app supports wildcards (xyz2png *.png) and multiple drag and drop selection to the executable icon (except folders yet). Useful to do fast game self-spoilers and other. Missing: PNG2XYZ reverse conversion is not done yet.

Download for Windows

LCF2XML: tool to convert MapXXXX.lmu, RPG_RT.ldb, RPG_RT.lmt and SaveXX.lsd into a more human readable format (XML) and vice-versa.

Useful for game data analysis, savegame cheating and such.

Download for Windows

RPG Maker 2000 Value! Is now out in English!

Sadly, official English RTP file names are different in 2000 and 2003 RTPs. This can't be fixed, both have been released already.

This means if you want to port your game from RPG Maker 2000 to RPG Maker 2003 will have to fix by hand all broken dependencies, because RTP ones will be broken.

All names are compatible in the original Japanese version.

I'm adding these new file names to the EasyRPG Player RTP file name conversion table for compatibility between legacy RTPs for RTP-dependent games.

A tech question: are 2000 RTP names compatible with 2003 RTP for project conversion as the Japanese version do?

If I own a license to the program, can I edit the RTP and use it in my commercial game?

Yes, but only from them.

SO, it's basically a multi platform and free? Whoa!
Any drawbacks?


Well, it is not feature complete (yet). But it is near beta quality so far.

After I downloaded it, it says that when I opened it, I was missing data files. What does that mean?


You might need to install RTP if the warning message says it (on Windows).
If you get a "couldn't find database file" then you need to place the executable in the game folder (it does not feature a game browser yet).

[RM2K3][RM2K] Battle Self-destruction formula? [SOLVED]

thanks bulmabriefs144. The formula was kindly provided by Bugmenot yesterday on German forums. The effect seems to work like a normal attack but with 100% effectiveness.
