WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!

I am so excited! I have now got myself a working computer and better yet, it has internet! Finally I can use my RPG maker XP.

Qustion about sprite making.

So, I found myself putting together character sets for a zelda game I hope to make once my computer is working again, and I come across a problem. Because the sprites are ripped fro a zelda game, the sizes differ to a certain degree. The walking sprites worked just fine, but when I put him in with the boomerang...


it intersects with the next border. I have already made the walking sprite, so I don't want to make the boomerang or sword sprite smaller. Otherwise link will shrink everytime he attacks. I was wondering if there is any way around this problem, or am I going to have to resize the other sprites to make them smaller, thus making them fit with the attacking sprites?

Problem accessing site at school

Considering that winter has come and it is cold outside, I have recently been going into the computer lab at my school during lunch hours. Everything works fine, I am actually posting this from school right now. However, any time I go from the forums to, say, the homepage, or games page, it logs me out. So I click login, and fill it all out, and it brings me back to forums. In plain and simple, I can't use the home page or games page from school, it considers me to not be logged in, unless I am in the forums. Is this fixable?

What do YOU want for christmas?

Well, it's a little early, but I figured I would start it now, so, what have you been thinking of? here's a small list of things on my master list:
  • Cellphone
  • Electronic Keyboard (hopefully with midi support)
  • Electric Drumkit
  • Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii
  • Assassins creed (IF I get a system that has it)
  • New computer/laptop
  • Books by Terry Goodkind (good fantasy reads.)
  • Risk the board game!
Anyway, there's a small amount of my main list,so, what about you?

EDIT: Why did it go down so far?

Need Resources? Visit Here!

First off, I'd like to quickly state that credit is always a good thing, and it is important to try and give credit to as many reources used as you can.

This article is a guide to finding you resources, and it will also teach you how to make your own resources too. so let's get started.

RESOURCE LINKS:
Here are some links that I have always found helpful

www.charas-project.net :Very good resource site with their own character and face creator, always good to visit.
www.phylomortis.com/ : Very quick to use reource site with resources very well organized.
http://uiv2.com/index.php : I don't use this one much, as it is slightly harder to navigate, but still a good site.
http://www.phanxgames.com/index.asp :I believe this site to be a MUST visit, as it is incredibly useful, they have tons of custom made resources and tutorials etc.
http://www.gaminggroundzero.com/home.html : Many games and resources, very easy to browse, but slightly time consuming.
http://www.blade2k.net/ : This one has quite a database, but yet again, slightly more time consuming to use.
http://www.vgmusic.com/ : For all your videogame music needs. Only downside is that every song must be downloaded one at a time.
midishrine.com/ : I found this better than VG music because music can be quickly downloaded in zips from any of your favorite games.
http://www.videogamesprites.net/ : These are oldskool game sprites, however, they are not formatted for rpgmaker, so you would have to do that yourself
http://www.rpg-palace.com/ : This site seems slightly more XP oriented, but definatly check out the utility section, very useful.
www.rm2k3.venajugar.com - Suggested by Mantlecore, looks really good.

One other resource I would like to mention, but could not put a link to (because all the sites seemed to have links to downloading RPG maker cracks, which this site does not support) is facemaker. It should come up on Google, and it is an amazing tool. Look for facemaker 32, it is all japanease, but it's very simple to figure out.

That's all I will give for now, but if you ever need anything, please PM me, and I can find it for you. Now, on to...

MAKING RESOURCES
First of all, I must state that all images must be indexed colours, and must be non-interlaced PNG format.

Here is how to make your own images
1. Download a template if you need one (Search "Template" on charas, they come up...
2.Draw your picture in your favorite program, on the template if you're using one.
3.Index the colours to 256
4.Save the image as a nno-interlaced PNG
5.Go into RPG maker, and import the resource with the raw resource handler

NOTE: All resources have different dimensions that the images must be, for instance, a title needs to be 320 x 240, but a chipset needs to be 480 x 256, once again, go to charas, and you can find all the proper dimensions for the images by browsing the sections and looking at the dimensions of resources. The only two that don't need specific dimensions are 1. Pictures and 2.Monsters.

As for making your own sound effects, Gold wave is a great tool that is easy to use, and it has a HUGE demo time. Midis you can download Mid creator, or I've also heard of a program called fruityloops.

There you have it, get out there and start making and downloading your own resources, custom out that old RTP.

Any questions, PM me

Final Destiny !!!-=Looking for help=-!!!

I am looking for any help on my project Final Destiny. The rpg maker link is here: http://www.rpgmaker.net/games/254/

If you want to help in any way please post here. Mostly I am looking for Artists for things like:

+ Battle animations
+ Weapons
+ A title screen would be nice
+ Character sets (mostly just objects)
+ Faces and Characters (have to have both, also, I need the faces to be done with the latest facemaker)

The other thing I need is music and MAYBE sound, but I would love CUSTOM music in my game (I already have more than 3000 non custom song)

Any support of my game would also be well thanked, and creative ideas would also be nice.

Thanks for reading!

Another Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to make your own weather effects in rpg maker 2000 or 2003? I know how to do my own clouds/fog, but can I make my own rain, etc?

Please support my site!

Hopefully the admins don't get mad about this, but I would like to get some traffic going at my site, and this is the right audience to tell about it. Please visit www.freewebs.com/myersguy/ or www.rpgnetwork.tk and do whatever is available to support the site. It is still under construction for sure, but I thought I would get a site up. Soon there will be absolutely TONS of resources on the site. To any admins reading this, I was wondering if I could get an affiliate. If all works well, hopefully my crummy site will begin getting some traffic.

Wondering question!!!

I keep seeing this in screen shots,and so I have become curious. How do you make the title screen options (such as new game, load game, and quit) end up off to the side of the screen. I have never found an option in RPG maker 2003 to let me do this, but I always see it. Please SOMEONE REPLY!
