RPG Maker XP. All Discussions. If I have a font I've downloaded and am now using in the game, what do I have to do to make that font automatically load for someone who plays the game on another computer that doesn't have the font file installed? There's an auto-install script for fonts. I've never used it though: https://github.com. The Ultimate RPG MAKER for Windows!

RPG MAKER lets you create an original role-playing game without any specialized knowledge or training. RPG MAKER™ XP has an outstanding level of freedom even compared to the other titles in the series.

Easy To Use

You might think it's hard to make great games, but it's a breeze when you use RPG MAKER XP. First, make a map that will serve as the stage for your adventure, then set up your heroes, enemy monsters, items, magic-everything you need for a good RPG creation. Finally, create some events and place them around the map, and your very own RPG is complete. Map making is simple and easy when you have tiles to work with! You can even use ready-made graphics for heroes and monsters, so all you have to do is give them stats and a names.

Effortless Event Creation

Townspeople, dungeons, treasure chests, boss battles - all of the things that help develop an RPG's story can be created through events. You'll find a wide array of events stored under Event Commands, from simple text and graphic displays to variable-wrangling technical tricks. Just select a series of commands and you've created an event. You can even find clever ways of stringing together these commands for more sophisticated events-or sneak in a trap or two.

Share Your Games

Save your completed game as a game disk and you can burn it onto a CD-ROM to give to your friends or distribute it over the Internet for other gamers to enjoy. You can even market your creations as shareware.

RPG MAKER XP is full of the functions you've been asking for, including game data encryption and a scripting feature that lets you change the very heart of the RPG MAKER engine. By improving the operating environment, the program can now provide support for a full-colour display and greatly enhanced graphic capabilities.

Powered Up Graphics

The game screen has been expanded to 640x480 pixels, much larger than previous RPG MAKER titles. With support for PNG full-colour mode and alpha channel, you can adjust the settings for graphic translucency as well as specify the transparent colour. Plus, there are now three map layers instead of just two, allowing you to create even more complex maps.

New Battle Scene Layout

The new battle scene layout is a front view with the enemy monsters facing the screen. A great new feature is the ability to display graphics of the characters in the status window at the bottom of the screen. These graphics are completely customizable.

Enhanced File Handling

RPG MAKER XP allows you to encrypt your completed game data. Since all of your individual pieces of data are combined into a single file, you'll be able to keep your source data safe from prying eyes.

RPG MAKER XP comes complete with tons of sample data, including graphics for characters, monsters, map tiles, magic effects, battles, and more. You'll never have to draw a single pixel if you use these ready-made materials to create your own RPG masterpiece. Of course, you can also create your own unique graphics for games. RPG MAKER XP supports the PNG graphic format as well as MIDI, WAV, and Ogg Vorbis sound formats, making it easy to include your own original data.

RPG MAKER XP features a front-view, turn-based battle system. In this edition, the hero's party members show up on-screen right there with the enemies. This new setup allows you to apply battle animations and various graphical special effects not only to enemies, but to protagonists as well. Pillars of flame filling the screen, lightning striking the party members - never before have battles been this spectacular!

Various RPG MAKER XP functions, from character parameters to the battle system, are created via programs called scripts. RPG MAKER XP is equipped with the Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS), based on the Ruby language and customized especially for this program. By editing these RGSS scripts, you are free to change or add to any of RPG MAKER XP's functions. Think of it as taking a peek into the engine of RPG MAKER XP and tinkering around with what's inside. Since RGSS is very similar to a programming language, it may take some time to master. Once you've mastered these scripts however, you'll not only be able to edit menu screens and the battle system but you'll also be able to create your very own event commands. Though this feature is geared toward expert users, becoming familiar with it will allow RPG creation with more complex and engaging games.

RPG Maker VX is a powerful engine, and the thing that makes that engine powerful is RGSS2. All RPG Maker VX games run on RGSS2, which is a scripting language that uses the Ruby programming language. Today, I’m going to explain a little bit about how to take advantage of this powerful tool.

Now, I know what you are thinking, “I don’t know how to program! How am I supposed to make a script!”. Well, the good thing is that in most cases you won’t have to. The RPG Maker user base has a huge amount of coders in it, and they make premade scripts to be inserted into a game. You can search around on the net for scripts made to do any number of things.

To explain how to use this, let’s assume you want to have your characters heal their HP and MP on a level up. If you look through the database, you will quickly find there is no way to do this! That is where my good friend Jet will come in. He has made a short script titled Level Up Effects. You can grab it in a text file below (you can also visit his thread on rpgmakervx.net which contains a massive number of small scripts using the source thread button).







Now that you have the script we use, lets learn how to put it into your project.

Mode 7 Philadelphia

1. First open the script editor.

   You have three options for getting there. You only need to use one. No reason to get carried away.

2. You will see an intimidating amount of text. Don’t be scared. We won’t be touching most of it. Scroll down the list on the left of all scripts in the project. Right click where it appropriately says ( Insert here ) and select Insert.
3. Select the blank script are you inserted and type the name of your script in the Name: box.

   Since we are using Jet's Level Up Effects in this tutorial, name it Jets LUEffects (Hey, its almost like this script stuff makes sense)

4. Select all of the text in the script linked above, and then paste it into the large box on the right side of the script editor (make sure the correct script is selected in the left box).
5. Now that you have your script in the editor, lets read the instructions that are contained in it. Instructions will be written in comments, which are specially marked part of the script that the game will ignore when it is running. They will appear as green text in the editor. Instructions will generally contain how to adjust parts of the script to get what you want it to do. Always read all instructions in a script. Ignore them at your own peril.
6. So we have the script in the editor, we need to set it to do what we wanted to originally. We were trying to make characters heal to full hp/mp at level up. So lets go through and turn ON that option in the script, and turn off any other. When reading the instructions you will notice that HP/MP max on level up is already on, so we just need to turn OFF other options. Read the instructions on how to do this. The image below shows what needs to be changed.
7. TEST YOUR GAME AND MAKE SURE IT WORKS!

• Make sure to check the instructions of a script for any incompatibilities. Meaning two scripts that will not work together.
• Check to make sure you insert the script in the proper place based on the instructions
• ALWAYS CREDIT YOUR SCRIPTS. These guys do a lot of work to give you more options, give them some love too, put them in your game credits. (This goes for all resources)
• If you are working on a commercial game (a game you plan to sell), make sure the script is allowed to be used in commercial products. Most scripts made are for noncommercial use only, but you can always contact the script creator to attempt to work out some sort of deal to use it legally in your game. (This also goes for all resources)
