Coming back to RPGMaking after 20 years (/thread-10953.html)Coming back to RPGMaking after 20 years - aabb821 - 11-19-2024
Hi! I recently purchased a copy of RPGMXP on Steam out of nostalgia, and I've since been diving into my old projects.
Used to be a member on Creation Asylum (I can't even remember my old username there) so I was quite sad to learn that it's gone.
I hope I can make a new home here! I love that there are still Ruby scripts being made for XP, as that is my preferred platform.
I hope I can eventually get access to view the older scripts, so I can update some of my older projects.

*HOWUU* (Translation from Lycan: EWelcome, Blast from the Past)
I bet you're also surprised that our forum created an archive devoted to the resources of Creation Asylum. Dube made me a mod in during the last months, knowing I was present a lot... and was active in archiving it for posterity.
Perhaps one of the resources or scripts within may jog your memory as to your old username.

Blast from the past, indeed! It's been a long time since I was active, and honestly the old username isn't so important to me. I'm just excited to tinker with RMXP again!

Thank you so much!
It's really neat. I had given up on an old project from 2004 because my old game exe stopped working when I made the switch to Windows 7, and the same went for Windows 10, so I just kept the game stored away.Then, one day on a whim I thought of looking up RMXP, and was surprised to see it working on Steam. So I bought a new license, and was elated when it ran on Win10. So happy at the nostalgia! I'm going to try and finish this little game up and surprise some friends that had forgotten about it as well.

With a few 'hiccups' such as no Win32API support, Kyonides has his "Hidden Chest" executable project... an open-source replacement for Game.Exe that is 64-bit.
Still need to use the game editor, but the Exe works relatively fine for XP, VX and Ace.

That's awesome! I really love that XP is still getting love. So far the Steam version (and the new DLL files) appears to work, but once I get the game ready for my friends and it doesn't work for my beta tester, I'll give Hidden Chest a look!
