New Methods to Extend RMXP's RTP selections? - Kain Nobel - 09-01-2014
Hello and good day!
So, with changes to the RPG Maker XP DRM, the registry keys for the RTP install have changed as well - this is a problem, as all my project builds require the patented Kain Nobel RTP, but it's not signed into the registry the same way.
I'm not looking in the registry right now, installing another program, but the old method used to do something like...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Enterbrain/RPGXP/
and it was a simple entry, something like...
...RGSS/Standard #=> "C:/Program Files/Common Files/Enterbrain/RPGXP/RGSS/Standard/"
then you could add your own key, like how I did mine...
...RGSS/Kain Nobel #=> "C:/RMXP/Kain Nobel/"
...RGSS/Others #=> "C:/RMXP/Others/"
But now, when I look through the registry, the only reference I see is within uninstall information, there doesn't appear to be a designated place for extended RTP entries. Is it maybe encoded into a binary file or something? Even then, how the hell would I search THAT?!
Is there a new method now to extend the RTP entries? Can you just not do that with the new version of RMXP at all now? Changing the DRM is cool, whatever, but they shouldn't have touched the RTP install :|
I might experiment within the following weeks to see if I can find a new method to extending the RTP entries, but I figured I'd ask around before messing with the registry.
EDIT: So tonight I've been tampering with the registry, but nothing has worked yet. The *old* method to do this is posted here, but it seems to be obsolete with the new install style.

Okay, wow, just... WOW. I figured it out lol. Yes, wow. Matter of fact, in Windows 7, it's actually now under...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Enterbrain/RGSS/RTP
It shouldn't have taken me THAT long to have figured that one out, but I've been under a lot of stress lately so... but now I've got my 3 RTPs all registered, YAY!!!
Yup, this is solved, thank you Kain for helping me out with this!
