Define what resources you're looking for.  Resources are just art, so it could be a measure of conversion. 

Besides, they 'want' you to convert to the next system... whatever system it is for $$$....

And while MV/MZ  (avoid MZ) supports Mobile, I haven't seen any RPGMaker mobile games really hit.

And it took NO TIME at all to make a Drive Listbox with Ruby with the supplied code!

Basically, the ComboBox is the parent-class of this widget. Heh. There's no need to remake the wheel, right?

But I need to set CONFIGS for all the content. That, and cleanup.

Features I think to add:
  • Check Listbox -- A listbox where you can check two or more items
  • Directory Listbox -- For navigating through the folders/directories in the current drive
  • File Listbox -- For selecting a specified file

Not exactly true, green mantis. There's Kokoro Reflections out there that offers 32px and 48px tilesets. Yeah, the resources are automatically compatible with VX ACE and MV (and MZ with caveats AFAIK) but XP doesn't stop you from mixing tilesets. Of course, you'll have to manually edit your resources to make them fit the XP formats but you should be used to it after making such large maps for years! Just take a look at my dungeon screenshots with a Painter custom dark tileset and XP's default lava autotile.

should i do MV or MZ? I want to be able to send this out on mobile once it's done.

I don't think it's necessary to start over in newer RPG Makers, when you already invested alot of time in your XP project. Alot of newer VX/MV styled ressources can also be used in XP with a little bit editing and I think XP still has the most ressources and scripts out there out of all RPG Makers. With MKXP or some of it's forks you can even run your game in higher resolutions and with better performance and the map editor of RMXP is still the best there is. :)
There are alot of working character makers for XP, I could send you one, if you want.

If you do decide to move on over to a newer engine, I heavily recommend MV in favor of MZ.

Resources for a game maker...  When they made RPGMaker VX and changed their design for the characterset and tileset, I knew that thier intent was to force users away from the previous engine to the newer and force them to invest in new graphics.  With every iteration, the developer will force change.  And I cannot foresee that trend stopping.

Resources are out there, as Melana pointed out. Otherwise, one could find someone to do artwork for you if you don't change or learn stills to develop the art yourself.  As to the character creator tool, I wonder if my Spritesheet Generator could assist.  The package is set for Half Kaisers. But with some effort, it could use RTP graphics... changing certain files to conform to the 4x4 format.

Think it would take me long to begin work on a folder listbox after creating a drive listbox?

* the return of Ryoko

The list is generated in-game (if it can be called a 'game' at this point), though I don't have any mechanics apart from the initial creation process.  No click-navigation through the folders as yet, nor change based upon what drive is accessed.

But that will be coming.

So despite having a sverely terrible cold I still manage to be productive and did a bunch of rewriting to flavor text I wasn't happy with. So here is that.

This thumbnail definitely does not foreshadow nothing!

And here's a couple more examples, these are only a small sample of the huge amount of modifications, they aren't even the funniest.



I also went and fixed the skedaddle animation for Sacreblu to not ever extend beyond the borders of the battle arena, which uh... took some good (40 minutes) time to fix something that shouldn't have been there in Demo 3's release at all, woops! No way to really show this in action so just trust me, it works now.

I also added some conversations on the Starship between Svana and various other characters after retrieving her from Byteopia.

OH GOD HER PLACEHOLDER PORTRAIT IS SO BAD GOD DAMN IT.

Right, which reminds me, I have something to confess.

I LIED TO YOU!

Because Pjcr accidentally lied to me because he has a cat emoji in place of a brain.

might be *slightly* doctored!

But the good news is one among the babylon whores is back.
[Image: y7LvuML.png]
Yeah that's right, in this completely undoctored log we see Xiie is back, and unlike 3d women, this 2d whore of babylon comes bearing love and also gifts.
[Image: 56kHgL3.png][Image: 6zV9Owe.png][Image: zlkPiF2.png]
More are on the way, but suffice to say, Xiie is back.

So remember when I said?

Remi from the recent past. Wrote:"This thumbnail definitely does not foreshadow nothing!"

Well, it turns out, that foreshadowed that I LIED again. Kind of.

Pjcr won't be making his trip until next month, but he did get me some files.
[Image: 92uZXCv.png]
We have all the Mad E. Lin portraits. These were the final three.

In slightly lesser news, I did an update on Saga of the Starchaser to fix the audio levels to not surpass the db threshold, added some sound effects and text for comedic / epic purposes.

So if you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you do now!

Of interest is that there are quotes featured from Kain Nobel, Steelbeats, Starmage, RiseDemos, Jayray and probably more I forgot.

@Kasper, I'd recommend you to follow DerVVulfman and Remi-chan's advices and choose MV if you opt to move to another engine.

@Remi-chan: I'm liking this video avatar much more than the rather spastic herky-jerky vtuber that I recall form previous entries. Significantly more hilarious as well. Also, I'm glad my encouragement was useful.

Those insulting messages, though. "A bunch of jealous losers" indeed.

Actually, it's now a moot point as I was just given a heads up by Bounty Hunter Lani.  So....

[Image: attachment.php?aid=1989]

My recent duties ... and I do mean as duties... have delayed work on my widgets.  I will look to find some tome soon to continue on them.

The vtuber also cost 100 dollars more, ha ha~!

Though using the chibi is a lot more effort.

A funny note on the insulting messages, the majority of them are from two of my more notorious haters, one doesn't even hate me anymore, the other does but he keeps far away from me as I went to town on him after he made a personal dispute very much a public one due to him being an insecure manchild who couldn't stand the fact I call his opinions white noise.

There are also a couple just pulled from one-shot sillies I've had post at me on places over the years who I dunno who they even are or what i did to upset them, but the message was too funny to not have a giggle at.

I have very few outspoken haters all things considered. A lot of the people who start out disliking me end up being cool with me later when they figure me out. It helps I also just have a very charismatic personality online, so most of the people who claim to hate me barely know a thing about me, such as Celianna and other sillies i won't name because I don't want people going after them. I've already made it clear to the haters I do have that I won't tolerate abuse and am very good at heavy-handedly dealing with people who go out of their way to make themselves my enemy. I don't want to entangle people in these obnoxious battles more than tends to happen already.

I like to spread community awareness of Celianna and her bratty narcissistic hypocritical bullshit because I don't want her hurting more people as she did me. My other haters are a basically just funny idiots who got way too serious about trying to bring me down a peg before realizing I'm a living cyclone who can and will choose violence if you give me justification. I've been dealing with toxic garbage dumpsters masquerading as people for over ten years now and I've become frighteningly efficient at it.

Even the less tactful people on this forum are just fun to mess with, and I don't have any real animosity towards them. After the kinda shitshows I've been in the little spats i have with people here and there are almost disappointingly mild.

OKAY! So what have I been doing?

Well, I implemented the portraits for Mad E. Lin both in Flight and Fantasia, and added some more scenes in Fantasia for mad if you wanna waste time exploring Spriteopia between each major story beat. I also re-wrote quite a few existing scenes to be more in character, seeing as I had a good chance to get to know Mad E. Lin better while writing Flight.

Here's a video of that!

But that isn't all I did!

I also recently published an updated video of this fight since the HUD and much more has been updated.

I also noticed that the MASH notification window was being hidden behind the voice-over boxes, I've relocated it on my end to somewhere less obscured.

My god though, what a truly intimidating boss fight. I did really well in this play-through, too!

I am wondering how the RPG Maker series is going to continue after this Unite disaster.
Another full priced MV DLC? Or something completely new? Or will they stick with MZ from now on?
