HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

[kyonides]

A Quite MIDI-atic BUMP

Well, I had to update this thread because I noticed that MIDI could not be played by the binary executables on Windows due to the lack of a few DLL's. I looked for them and packed them as a single RAR file so you can download it now and uncompress those DLL's in your game folder to enable MIDI playback. Don't forget to get a soundfont before you click on the executable file or else it will ignore all MIDI's you might have collected so far!

By the way, there is a site where a guy uploaded tons of Final Fantasy games MIDI's... How crazy, don't you think?

Edit

There are both 32 and 64 bit versions of the binary executables and dll's for Windows. In Linux case I guess people would prefer to run 64 bit based systems only.

List of All New Features

You may get up to 200 400 weather sprites!

Now scripters should be able to use the module_accessor feature like this:

Code:

module MyModule
 @my_instance_variable = 100
 module_accessor :my_instance_variable
end

Then you should be able to access the instance variable by calling:

MyModule.my_instance_variable

or sets its value with the script call

MyModule.my_instance_variable = 2450

The module_reader and module_writer methods are also available!

Most of the so called new features actually belong to RGSS3, but I preferred to make them available for RGSS1 (XP games) as well. Others are exclusive to HiddenChest!
