Forum Updates Happening

Thank you.

My last post mentioned that RPG Maker Central went under another banner, that of RPG Maker VXAce.
I used the Internet Archive and visited the site in order to acquire what remained, primarily to go through the pages of its own 'Completed VX Scripts' board to obtain the URL addresses of every topic I could acquire, and hopefully then acquire and safeguard each script.

Alas, of the thirty odd pages worth of script topics, many of the pages themselves were broken. What would have been nearly one thousand topics dwindled greatly to less than half. Then it was quickly noticed that topics reappeared on multiple pages. A script entitled "FModEx" by Nagato Yuki appeared on five different pages alone. And with that, the list dwindled down to less than two-hundred.

But then was time to sift through the URLs acquired and to see what content was able to be saved.

There were a good number of scripts that did survive the transition from RPG Maker VXAce to RPG Maker Central, and those I didn't need to repost. So removing those from the list was fine.

But sadly, there were many topics that did not. And of the url addresses/paths that the Internet Archive recoded within the great list, the Internet Archive failed to acquire half of the topics themselves... thus the list shrunk all the more. And of those that remained, many hosted their works on sites that refused the Internet Archive access, so many a number of scripts were lost.

In truth, only twenty six of the estimated nine-hundred script topics from RPGMakerVXAce could be salvaged.

But salvaged they were, and now within the RMC Archive.

Ooh, a side note. RPG Maker VXAce did have a board for RPGMaker VX scripts, but apparently no one posted within. Rather humorous as there were three VX scripts salvaged that were posted under the RMC banner.
