Forum Updates Happening

[DerVVulfman]

Dear friends.  You didn't think I was done with the RPG Maker Central Archive, did you?

The arduous task of acquiring every salvageable script and plug-in may have been accomplished, but that was but only one facet of the bygone forum. Certainly, one needs to realize that the site also contained resources for both the visual and audio variety that needed to be saved, or their viable posts at the very least.

The population of RPG Maker Central's Resource Center Archive is now well-under-way. And the Audio, 3D Models and 2D Resources sub-forums from the original site have been thoroughly filled.

The audio sub-forum only had a dozen actual resource threads within, and most of those had working links. The 3D Models sub-forum, while having three threads, only one was created to deliver actual content by way of links.

As towards the 2D Resources sub-forum, it boasted twenty eight actual resource, though two of these were by our esteemed Eric Matyas who has matching threads in existence here. Another resource had its links removed because it contained content edited without permission by the original author, a couple of requests threads, and a couple others that had dead links.  But with that said, eighteen fully viable resource threads were saved.

Some of the threads took quite some effort due to their complexity and size. One such thread actually required the poster to make two separate posts just for the size of their posts themselves and RPG Maker Centrals actual character limit per post.

However, with all that, I am not nearly done.  More work is necesary, and within RPG Maker Central's Resource Center archive the RPGMaker forum and its separate subforums need to be recreated.

So I may seem inactive in scripting, be aware that I am very much active in safeguarding what I can for everyone to use and enjoy.

Not the only news of course...   

A while back, our own Scripts Database began the process of subdividing all scripts by their related engines and placing them within their own individual sub-forums.  This a decision and policy so those using a particular engine need not wade through pages of scripts unrelated.

Of that, only a scant twenty scripts sets, topics that contain multiple engines, remain.  In a short time, these will be divided by their original script author in twain. And the endeavor to have just those scripts for one's gaming engine of choice will be complete.
