HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

Special Update For Retro Gamers

Latest Version: 1.1.57

A new release of your favorite engine HiddenChest has been released today!
Version 1.1.57 now allows you to come up with your own custom solution for changing the current SoundFont during gameplay!  

Step #1 - Create a Custom SoundFont Directory

It should be named Audio/SF2.
Yes, it has to be created in the Audio folder as you might have guessed by now.
It will prepend the SoundFont you defined in the hiddenchest.conf file if there is any at all.  

Step #2 - The Script Call

Just use this script call:

Code:

Setup.choose_soundfont(Index)

...and it will do all the heavy lifting for you.

I might say I got the inspiration after playing a couple of Ys games a couple of months ago. The latest ports allowed you to change the soundfont on the fly or play an OGG or MP3 instead.

Well, this version only handles SoundFonts.
And nope, I'm not planning to include some special OGG or MP3 support to the engine the way those commercial games did.
 No way.

List All of Your Custom SoundFonts

Use one of the following script calls depending on your RPG Maker version:

Code:

puts Setup.soundfonts
print Setup.soundfonts
msgbox Setup.soundfonts

I'm a bit at a loss...

On your main page, you have three sets of download links "For HiddenChest", one for Mediafire, one for Box.net and one for Mega. Mega contains no content at all except the folders themselves, and the binaries/exes within the others are no newer than 2020, even for the Linux editions.

And within your HiddenChest Github, specifically shown as hiddenchest_linux when opened, your section for "mkxp 650px Wide Prebuilt Binaries" brings up 404 pages, and the +800px Wide Prebuilts do not appear to have anything 'compiled' newer than kbuntu2004 20200509 dated May 9, 2020 or win64 20200312 dates March 13, 2020.

I don't see the new, at least insofar as compiled work.

Yeah, I can't blame you for not being able to find any recent binaries.

The thing is that back in the days, Ancurio also had binaries for both Linux and Windows. The reasoning behind it was that it all started as a Linux port of RM games only. Then over 2 years ago, the Linux executables compiled back in 2015 and 2018 suddenly disappeared.

Then around a year ago I noticed that the Windows binaries had also vanished.

The other reason for this gap would be a number of rollbacks I had to perform in the past couple of years, including the one regarding the evented cutscenes. RGSS as a separate component, technically called a source library SO for Linux with no port for Windows version of the engine, also ceased to exist.

Right now the only executables available online are those I had compiled BEFORE I lost my desktop PC during a small fire.

But don't worry, my dear Linuxers!

I have just uploaded the binaries I have compiled on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat.

As a side note, I want to add that the Mega link is useless now. I hated to see how they did not keep my files intact for over half a year so I simply decided for my files to get wiped out automatically by the Mega devs / bots.
