Okay, the old thread was all cluttered and a complete mess. I felt it was time for a change. This time with rules to keep everything in order.

What is allowed in this thread:
-Requesting for somebody to post a chip/charset or other resources that can be ripped straight from games.
-Requesting a tutorial or where to find them
-Asking how to to perform 'simple' actions
-Asking where to get certain programs to help with your game making ie Sprite Converter
-Asking for help when your code isn't working correctly

What isn't allowed in this thread:
-Requesting somebody to custom make a chip/charset for you
-Asking how to make a CBS, CMS, Pokedex etc
-Asking for someone to give you one of the above
-Requesting warez
-Asking for someone to post their own code

When you're asking for help, go into as much detail as possible when describing what the problem is or what you want to know. There's nothing worse than trying to help someone when they've only given a brief description. If you can't be bothered to explain thoroughly, don't expect people to bother to reply.

And remember, no asking for custom stuff. Those requests never get replied to and just clog up the thread.

I will try to edit this post with the most common questions and answers to prevent people asking/requesting the same stuff time and time again.

And any posts that don't stick to these rules will be deleted. Let's see if this makes the thead more manageable.

w00t! A new and clean thread. XD

These answers are quoted from the old one. :)

On RMXP,when i opened my project, my maps were suddenly an extremely small size on every map(20 x 15?) as a default for every project and every chipset. i know i can change size under map properties but that didnt work too well so is there any way i can change the defualt size back to normal? And i wasnt on 1/2 or 1/4 of the map by the way it was 1/1.
You mean default or your already made maps? If default, it's meant like that.

I want to make a game with RMXP but I do not understand a thing about it do you have any tutorials that will show me?
Try www.rmxp.net or its forums. Maybe as well as www.dubealex.com (and it's forums).

EDIT: Lol, you added the links on the first post XD

I'll ask this again now there is a new thread: Does anyone have a harry potter charset, chipset, and/or a set of monsters. I don't care what platform, but i would prefer GB.

I cringe at things I've said here in the past years.

How can I put the font black instead of white?
Change the window base color to black (0,0,0,0 ... I think)

In your Window_Base script, find ...

def normal_color
return Color.new(96, 96, 96, 255)
end
and change the numbers. (I'm assuming black is 255,255,255,255)

I need help, whenever I use the input name command on RMXP then all the letters go invisible, I've tried editing the script but that doesn't work, can someone help me?:(
What you need to do is go to Windows_Base in the scripts and look at line 79 it should look like..
return Color.new(255, 255, 255, 255)
change it to.
return Color.new(10, 5, 10, 255)
What this will do is change the color of the text to black so the text will be visible or you can change the window skin to a more darker skin.



New Djinn, New Heros, New Lighthouses, New Adepts, New Psynergy, The same bad guys. Coming soon Golden Sun Scars of Time! Will you journey with the heros? Or walk in the path of Saturos and Miniradi?Note game will progress very slowly and might be cancled to continue pokemon lost era.

actually, jeff,
def normal_color
return Color.new(96, 96, 96, 255)
end
this color is black / grey :P
(0,0,0,255) would be 100% black

Okay, so i have a problem with my game. I use Pokemon tilesets, and I add some into the background, but then, white things appear, and I do not know how to remove them O.o

Screeny: http://images.mihopa.com/images/logins/Kira/73549752.jpg

Oh, and one more question, how do you make someone go from one map to another, like a switch?
And, when I add a building, the character can walk on it. I would like it to be un-walkable, how to make that?
And, How do add Sprites, not yours, some other peep, to the map,
And, how do you make the conversation between them both?

I hope somebody can answer my questions, maybe not all at once...

er...for the sprites and convos,use events.
as for the buildings,go to the database and go to the tileset your using and make sure that the tiles of the building are on X
And now for the cerimonial banging of the plastic toys!

Oh, and one more question, how do you make someone go from one map to another, like a switch?
those are teleports. You make a new event, insert a command; teleport command, choose a map, and an X-Y Coordinate, or a tile on the map.
Also, to make the person touch the event and teleport, set its Trigger to "On Hero Touch".

And, when I add a building, the character can walk on it. I would like it to be un-walkable, how to make that?
Go to your Database, Tileset editor, you will see "x" and "o"s, toggle between them to give the desired effect.

x: Unwalkable
o: walkable

And, How do add Sprites, not yours, some other peep, to the map,
If you mean "Characters", those are handled by events, just click on the white box in the event editor (the smaller one) Choose a character.

And, how do you make the conversation between them both?
Using the good 'ol message command :)
Insert new command >> Message, type in whatever, Ok. Then, run the game

I hope I helped ^-^
