    Hi Everyone,

    maybe this will be one of the dumbest Questions available, but will aks anyway.
    Yesterday i tried to configure the GitHub Version of Pokémon Essentials V18, forked and cloned the Repo, but then it is necessary to execute the Ruby Script scripts_combine to merge the seperated Scripts in Data back to Scripts.rxdata, if i understood that correctly.
    My Problem now is, how do i execute the script?
    What Tool do you use to execute it? I never coded anything in ruby but in RPG Maker itself, so i havent encountered this situation yet.
    I tried jruby, but was not very successful :D Maybe this is entirely wrong.
    So i decided to embarrass myself and ask you Guys.
    Thanks in advance for any Help!

    Greetings,
    Nik

    You need to install Ruby to execute those files: https://rubyinstaller.org/

    Unless you are packing the scripts inside Scripts.rxdata in order to release your game, I suggest you keep the scripts out of the rxdata file: it's easier to edit them (use Notepad++, it has a search feature that allows you to look for stuff in multiple files) + it's easier to update them from the Github.
     
    Ah, so the single files are useable as they are?
    Sorry, i didnt even tested that.
    Nice to know, thank you too!
     
    I was trying to think of how to phrase what StCooler put really nicely.
    I use Atom to edit the decompiled scripts. This has the advantage of being able to load all of the scripts in the Scripts folder at once + the UI is really nice (it looks more akin to the script editor in RMXP than Notepad++ anyway).

    Yes you can open the single files, as they are nothing more than text files ^^
    In the Github repo, the file Scripts.rxdata contains a script that loads everything from the Script folder everytime you run the game. The error messages work similarly, the right line number is given, this is really cool.

    I'm a Notepad++ advocate :P
    As someone with an experience in programming, I have so many IDE's that now I won't bother install something language-specific. I like having a fast, light and general editor like this ^^
    The editor in RPG Maker is a pain to use though, it lacks so many functionalities and I don't understand how the other scripters do with it (by the time they write one function, they already hate programming I guess!).
     
    If you're already comfortable using one bit of software or another, then of course it makes sense to stick with that. I take no issue with that. For those who aren't familiar with any one software, then having a list of options to try out is always healthy.

    I fully agree with you, StCooler, on the RMXP script editor. It is very clunky, but I suppose that's what you get when using old software. XD
