  1. :unsure: Hello!

    I'm currently working on my first game. That I hope to have it out some time in October, I'm taking my time on it. But I have so many questions and very little answers! So I decided to ask you guys. I would appreciate some help and pointers.

    1) When you draw your own sprites how do you import/usable in RPG VX ACE?

    2) I've noticed a lot of Designers are showing everyone their wonderful work. I'm blown away by how they show and represent their creation. Like the pictures and videos in their own forums. How do I do that?

    How do I show it off all on the same forum?....Noob I know...

    3) How do you create your own scripts?
  2. 1) Read the instruction manual (F1) for specifics. You can import resources by clicking the Resource Manager button in the toolbar, or pressing F10.

    2) Print Screen button = screen shot. Paste into your art program of choice (Paint, etc.)

    3) Learn Ruby, a programming language.
  3. Please be careful where you make your posts. These questions have nothing to do with commercial game development, so I'm moving it to another forum.

    1) You need to read up on some tutorials. The Help file that comes with VX Ace includes instructions on how to get your own graphics into the game. Ace has a resource manager that you can use to import sprites.

    2) They upload their images/videos, then they add a link to them in their threads.

    3) Ace includes a script editor. When you know what scripts you want to add, you go in there to add them. You can create your own or use some of the many available in the Scripts forums.
  4. First of all, try searching for some guides/tutorials on the basics and read the help.

    Then experiment with the maker itself.

    1) They must have the same format the ones already in the game have (3 width, 4 height, from top to down: down, left, right, up looking)

    then open up the resource manager(5. icon from right at the top or F10) and select Characters on the left side.

    Press import ^^

    2) There are icons above the writing area, try them out, if you hover your mouse above them it shows what they do ^^

    As for getting the images see what Reynard wrote

    3) Scripting is programming, simple, isn't it? ;)

    It's a form of Ruby with some other background, specifically for RPG Maker, called RGSS
  5. 1) Go to Tools > Resource Manager (or hit F10). Select 'Graphics/Characters' and click on the Import button. There are options there to set the transparent color (if the image isn't using transparency). You should also check the Resource Standards in the help file that outline the sizes and layouts that are supported.

    2) Find a free image host (use google search "free image host"). Pick one and upload your images to the site. After uploading they should provide a link for sharing the file. You can use that link in your forum posts to share the image.

    3) You need to be willing to dedicate time into learning Ruby first, then start getting your feet wet by editing or creating simple scripts for RGSS.
  6. Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
