  1. I know that you can bring the Data, Scripts into the game folder but I have two really big scripts in separate games an ABS in one game and a menu in the other. I don't want to take 20 hours to copy like 50 scripts into the other game and when I try the DATA SCRIPTS then it erases the other script. Any way to copy them all and then paste them in the other game? Any answers are appreciated thank you! :)

    I'm using RMXP BTW.
  2. There are a couple of ways to do this ... I recommend the first method.


    You can either have your games open in separate windows (you CAN do this - just double click on the .rxproj to open the first, then the same with the other and it'll give you both games open in separate windows at the same time). You can set it to windowed mode, resize and move the windows so you can see them both open side by side, then open up the script editor in each one and see THEM side by side (use F11 if you can't see the icon on the toolbar). Then it's as simple as selecting the NAME of the script, hitting Control+C, clicking in the other one in the script list and hitting Control+V - the script will be inserted ABOVE the entry you have selected.


    Or you could use an exporter to write all the scripts in each game away into text files, then open the text files individually, select and copy their contents, then paste into the appropriate new slot in your current game.


    The first method is easier and faster - it's just select, copy, select destination, paste. With the export to text way you've got to FIND your script in the list, open it, select all, copy the contents, insert and name script slot, then paste. More steps.


    But both methods are faster than copying a script at a time, closing the editor, opening the other game, and pasting.
  3. Yeah Shaz is right, I agree with the first method, you can do this not more than 30 minute actually. CTRL + C the slot list, then CTRL + V on the other game script editor slot. It just like that, as long as you do it on the same version(VXAce with VXAce). Especially if it's a plug and play script :)
  4. That's what I originally meant (copy and paste method) Just wondering if there was any other way before I did it. But that was the only way I guess so I did it. I had some trouble with the scripts fusing together they didn't like each other there was errors but I got it all fixed. Can be closed now. :)
