Load game without RPT and font script ?

Hello everyone,

I want to load my game without the RPT resources. I am not using their sound, fonts, or graphics. I'm using my own custom fonts, sounds, and graphics. My game total size is around 5 MB. I wish to keep it at that size.

1. I don't want to have people to be forced to install the RPT.
2. I want to play the game with the RPT because I don't want a 200 MB file.
3. I do not have to require the 3 MB Gothic font- I should not have to because it won't break the license to use another font. At least I don't think so because RPG Maker does not own the Gothic font.

From my research:

1. If I compile the game with the RPT, then I can play the game without the RPT installed on my computer.

2. The file size is still too big. If I try to delete the graphics, then it does not work. I can make them smaller to 30 MB or just make them all blank images to almost no file size, but I still don't want to include the RPT even if I blanked them all out to almost nothing. I'm worried that would be against the license because that might be editing them.

3. The only way I could get rid of the Gothic font was copying my font and renaming the information with a program. It worked and I got rid of the 3 MB Gothic fonts and kept my 60 KB font, I'm not quite sure if this is legal though.

I posted this in the script request section because I think it has to do with the INI file. That would be code or directory information. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

Sincerely,

ZEFK

You actually had this posted in RGSS3 completed scripts. I've moved this thread to RPG Maker VX Ace Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


I'm not sure what the problem is here. This should be as simple as unchecking the "include RTP" button when you export the game data, then it will only include data you have imported or copied into the folders. If the game "doesn't work" on non RTP computers using this process then you should elaborate on how (missing resources indicate you were using something from the RTP, but forgot to manually include it).

RPT: (Fixed)

I figured out the issue, I had to exclude some of RPT graphics and sound from my game. I forgot to delete them when going through the engine.

(Still need help below)

Font:

All that is left is the font. Can I legally rename the font and trick the engine? I said, "I opened the Playtime With Hot Toddies font and renamed it to VL Gothic Regular." This works, but is this legal. I named a font the incorrect name in order to trick the engine.

In story/gameplay font:

I changed the default font.

Font.default_name = "Playtime With Hot Toddies" # Edit as you see fit.
Font.default_size = 24 # Edit as you see fit.

The font works in the game, but it still asks for the Gothic fonts. Most likely for other reasons. I don't want the 3 MB gothic font because that's bigger than my game. Rather use my 75 KB font I edited.

Edit: Figured it out.

There is a tutorial for this somewhere, but ll you really need to do is change the game.ini file
