General Questions
« on: January 02, 2017, 04:34:15 PM »
Hi everyone! I figure since several folks are thinking about using RPG Maker in order to create their jam game, I'd post a help thread for this topic as well. I'm only familiar with RPG Maker XP, but I know there are other people here who have used newer versions. If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to post them here and (if it's something I can field) I will try my best to answer!

Good idea Laura  :)
I can also try to help you guys and girls as I have bunch of experience with RPG Maker XP. I also have some with VX Ace so I may be able to help with that as well.
Technically I have some experience with MV, but I don't like it so I don't want to help with that.

Zeriab, go learn MV despite your reluctance and dislike of it so that you may help me exclusively~

Seriously though, Zeriab is awesome and full of incredible advice. If any of you non-zeriab peoples has questions and gets a response chances are it'll have all your answers and more.

Aww, you smooth-talker you <3
You almost make me want to crack open MV, but only almost.

It may still be worthwhile to write a topic should you get stuck. The process of writing the topic itself may be enough for you to figure out how to progress.

*EDIT* - Nevermind, I realized right after posting this that I was commenting out code incorrectly. If anyone else needs to know ever, it is in the Game_Event script, on line 64. *EDIT*

I have an RPGMaker VX Ace question (I've been dying to get MV, but have not).

There is a "feature" built-in to the eventing somewhere that makes it so that when a player "talks to" an event, it automatically turns to face the player. I wish to turn this off, but can't find it in the scripts. Anyone else already experienced this and know where to find it?

Ended up with access to MV thanks to a bundle.

The projectile scripting system that I've been making for my latest personal project in VX Ace was successful in creating objects, but not in drawing them to the screen. In a fit of potential stupidity, I'm about to start reworking the whole project into an MV one instead. Unfortunately the 6 or 7 sprites I have worked up won't match the standard creation system, but hopefully it won't be any harder to modify than VX Ace's was.

Also, I am fairly familiar with javascript, so I hope to understand a greater proportion of the code going in.

Of course, after about 50 hours of work, I was getting pretty familiar with VX Ace's ruby, too -_-

Does anyone who has used both MV and VX Ace have any helpful comments about trying to move from one to another?
