Welcome dear readers to the latest issue of the Weekly Gazette! Here in the Gazette, we give you the news in brief of what occurred in the past week as well as provide any news happening in Save-Point itself

Official Area
Announcements and Updates
As he reported just a week ago, DerVVulfman had cleared out and erased the zip files holding the web pages of RPGMakerWebss pages. But those pages were only uploaded for those interested as the RPGMaker Webs Archiving Endeavor will continue with the posts being revived in the near future.

With all the threads recreated ahad of RMRK closing, DerVVulfman has begun going through each post and setting each one to the ownership of the original RMRK poster as well as correcting the date and time of the post. However, DerVVulfman found that the image hosting site he has been using, along with many others, are experiencing extreme issues wherby graphics load slowly or not at all. And he fears he will need to re-upload over two-thousand images to Imgur which appears not to have such problems.


Occasions
BikeHelmet came by to say hi to DerVVulfman, a fellow whom our resident werewolf knows from the RM Webs Refugees and whom appears to be working on a game with RPGMaker MV.

bilgepump is a new member to the community, just starting out with RPGMaker MV. More of a writer, he was thrilled to get a greeting from DerVVulfman as well as the treasure trove of information he has already found within the forum.



Games Development
Complete Projects
Now available at the Epic Store, Rave Heart+ now grants one the ability to see and record achievements. But not only that, but it now has full support for both XBox and Playstation 4 controllers.


Upcoming Projects
Initially started this June, TsunamiJuria has released the spin-off challenge game for Haunted Divinity, a dark fantasy romance novel where Angie finds herself drawn to the God of Forbidden Knowledge. And within this entertaining trial, Angie must encounter various trials, attacks and cheese. So be ready for spider webs, cheese, vocal talents, and much more.



Material Development
Scripts Database
C (and variants), SFML and GDScript
Marking is first submitted development content, Orcolem began discussing Somethings in Godot, particularly how he developed a Dice Roller within Godot using scenes and nodes. There a no images for content and it more of a tutorial, however our new member plans to return to his thread to continue his talks.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine
Within the RPGMaker engines, a game developer can use map events to set swtiches and variables that can affect events which encompass the entire game. However, the event command to set Self Switches was designed to solely affect the event where it is called. DerVVulfman was not satisfied with that, and now made Accessible Self Switches, a simple script that lets the game developer change or read the self switches of any event on any map.

RPGMaker VX/VXAce (RGSS2/3) Engines
It was only hours before that DerVVulfman wrote a script to handle Self Switches for the earlier RPGMaker XP engine. But with a smattering few changes, Accessible Self Switches became available for both RPGMaker VX and VXAce. So with this, a game developer can set or return the self switches for any map event within the entire game by mere script calls.



Resources Database
2D Resources
A couple of weeks ago, there were sprites designed to work within a church to represent NPCs that were kneeling and worshiping. Of the nomad characters that were created, only two were not originally sprited. Last week, the first of the two was added to the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. And this week, the second, another male in desert regalia with platinum hair.




Well, that's it for this week.
