Occasions

This week, CaptainChipmunk created an account, though soley to doanload scripts in the forum.

Looking for some assistance, izumiodd appeared. With the information provided, DerVVulfman was curious if izumiodd was interested in making a gothic orror game.

As one might expect, PokeWorldTrainer is a fan of the Nintendo capture and battle phenomenon of thirty years. Already with a project in the works, PokeWorldTrainer has plans to reveal it on our forum.

General Chat

Using RPGMaker XP as a map drawing tool for a Virtual Tabletop campaign, izumiodd wondered if there was a means to Export the map to PNG files from RPGMaker. Though DerVVulfman thought the initials VTT made the resident werewolf think he meant a Vampire the Masquerade campaign, he offered a solution by way of the Mapmaker tool that's available.

Development Discussion

If you wondered What's Up with some RMers, DerVVulfman got back into scripting. He has been working on braking down the modules of the RPGMaker XP default scripts into smaller methods, and even released a demo with the revised scripts for testing purposes. He also announced some victories, discovering how to fix an issue with Near Fantastica's first pathfinding script and discovering how to keep fieldmap sprites moving at the same speed across the screen regardless of what frame rate their project was set.

RPGMaker XP (RGSS) Engine

After two decades, it has existed. But had a flaw that went unreported. But said issue was only revealed to DerVVulfman. And so borne this week was Near Fantastica's v1 Path Finding - Fixed, taking care of an issue that prevented the system to function properly when passing tiles with one-way passable flags.

Mel reported that there were issues with the pathfinding system in use with the Enhanced Squad Movement. The secondary pathfinding script that was in play was the one causing a problem. However, DerVVulfman discovered how to fix the problem and posted what needed repair.

2D Resources

Its been week after week that nomads of the desert have joined the Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V, so he decided to do something different. However, he stayed with his sand motif and created the facing frames of the Sand Worm of Arrakis.

Well, that's it for this week.
