First timer creating

Postby CloudRipper » Sat Aug 16, 2014 4:39 pm

Well Ive played so many of these games that people have made, I figured what the hell, Id try and make my own game for others to enjoy. Ill be using the vx ace lite for making the games, so not quite sure honestly how that will transfer over for others to be able to play on. Im literally brand new at all of this and hope that I can not make a total fool of myself.

If there are any tips from those more experienced, I would honestly love to hear them and I will definitely post updates, especially once Ive decided the kind of game Im gonna make. Obviously its gonna be a bit porny

Ok, figured its time for an update to this since Ive started playing around so I can learn how to create the games. I admit I am using some pre made maps in order to get a feel for how to do things. Once Ive done that Ill start moving to making my own.

I would like to know how to use the scripts though. That I could use help with

I presume you're developing in RPGMaker? I haven't developed in it before, but there are some good online resources, and I imagine that if you post some specific questions ("I was working on this script [code] but I can't figure out [line]") you can get some help here. :)

Thanks Zues. Though my main issue at the moment is just understanding how to set it where when you go to enter, or exit somewhere that it works correctly

You need to create a event which is a... trigger i think? It should be under one of the precreated commands.
Just to be clear are you using "VX ace" or just "VX" because their 2 different sets of software; well same set but incompatible.

EDIT
For VX Ace on steam

This is the command you need.

Its VX Ace Lite that Im using since I don't have the money for the full ones. And thanks Blue.

Edit: That is what I was needing so I could make transfers between maps. Though now Im having an issue coming out of one area into the main map. Its saying Im missing Graphics/Characters/!Other2

most likely.... but no! I paid for RPG maker ace and assets that came with that package namely the RTP. Sharing that would be an act of piracy which is not legal, nor allowed on this forum.

Ok thanks. Was just a thought I had. Im even right now trying to make a little bit of an intro thing where you can choose a class for your hero but having issues with that too.

Ok, what Im trying do is something I saw in a youtube video which is create an intro to name the character and choose a class to use. Part of the intro was showing the game commands by using a separate blank map. It gets through the game commands part then when it is supposed to go to the next part it doesn't and its getting me annoyed.

Im honestly not sure If I typed it in incorrectly or if there is something else keeping me from being able to continue but I would love help

First thing is confirm everything is working.
Is the text showing up?
What is the map this is being placed in.
Confirm that the transfer is going to a different map.

Try without the "Fadeout screen" line.

Oh my freaking god. I turned off the transparent and it allowed it to work correctly. Now I feel like an idiot almost.

Though now its not letting me do the class and name choosing. Ill set that to autorun and see how it works

I had the transparent on in the system settings for the database. But I watched a different tutorial for VX ACE and now a lot more of it makes sense and my cutscenes and such are working. Thank you for all the help anyhow Blue

I can't figure out to do it in the best way. You should be able to walk into a event, hit z and run it. I know how to do it if you want to just look at the bed and hit Z
