I'm trying to make an rpgmaker game in rpgmaker mv but I've run into a problem- whenever I try to test a battle, no matter what equipment I've set for my actors they deal and take the same amount of damage. It's like the weapons and armor aren't working. This didn't happen when I tested it on a blank project, and I tried turning off all my plugins to see if they were the problem but that didn't fix it. Has anybody encountered this before? Does anyone know what to do?

does anybody know good ways to format like. a google doc or somethign to write dialogue for an RPG in RPGMaker? Like i know I'll have to put it all in engine but i'd like to have a place where i can keep all of it and edit it in a better text editor!

hi! I'm working on my own rpgmaker game but i can't find any good resources on UI editing or anything like that. I love how duck soup's looks and i was just wondering if you'd be able to share any info or resources on knowing how to edit that stuff. if not though that's totally ok i'm just curious :)

hello !! good luck with your game, and sure !! rpgmakers ui is a bit tricky if you're not familiar with the engine as it doesn't exactly make it intuitive

basically, to get the ui in DUCK SOUP, i did 3 things:

use a plugin to get the portrait busts

use a plugin to get the text

recolor an image within rpgmaker to get the ui outline and style

the portrait busts can be implemented with a plugin outlined here: https://youtu.be/mZARyO-yaz4 !! basically, its just a plugin that allows you to replace the little portrait squares in rpgmaker with busts that can show anywhere you want on screen. It's very flexible and i highly recommend it!

for the custom font, i used the ve_sfont plugin as i used an image file in order to get the font i wanted. this is completely optional as you can just replace the text file within rpgmaker instead, which is far easier, but i was addicted to that old rpgmaker font look so... here ya go ! https://victorenginescripts.wordpress.com/rpg-maker-mv/sfont/

and finally, rpgmaker's ui can be edited by editing the ui file itself! a tutorial can be found here: https://youtu.be/hjo9UOEIWh4 but basically:

rpgmaker has a little file within your game files that looks something like this:

from this itty bitty image, it determines how it'll create the menu ui! you can edit this image to give the ui a different look :>

and that is my knowledge... hope it helps!

I'm trying to play old RPGMaker games.

I'm trying to play some of @vgperson 's translated games like Ib and End Roll, but once I extract the file and run the game I get this screen:

So then I go and open up the RPG_RT file from the Data folder, like it says, and this happens:

I tried downloading the RTP package from the store and it didn't work. I've spent over an our in this.

Help?

RPG Maker VX Ace Windowskin Help

I’m fairly new to rpgmaker vx ace and ran into a problem (and for some reason I can’t confirm my account on the rpgmaker forums? And no one who ran the forums got back to me about it). I thought maybe someone on this site could help me with this instead.

So I was trying to change the default windowskin in my project.

And instead of replacing it properly-

-this happened.

I thought maybe I had messed with a line of code, so I opened a new project and tried it out. Same result.

I thought I imported correctly, it’s just replace the file called Window in the System folder. I even tried to do this with a skin I downloaded off the internet that I saw worked in another person’s project, and I got the same result. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Should I try to redownload rpgmaker vx ace? Or is this a problem others are having with the most recent version of the engine too?

[koikuma]

SO LIKE, is there anyone out there who’s willing to give me a link on how to change the text boxes on RPG maker?

… I might just search how for myself later but :v

[sppaade]

does anyone have some really nice looking title screen scripts for rpgmaker vx ace that are easy to use (I have little to no game coding experience)
