Few Quick Questions!

[wankstain (squirt)]

Hey guys it's me, just your average friendly neighbourhood Wankstain, I've been using RPG Maker XP for a while now (since it's release) and I kinda feel like a retard not knowing these, so i was wondering if some nice person-type human would clarify them for me. Here goes:

Is it possible to Send an RMXP game commercially? (this isn't one of those 'is it illaglz to salls myz gama even toh itz copizwrite')
I just mean, is it possible, to use an Install wizard of some sort to install my game unto another computer? if so, how? and would i need to include RGSS player in the install (like you get with Directx with games)

Is there a way of changing the game size to full screen or something bigger? and if so, how?
This is the sort of question that gets the tired forum mods shouting at me and telling me to 'fuakking look far it noob'. but i just want to know, is there a way of doing that? just changing the size of the window would be cool.

Permanently changing the Game icon, so that when i distribute my game, it would stay the same and work on Vista!!
Just need to know this, not really urgent but would be helpful  :thumb:


Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and maybe after i won't be a 'Frakein nouuuu0000b!111oneonetwootwoo'

For question 2 press ALT + Enter when you're playing the game.

Hope it helps.

Regarding the first one:  Install wizard?  Don't need it.

If you look under the File tab, you should see an option entitled "Compress Game Data."  This will turn your project into a self-extracting archive, designed to be downloaded, uploaded, tossed on a CD or flashdrive, whatever. 

If you are using the RTP, however, you'll need to either a) make sure that the destination computer has the RTP installed, or b) import every graphic, sound, etc file into your game's files, and select the game to use that instead of the RTP.

Getting RMXP to work in Vista requires... well, I don't use Vista, but there's considerable discussion of it around here that you can search for.

I know this, but i wanted my game to be a bit more professional if you know what i mean?

Actually, no, I don't know what you mean.  What's wrong with a self-extracting archive?  It's quick and easy to use, and easy to upload, download, etc, etc. 

If you want your game to look more professional, reflect that in the content of the game.

I'm sorry, I will do it the way you said, sorry, sorry!
