How to use RGSS2 or RGSS3 with RPG Maker XP

[qcqm2001]

Ahh~It looks so cool can i use this to run rmvx projects in rgss？（foolish...囧）
with my language---“很好很强大”

This is great! It takes everything thats good from vx into xp which is the perfect maker. But I got a question, when in fullscreen there are black borders. And I think that looks cool but when you wanna explore more of the map the character just dissapear into the black frame. Any script fixes to that?

I haven't tried this, but that's because in VX the resolution is smaller than XP's, so black borders are placed around the game in fullscreen mode. Since you're using XP, the resolution is 640*480 but since it's using VX scripts, it places the border there. You would have to edit it wherever it does that, assuming it's not in a hidden class or anything.

maybe you can try shana‘s full screen script ，it can work both xp and vx ..
here’s the url：
http://www.66rpg.com/htm/news616.htm
use this script the game will not run in fullscreen
I think running a rm game in fullscreen looks foolish
the 640*480 script can’t work in some versons of vx
such as 1.03 and 1.02

Maybe i need a transfer

When you say "the windowskin will look weird", can this be fixed by just making a VX-style windowskin?

Edit: Also, you mention changing the resolution is possible - how?
Edit2: Found out, but can't the height go above 480? Selwyn's script doesn't work with RGSS2, and it always resizes it down to 640x480 no matter what I type in (if it's bigger).

 

[Zarnik]

But isnt it possible to make it so that it has the black borders but you cant walk throough them just like in vx?
Cuz I want it fullscreen...

Yes

 

[Ellie]

I've noticed this gets quite a few game-crashing-with-no-explanation errors.

That I've found:

-Whenever windows are shown
-When teleporting to a new map

Anyone else having trouble with this?

Yah, just look at my above screenshot. Basically, it re-writes the XP windowclass with VX's. I think it's much nicer anyway. It also replaces the font with the VX font.

 

[Dargor]

I never had these "game-crashing-with-no-explanation" errors.

The Reason why there's a black border in full screen is because of VX default viewport values.

Spoiler: Viewport Fix

class Viewport
  alias dargor_xp_rgss2_viewport_initialize initialize
  def initialize(*args)
    dargor_xp_rgss2_viewport_initialize(0,0,640,480)
  end
end

You write :

#==============================================================================
# ** Game_Player
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class handles the player. Its functions include event starting
#  determinants and map scrolling. Refer to "$game_player" for the one
#  instance of this class.
#==============================================================================

class Game_Player < Game_Character
  alias dargor_vx_player_update update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    if Input.press?(Input::CTRL) and $TEST
      @through = true
    else
      @through = false
    end
    dargor_vx_player_update
  end

Can't you simply use :

$TEST = $DEBUG

Easier ?

 

[platipus]

so is this more like vx merged with xp type of thing?....
or xp feeling like vx? -.-
o.o

xp like vx .
it looks a little strange

Interesting to know that this can be done.

Any known ways to stop the blur-i-fication of the sprites and tilemap and suchlike? It looks pretty awful with the XP sets, as they're supposed to look sharp and clear (since VX has bigger lines)
Example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v487/ ... S2Blur.jpg[/img]
Blah...Blurry for teh loss and fail.

Still, the 60Fps is pretty awesome. Never seen it that smooth before. I also take it that there isn't an english rgss dll floating around yet. Naturally, this one sets the options screen to Japanese. Ouch. I was also initially confused at the sudden change of the default keys that RGSS2 apparently implements (Its now Z for pressing C...which is unnatural for me, though I suppose it might be useful for left handed people)

 

[Sailor Taurus]

I don't know what you're doing because mine isn't blurry at all (unless, of course, you use one of the VX blur effects).

 

[eharper256]

Nope, this is just the downloaded demo with the tilemap changed to poccils, and the 640x480 viewport fix added in. (I added a couple of trees, to see if they would be affected, and as you can see from the shot, they are)

An standard XP game run isn't affected by this; so I figured its an RGSS2 issue.

Step 2 - Game.exe and DLL
[...]
b) Copy/paste RGSS200J.dll in your game folder and rename it RGSS102E.dll

seems wrong, why not just alter the Library=RGSS102E.dll line in your Game.ini so it reads Library=RGSS200J.dll

I'm thinking that might not be a good plan, because your Copy of RMXP is probably expecting to find RGSS102E. Changing the .ini might work for the final edition of the game; but I don't know if you could edit it. I could be wrong though, you'd just have to try it.

I tested the .ini method and it works exactly the same as the rename method. And yes, you can still edit it.

Also, I had problems with poccil's tilemap and now use RTH's. It doesn't give me errors when i make 500x500 maps

oh, I've made my own template already patched for screen resizing, and 500x500 tilemaps, and it uses RGSS 2.0.2.1 so it has newer patches. I don't think its illegal to provide these files as you get them with the RTP and you don't need to register for that... If it is, just remove the link from my post

Wow... this is really cool, it brings everything great from VX to XP^^
