New to VX

[Krayze]

I always wanted to try n make my own game but I don't know coding xD I been using VX for about 2 weeks, I can't script but I can do a lot of the events and decent. I would be interested in teaming up with someone (Preferable a good mapper, my mapping talent sucks atm. I'm still adjusting to it.) and making the game as a team. I enjoy writing quests and think I'm actually quite good at it, so if a mapper comes along 2 help we can create 1 kickass game

A few questions arises from my experience, Please answer if you know it

1) Is there a way to get a quest list, and tells you if it's completed?

2) Is there a way to only start with 1 character and find the others as you go? It starts you off with 4 and I don't really like that.

3) Whats the difference between mapping in Photoshop and the original program?

1. You  can do that with scripts, or maybe with common events and items but that might be a little bit annoying.

2. Yes, go into the database and hit systems (I think) and there should be a little box that has four characters names in it.  Just click the characters you don't want to start with and hit delete on your keyboard.  Then when you want to add characters make an event and hit Add New Party Member (or something along those lines).

3. Mapping in photoshop isn't really mapping.  It's making a paralex and then putting it into the game.  Depending on how you want to do this it can be good or not. If you're using some custom hand drawn graphics then it could be useful and look good.  If you're using the old RMXP graphics then it doesn't look that good.  Look in the tutorials section for more information on them.

Tyvm! And yeah I guess I won't mess with photoshop than. And I suck at scripting so I don't even want to try to get into that now, maybe after I learn mapping and the basics I'll try to learn the scripting.

I been reading and trying to learn mapping but I just can't get it down yet. My stuff looks all ugly :S

Is there a good tutorial for scenes?

From basic to have the screen black and just txt boxes coming up to more advanced ones.

To change the screen to black, use "Change Screen Color Tone" and move the tabs accordingly (the wording might be different in VX).

You can try searching some tutorials in the tutorial section.

I meant like having text boxes come up without having to press enter on a box, A.K.A. Event. Kinda like a cut scene.

Yes, just make a random ecent anywhere on the map, and name it anything, or just as is, make the event autorun, and through(so other events can pass through it) and after your done everything, at a Self Switch and make a new page and look the left and make the condition SelfSwitch[SwitchYouChose]

Hope this helps.

PS: I usually put the cutscene event at the top right of my editor, this makes it clean(and organized) for me.

Tyvm yup that helps a lot!

Edit: How do u make it not show the character? :s

"Change Transparent Flag- Transparent"

(Wording might be different in VX, this is the command for XP)

 

[wern25]

In VX, Go to system, and delete all 4 characters, than, when you want it to show the character, add a teleport to where you want the character to be, and than add an add player(character,actor) event and put the character you want.

(Not at home right now sorry)
