-Side view battle where the run up to creature (or parter member) and attack
like final fantasy
-Cutscenes that actually work for me the way I wish them to
-don't want to be able to move during my cutscene
-IMPORTANT TO ME!!!- a text message box that shows picture when person talks!!!
-using more then one tileset..like an add-on off the internet
Thanks again hope this helped..oh and I'll def. add to this to

I am online and will be most of the day..so if you wish to help i am ready tyvm!!

A lot of the stuff you ask for IS script-related or just takes some figuring out. Mess around with RMXP for a bit get used to it, make some terrible short games to try out different features. No one makes a "stellar game" on their first shot, or even their second. And please, use the return button when typing so much, Big blocks of words are impossible to read.

I won't stop the game I am on until it is stellar..rather then making thirty bad

games to learn

I'd much rather learn THEN make the game

it may seem stupid to some but I guess it's the way I work best...learning as I go.

and If I am in the wrong section someone tell me because I would have no idea thanks

I'll cover a few of the things you listed...

For the side view battle system, just look in the "Submitted Scripts" thread. There should be a few good side-view battle systems in there. There is a sticky thread at the top which gives a list of different types of scripts (battle systems, etc.)

-If you don't want to be able to move during your cutscene, you'll probably want to set the event to "Auto-Start". This prevents player movement.

Pictures in text boxes? I recommend ccoa's Universal Message System (in the submitted scripts thread). It gives SEVERAL new features to the message system.

You can't use more than one tileset. However, you CAN merge two tilesets together using a graphical editing program (I use GIMP). There should be a tutorial in the tutorials section about this if you need more help with it.

My recommendation is to make a short practice-game before making your actual game.
