Just when I started doing my own secret RTP-remodeling project, I started noticing a couple of different people doing different RTP-remodel stuff as well.
Maybe we should gather all of us together and we can all make one big alternate RTP pack, and somebody can make an actual RTP install file, then we'll be able to use both RTPs simultaneously... imagine opening up the RTP thing and seeing Standard AND Advanced RTPs in there :D
Not that mine is all that spectacular, I've just enhanced contrast and brightness on autotiles, tilesets and charsets... simplest thing in the world but looks alot better.
But enough about that, I don't even have to say it because everybody already knows: You're animations are out of this goddamn world awesome! Everything from A-to-Z is top-notch quality and put Enterbrain's default crap to shame (no offense to them and their poor customer relations.)
Two small things that bug me though: Earth 2 and 3 look like Poison/Earth spells, like the rocks are protruding out of a sea of toxic waste (keep it though, a poison/earth spell is kinda cool.) And Darkness 2 and 3 look awesome but... they're totally left-field to the origional, they have no resemblence whatsoever. (They're still really cool though, I'd probably use them for some wicked ass negative status effect like Pain or Curse or something.) Lastly, Thunder01... looks like a bunch of lines.
Everything else (including those) are spanking awesome man! Not trying to be a negative critic, but I did want to bring it to your attention if you ever do decide to re-do those. (Oh yeah, and I do miss the Cross on the Sword Tech, but no big deal there.)
I HAVE MONEY!!! In the future (when I have time to do *real* work on my project), I will be seeking you if you're still interested, because I've got a couple animations I might need you to do for my Chaos Drive skills and some particle effects I need done on some custom (unfinished) battlers. So if you ever decide to leave this forum but still do RMXP work, please leave me some alternate contact info... until then, I'll be checking back.
Sincerely,
