Title: RPG Maker 2003 problems!!!!!!!
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on February 04, 2007, 08:23:30 PM

Every time I try importing my own recources (IE: title, game over, hero sprites, NPC sprites, tilesets) the preview area becomes a sheet of black, and when i try testing my game, it says 'imported recources are not in correct format' which is a lie, because they are ALL png, just like the built in. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Before I do that... I just wanto ask a questionabout a possibility...

could it be because i was trying to mak it a 24-bit PNG I saw in someone elses thread about the sma e problem is was suggested that maybe he needed 8 bit. is that it?

Yeah, thats probably the problem. All image files in rm2k3 need to have a 256 color depth, which is an 8 bit image if I'm not mistaken (since a bit is a binary 0 or 1, and with 8 binary digits, you can have 256 differant numbers). Anyway, a 24 bit image is much larger than an 8 bit image, and its just not supported in rm2k3.

There are several tutorials on Charas, as well as Gaming World.  Just Google, Gaming World RPG Maker, and the site should come up.  When I first started RPG Maker, I didn't know what I was doing either.  The basic tutorials that Gaming World offers are excellent for beginning Rpg Maker programmers.  I hope this helps.

yep dragonblaze told me this. although im having troubles finding it, well theres a script urr bottom of default or sumthin itll say font then arial i think. just change it to what you want oh and its best not to use downloaded fonts because other ppl who play your game may have troubles with the font

Next question.

I have a conversation with choices first thing in the game.
goes somthin like this

<>Messege: Good morning Trent. Did you sleep well?
:Yes [HANDLE]
<> Message: Oh good. Well, I hear mom calling, we should get downstairs.
<>Move Down,Move Right,Move Right,Move Up,Move Up,Move Up,Move Up,Move Right, Move Right
<>Teleport to....
:No [Handle]
Hmm, well you should go back to sleep. Mom sais we have alot to do today, so you need energy. You should go back to bed.
<>SHow Main Screen

But only the no option works. If I select yes, the character just repeats her question again. WHat do i need to do? Screens plz, usually people's text explainations are too confusing.

Open the event editor and look at the event start option.  If it is an Auto Start event you will need to turn a switch on and make a new event page that has the switch as its turn on, and make the switch pase a push key option.  This WILL prevent an infinite loop.  Just be sure to have a switch turn on at the end of the code.

thank you! Thats exactly what happened! but maybe you could be a bit more specific? Your wording didn't make all that much sense.
