Title: Severing the RTP anchor.
Post by: greenraven on September 17, 2012, 03:28:55 PM
Purely for nostalgia's sake I decided to make a project with RPG Maker 2003. Fine and dandy. But then when I gave it to my brother he said he couldn't play it. It all slowly started coming back to me on why I switched over to RMXP...

What the [BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP] do you have to do to make your game stand-alone? I remember you have to "trick" RPG Maker 2K/3 into complying with computers that don't have it installed.

Using the "make gamedisk" isn't an option because we all know that's bugged as hell.


What am I forgetting peeps?  :|

What does the error message say? since It should work pretty dandy if you made gamedisc or such.

The gamedisk option works, but it packages ALL your resources into the game. Including all the RTP stuff you didn't use (including all the MP3s in my music folder). I don't want to give people a 300 megabyte game. XD

The error simply says that "RTP is not installed".

I experimented with a demo and if you unzip all the files into a new folder and just click on one of the RTP.exe with the face icon, it plays.

um, RTP files are really small. There are no MP3s in the RTP music as far as I know, just midis.

Then taking the RTP away shouldn't really make the game any smaller if it is already 300mbs with mp3s.

Simple fix: add the rtp back in. Also, try to compress your mp3s.

Can u compress the mp3s not affecting their sound quality?  I mean, I doubt anyone would notice much of a difference regardless but just humor me.
