Well... I'm still testing your editor ... its a great programm with a lot of options ... but I think you have to improve it (make better / verbessern).

* It is pretty rough-cut, isn't it ?

I think, the menu and the FS (Fight-system) is really good, but you have to make "upgrade the items"
There should be more items and weapons and the "person who makes the Rpg" should select the Items they are sold in this shop^^, you know what I mean??? (Keine Ahnung ob der das versteht ^^)
Like the Item-Editor from the RPG2K (do you have it???)

* That's the tricky part. Scenario was made with fixed items.
I never anticipated my little program becoming so complex and so quickly. You can see I have started to add graphic items and you can associate a script with each graphic item now, but it's a bit difficult to do, because the initial engine did not provide for it.

Well, is there any hope to make the liquidation (is this right??? dpi ^^ / Auflösung^^) higher?

* You can see the liquidation by changing the map animation speed for the outside map. I did this to give the appearance of longer distances since you are outside.

To get there, from the map editor, hit:
[Esc] W [Enter] World Prefs [Enter] Slow Outside Mapping [Enter]

and then return back, go to Map #0 and hit [Tab]. This is why I don't want to have the player moving too smoothly.

But I really like to play with the mouse and the name-input is really good too ^^ ... to play its beautiful, but to "make a world" it is really hard to find everything ... can't you make something like a data base???

I have a listing of all Scenario command keystrokes now on the frontpage of my site

It looks like you will bring a lot of updates .. hope you don't give up with your editor ^^ (I think I would be to stubid for this) and
Good luck ^^

...

* Hey, you're doing fine .. I'm just a little keyboard-manic.
hyper-typer I guess. The keystrokes are on the bulletin, just print them out and you should do fine.

* Hi Shadow:

You can get it direct from this link:
Sie können es erhalten verweisen von dieser Verbindung

http://dw817.f2o.org/engines/setup.exe

Also, I made two major corrections last nite at 8pm,
Fixed the Snow Error and Inquiry Error. If your version is prior to 8pm last night, you should update your engine so you can enjoy the Snow Effects and Inquiry Feature.

Auch ich bildete zwei Hauptkorrekturen letztes nite bei 8pm, geregelt der Schnee-Störung und Anfrage Störung. Wenn Ihre Version vor 8pm gestern Abend ist, sollten Sie Ihre Maschine aktualisieren, also können Sie die Schnee-Effekte und die Anfrage Eigenschaft genießen.

Thanks !
Danke !

Hey, I remember you! You posted on the RPGC- messageboard lately..like... last week or so?
I'd love to download the thingie, but I got a 56k, and it takes forever =_= The screenies look promising though. Maybe, in another time, another life...I will have a faster connection.. *dreams*

Hi DragonTear:

* It shouldn't be a problem.

It's 1.2megs. Very small. Smallest RPGMaker you'll probably ever find. Comes complete with 150+ internal music, 500+ images, 25+ sound effects, and sample world Suzi's Quest with over 500 examples of Sprite Messenger effects.

Try it out.

I did. 1 meg takes like, one and a half hours for me when I'm lucky- which wouldnt be a problem, since I'm such a compfreak I'm on 24/7 The thing is, every 30 minutes or so I get a nice little Kernel error which fucks up my whole comp and forces me to restart yeah yeah, "get a download manager"- give me one under 1 meg, please? o.o

Hi DragonTear:

* I could send you Download Accelerator Install thru your Email.

It is v5.0 sized at 1.0megs.

[Dragon Tear]

Oof. Nah, s'okay, I'll try to download it tomorrow (it's 11pm here, dont feel like dealing with my bitching comp at this time). I browsed around on your page a little, it looks pretty complicated o_o; But I'm a keyboard fanatic too, so that ain't gonna be a prob.
Do you plan on taking money for it one day though? You're promoting it quite well, it seems.

Hi DragonTear:

* Nope ! No money. Maybe for ScenarioX but that would have to be 10 years from now or better. Scenario, which will always get worked on, however will always be FREE.

[Dragon Tear]

Oh, I see ^^ Well, good luck then. It seems like you'll have a bright future with this.

Well, is there any hope to make the liquidation (is this right??? dpi ^^ / Auflösung^^) higher?

...

Lol, he meant the resolution, not the liquidation. In like, graphics. Or at least I think so.

Hi DragonTear:

* Well the resolution will PROBABLY stay the same.
However, for ScenarioX it will be even smaller. The tiles will be 16x16 and Sprites sized ..ahhm.. think it's 24x32, same scale/size as RPG2000. Double-pixel size, no scrolling maps (like Zelda 1 for the NES) (so those with slow computers can enjoy it). And the "liquidity" should be at 1 pixel scale then.

Hey, thanks for the luck !
Actually what I need is skill and somedays I come up lacking !
Keeping it FREEWARE should ensure it's survival, however with all the commercial RPG Makers already out there.

Oof, I don't think you will suffer lack of skill soon. o_O According to the posts in this thread and the screens on your site I'd say it looks pretty professional. And I wasn't aware that there are so many RPG Makers "out there"- I think if you keep the thing free, the graphics good and the proggie easy enough so every noob can understand it after a short introduction you should be good to go. Because those are the problems of some of the other rpg makers I know...
The more the market advances, the more people expect the programs to be easy, qualitative and efficient. Just keep the updates coming and I think we'll hear more from this in the future... doesn't sound like this project will die too soon (not in the near future anyway). You've found quite a lot of fans already. And not just on these forums, I suppose

* Old Age ?

* Quite a few. About 20-30 in fact. I'm keeping tabs on 'em. Only a few are free and those are DOS.

* I'll keep Scenario free. Don't worry. Probably do the same for ScenarioX too.. I - have an aversion to the way the internet is today, with trying to earn money every left turn .. It makes me wanna go the exact opposite direction.

* I have my eye on RPG Maker 2 for the PSX-2 right now.
It looks interesting, but very complex, since you are expected to build true 3-Dimensional people and structures.

...

* Nope ! Although I believe a VERY good portion of Worldbuilders do come from Forums. Others come from when I post my program at a Freeware promotion site. There's just - not enough Freeware today. What was once free, now no longer is. And we have to HUNT to find the original version which the author rather carefully destroys or hides. Vicious market. I hope I never get like that.

Someone who doesn't want to exploit our wallets and purses and drain our last money? Run! Hide! It must be a demon!
Just kiddin' ya.
I think it's really cool of you to do that, the world needs more people like you. I hope you get the appreciation you deseve. Good luck, and keep up the good work, that's everything left for me to say.
~~DT over and out.
