    I'm back??

    Hello everyone. I have no idea if some of you remember me from a couple years back, but I was a newcomer with an RPGM3.

    Now, after taking a hiatus (and selling the game itself) I have returned, and I must say that my ideas are much more focused and thus, epic. I have a great idea that I would LOVE to see implemented, and I plan to do just that. Later on today I will be going to GameStop with a friend of mine in order to get RPGM2, and so... I was wondering:

    What are your guys' take on the game? It is a step back from 3, or does it have more customization options than it?

    Once again, I am very glad to be back, and I cannot wait to get started again.

    Re: I'm back??

    2 is basically a fully featured game development kit. There's a way to customize what every button on the controller does (it's not a built in feature), people have made their own music (again, not a built in feature), and if you're skilled enough, you can use the VFX editor to make your own object and character models (yet again, not a built in feature). These things are done with it's extensive scripting abilities, and robust editors.

    It can be very intimidating, but it's worth it. Some people have made some amazing things with it.

    Welcome back!

      0.0, seriously..? That's sounds fantastic!

      Also, what do you mean by "built-in feature"? Do you have to add a music editor in yourself, or just add your own music, etc.?

      Thanks. Glad to be back.

        you script it in using sound effects. There's stuff in the workshop forum on how to do this stuff.

          Awesome, thanks Valkysas.

          Should I put my game description here, too, or make another thread for it?

            probably best to make it it's own thread/

              Also, buried in one of the front page links, there's a piece of software that someone created to transcode MIDI (music) data to a usable form for RPGM2. Unfortunately, it spits it out as hard code that needs to be input by hand. I once input a 3 minute song in MIDI format that I grabbed from online, and realized that it was MUCH too long to input by hand. Like 180 pages of code or something ridiculous like that.


              If it'll help, I'll try to see if I can hunt down that link and post it once I get home.

                I started with 2, and was disappointed by the limitations in 1 and 3. If you want to see what the VFX Editor can do - click the link in my signature!

                I'm hoping to finish that monstrosity someday. I too was away for a few years, and just came back. Have to learn it all over again now!

                MOO!

                  I posted these videos in another topic, but here. They show off some of RPGM2's capabilities. (Be warned, a lot of it is through complicated scripting.)

                    0.0

                    Just popped in the disc, and... dang. That IS a bit overwhelming, but I will do it.

                    Thanks for the help and guides, guys. I'm sure they will help me.

                      It doesn't help that the interface doesn't look user-friendly. (Key word being "look".)

                        Yeah, tell me about it. Not having a manual or such can REALLY confuse things quie a bit.

                          Well, if nothing else, that just gives you an excuse to go nuts with all the features and see what happens when you use certain commands.

                          Also, since you don't have the manual, I'd highly recommend searching for the Prima's guide.

                            www.rpgmmag.com has the manual scanned.

                              That works, too. Skip the guide, then.
