I can't figure out towns...

[Dudemandude]

Ok, now this is a really stupid thing that I just can't get the hang of...
I played RPG Maker 1 and in the Town Builder you could set your own walls
and your own ground types etc etc... but whenever I try to "create" a town I
Always get the same layout... lemme see if i can make it here...

(Ignore the periods, I had to make them to make the figure appear correctly)Something like that... where 1,2,3 and 4 are Landing Points... but I don't know how to edit it so that I could have a circular town... or even a square
without the extra extrusions from those numbers. It's probably an extremely
basic problem but I can't seem to figure it out. (And Dear Brave Heart isn't worth a second for me to look at =P) So I was wondering if anyone knows a way to layout a town? (No, not a field... I got that down...) It's just kinda iritating having 4 or 5 towns with all the same setup...

I think you're gonna have to deal with it if you want to use the original town setup.

There is however a town with walls all the way around in the form of a square.

I'm sure one or two of the towns are circular, but i believe they are called forts, at the bottom of the list i think. I'm not 100% sure. my recommendation is to go through every town and preview, and see what works best for you.

Re: I can't figure out towns...

You could get all artsy and try to create a town with the field editor.

Maybe Hobbiton or something else with mounds and partially buried buildings.

You can use it for much more than just fileds.

Too bad there is no way to display a map on screen. After making a smiley face map, I tried to make a map item so the player could see my joke.

I was let down enough to make an off topic remark!

Sorry.

But you can even lay out buildings using standard events and buildings for models and set the event code to warp the party to rooms created and placed on a dummy map to make a custom town.

Good luck with it.

Peace.

EDIT: Oops... I missed your line about having thought of this, but I'll leave the post there for others.
