Sure. You have to buy it online. Go to http://www.rpgrevolution.com/rmxp and click on the "Buy" link. It'll direct you to the online store. Hope you come back with the legal version.

RPG Maker XP is sold as a download, so anyone anywhere in the world can buy it in theory.

EDIT: Gah, Ninja'd!

thank you both! although i try to restrain myself to buy things online i really want to get to grips with rmxp! it was really confusing though when a blank box appeared even though the script was ok...

i didnt think this version was illegal.... cba to email my brother...he doesnt reply hardly and he lives too far away to give a good kicking up the backside

Good news is that you get a free 30 day trial with the program, so download it, try it out for 30 days, then register for a license!

K it will give me some time to learn some scripts and plan out my game more. I've had fun making doors, movable objects and makng long conditional branched events etc. but they have a lot of limitations...

btw can you use events to make a player press a button and the char will increase walking speed for a certain length of time? I tried adding wait commands but the char stops moving then... i did make a simular event sequence like pegasus boots from zelda

*another thought* going to try and make other chars jump out the way in terror when approached by speeding player

Well, let's not derail from the thread since it's about the tutorial, so post a new topic on our support forum if you need help.

To answer your question, yes, it can be done. You need to use parallel process. Read this tutorial for reference: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/tutorial/28

Now, on to discussing this tutorial.

Emby did his homework. It's a first, ever.

Great job playing around with it! That's what I like to see.

[bryandamage]

i will buy the official version but i got around the 'no text' problem in postality knights i had earlier. i just wanted to know what was missing (determind not to be beaten by an annoying code)

for some reason it won't show without "self.contents.font.name = $defaultfonttype" just thought you would like to know... i can't look at postality knights the same way now i know it's an illegal remake...

[jamiez]

Hey ccoa I know you're here!!!
Why you not make a book for the newbie like me!?

[SeeYouAlways]

Err... Aren't her tutorials helping you enough already? Maybe you can request for a tutorial to be written if you need help in other areas.

[animetor07]

I am super new to scripting, I adjusted my codes to match yours. Was I supposed to delete some codes off of them? And if I want to add more codes in, where do they go?

[ccoa]

Your question is too vague to really be answered. If you want to do something different than what I've done, you will need to change some lines or add some.

If you're completely new to scripting, I recommend reading some of the beginner tutorials on scripting on the main site before doing this lesson. It assumes at least some small familiarity with programming, Ruby, or RGSS scripting.

I get an error on line 9.

CODE

  #-------------------------------------------------------
  # * Window First
  # * First_Script
  #-------------------------------------------------------
  # * Credit:
  # * Ccoa-Tan
  #-------------------------------------------------------
[b]  class Window_First > Window_Base [/b]

  # *Object Initialization

  def initialize
     super(0, 0, 256, 96)
     self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    
  refresh
end


   #------------------------------------------------------

   def refresh
     self.contents.clear
    
     self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 256,32, "Hello...Shuyu-tan!", 2)
   end
end

Line 9?

You're not suppose to have an error over there since it's commented. Unless of course you delete that bold tag on line 8 [ b ]

[Kinnison]

I think you got the arrow pointing the wrong way, it should be pointing the other way, like the one below:

CODE

class Window_First < Window_Base

Here's mine.

[jamiez]

I'm Sorry ,but it's make me confuse
cuz you make like thousand script with you...
and damn...... how long you make a script
so i have idea why you not make some e-book?

Nice tutorial (Y)

i have a question.. if you would want to remove the window, when you press a button, lets say C, how would you script that? ^^
If you wouldn't want to wait 80 frames and then the window is removed automaticlly, but make it so that the player can press a button to remove it himself..

i hope you understand what i mean ^^
Thx.
