There is a thing i hate from rgss: you cant import nothing of the giant ruby library, and the interpreter is limited. Is a pain in the ass because scripting a lot of things require you to create the script and systems from scratch, and rgss and main codes become very limited. If this have a very complete graphical inteerface control with scripts, it will rules.

For example i coded a warning message window that autoset his size checking for the text size,etc.. with a lot of libraries that takes a minute.

I will say a last thing. One of the worse things are the closed databases. Because you have to create databases in the scripts. That sucks. It will be nice that your database allows to incorporate new values and atributes of each thing. Then if you want to add a special effects to weapons, you can add that flag/option to the weapon class and then select its value as normally in the normal editor. You might want to separate this because is a very advanced feature.

Also it will be nice that exist values types:
-Integer
-boolean(for comodity)
-curve(you can add new stats

etc.

Then the rest of the work is done via lua scripting, but the database is unique. That trully will be a great thing. Also will be nice to create addons for the editor, database or program itself, maybe that unlimited database can be done here, because if someone can script with lua can modify a database in some "hard" way...

To sum up, the idea is to have the option to add something via scripting without having to use scripts codes as small databases. With this and a great and unified script library will beat rgss, at least for me.

Its a nice comercial project, but i think in the future i will use vgvf argss because i have started the project here and i can modify the engine and database sourcecode, and its open software. Anyway this will trully surpass enterbrain programs. I dont think lua its better than ruby, faster yes... but with the new itnerpreter and making 2d amateur games i dont think i will need that extra perfomance. I dont think speed is that important with embebedded script language.

Good idea. We will start working on it. I can see how having a propertie for every value could get out of hand.

You do know why it requires to be run as admin right??? (I couldn't be bothered to read 160 posts so i hope this hasnt already been fixed )

Your likely accessing files where you installed it (i.e. Program files) and windows protects those by default...

This is why most programs these days store any files that need to be written to and read from in a special folder in my documents. This can include ini files datasets etc...

So yeah if you move them to my documents which is an open access location you wont need admin unless your doing something to the registry or something every time... Also the location of my documents in in an env variable so its universally easy to find.

Yea we did that a few weeks ago., and your 100% right.

This looks like it's coming along nicely! I do have one request though, while coding false 3D(Mode 07) in lua is pretty easy it'd be cool to have as a default function. Especially if one was making a FF6 SDK or just wanted a similar world map.

The only thing I don't like is the properties tab, it seems so old school.

Will keep that in mind.

I saw it... it looked okay, but I think I will stay with RPG maker vx

I saw it... it looked okay, but I think I will stay with RPG maker vx

Why is that? Is it the interface? the way things are setup? Because it's "different"?
Please leave legitimate answer.

Please leave legitimate answer.

When I first downloaded it and I got the basic tiles and such, I was a little dissapointed in what I was able to do with them. I know that you can get other ones offline and such and I have seen your screenshots of what you can do, but I feel that RPG maker VX does the exact same thing as this program does, just in an easier and more managable way! From the layout all the way to how you build the game itself.

* Im sorry if this sounds harsh, but I would rather be honest than lie to you about it! *

On the flipside though, the tiles, music and scripts I feel are very nice... even better than RPGmakervx's i some cases!

Doesn't even open, Last end (VRS) stopped working every time you open the program..

What OS are you on? Did it give any error infomation? Anyone else having this problem?

After working with LastEnd Beta testers we found that in the past installer we didn't include all the .dll that were needed to run the program. As a result of this mistake it would run on some systems but not others.

This problem has been fixed and VRS should now work on all Vista / Windows systems.

if it didn't run before please give us an other try an let us know if anything doesn't work right.

If you ported this to linux....THINK....how many people would be making rpgs...this comunity would SKY rocket
