My first RPG maker 2003 experience, What the hell XP!!!!!! Options

[Lato]

Ok now anyone here that knows me knows that i'm a hardcore fan of XP, but feeling a bit bored I decided to try out 2003 once I FINALLY found download link. First off what the hell! RPG maker 2003 is AMAZING! I just used it for like 10 min did 1 battle and was so mad at myself for all those years and money I spent on XP!

Where to begin, the battle system really blew me away like crazy, the default you actually get to SEE you char! And they in such a cool anime/3D style! And there is like words with the status effects and real time is already built in?! IT comes with a world map too!

Why the hell did they make XP but not bring over all these bad ass options, we all had to wait for ppl to script them and thats just a pain. I already started editing new char and its just like doing icons cause they so small I love it! so much simpler then trying to work with xp sprites.

That being said im switching my time now to 2003, ill still be working with xp but only when I get bored.

PS. And they have face graphics!!! Grr I wanna kick the ppl that made XP in the balls now!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, but since RM2K/3 relies on 256 colors, you lose quality if you are saving an image to 256 bmp using MS Paint. There are other programs available allowing you to save in 256 colors without losing quality such as Irfanview.

Wow now thats a old program lol, ill have to look into that, ok another question problem! I have this cool idea to make everything black and white since its a old war game but the only thing I cant seem to make black and white is the dam face set pic!!! IS there a good way to do this?
