RPG Game Makers – Battler sprites

Looking for some good battle sprites?

Want some more battle sprites for your game? Using a front view battle system? Or a side view system? Here are two links I recently came across which contain awesome battle sprites. They are brilliant for both RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX. You may find the material them useful no matter what game engine you are using. I’ll post a few picture and then the links for you.

First, for the front view battle system

Its a monsterrrr

It's a monsterrrr

^ Wow. It’s amazing how weird this thing is and yet it still looks so scary. Perfect for a front view battle system. I really like the mask.

RPG Maker VX Character Converter!

RPG Maker VX Character Converter

Many people have requested this blog to repost the character converter tool from our previous site. So, here it is for you!

Do you have RPG Maker VX charsets that do not come out correctly in the game? Do you want to get your RPG Maker XP charsets or RPG Maker 2000/2003 charsets to work in RPG Maker VX? This simple program will allow you to convert any charset to work with RPG Maker VX.

Here are two sprites I created to show you a good example of what this tool can do. These charsets are in RPG Maker XP format using a sprite maker. They’re greeen lol. (Aliens, perhaps?)

Now the best part! Here are the same sprites that work in RPG Maker VX after using the Character Converter. You will be amazed by this.

2000/2003 Resources!

You can get characters in 2000/2003 format at the resource link titled “Charas Project – RPG Maker 2000/2003 resources”. Make sure to check and read through the resource links, you may find something useful for you at one of them. =)

Easy to convert in three simple steps!

Step 1. Choose which format the image is in. Is the image in RPG Maker 2000/2003 format or RPG Maker XP format?

Learning Ruby for RPG Maker VX

RPG Maker VX Scripts Update and Ruby

A lot of people have been asking questions relating to RPG Maker VX scripts recently so I will make life easy for those types of people, possibly you as well, and start to blog posts to new useful scripts when I come across them. Hopefully that will help you all out. There are many communities and blogs around that provide support and use with scripting so I will try my best to gather all the useful scripting resources I can find together for you. =)

I have added a new category called “Scripting Tutorials & Scripts” for this. If I get a lot of requests, I may start learning some Ruby codes in the future and post tutorials up here. (This is not something that magically happens though, you need to work with coding for a while to understand it. So please don’t interpret what I say to mean you can magically learn ruby in a day. Read the content below for more information.)

Ruby is a scripting progam used to create scripts with RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX. If you read the guides and tutorials around the internet it should take you a few months of learning coding to properly understand the RGSS and RGSS2 scripts. I would not say it is “hard” to learn Ruby but it is time consuming and requires patience, practice, a lot of reading and logic. You will have to put effort in to learn how to program with Ruby.

If you don’t know what Ruby is you can find out more information from Wikipeida.

Is Ruby Required to make a good RPG Maker game?

Well, that is a good question! While having a good knowledge of Ruby can help you fix the entire game you are producing to be 100% your liking, it is not required to learn Ruby to create a RPG game on any of the RPG Maker engines. In fact most of the users creating games with the RPG Maker engines do not know how Ruby works, or at least the ones whom post about communities and social media sites. A lot of programmers have posted a fantastic bunch of useful scripts and add-ons that can be used for RPG Maker projects. You can find these scripts at the communities or their own websites. Links can be found in the sidebar to the right.

Any further questions on Ruby? Feel free to ask a question in the comments below if you think I, not a Ruby programmer, can help you.
