Updated from the last version. There is a rain effect and screen tint.

Nooo, no defensive, I know it's all advice to better me in the long run :P do-ly was supposed to be me drawing out the oo, like doooly noted. Haha, sorry. x_x

Wow, that looks great. I'm still very very basic when it comes to skill level, I made it symmetrical to try and contrast, as one side is dying the other is alive, I agree the pond could look a bit more interesting but I dunno how to get those nice smooth edges, mine are very cubed. I still have a lot to learn, but I seem to be doing well with the events. Thanks for the tips, do-ly noted. :D

Here's the end product of my first experiment with RMXP. Obviously very small, just wanted to try everything out, see how stuff works. I have a few little events in there and a talking quest. Took me a while to figure out how to get a few of the things working properly, but now it's working great! The little story behind it, is that the stone behind me, the Dawnstone, has manifested me in hope of cleansing the world of black souls. The Dawnstone is what controls the balance of nature, and it does so through the energy of pure souls, now that the Valley of the Dawstone is beginning to die, the player has been created to rectify the world and lead them back on the path of the pure. After that lady infront of the character comes up to you praising the gods for your arrival, you go and talk to the lady in the far right, she redirrects you to the newly opened aura of the Dawnstone, it speaks to you telepathically and the aura jumps from the stone, to teh dead tree, and finally to the live tree and explains what's going on. Very happy with myself ^_^

Yeah I had sent it to the right place, I feel a little silly, the reason it wasn't popping up was because it was already there, I mistook the tile as something different, when it was actually the tile I was looking for. :unsure: About 2 minutes into the 'Mapping class' thread I realised, sorry about that. Thank you for the welcome by the way. :D

I'll keep quiet for now. :s

Fantastic, great to hear. Nah, nah, just Luke. :) I feel like a bit of a dunce, but my main problem at the moment is not being able to figure out how to get different Autotiles into my tileset, for example, I'm trying to put a lake into my starting area, but my tileset doesn't have water autotiles, I went to the materials thing and tried importing and exporting the Water I want but to no avail, the little dot turns orange, which I assume means it's there, but I can't seem to find it.

Hello everyone, My name is Luke, I'm interested in expanding my knowledge of the RPG Maker XP program, I only just downloaded and purchased the full version, so as you can imagine my current skill level is null. :P I'm only interested in it for fun, make a nice, full length game that I can play through and perhaps send to some pals if it's any good. After about an hour of racking my brain, I decided to google a few tutorials, which were doing fine but I've run into a few snags, so I hope to smooth everything out here. I look forward to getting to know you all, sharing my work, and seeing what you guys come up with! Cheers, Luke.
