Thanks, everyone. You're always so helpful. I hope I get to the point I can start returning the favors.

Hi. Two questions. The big (pardon the pun) question is how to reset the screen size to fullscreen in the game.ini(I guess) file so I can play fullscreen. I've usually seen an options menu in completed games. Possibly related, the "game" tab has "RTP-1, RTP-2, RTP-3" but options for "standard and none." What can we do with them?

Does anyone know how to make resources for Charactor Creator XP. Or does anyone know more about how to use it? The English version doesn't have a help file, and I've been stumbling around. I know you can make new, empty databases (I did it once, by mistake) but I don't know how. Some of the drawings work well (I've made a skin, and sandals) but some don't work at all. The same is true of Graphics Gale. Is there anywhere one can learn to REALLY use it well?

Hi. I'm pretty new to this, but why not just export something close to what you want, open it with a graphic editing program, then rename it and import it as a new charactor? I've even done this with MS Paint, but I'd suggest something else, anything else. There may be an easier way, but it works.

I've been watching this off and on for a while. Can hardly wait to try the demo, and if it's any goods at all, (and the reviews so far make it sound fantastic) I want to be right in line when the full release is ready (whatever it costs.) Phantasy Star III was my favorite game of all time, and I only had a short chance to try IV. From what I've seen so far, yours looks beter than Sega.

Hey, all you mappers out there, can anyone do this? (And if anyone has already, I'm sorry, but I've looked and looked, and haven't found it.) Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one to have noticed,but I was watching the light filtering through the trees one afternoon and I noticed how the leaves move back and forth from light to shadow, and realized that was what was missing from my forest maps. (That, and more bits of stuff littering the ground, not just the odd rock or stump, but that's a problem with the tilesets.) I've added the shade fog to my maps, and it helps a lot, but isn't quite right. (It's too regular, and looks more like shade moving,not light. I think a little graphic editing will fix the light/shade ratio.) It shouldn't travel across the screen, like clouds (shadows) across the field, but shake back and forth, somewhat randomly, (sometimes fast, sometimes not; sometimes with pauses between shakes.) Is there some way to get that effect? More to the point, is there some not too complicated way? I think it would add a lot to wooded areas, and I'm sure lots of us would use it. I've a couple of interior questions for later, but I'll keep searching for a while on those.

:shok: Has anyone else done this? and- Is there any way (other than to be careful) to avoid it? I just deleted the wrong map- and it took every map (and event, and countless hours of work) with it. I guess I still have my database, but all the mapping and eventing is gone(I guess.) I've done it before, but only with short tests, never the whole game.(Still, the point is to aquaint oneself with the functions, I'll get lot"s more practice. I'd just hate to do it again. I know with word processing documents you don't lose all saved data when you make a mistake. Do you have to save data in a separately named file to protect it?

Thanks, this is great. I'd put it right up front so even guys like me have no trouble finding it.
