I'm about to make a complete fool of myself and please, PLEASE don't be mad at me, but someone else has already done what I'm looking for. http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/7082-dynamic-lighting-effects/ I apologize highly for this, and I don't want to be made as someone who abuses resources but when I noticed you didn't get back to me or make an update on this, it must've been a hard thing to do, so I decided to look around and see if someone else happen to already do this, and as it turned out, back in May. someone did. Please don't be mad at me for asking you for something already done.

Two questions, 1. Unless you have a complete duplicate copy, why would you sell a complete box set of any series? and 2. Do you remember what price you bought them at? I ask the second because unless you don't want to make a profit, I would consider looking at what the standard retail price of the set is, and perhaps sell it at maybe 4 or 5 dollars more than that. That way, you would get some money back for the entire sale instead of losing money. As for my first question, I wonder why you would want to sell such a big box set of Naruto when it's probably extremely hard to find now. Just my opinion, although I'm no fan of Naruto, like most animes.

I was thinking March as well. Plus the extra time will give more members time to enter and see if they can do it. EDIT: Ok, the official start date for the contest has been changed to March 1, 2012. Hope this works out better for everyone, although now the thread title is invalid now the contest won't be starting on new years.

I probably should've thought the date through some more. Sorry, I've been out of the school system for a few years, and I forgot you guys start again right after New Years. Since I want to try and make this a month-long contest, any idea which month would be better for everyone? This is a question for the community, not just Marked. So please tell me which would be better for you guys, since everyone seems to be saying January is bad timing.

Wow, Pokemon XD, how did you do in that game? Have you beaten it? I have about 4 times, and I'm playing it again.

Excellent. Best of luck to you.

I'm bumping this. Just to remind everyone, registration is open now, and the contest begins at midnight on New Years. If your interested in this, please register.

Interesting. Any idea what color it is? What games are you planning to get with it? Just a word of caution for you, I DO NOT recommend you get Batman Vengence. It's a horrible game, the camera is too sensitive, and if you are not careful with what you do, you could spend more time getting killed than actually progressing through the game. It's your choice how you want to proceed, but I recommend against batman vengence.

I'm a 9 year trombone player. One of the harder instruments because you have to get the slide and your mouth in agreement otherwise you're playing the wrong note. Although I haven't played in 2+ years, I've kept the music knowledge by writing music. I've done so now for 6 years, and only one of my pieces has been performed live. It wasn't published, but at least my high school band has something I wrote, almost a memorandum that I was there. Off-topic, sorry, but just wanted to let you know I have a game contest I posted last week in the contest forum. I won't reiterate it here, but I think it presents a new challenge towards game-making.

I have completed a demo for this game. It's availible here: http://www.mediafire...mc8f3chk2f4hzqj If you spot anything wrong with it, please let me know. EDIT: Ok, if anyone is following this, I've just thought of a concept that I'm not sure how to implement. Part of the story involves the hero, Richie to pick between one or two players to stay or leave the kingdom, and the rest fight him to determine if they are worthy of continuing or not. If Richie wins, they leave, but if Richie loses, they stay. To make this concept more interesting, I want to make it dynamic, meaning, not every decision will be carved in stone, some will involve the player, and some decisions will affect the course of the game. I'm having trouble figuring out to make this work, considering I can't do it with just switches, I'd probably use up too many spots. At the time of writing this, I haven't delved into how varibles work, so I'm going to see if I can find information on that, and that might be the answer to my problem. But I'm not sure. If anyone has an idea on how this could work, please let me know, as I'm planning to make this a major part of the game.

Ok, I made some edits to the original post. I hope this is better. I removed the map restriction, and I reworded the tileset and submission sections.

First off, Happy Thanksgiving. In the past we’ve seen contests where people have proposed to make a game in a day or a week with some if any restrictions. I’ve come up with a new idea on this: 1 month to create the best game you can. Eventing, scripting, the works, all finished. To add a challenge, I’ve come up with the following rules and restrictions: Engine: You can use either RPG Maker XP, or VX. Characters, sprites, tilesets, etc.: You can use default tilesets that came with either engine, or you can make your own. However, should you decide use custom tilesets, 1. If you are not the author of the tilesets, you must give full credit to the original author of the tilesets. If you got them from this site and an author is not listed, stating you got them from rmxpunlimited.net is acceptable. 2. If you are the original author of the tilesets, you are allowed to finish incomplete tilesets for this contest. You can also start making tilesets for this contest ahead of time, but ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE DECLARED YOU WILL COMPETE. Storyline: Story must be complete. After all, you can’t have an RPG without a story. No to be continued, it must be a complete story from beginning to end. Winner and prizes: Winner will be determined by several factors, including: Creativity Originality Use of Maps effectively Use of scripts (if custom scripts are used) Storyline The competition will begin March 1, 2012 at midnight, and end on March 30, 2012 at midnight. Completed submissions will be accepted starting March 25, 2012. Send submissions to tp9249@gmail.com (When you send it, please don’t encrypt the files.) Judges: Railfan101 Competitors: SpriteZilla Fluidity Foxkit GrimmHallows madanchi Gmack kare3 Good luck to all of you. (If any of the above rules are unfair, such as the map limit, or the rules under the characters, tilesets title, please let me know, and I’ll consider making them more fair. However, I won’t change a rule if I feel it’ll make the challenge too easy.)

1. I saw somewhere a user posted a map with what looked like a lamp on a dungeon wall providing a small diameter of light for the walkway. I’ve been trying to achieve the same effect, but no luck at all. Here’s what I’m looking for: An event where you have an animated flame on a torch emitting light enough to light up a path for the player. Here’s a video of what I’m looking to try and recreate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcvtRsUzIVg the lighting demo starts at 2:50. I know it’s not RPG Maker game, but this is the only thing I could find that shows what I’m trying to achieve. I hope this is enough for you to get started on. (If I got the event system part wrong, please let me know what you want, and I’ll try and get it for you.) 2. Not quite sure what type of event this is. I would guess this is lighting or special effects, but I’m not sure. 3. You can contact me in two ways, either on here, or my email at tp9249 (at) gmail dot com. If you need more information, please let me know. I forgot to mention this is for RPG Maker XP.

Well, best of luck to you. It's hard I know, but just hang in there, and you'll do fine.

Excellent. I do have a request for you, but I need to wait a few days before posting one because I'm really busy with last minute schoolwork, and it's thanksgiving. I'm not going to do anything over thanksgiving, since I want to relax, and I'm sure you guys want to relax as well.

Another Nano Writer? My word, I'm running into a lot of them lately? Where might I ask do you live? My father is the ML for Central NJ and very active. It would be nice to meet another forum member in person if you happen to be nearby. I myself attempted to do the same thing for July's camp Nano contest, but i barely got past 16000 words, though I still call that an accomplishment, consdiering I've never written that much in a short timespan before.

Are you guys still open for business?

No problem. Do you have a starting block for me? Or some design of what you want the world to look like? PM me the details of what you want, and I'll get started. One note to point out though, I'm a college student and therefore these next few weeks are going to be very busy for me, so I probably won't be able to get much done until after finals. Just letting you know that.

this sounds like an intriguing story. Yes I would like to join your team. I can help with mapping and eventing, as I've become fairly good at both. If you want to see examples of what I've done, I have recently restarted my game called Knight Academy, and the thread is here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/7989-knight-academy-relaunched/ Let me know if you're interested in hiring me.

Several months ago, I mentioned a new project I was starting labeled Knight Academy. I had some great ideas for it, but I've been stuck for months and unable to figure out what to do with the story. But recently, I've got some new inspiration to get the story going. Instead of igniting the old thread, I'm starting anew, with a slightly different story, but new features I didn't think of, or didn't know I could do before. Story: Richie is a young vibrant archer, who has lived in Corbor all his life. He knows he wants to one day become a regonized warrior but doesn't know how. One evening, he is told the King and Queen are calling out a recruitment list for warriors and other members who are seeking to become regonized warriors. Those chosen, and who can pass the full academy training will be knighted by the King and Queen and will be awarded the right to guard any town in Corbor. Richie gets excited about this prospect, here he has an opportunity to become a warrior and he'll take on the challenge. He quickly enters, only to find out about 200 other soldiers already signed up, and only 16 will be chosen to begin training. Richie is discouraged, but signs up anyway. Overnight, and over the next 20 days, he waits and wonders, does he have the skills nessesary to be chosen to train under the king and queen? On the 21st day, a messenger arrives at Richie's house with a roll of parchment. He only states it's from his majesty. Richie opens it up and is shocked to find he's been chosen to train with the king and queen. All other canidates have been selected, so richie was a lucky last pick. Richie quickly packs up his bags, and starts off towards Exis Village, where the King and Queen's castle is, where he will soon learn training under the king and queen will be his greatest challenge ever. Features: Multiple side missions involving civilians, soldiers, and other towns. Running a small shop, or doing tasks for others for money. (People have to make a living somehow) --More Features will be added as I think of them, or if I think they will be essential to the story-- Screenshots: What I need help with: Right now, I still haven't gotten a logo for this game, since I don't have any skills in logo design, I would like to ask anyone who has experience in logo design to help me make a design for this game. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much for your help. The self switch was exactly what I needed. It finally runs the way it's supposed to. Thank you.

I've got a problem with a new game I'm starting. I've got an event where my player faces a boss for the first time, either wins or is defeated, then goes through a couple of other events, and then faces the boss a second time with different dialogue and different outcome. The problem is the events for the first encounter keep playing when after I've faced the boss once, and I don't know how to make it so the second event will run and the first one won't. I'm almost ready to duplicate the boss map for the same one since more than one autorun event on the same page seem to not work. any ideas?

Ok, I'm stuck. With the story that is. I've been busy writing my novel so I haven't had a chance to write my story for this game. But now I realize why. I don't have a story. I've made the biggest mistake any game designer can make, twice. I've started mapping randomly without any clue as to where I'm going. Big mistake. Now I have to get out of RMXP and start thinking about where I need to go with this story, if I can salvage what I've done so far, cause I really don't want to start over again. I wanted to keep the story a secret until I was deep into the project, and I was certian I was going to finish it. But That's not happening if I don't have a story to follow. I'm going to share the main aspects of what I want in my story for this project, and I'm asking for your help to develop a story from the points I have. Name: Knight Academy Mostly gives the name of the setting here, so the main setting is a medieval school. Main Objective: clear all 5 dungeons in the castle and successfully make it through the Graduate Dungeon to graduate from the academy. SubObjectives: Successfully complete the 2 dungeons outside the castle walls and any mysteries or puzzles in the neighboring towns. Final Boss Battle: (This may change, though this is what I'm planning now.) The queen and King at the end of the Graduate Dungeon. I at least want to incoperate these elements into the story, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what. Please if any of you could help me with this story, that would be great. You will be credited obviously for collaberating with the story idea. Thank you for any help you can give.

thanks. Those areas are being corrected. I'm a little slow on the story and mapping so I'll update when I can.

Here's an update on my maps. this is the room your player will be starting the game in. http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ipthg2815iplqrb This is better than my last rendition of the player's room I think. More screenshots later.
