in the battle between 1.02 and 1.01 Postilaty Knights Edition, I would say 1.01. However, it depends on what you mean by "cracked". There are also versions of RMXP that are cracked and translated that are not the PKE version. In which case, then it's 1.02 (legal) that beats them out, as legal has better script functioning. However, as 90% of scripters use 1.02 nowadays, it is unlikely you will get anyone still making PKE scripts, and 1.02 scripts will not work with version 1.01 PKE. So, in the long run, legal is better, unless you know how to get around the bugs that were fixed in 1.02, AND can make all yoru own scripts.

 

And you know, not to put down RMXP.org anymore then I have (people are probably getting tired of me yelling at RMXP.org in my posts...), but it's good you aren't posting this on RMXP.org, cause you would be warned and the topic deleted...I know, it was the last thing I did before I left...

On a scripting level, yes there are differences. In fact, if you take a 'legal' script and use it in PK, you need to add a few lines to show text. In addition, making a script in the illegal version, you need to omit the lines for the legal version. I write mine for teh illegal version simply because it is easier to delete said lines then tell the person to add them.

Well there are 'cracked' versions of the full version out there.

So, if you managed to get your hands on that (which is illegal *waves to cops as they walk by*) then you shouldn't have to worry about any differences.

[Marked 197]

Yes, I think that most people download their copy from download.com, and crack that, and its exactly the same as if you paid for it.

So there arnt any differences from a cracked version, and paid for. They didnt put in any limitations for the trial except it expires in 30 days.

[Dark Dragon 0]

No, I was talking about postality knights edition the one Mike was talking about it

[Marked 197]

Hmm...right, well you maybe you should edit your topic then if you were discussing that, because i didnt read anything about it ;)

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

Agreed, cause there are about 20 different "cracked versions" out there so...It's better to say "PKE" then it is to say "Cracked". MAN am I glad Marked doesn't ban, warn, or temporarily suspend anyone's account for the thought of using PKE or any cracked versions...and when I say the THOUGHT I litterally do mean that...RMXP.org does anyway >>;;

[Marked 197]

Yep, and I never ever will. I can promise you that. I personally think it is ridiculas. I dont care if anyone has anything on their computer. Its none of my business.

Okay, back on-topic.

[Dark Dragon 0]

It's a little bit harsh there in .org then, but never mind

I say PKE is better in many ways, first in scripts like Mike sayed, and second, THE WINDOWS

anyone agree ?

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

The windows? I'm not sure what you mean...it's been too long since I used PKE...I know the original 1.00 release of RMXP had several problems with the windows being too big and such, but that was fixed either by installing the RM2k3 fonts, or buy getting 1.01 PKE...I know Enterbrain themselves fixed it, though, in the new 1.02 release...

[Marked 197]

I have used both. And I can say that the legal version is better. I really cant see how people get it into their minds its not. Feel free to explain it to me, cause you got me wondering.

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

Erm...what do I (or whoever it is) got you wondering?

[Marked 197]

How you think that it is better than the legal one...when it obviouslt is not :D

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

oh... -shrugs- truthfully, the only thing better about PKE is the stretchable windows...and I found a way around that so...

[Marked 197]

Ok, I agree, the stretchable windows are better. But, then you have all the things better in the legal version. Such as better capatability with scripts. The Legal one wins out.

[Dark Dragon 0]

what do you mean better capability with scripts

guys when you say something, explain it please

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

he means the fact that most scripts now adays are made with v1.02, and you cannot use v1.02 scripts with the non-legal version of RMXP. v1.02 works ONLY with v1.02 of RMXP. All in all, though, Marked is right, legal beats PKE anyday...EPSECIALLY if legal had scroll windows...if I knew how to do add that, I SO would right now.

[Marked 197]

Well put SCMike. Espically the Marked is right bit :lol:

So theres not point in knowing the differences when the legal one is clearly better. Oh, and legal.

[Dark Dragon 0]

hey, you see legal IS good to make another non-original game

I don't care, I make my own scripts, so, that means mine will be better million times than most other people(by the way, me talking dosen't mean I use illegal)

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

haha, yeap, but we still do accept PKE and other fracked versions...we just won't distribute them ^^

[Wyzrd 12]

To me there is a big difference. The old version of RMXP I had before PKE was really messed up. Half of the scripts were wrong and stuff. Leon had to fix one of them for me so I could use it. Yea I use PKE. No need to hide it really because if they come on these forums than try suing you there is such thing as Privacy Rights which each forum has.

[Grandor 0]

I personally love the cracked version for the way things are named and the way it's a little easier to navigate. But when it comes to Scripts, everything's in Japanese, and I can't figure out where to put things. So, that's why I use both versions for different things.

[Leon 55]

I find that PKE's scripts are easier to use, simply because it is easier to change things. Such as font and size of said font. If you use the legal version, you ahve to know a totally different command, and it changes the WHOLE game's font. Whereas w/ PKE, i can make a window with each font type different than the one before. hence, i use both.

[Grandor 0]

Yeah, with font it's already integrated into the Main Script. So, you don't even have to add any extra stuff.

[Noob Saibot 38]

There are other very small diffrences, but nothing to worry about. Like in PK the message button is called: "message" and in LV it's called "Show Text" In PK "Heros" in LV "Actors" and so on.

[Grandor 0]

Yeah, the thing is helpful. So, I don't get in trouble though, when my game is finally done I'm converting it back to the legal version.

The only thing that makes PKE scripts easier is a couple of lines? Cant you add those to the legal version before you start to develop a script?

I think you are just used to them. I think that the PKE versions text was translated from Japanese, and the Legal one was made in English. So the legal one has the proper names.

[Grandor 0]

I know it has the proper names but even if it's not translated correctly, it's just easier to read, I'd say. However, I'm using the legal version for my new project.

[ManiacBattosai09 0]

i agree on 1.02
