What is Scrive?

 

Scrive is a online or offline(Version 3.0) Script database that lets you search through scripts for RMXP/VX and use in your game. With Scrive you get all the info you need for the script(from the Author to if the SDK is required) making it easy to put in your project without really needing to view the support topic. But the support topic is always there for you! With Scrive finding a script is easier then a google search or searching through 50 pages on a forum! With 5.0 just around the corner it will have over 100 scripts!

 

Scrive History

 

Scrive started in 2007 by RMXPirate as a very small program with nothing in it at all and only about 15 RMXP Scripts. The program then grew several times first in late 2007, then again in 2008 with 3.0 and soon late 2008 for version 4.5. Now in early 2009 5.0 Alpha has been released! Back then scrive was nothing like you see in 4.0 and even 5.0 is a big step from 4.0 series. The programmers and I are happy to see what Scrive has became!</div></span>

Is it just me, or does this not download? Cause when I click the download on the download manager, nothing happens...

[isaacsol 10]

Doesn't work for me either...?!

[Marked 197]

Same here, I sent RMXPirate a PM about it awhile ago, so hopefully he will re-upload the file soon.

[RMXPirate 0]

It must be something wrong with the site, its weird, it was working earlier why wont it work now? I guess ill reload it for you guys.

 

Edit: I reloaded it!

[Marked 197]

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened. You did upload it previously because I checked in the directory the files are stored in, and you uploaded two different sized files. In any case its working now.

[isaacsol 10]

It works for me now.

[Caesis 0]

Great ult.

Made me joining worth while =p

Hadda join to get this downloaded.

 

But umm ... will I run into issues with ownership if I use this?

[Polraudio 122]

Nope, as long as you provide the creators name in the credits no problem

[RMXPirate 0]

YOU HAVE TO SEE THE NEW VERSION IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED AND EVERYTHING HERE: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/7283/15121370xd2.png

 

Alright guys so a major update to this program will be released soon so much that i should just call it version 4.0 but i will keep it as 3.0. I added a custom skin to the program and buttons(those buttons are temp until we get some awesome ones) I now have a team I am working on it with(it is also apart of there company) and we have so many plans for it including a sprite in the corner that gives u tips etc(not as annoying as Microsoft words paper clip biggrin.gif). It now suports VX scripts as well. About 20-30 scripts have been added to the program since last time so theres a fair amount of scripts now.

 

 

- Scrive is going through a big change now including adding a resource archive to it, possibly a game archive, and much much more!! Doing this will also change the name of the program as it is a compile of three different archives but the names of each separate archive will still be the same. Thanks for the support cheif, try out the next version your going to love it!!

 

The scripts in next version(adding more as we speak)

[RMXPirate 0]

Well since i am finished early pretty much I decided to release it early but for RMF and RMXP Unlimted only! Yours is a bit updated from theres(fixed bugs they found added a bout 6 scripts). So yeah go ahed and download the file above :D. IF you see any bugs please please please tell me about them because i want this version to be close to perfect on first release!!

Thank you,

[Chief 30]

pirate, since scrive is already past 3.0 and thats what is says on the new splash screen, woudl you like me to change it to just 3 so it wouldnt contradict the version?

[RMXPirate 0]

If you could that would be awesome maybe even if you made it just say scrive as there will be future version like scrive 4.0 and i wouldn't want to have it say scrive 3 when its four lol :D

[luktholemew2 0]

wow, i downloaded this and its really cool. :lol:

[RMXPirate 0]

Thanks very much :) the next version will be called Dive direct archive and now include a Sprite archive in it!! It will have the ability to change the background as well from black to Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet(Purple)!! It will have a few other features like program select which will let you choose what program to start up first :D. Chief has been a wonderful help in all this as he has made the new backgrounds, icons and more!!

[satan6676 0]

I download that just a second ago and when I tried running it it said I was missing something

[RMXPirate 0]

You need .net framework 3.5 for it to work you should already have it if auto updates are on if not youc an get it from microsofts site

[satan6676 0]

It works now :D

[RMXPirate 0]

Bump! well due to the fact we have hardly any sprites at all I Decided to release the program with just the new version of scrive in it. It has a new feature that lets you choose what engine you want the script for (VX or XP obviously lol) and then you choose scripts from there! I have added a few more VX scripts to the list so yeah Enjoy the new version, version 3.2.3! Same dowload area: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index....amp;showfile=73 have fun! IF you have any sprites that you would like to see in the next version of scrive which will now be called Dive direct Archive and will have a sprite archive with a program selector so you can choose what archive to start up with) it will be very helpful! Dont worry dive makes sure no one will forget to credit you for your sprites and tells people many time too and even warns them.

[Chief 30]

already found some errors pirate...

 

Violet background does not work...

 

when you try to use the 'add script' option, the cancel button does not work

 

and why doesnt the option for Sprive come up? i knwo you said it doesnt hav a lot of sprites yet but i think you shoudl still be able toi see the few options so far.

 

anyways, jsut as otehr peoples opinions go, what do you guys theink of the new icon i designed for Dive Archive?

[RMXPirate 0]

Well people were complaining that the rtp tempaltes(the only sprites in scrive now) shouldn't be added into it without the creators permission although they are open resource, i agree with them as although its open resource i should still ask. So that leads us to zero sprites in the program now.

[isaacsol 10]

You can use this sprite if you want, it is an edit I did a while ago of 001-Fighter01, the main character in my game Isaac Sol (< Looks at username). So feel free to use (Would be cool if the name of each sprite changed to match it, i.e. if Isaac was shown, he would say Isaac Sol instead of Scrive :P):

That wouldn't be a bad idea lol Ill think about it and thanks, your the first one to contribute a sprite to the program!

[isaacsol 10]

No worries. That reminds me, I need to install an update that was downloaded for my PC, I turned off the automatic installation as it annoyed e the way it pressures to to restart every 5 minutes.

[RMXPirate 0]

Well i released Version 3.2.4. I fixed a few minor and major bugs took some things out and added a few scripts nd features. You can see the full list of everything in the changelog below.

 

The next version version 3.3 yes I'm changing it to 3.3 will include the ability for scripters to suggest there own scripts to be added to the program, there script will then be reviewed and its always a yes then added to the next version of scrive. Expect 3.3 in the next week or 2!

 

We are also planning on maybe adding an option to make Scrive your own script organizer! So many people have asked for this feature and now we have decided to maybe place it in the next version of scrive. Now you dont have to keep searching your computer for all the scripts!!

[RMXPirate 0]

Leon(Rmxp Unlimited):

May i make a recommendation?

 

How about the ability to add scripts into the archive yourself. Simply to save on having to constantly download new versions.

 

KDawg08 :

A way to compile personal scripts into it for personal use would be awesome though so i don't have to keep this 5million page folder i could organize them with Dive easier.

 

Well KDawg8, Leon and all the others who asked for this feature it is possible! Finally Scrive has the ability for you to add your own scripts!! This means you can make Scrive a script organizer like KDawg08 asked for in a previous post. So have fun adding your own scripts to Scrive in the new 3.3 version coming out Sunday September 31st!

 

 

Alright everyone so I Will update this post and the main post when I release a new version...

 

Changelog:

 

Changelog

- Completly redid the whole program bottom up, new backrounds new buttons splash screen everything.
- So many bugs fixed over 5 bugs found fixed alone in this version!
- Compatibility issues with Settings menu and View menu fixed.
-Added back View Menu completly thanks to new code i descovered to help it work with the settings window menu.
- Lots more done so much its too big of a list!! I could call this version 4 with how many updates there are.

 

 

Want you own Private Scrive(Company version of Scrive!?)

Now the organizer feature will be free but if you want your own open source, completely empty custom Scrive for you to call your own then please pm me for more info on how to do get this for your company or yourself.

[RMXPirate 0]

The new version is released now some features(settings only pretty much) don't work as were working on them but everything else works and so does adding your own scripts! The Download link is the same as in the download section or you can click here: http://scrive.110mb.com/Scrive.zip

 

Edit:

- This is beta version 3.3b1 of scrive but everything works as planned no need to worry about a feature etc.. not working. We will release an update soon for the actual version 3.3 which will include a more specific search feature, the ability to delete scripts you added yourself and a settings file just to make the program more compatible. It will also include new buttons and backgrounds for the new 3.3 transformation! All scripts will be updated and will add more scripts with this update as well.

 

and Lucas Scoppio: What are you talking about, I never said that lol... I mean we cant release on time, and this version of Scrive is useless, your 180 scripts will be useful for this new version. You can throw them in this program all you want as the new version is released now.
