Greetings from Holland

[tommygunner70 0]

Hello dudes.

 

I'm from Holland, and I'm new around here ("Duh" factor there though.)

 

My reason for joining is that I have started to take a fancy to RPG Maker XP.

Mainly because I enjoy to write stories when I have some time to spare.

 

A friend of mine introduced me to this wonderful program, and I wanted to try and make a RPG out of one of the stories I've written.

 

sadly, I don't know my way around this site, and though there are some sweet tools and utilities on this website, like the Character maker that is downloadable from this website. sadly, all the stuff I find out there are medivel styled. while I am looking for modern things. about 1990 - present and beyond is the range of resources I need.

 

so i was opening that someone around here can point me in the right direction. because for a new guy, the wealth of information around here is overwhelming.

Welcome, unfortunately, not many modern tilesets have ever been made...most people want to make medieval RPGs, so there isn't as high a demand on modern day tilesets. Maybe someone else can help you more, but I really have no ideas, sorry.

Welcome, and as Emily said, finding modern day tilesets are hard.

Ach, samen komen we er wel uit.. een futuristisch project klinkt zo slecht nog niet :)

Yeah, its dutch...

*ahem* Allow me; Translation: Ah well, Together we'll come to a solution. A futuristic project doesn't sound too bad /Translation

 

With all do respect Alliehj, I'd prefer that you'd keep using English as not everyone can understand Dutch. In addition, I am a horrible Native Dutch person because I am unable to write Dutch properly. also my skill in speaking it is starting to become lacking.

 

 

As I have it in my mind now, the RPG I wanted to make would be a based on a Story I've written.

 

the Story is called: 'Legend of the Swordsmen'. thats the link to the story on Fanfiction.net, no registration needed to view it.

 

if you want the short form, 'Legend of the Swordsmen' (often referred to as 'LOTS') revolves around a young boy with a military back ground that grows up with the most horrible of experiences of the world. at one point, he joins the Military at age 14, but manages to get a wife who is Native Japanese. the story I've linked you too is just first part of a long Saga as it were.

 

and this story is basically where you see him and his future wife growing up, and in the end getting married.

 

From close friends I've had so many good comments, so I figured that it might be worth making an RPG out of.

 

also, you might find it interesting to know that LOTS is sadly not a complete original story, but actually an original story with a lot of crossing over into existing things.

 

Hope that tickels anyonce fancy

So that's what it says. Then google is off, here's what the google translator had "Oh, come together we can work it out .. a futuristic project sounds so bad". When I read the part with the "young boy with a military background " I automaticly thought of Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic! The story does sound interesting.

"Oh, come together we can work it out .. a futuristic project sounds so bad"

No, google is correct. It's just the exact opposite of what he means. :)

 

Welcome to the forums. You can achieve moderness with the RTP tilesets, depending on what exactly you're trying to create. We can get you some military tilesets though. The RPG Maker XP demo game is a military game, so they have got some tilesets you can use. We also have some modern characters which you can find in our gallery and downloads manager. Here are the ones in our downloads manager:

No, good is correct. It's just the exact opposite of what he means. :)

 

Marked is correct. The Google translation was correct, and at the same time it was incorrect.

in terms of a literal Dutch to English translation, its highly accurate. sadly, some words in dutch can have a different context depending on the use. which is similar to the English "Thats not a bad Idea"

 

Still, I prefer English over Dutch :P

 

When I read the part with the "young boy with a military background " I automaticly thought of Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic! The story does sound interesting.

 

Oh lol.

Yeah, but the main Character in my story isn't totally Dense as Sousuke. though he does retain a little bit of his Military view towards the world. also the manner in which the main character (Named 'Thomas Dutch' by the way) reacts to certain situations is mostly hugely out of proportions. for example: If someone close to you got killed, and you know who the killer was, you would step towards the local authorities. Thomas for this matter doesn't do that, he will start a personal war to get payback.

 

 

Another major differance between Thomas and Sousuke, would be that Sousuke uses Guns but Thomas uses Swords as his prefered weapon.

Thanks for the link Marked. I'll check it ASAP.

 

as for locations, Dutch Urban area's, Japanese Urban area's, military bases. Area's you'd come across regular. thats what I need the tile sets for.

 

I could always try to make them myself. Sadly, I fear that I'll end up with a half assed job so I'd rather try to find existing stuff thats better then anything I can create.
