Engine Support Forums

[Marked 197]

Last week I wrote in my blog about creating a category for an Engine Support category and the feedback seemed to be in favor. I hope everyone by now as noticed the category, complete with Engine icons.

 

I had planned to do this a while ago, but I wasn't really sure if it was a good idea. Eventually I gave in to my doubts and made the category active. This removes the topic prefixing(adding [XP] and [VX] to topic titles) which I thought was rather inconvenient and new members often forgot.

 

But this only removes prefixing in that category, what about all the other forums such as Tutorials, Projects, etc? Well as topic authors in recent days have seen, I have added post icons right below the topic title and description fields. They're unmissable, so you guys will be immediately reminded each time you post a topic whether or not you should be using an icon. The icons look like this:

Nicked 'em from Enterbrain :sweatdrop:

 

But these are not to be used in the Engine Support Category. And only to be used within the Game Making category. If you're wondering why that is, i'll be happy to explain it to you.

 

I have not finished moving all the support topics into their forums yet, it is very tedious work moving al the unmarked topics. I will do it over the next few days. If you reported any topics that still in the old support forum(now named Tools & Utilities, mainly thanks to evil cabbages contributions), i would be really really grateful.

 

Also you will notice support forums for RGP Maker DS and Indie Game Maker. These are all Enterbrain products after RPG Maker XP. I don't expect enormous activity in them, but why not. But if RPG Maker DS isn't released in english then I'll remove the forum.

 

The Game Making forum structure may change a little over the next few days and then I will retire from forum-structure change, I promise! Hopefully this one will do the trick.

 

I am wanting RMXP Unlimited to be more about making games.

Just thought of something that would be very useful.

You have XP and VX so why not have an XP/VX? Lots of things work for both game engines.

Looks great, just one small problem:

 

RPG Maker DS

Indie Game Maker Support, discussion and related queries.

 

 

:P

Oh yeah, I was meaning to do that. I was going to have one that said multi, but now that i think about it not a many topics aren't going to be XP/VX.

Oops :sweatdrop:

Thanks for pointing that out, changed it to DS.

Nice icons, perhaps you should add more for the other sections of the forum. Just a thought though.
