New Guy Here

[totalsticks 1]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm new around these parts, and I've been reading the forums, trying to soak as

much creative inspiration as possible for my new game. I have about Novice to

Average RPG Maker experience, all stemming from RM2K and RM2K3. I am now

primarily working with RPGXP (VX feels like a step backwards, IMO).

 

Im pretty good with eventing and variables, and I have absolutely NO idea what

I'm doing with scripts.

 

I'll probably be around for quite a while, as this place seems to be a good place

with lots of creativity and activity (#1 for me). I've been looking around for a

good place for a while now, and am happily impressed with this site.

 

So, thanks for reading my short greetings, and I look forward to working with

all of you. :alright:

Welcome to the forums! What's your favorite TV show?

[totalsticks 1]

Well, right at this moment I'd have to say that I'm really diggin Dr. Who.

All these years it's been on, and I hadnt seen it once.

[Wyzrd 12]

Welcome to the forums. Glad you enjoy it here. Enjoy your stay and stay with ;).

 

 

As far as Dr. Who at least you've seen it. I've never even heard of it.

Haha, thats sort of what I was thinking when I first started watching it. Its not too

bad, considering its a british television show about a time traveller, but all in all

I had a good time watching it. As for me sticking around, I'm sure I'll be doing that

since this place is pretty cool. There's even forums about for non-rpg maker stuff

as well, so it gives even more reason to not go elsewhere.

 

Anyways, about time I headed off (its 8AM here.. >_<) Aaaand.. Welcome Back.

Hey, welcome to RMXPU. Glad you like it here.

If you need anything at all feel free to ask.

Yea i like XP more than VX also.

[Wyzrd 12]

Well if it's a British show. That is probably why I have never heard of it. *shrugs* oh well lol.

Welcome to RMXP Unlimited. As for RMVX seeming like a step backwards...well so was RMXP. Yes it had scripting, but I stll like many features found on RPG Maker 2003.

Ho there!

 

Yes, Doctor Who is excellent. Especially the fanbase. It's pretty funny - every time the Doctor regenerates, the fans start whinging that the new actor's going to ruin it forever and they'll never watch the show again and yadda. Then they actually watch the Doctor and they discover they like him. :P

 

It's only natural to be confused by the scripting system at first. You can find tutorials on the Internet that will show you what all the different commands mean, but I've never been good with that kind of infodumping. Usually I'll wait until there's something I want to do that has to be done in a script, then look up exactly what I need to do and do it. Do that enough and it gives you a good starting feel for what the scripts are capable of.

Yes, RMXP was a tad stepped back from RM2K3 for sure, but I think XP had the perfect blend

of accessibility, features, and customization. I just feel like VX tried to take a step too

far towards accessibility, and lost a bit on the features and custom side. But thats me, and

other people have made great games using that platform.

 

@AbnormalHairGrowth:

Yeah, I myself had the luxury of watching the season finale the other day, and I was

mystified. Sure, the new actor looks a bit strange and unfamiliar, but the first minute

of him on screen had me laughing and looking forward to the new series. I personally

would really love to see Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles brought back, that was

my favorite show for a long time. :sigh: I had to move on to other shows since then.

 

As for scripting, I'm sure I can learn, but it definitely has a curve to it that I am

not all up for trying to master. There are a few things I'd really like to accomplish

with my game that need scripts, and I'll either script it, or I'll pass. Really, I

just need to make a solid game, havent done so in about.. 5-6 years. Of course,

my game that I made back then was horrible in so many ways, but it was complete.

 

So, what Im thinking is to make my game with what I've got, and figure out what did

and did not work, and improve upon the system.

That seems like a sensible solution. I'm terrified of scripts, myself. Wouldn't go near one if there was a chance I could get the same function through an event.

Scripts are fun once you get the hang of them. Dont worry i went through 100's of projects before anything.

Once you start with scripts you will want more.

Welcome to RMXPU total sticks. Seems you like it here.

[totalsticks 1]

I am in fact, liking it here very much. Welcome relief to dealing with LEET HAXX forums..

So, anyone check out my post in the Game Development Forum?

Yeah, I know. I actually did try them out once, back in the day, and it was fantastic. Then I lost the script I was using and since I haven't been near one in so long I've been terrified to touch them.

 

@totalsticks - Not yet. I'll check it out, yeah?
