Maybe I am the stupidest person on earth... Well, I couldn't test it yet, but I have an idea: Open DList.h and swap the member definitions of "int count" and "T *items" in the class "DList" so that "items" comes first (i.e. swap lines 10 and 11). You may notice that "RPG::monsters->count()" doesn't even compile... So open Catalog.h and replace "list.count" with "list.list->count" in line 34. About the second problem: I don't think you are using these, but I mean check their values. Maybe the action is already starting or something like that...

Oh, I now searched my mailbox for your address and found it. Strange that I didn't notice. Anyway, both problems seem a little bit strange. I cannot say what's the problem without actually debugging it, and I don't have time for DynRPG development (including debugging) at the moment. The only idea I have for the second problem is that maybe you are somehow messing up the internal action processing... Pay attention to the actionStatus and longAction fields of RPG::Battler. You can also take precaution by setting action->skillId = 0, maybe it helps (skill #0 is ignored, unlike item #0 which crashes)... I am not sure.

Hello everybody. @ProGM, where did you contact me? I cannot remember getting any message from you. @All: Did you check the internet for plugins? There are already very useful plugins out there, most of them created by Kazesui and dragonheartman (can be found at rpgmaker.net), many can be downloaded on my website too. Plugins include date and time, pathfinding (see ), particle effects (see ), rotating pictures, drawing text (see ), better variable pointers, an external variable storage with arrays and matrices, picture effects with better blending modes like and/or/add/sub/... (see ), faster ATB in battle, animated monsters in battle, etc. A "no ATB" plugin is in the works by "Corti" from the German community. dragonheartman is using lots of custom plugins in his game, check his YouTube channel (search for "Starless Umbra" - check the battle system out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUvhna9qKsU ). He hasn't released any of them, though - except for the animated monsters - but you could ask him (he is at rpgmaker.net in the forums). He created plugins for minimap (see ), a "threat" system in battle, custom damage popups and HP bars for monsters (see ) and much more.

You probably mean RMEventFactory: http://cherrytree.at/download/?did=11 However, be careful when replacing variable IDs, because it replaces all values (also invisible ones, like settings of the variable operation type), not only variable IDs.

There is no lag unless you are displaying images in a loop - but that happens also with an unpatched RPG Maker :)

To avoid problems and errors at converting from RM2k to RM2k3, you can use the following method: - Create a new project with RM2k3. - Go to the database and the tileset tab. Click "Array Size" and change the number to the maximum. (If you forget this step, you might get an endless loop of error messages during the next steps!) - Close RM2k3. - Copy all files with the extensions LMU and LMT from your old project to the new one. Overwrite existing files. - Copy the content of c:\Program Files\ASCII\RPG2000\RTP into your new project (otherwise the resources from the RM2k RTP won't be found - note: copying is enough, importing is not necessary). - Download my extension RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate, because one of its features is opening the RPG Maker up to 100 times. - Open your old and your new project at the same time using RM2k9U. (Your maps will appear completely black, that's normal at this point.) - Open the database in both projects. - Go to the heroes tab in your old project. - Right-click the first hero entry. Choose "Mass Copy" and enter 99999 (it'll revert to the max. number of heroes you have automatically). Click OK. - Go to the heroes tab in your new project. - Click "Array Size" and change it to the same value you had in your old project. - Right-click the first hero entry. Choose "Paste". - Click "Apply" - if there is an error at the next copy, you won't lose your work this way. - Repeat these steps for the other database tabs (skills, items, ...). - Then, fix the remaining stuff (hero stats - they probably will be lost, system settings, vocabulary, some settings in monster groups) by hand. You are done.

Hyper Patcher 2 allows you to increase the picture limit to 9999 for RM2k v1.07 and to 126 for RM2k3 and all other versions of RM2k. Please read the English instructions on the website!

It won't work - normally. But if you use the PicsInBattle-Patch, you can just call a common event with show/move/erase picture commands in it!

If you use AutoFontInstall, the player doesn't have to install anything and it doesn't replace anything which is already installed.

Since RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate doesn't modify your project (it doesn't even modify your RPG Maker on disk, just in memory), there is no problem.

The RM2k Font Changer is outdated. There is a newer tool, which works with more files too: http://cherrytree.at/download/?did=10 Although it's German, there is an English manual on my webpage.

I'd suggest to use the BetterAEP instead (this will also remove the Mega Patch). It has several advantages: For example, startup is faster, and you can call the load menu without stopping the music, and you can also use ESCAPE to exit to the map (instead of restarting).

Thank you for posting my tool here. However, you should not use 1 and 2 as "magic values" in your examples. As noted in the manual, and also in the main window, you shouldn't use values below 15, and you should use uncommon values like 777 or 8765 (but not 100 or 50), because otherwise some things could be replaced you don't want to replace (like the KIND of a change variable command, this means, the option box you tick). By the way, RMEventFactory can also be used for creating events with 10 or 100 pages, etc. quickly, because the images in a charset can be enumerated. See the included examples. Best regards, Cherry

Hmm, that's too much for now. A small change like the "^2" you said before would be possible easily, but that's too much work for me at the moment. When I have a lazy day, I will get back to you, okay? I have no team. I am just one 17-year-old from Austria, nothing more ;) I am using OllyDbg - but this information won't help you much, because it's not a "magical feature adder tool", but just a debugger. No, because RM2k9U doesn't change the game engine (rpg_rt.exe), it only modifies the editor. Some features don't require changes in the game engine (like the resources in subfolders), so they are possible. RM2k9U doesn't change the rpg_rt.exe, so it is no problem. Best regards, Cherry

In RM2k9U you can't do that, but I can patch the RPG_RT.exe. Tell me what formula you want, I'll try it. Which RPG_RT.exe version do you use? (By the way: @Gianmark: Right, I am from Austria.)
