Finally, a working link. Thanks goes to Kaniaz for hosting it. Remember it's still pretty beta and only a demo.

So you do this:
http://www.winsite.com/bin/Search?id=2500000036460 (EDIT:Number 8 and number 6)
So you'll have a folder called (for example) RM2K that has the RM2K components in it and a folder called RTP also in it. Then you unzip my game to that folder.
You don't need the RM2K part but it allows you to make your own games relatively easily. The RTP part is needed.
You select the RPG_RT.EXE file to play. Arrows move, enter selects/continues dialogue, and F12 brings you to the title screen. On the title screen, sleep starts the game, dream continues the game (if you have a saved spot), and wake up ends the game.
I hope everything works this time.

This is the post with the working stuff Naruto. It was on the second page. This program does come with everything you would need but I want the graphics to be customized, it makes things look better and makes things more satisfying. Thanks Anima/Aphius. Do you think I should update the face graphics for OpheliaBlue and O'nus because of the new avatars? To update, I now have Squall, ffx-dreamz, nightowl, Aphius, Lomebririon, Kaniaz, pOOp, Alaurast, Evanescent, Jin, Scwigglie, Truthbearer, and myself's graphics ready. I had O'nus and OpheliaBlue's graphics ready, but now I have to update their faces. I still have icedawg, wasup, Anima, and Joseph_Stalin to go. After that I can get the chipset, set up the level, and finally put everyone in it. Hope I got everyone and everything down ther.
(EDIT: Oh, yeah. Seeker, Paperdoll EP, and gameover might be in it aswell.)[/b]

Don't worry about updating it - anything you use will be fine, and everyone around here will know who it's supposed to be

Oh well, I already updated the faces. It wasn't that big of a deal. It only took me a couple of minutes.

You have inspired me to make my own game.

THank you Ldguy,

Btw can't wait to see all of us in yours.

WHen I play the game the screens all mesed up. What should be at the top is at the bottom. Its not right. And I walk off the screena lot. Somethings wrong here!

I really couldn't say what's wrong. Sorry, but I haven't encountered anything like that. You got the same download as everyone else that it worked for. Maybe your graphics card is messed up?

well shit. What am I supposed to do. Everyhtin else works on this computer. ITs like the picture is off center so the top goes so high that it appears on the bottom. get it? If anyone has any ideas Id appreciate it. I wanna try this game.

Maybe try redownloading it? Or close every single program when you play it (unless you already do that anyway). Or download that program that lets you make your own games and open his game in that and play it from there..

Re adjust your moniter.

I'm pretty sure it's something with your computer settings. I had the same problem a couple of years ago when I was playing FF7.

(Of course that's an entirely different game, but the point is it's not the software's problem.)

You could run the game from the rpgm2k so it doesn't go fullscreen like Scwigglie suggested.

Well, what should I readjust it to? Wht should I change?

ok...I got it working. How much of the game is done? Only past freddy? THen it says demo over.

I've had to work on graphics the past couple of days but now that I'm done that I've started on Dream Views Kingdom. I've started on the village area and have finished the entry exam area.
P.S. Did you like it?

it was a cool start. Im anxious to see the rest.

Im trying to take a hand at creating a game myself but I just dont get it. I cant figure out how to get one event to work in anyway. ALl I can do is get some guy to wander around aimlessly.

WHOO, me too! I can get him to bump into something and a message pop up, too.

Okay, if you make your own charsets/sprites thingies, do you upload a bunch of separate images or all of them together on one background? I think it's the latter, but I don't get how that works.. meh.

You have to have it in certain dimensions and a certain setup, but yes, it's best to package them as an eight pack. Anything greater than an eight pack won't work. Open a character sprite from RTP to get an idea of the dimensions and setup. On the link to RTP and RM2K is a program called Idraw. This is the program I use. You have to have the picture the dimensions of an eight pack to import it anyways. The background has to be a solid colour. When you import it you pick the background colour and it will blink. This means it's selected as tranparent. Try looking under help in the program for an idea of how to make events and work with the program's interface. Hope I got everything down.

I'm unsure if I'm happy with this level. I think it's good, however not as good as the last one and the intro. Here's a link to the update: http://springfieldwesterntack.com/kstuff/d.../ldguy/TED2.zip
Hope you like it. If you don't, please tell me why so I can make it better. It would probably be best to overwrite the old one. If you don't already have the old one, please refer to the second and fourth pages to learn how to make the game work.

Not bad so far.

Might try to add name tags so we can identify people.

I really like where this is going. Keep working on it. I'd like to see the final result.

By the way. To save press escape and select "Remember" this will bring up the save menu. I know of a few spelling mistakes and what not that I've fixed for the next update.

he told me this AFTER i beat it haha...i;ll have to start over ;_;

btw....love the game..it's awesome..especially my part ^_^. sorry, but soul stealers overall rule.

i loved how there were inside jokes and all...=D

He cool I speak!!!!

BTW: I'm the large armored guy with wings making art in the basement when JS comes a gripes lol

I just finished downloading and playing the demo, and I must say, it's pretty good!

Heh, though I believe the argument in the game was a little one-sided! Funny to see me walk out in rage...

It would be funny to see me come back later in the game trying to turn the medivel kingdom in to a communist one, desperately trying by myself to overthrow icedawg


*though doesn't recall Stalin with spikey hair* Perhaps after 50 years a change was needed...

Overall, nice work :bravo:

Pretty cool, I like how you put in a bunch of Dreamviews users in there. However I wasn't sure who a few of them were, at first, but that was awesome how Kaniaz was just moving around in circles

Only criticism is that all you do is run around talking with people, but it's not finished yet, so meh.

What the hell, I had to re-download it, and now all the text isn't showing up. What's going on?!?! I can play it as if normal, but the text doesn't show up at all!
