Thats nice to know. I quit Diablo II a long time ago. If Diablo III comes out, I'll have to get it. Also, let's hope that Bnet is still free; I heard rumors that they are going to be charging people monthly to play on Bnet. If that ever happened, I would never play it again.

The best would probably have to be Spyware Eliminator 4.0. It removes basically every type of spyware on your computer. I guess the only bad thing is that it cost $29.99. There are still pretty good free ones out there, but you should get this one.

The best would either have to be Super Metroid or Chrono Trigger. Super Metroid has fun and addicting gameplay, but is short and I have already beat many times. However, Chrono Trigger is fun to play and has lots of things to do, but is rather boring after awhile. So,Super Metroid

Creating a game in RPG Maker 2000/2003

Part 1

 

(I AM ONLY GOING TO TEACH YOU HOW TO MAKE AN RPG GAME IN THIS TUTORIAL!)

 

First of all, you need to find some resources. When I say resources, I mean Character Sets, Chip Sets, Music, Backdrops, and Enemies. (Also others) The perfect place to find thoses would be at one of these great websites:

But, before you save them, you need to create a new game. Once you click on "New Project", this screen will pop up.

 

 

The Directory Name is simply the name of the folder that it will make. You should leave it as Project 1, but if you are going to have a lot of games on here, name it the game name. As for the Game Name, name it what your game is going to be called. For project path, first of all, create a new folder in the RPG Maker 2000/2003 directory and call it Games. That is where we will save all of our games for now on. When your done, save your project in games.

 

 

When you're done, you'll get a screen with water put everywhere. We need to start off and change everything in the Database. Press F8, or go to Tools (at the top) and then Database to get there.

 

 

The Database, as you can see, if full of tabs and confusing variables. This is actually quite simple. (Click on the Help button for more detailed info)

 

(NOTE: For your first game, you should leave all of the items and magic the same, and add a few if you'd like. The only thing you should be changing is the characters and other graphics.)

 

Hero - Just name you Hero, or characters in your game, to whatever you want. For Title, thats basically their job.

 

Class - Here is where you find out what they are. For example: A sorceress will have magic and a warrior will be good in strenght.

 

Skill - This is the same thing as magic. Create the name, condition, and what the magic looks like in here.

 

Item - Create items that will appear in your game.

 

Monster - Create the monsters you are going to face in your game, as well as how strong they will be.

 

M. Groups - Create the groups monsters will be in. For example: if you put two Imps together and call it Imp x2, then put it on a field, you will have a chance to fight 2x Imps.

 

Attribute - Create and edit the different attacks.

 

Condition - Create different conditions you or your enemy can cause, like death or poison.

 

Animations - Create what the different magics will look like. Once you make a magic, go back to the skills tab and you can choose the one you made.

 

Animations 2 - Create the animations the hero will go while in battle. EX: Attack, guard, paralized.

 

Battle Layout - Choose how each battle will look.

 

Terrian - Create background that will appear while you are fighting.

 

Tileset - Creating the graphics while you are playing. If you click the Passibility button, you can choose which once you can go through. (The circle means you can go through it, the X means you can't. The Square means you can pass through up and down only and the star means you can pass through left to right only.)

 

String - Create the random message that will appear throughout your adventure.

 

System - Edit random things like Title and Gameover screen, vehicles, and main BMGs)

 

System 2 - Edit the menu and graphics of the menu.

 

Common Event - Make an event that will appear a lot of times (like a savepoint) so that when you need to make that event, you just choose that event from the common events instead of writting the whole event again.

 

If I went into detail on all of these, it will cover up too much. But, you can still look at the help menu if your having trouble. Don't worry; within the next tutorials, bits and pieces of the Database, as well as many other things, will be covered with details. Also, the Database is a huge chunk of the RPG Maker; it may be boring, the fun of creating a game will come soon.

Sim City 3000 is a lot harder then 2000 so I would have to go with that one. The one for GBA is hard to control. And the one I played for SNES has crappy graphics and not many options.

Eww...Metroid Prime 1 was bad enough so I wound not want to play MP2. The only good Metroid out there is Super Metroid. So, Nintendo made a mistake on Metroid.The graphics and sound are real good on it though so thats a plus.

Halo 2 is better then Halo 2 because it has better graphics and sound and gameplay. Plus, Halo 1 is not harder then Halo 2; play Halo 2 on Legendary and you'll see why.

The best camera I found was AIPTEX 4000 Digital Megapixel, and they only cost $130. If you want to buy a good, kinda cheap one, then buy this one.

i heard GTA san andreas had a ton of bugs, it didnt get good reviews b/c of this... again, only for the ps2... poor us xbox user

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That only happens every once in a while. For example, one time I jumped right through a store and fell out of the world. But, it got really good reviews at GameFAQs so I don't understand what you mean there.

Google is the best because of all its advance search features, like image search. Not only that, Google also has News, Froogle, Language Translator, and many other features making it the best to find stuff on the web. It also loads the pages fast and doesn't have ads.

Pretty good color scheme and all. Is your main site going to be dark like that? Very bad idea to have a light-background site with a dark-background forum.

The BEST game? I don't have any idea but I know that my favroite game is Zelda: Wind Waker.

Final Fantasy VII is the best out of the series. The only thing I don't like about it is how all of the sprites (moving characters or animals) are all blurry and more colorful, in brightness, then the background. Also, when they zoom in at one of the characters, it makes them look all blurry. If they could make a remake for PS2 or PS3, fixing the graphics and addings some stuff, it would have to get it.

D = Diablo (Diablo II: Lord of Destruction), and the 14 is how old I am. Some of my other stuff is fully spelled out. (Diablo_Master14) But, for times I cannot fit it, I just put Dmaster14.

Can you captailize the first letter of the heading on the top-right? It bothers me and makes it look like you rushed it. Anyways, besides for that, everything looks pretty good. I like the blue color scheme, also.

Well, you could get Jamagic, but it cost 115 Euro. But, it is very easy to use and it could easily make a game like Max Paine. I don't know of any cheaper 3D game makers, however.Oh and by the way. Jamagic is made by Clickteam, which can be found at http://www.clickteam.com/

The DS because of the two screens and the touch screen. It also has cool features like the Picto Chat, and some of the games I really want. I hear that the PSP takes a long time to charge up and even then doesn't last long. From all the bad reviews I hear about the PSP, I will not want to buy it.

Well, it is kinda plain so its size. If you could add some stuff between the text, or make the text longer without ruining its quailty, that would be good. Otherwise, it is a pretty good logo. Make sure you use some green on your website or the logo will stand out.

Well, I personally like Silver or a dark-colored background, but white is the easiest. It is the easiest because when you make pictures and stuff, the extra space next to the picture is usually white so it makes it look bad when you have a white-boxed picture on a black background. If you have a white background, it won't look like a box.

I like how it is 3D and how it stands up. But, yeah, it is a little blurry. You can use a .PNG image. They are usually never blurry and have good color. I use it for all of my images.

SMF is my favroite. It has a lot of features and it is easy to use. Invisionfree is probably the worst because it is somewhat hard to operate and there are a lot of errors. VBulletin is the second best because it is similar to SMF, but doesn't have as good features.

I am wating for the new Zelda and the new Castlevania, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. There is also a new Castlevania comming out for the DS, but I won't get that one.

The graphics, sound, and gameplay where the best back when N64 was the best system out. It still is fun to play but there are new and better ones out so I never play it anymore.

FF7 was the best. All the 2D ones before it were boring and overrated. All the ones after FF7 were rushed. FFX was the only 3D Final Fantasy, besides FF7, that was good. FF6 is the most overrated Final Fantasy in the series.

Since your site and black, red, and gray the logo should work fine. It looks pretty good too. Also, is is about a game? Because there are bullet holes in the logo.
