| Some REALLY handy tips for making a good RPG with RPG Maker XP
Some basic things you need to know about first: The Database The database is where you decide the hero's name, the hero's stats and how they increase each level-up, what monsters you fight, the items you use, weapons, armour, skills available and various other settings Switches These are used for various parts of the game, like if you want a door to open when you press a button in the game. You can set switches so they activate when your character does something in game Variables These are basically switches, but allow things like counters. So you could set a variable to count how many monsters you've killed, and when you kill, let's say 25, a person would now give you a better weapon as they deem you worthy of using it (whatever) As long as you know the three things you are on your way to making a good game. THE BASICS To start with take note of the bar of quick select icons at the top of the screen: 
These are what they do when clicked from left to right: New RPG Open RPG Quick Save RPG Cut Copy Paste Delete Selected Area Undo Lower Layer Middle Layer Upper Layer Event Layer Draw Pen Draw Rectangle Draw Circle Flood Fill Select Area Zoom 1/1 Zoom 1/2 Zoom 1/4 Database Resource Manager Script Editor (Not explained in this tutorial as I don't know any Ruby code) Music Player Test Play Game The next thing you should take immediate note of is the Map Viewer. This shows your RPG's maps and sub-maps (you can make as many sub maps inside sub-maps as you like). 
To create a map or sub-map, right click on either the main folder name (In this case it's named Example RPG) or right click a map already created (to create a sub-map) and click add new map 
Placing Tiles You have probably noticed the bar on the left with the pictures of a broken bridge and a tent and some trees and bushes right? This is the TileSet which has been set for that map (In the database it is tileset number 001, which is the default tileset when you create a new map). To place a tile is simple: left click on the 32x32 image you want to place (32x32 is the size for each tile in pixels) then left click on the place in the map screen to place the tile. When placing tiles there are some rules that must be followed: The lower tile layer is where you place any tiles without a white background (nearly always the autotiles shown below) The AutoTiles for the default tileset 
The middle layer is where you place things with white backgrounds, but mainly large objects like houses, trees or tables, as the third layer can then accomodate windows and table objects The event layer is where you place moving objects or objects the character can react with like people or doors mainly. I'll explain events more later on. Basic Map Creation You already know how and where to place objects on the different layers. When you put it all together the game can become quite interesting: 
I used one event which makes the fairy talk to you when you press the action button while facing it. Also, look carefully at the trees. If you look you can just about see where the second and third layers are. Events These are required for any game. All RPGs so far have CPUs talking to you. If you neglect to put these in your game will be EXTREMELY boring to play. I'm going to be editing this probably daily until it is finished... not sure how long it will take |

| "SWORD OF THE STORM!" *He takes out a golden looking sword, then slashes away Anyndir's attacks, then quickly floats back to the ground. He deactivates his Jet Bootsu then stads and focuses. A square made from 9 dots appears on his forehead* "WATER!" *An extremely large tidal wave with the power of a stampede of raged rhinos appears from the ground and heads directly for Anyndir, while a small hole was made so it wouldn't hit Omi* | |||

Yay craziness strikes through me again 
What kind of dreams do you all have? and what's your favourite/least favourite dream (well... could be a nightmare, but I hate them) I had this one dream not to long ago, whatever i said just happened in the dream. If in my dream i said "I have magical powers" (which I did) I suddenly could use magical abilities... and it actually felt real though. When I said "I want a chocolate bar" a bar of chocolate appeared in my hand and when I ate it, I could actually taste chocolate. I was actually tasting the dream chocolate. Also, this dream did get kinda wierd but I have forgotten a lot of it |

| "Not yet, silly grown up... ORB OF TUNAMI ICE!" *The large glacier begins to shudder then smash into large blocks, each and every one heading for Anyndir at super sonic speeds* "MANTIS FLIP COIN" *Omi flips out of the way far enough so hopefully Anyndir shouldn't be able to hit him until the ice finishes falling | |||

| *Jack suddenly stops and thinks* "Wait... the could be a reciever inside the black box on the helecopter... it is indestructible so the beast shouldn't have been able to get it" *Gathering some strength, Jack limps over to the helecopter and taps the side of it three times, and a panel opens out. He enters in a lengthy keycode and another flap opens up, giving Jack access to the black box. He enters a smaller code and the black box opens. Jack takes out a small chip and places it in the place the original reciever used to be. A small beep tells him it's working* "YES! We can now call for another helecopter... besides me needing a quick heal, anything else we need it for?" | |||

| "Okay then" *Jack presses a couple of buttons and turns round a frequency knob until he could hear a recieving sound*
Jack: "HQ, do you copy? HQ: "We hear you loud and clear Jack, what seems to be the problem?" Jack: "Three things... I'm terribly injured, we need more ammo, and we have lost nearly all our men... only me, Dack and Andy are actually at this position... Y-35 and Spartan are coming in our direction now, about half a click away" HQ: "Okay we'll send over the choppers right away... may take about 15 to 20 minutes, just sit tight" Jack: "Fine, over and out" *To Dack and Andy* "Better wait a short while" *Jack sits down and hears a small sound in the bush next to him. A small furry creature jumps at his neck with quite large fangs. He grabs it just before it touches him and squashes it with his hand, chucking it to the floor and stamping on it with his undamaged leg* "Well as long as no other wolf creatures come here then I'll be fine... you guys still allright?" (ooc: Yes I still have one man left, still got Andy) (Last edited by RYjet911 on 05-19-05 03:52 PM) |

| "I'm no warrior, I'm the Dragon Apprentice of Water. STAR HANABI!" *He takes out a small golden star and two twirling beams of fire and ice swirl towards Anyndir. As soon as they become within a few inches of Anyndir, Omi claps his hands together hard, and they beams explode into a sphere of fire and ice 20 feet in diameter. A hole 20 foot deep has also formed under neath where Anyndir is/was* | |||

| "That wasn't my master plan... bear in mind i am only 10, just a young monk... WATER!!!" *suddenly the ocean began to rise and the tide came in. Within the space of 4 seconds, the entire beach had been engulfed in 50 feet deep water, with 1 foot of the outsides denser than diamond, and unbreakable or evaporatable. Omi creates a small bubble around him, searches for Anyndir and swims very quickly towards him, ready to send a flurry of kicks and punches* | |||

| Jack: "Hey Dack what are you seeing there?"
*As Jack says this the chopper lands a few feet away. Two men run out and take Jack inside. For only nearly two minutes, Jack had been put in the tissue repair machine getting his leg and chest repaired. He walks out, not used to his leg as anyone does after skin tissue repair, carrying three full cases of Minigun bullets and a line of men in battle uniform, carrying Phasers, plasma grenades, plasma autorifles and a lot of other ammo* Jack: "Well HQ have always lived up to their word" *He hands the cases to Dack* "Better to stay here until the others show up... just gotta hope nothing has happened to them" |

| *Omi attempts to control the evaporation, just succeding to increase the strength and thickness of the casing.* "ORB OF TORNAMI ICE!" *He creates a slab of permafrost ice around his foot, and still carries on through the gas still trying to kick Anyndir* | |||

| (ooc: Hehe, I'm already in a battle with you... oh well)
*Sanigen slowly walks towards the adamantine covered figure, curious to who his opponent was* This is gonna be a tough battle *He starts to draw the symbol for Kajaei Ultimaei, then draws another symbol which he hits the center with the palm of his hand, causing a large bolt of electricity fly towards the mystery figures head* |

| *Omi stands not taking any notice of the cold* "That is very foolish, I have been quite happily frozen for 1500 years once before... the cold does not really affect me" *Omi allows the huge box of dense water to dissapear. He follows Anyndir into the cave systems* "TSUNAMI STRIKE!" *Omi suddenly jumps up and spins at a fast speed, then launches himself at super sonic speeds towards Anyndir* | |||

Jack: "Okay... so we're all still here at least" *Jack walks around a bit to get used to his leg again* Chopper Pilot: "You have new orders from the general... they are listed on this sheet" Jack: "We've only been here a couple of hours" Chopper Pilot: "Well you need to stay here still... those wolf like creatures you guys have been seeing, there is a mother around here somewhere... it is only small and it gives birth to tiny little things, but they fully develop within five minutes into the savage beasts you've been seeing... the fathers were those flames, ice and electric wolves." Jack: "Lucky the kids haven't taken from their fathers... so you're saying we must find and kill the mother" Chopper Pilot: "Read the sheet" *Jack takes the sheet and begins to read it: New Orders: Take whatever remains of your army and the forces we've sent you to the center of the island. There has been discovered a nest for the woles you've been seeing. We need you to empty the dynamite we have sent you into the bottom of the nest and hopefully wipe out the race of the wolf like creatures* Jack: "So where is the dynamite?" Chopper Pilot: "Here..." *He hands Jack a case of dynamite* Jack: "Well we got our orders... a bit suicidal but orders are orders. Better get going now otherwise we won't get there before evening" *He takes his share of the new reinforcements north west to the island center* |
