RPG Maker Forums

Good evening people!

Recently I bought this tool from the steam sale, and I really hope someday they add the IG maker tool and discount it on steam as well and I got to say It has brought a huge deal of fun and enjoyment in my life (thank you devs) as I really don't know anything of programing.

I've advanced my way into my game as there's plenty of resource materials out here and on youtube to help, however there's a limit as how much help I can find without making up my own topic, so I've got a couple questions I hope to find some answers.

1.-what's the best script for someone that knows nothing of programing that can help me have a battle system similar to "From the abyss", "shining soul 2", "baldur's gate dark alliance (ps2)" in other words, something similar to zelda but not like zelda, lets say my controls are the keys aszx, lets say I want
A - regular attack (press 3 times for combo, hold for a charged attack)
S - interact with the enviroment, the "action button"
Z - special spell/attack 1
X - special spell/attack 2
it doesn't have to be exactly like that, as far as it goes I would be happy with achieving real time combat with  A = slash with preferably to little to no coding, I've got a friend who can help, but I prefer to not bother him.

2.-I can't find a way to rename:
-The health bar, let's say I want to name it "blood left" or "resistance to possession" or anything else that is not HP, same goes for MP.
-enemies attack names, I've found how to change regular attacks in a window I don't recall the name at this moment, but I can't stop the slime from just tackling rather than IDK striking with "napalm slime attack" or something among the lines.
-game over window and what happens unpon death; okay this probably can be the most tricky one, what if I don't want it to say "game over" what if I want my character to colapse zelda style and say "you died!" RE style and then you spawn at the nearest Inn, checkpoint or somehting like that?

3.-(GIMP related) is there any way to easily and quickly make color palette swaps? you know like in fighting games color palette editting where all blues are selected and you can change them into orange and the lighter and darker shades adjust with the main color? tbh I never used graphic design software until I played this and currently I'm going in pixel by pixel or bucket by bucket, but I think there could be a faster way.

4.-are there empty templates for character portraits and sprites? like the right size with lines dividing the spaces for the portraits so I can make multiple portraits on one sheet (when you create a portrait in here there's 7 more slots, however there's no divisors telling me where a portrait starts and ends)
same goes for sprites, IDK if there's any empty template with the most basic human figure for me to fill as my heart contents, I've seen a couple of these ones on google, however I don't know which ones are the best nor compatible with RPG maker

5.-what's the best way for me to export to send this to a friend without RPG maker? recently I sent the zipped game files to a friend with RPG maker, but when I tried to export (through the in-game option) for someone who doesn't have it I ended up with a 200mb file ._.

I think that would be everything for now, I deeply appreciate all your help and specially your time and attention in reading my questions.

Cheers!
