[ianbach]

I know i have many file sin my folders of game I been working on which do not have associations in game. i.e. not used by my game just in the folders? so is there a way or a program that can check game vs folders for files used?

thanks any help appreciated much !!!

I am not sure, but I doubt there is any program that can do this for you. It may have to be a specialized program for RM if there were any.

The only way I know of is to manually check and remove each file, which is why I normally do not add files that I am not using at the moment.

If there is a way, hopefully someone else can help you out.

I think I've seen on a very old thread something that does that...

This one works with RMVX and RMXP, it PROBABLY works with VXA, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't takes into account the files used by scripting (or by notetags).

This one is from a friend, it checks a lot of stuff. But it's XP only. http://www.mundo-maker.com/t8805-ago-audio-graphics-others-finder (look for a link that says "AGO (Audio-Graphics-Others) Finder (Link con el código completo)").

This one if from Blizzard. It is XP-only too. http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,113.0.html

And this one is for VX and Ace. It's in... Swedish I think?? I'm sorry, I don't know the cyrillic alphabet, much less can say w "orz. http://rpgmaker.su/f26/resource-checker-2030/

That's all I know of.

I thought someone (Tsukihime?) wrote a resource checker of sorts, but it will only go partway there. It will not check for things used by scripts. So if you have something that's used only by scripts but not in any database items or events, it won't show up as being used, and if you delete it your game will end up crashing.

sounds cool I will do search with Tsukihime? oh is that the Hime? i betting yes. 

The only other way I thought and I sorta tested a while back

(but I still not sure if I setup start for player in each zone  , one after the other will just simple zone in expose all files used by events?)............

so if that would work its a sloppy slow way  guess since it will stop start up and show what file is missing in the error message

then copy paste back the files that were deleted from the folders that i had thought i didn't need?

here is some video of what I am working on. ATM I need a ton of work on populating the 140+ maps I made. I also need to finish / do about 20 - 40 more maps. I also could use help making the quests and other events other than mobs/npcs

This first video has some cut scenes that goto video shows parts of the movie to reveal tasks that need done. In this video the recording program fraps did not record the game video but it did record the sound of the video so... hope it looks ok. I still need to change some of the graphics (like the menu background)
