Need some help with creating locations and stuff like dungeons

[Darkness Void]

Hi I just joined here so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place wasn't sure where to add it, anyways I need help with creating a game in RPG Maker XP. I got adding events/custome sprites down but...I am just terrible with creating backgrounds. XD I did have a friend helping but he has his own projects to do so can't him for help a lot, but I just can't create backgrounds on my own I can use them but making them I can't. So I decided to join a RPG Maker XP forum and ask for help, my protect is...well it's a My Little Pony friendship is magic fan game (I DO have one that's using only the RPG Maker XP's default characters/stuff with a few custome things) that I started a while ago, here's a few screenshots.

I had someone help with adding in new Battlers and an affection system with her friends and a few characters but can't contact him anymore sadly...but anyways, I really would like help as I can't create the backgrounds on my own, well I can but they'll be bad/not very interesting I whether have someone that knows what their doing to make them. Anyways again sorry if this isn't in the right place could move it if ya want, if anyone would like to help feel free to comment, I have Skype so we can do stuff there and YES I will add/gave credit when I add the credits at the very end so don't get on me for that. XD But anyways I'll be so greatful if anyone could help me get this game done, and by the way it'll have a whether dark tune at times so won't be all kid friendly as the story involves Twilight and her five friends trying to save their homes from being destroyed by monsters from their version of our underworld.

EDIT:By backgrounds I meant the areas you can explore like inside a house, forest, a dungeon basically the overworlds. Sorry for not being clearer on that.

Are you a brony or a pegasisiter?

What do you mean by "background?"

More info please. Is it a battleback?

Windowskin (Not likely but worth a shott.)

What do you mean?

Yes I'm a brony, and by backgrounds I mean the areas you can explore inside a house, forest, a dungeon ect.

Most probably this is the wrong forum, as this is for solving problems of the type "I don't know how to do this part".

But unfortunately you don't even specify what kind of help you want, so I don't know where to move this.

If you're requesting pictures or other artwork, then there is the resource request forum.

If you seek help for the game development, then it goes into project recruitment.

The script area is for asking help with scripts, but that is probably the wrong area according to your post.

And please - use a title that tells the reader something new about your problem. "need some help" is nothing new, because you wouldn't post here if you don't need help, so that title is basically a wasted opportunity to get someone interested in helping you...

EDIT:

And what you call backgrounds are probably the maps if you want to explore them, is that correct?

 

[Faerypixel25]

Sir, I still do not understand what you mean by area. Do you mean map? You are still being very vague.

Ah sorry I'll edit the title, and I meant help with creating the areas you can explore the locations and all.

EDIT:Yeah sorry, I did look but couldn't tell where this could go in. But yeah basically the overworlds you create with the map titles, like if you wanted to create a town or a forest where it's easy to get lost in.

It's pretty simple, why do you need the editing?

*Sighs* You know what the titles are for? Where you can create a forest/town to explore, those are what I mean. The overworlds you could say.

Because I'm terrible at detailing, animating sprites I can do but when it comes to "creating" stuff title by title bit by bit I'm just uncreative there.

 

[Faerypixel25]

I see. You said animating sprites? Are you not happy with the sprites that are on the maker? If so you can go to the "Rescource Request," forum and ask for them. You would be surprised by the thing that people can come up with. As for the background. I might be able to do that if I could find a way to post the files containing the maps for you to download onto the XP. I would just need to figure out what you want in particular. If I made the maps would you create the events to go along with them or would I have to do that?

I'm very fine with the sprites, I said animated because I animate using flash 8 but only with sprites atm. As for the events, I could do them only thing I need help with is making said maps. If you have Skype I could share the file and you can go in and add the maps there, I know if it's a custome map that my RPG Maker doesn't have it won't load that map unless I add the file for it in the right file.

 

[Faerypixel25]

I am really sorry, but I can not help you under these circumstances. You see, I don't have skype. I don't have a webcam or any of that. The computer I am using is relatively old and it was a surprise to me that it could actually even have an RPG Maker. Sorry to waste your time.

Ah, well if you want we can do this VIA email or personal messages? No webcam needed either.

 

[Faerypixel25]

If I can figure out a way to give you the files it sounds like a deal! You are on XP right?

Yep, at first I thought it would only work for my PC as I use Windows XP but a friend the other versions could work also. But yes I I'm using RPG Maker XP.

 

[Faerypixel25]

I have a windows XP to. I will do the mapping all for free then. As long as you credit me in the game. Do you know how to put files on an Email? I just recentely got an Email so I am not the greatest with it...

Well to put a file in a email just use the paper pin icon (I use Yahoo Mail).

 

[Faerypixel25]

I use Gmail, but I can figure it out. For the email exchange I think we should do a private conversation so know one else can get our emails.
