Still with Trial Assets

[Nvelious]

I had started a trial version of RPG Maker VX Ace before I bought it on Steam. For some reason I only still have the trial assets from that version. I can not even truly create a town, as there is only rooftops for the graphics. Maybe it isn't the trial and I have messed up someplace, but I doubt the error is on my end. To paint it plainly, I have only a A and B tab for the choices of customization of my maps and have pieces here and there scattered that don't mix and match. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling three times now and nothing helps. Any advice would be much appreciated as I was going to buy 5 or 6 DLC's from Steam. Please and thank you if you have a solution.

All the Best,

Nvelious

Try create a new project and see if the tile sets change.

@Nvelious @broda Would redownloading the RTP solve this issue???

 

[Nvelious]

@broda Tried and did not solve anything, think it has to do with the assets that are being sent by steam itself. If I knew it was going to be this much of a problem, I would have just bought directly from here

@Reapergurl I have completely emptied the folders on both steam, and completely deleted all projects that I was working on for a fresh install twice now. To no avail. (Don't worry was still working on my first land mass and had no town truly built)

I'm guessing there is no true fix unless I find a way to import the local files from another source. I already have many extra resources, but it still doesn't mean I don't want the starting set as well. Any way, thanks guys for the responses. Will continue to try to figure out something

 

[Reapergurl]

Download the RTP from here instead.

I think that may help, given it has all the base graphics and such needed to create with VX Ace.

 

[Nvelious]

How would I go about doing that, I had no idea that was even possible. If you could please explain I would be glad and hopefully surprised if it worked.

 

[broda]

Oh @Reapergurl , I'm only just realizing now that he's got VX ace not MV. I only use MV.

@Nvelious I think she means this.

 

[Reapergurl]

@broda You didn't see that in the opening sentence? Hmmm...

@Nvelious Go here to get the RTP, or you can just Google it...

 

[Nvelious]

It worked, and nothing more than what I already had. Thanks guys, just thought that the game came with more assets default. Looks like it's either buy everything or learn to design lol.

Speaking of design, if you guys make content for the tilesets, is there anyway you could share with me what program you use to put them together.

Thank you guys for the help, now I feel stupid lol

 

[broda]

@Reapergurl Apparently not..

 

[Reapergurl]

@Nvelious There are many, but I use GIMP.

@Nvelious There is something wrong, as it does come with complete tilesets, indoors, external, dungeon and world. That's about 30 tile sheets. Plus a great many character sheets which includes not just people, but also fire/flame, chests etc. This enables full games to be made just with default assets.

Can you post a screenshot of the tilesets tab of your data base. I think it might be something there.

 

[Nvelious]

I would love to post screen shots, yet ever since I downloaded the entire system again (after the RTP didn't change anything) I can't find the folder with the tilesets in them. I get it through steam and there is nothing there. I'm not sure of the new path where all the information is kept, all I know is that I saved the file to documents and there is nothing there. Just a blank project, yet all of the assets are available in the game creator.

I'm sorry for all this trouble it's just I am new to all of this and need some hand holding just slightly lol.

 

[Nvelious]

Ok, found the folder, now i'm having the issue that I can't find my screenshots. Anyway, I hope this will help at least. I have 22 tilesheets and they are as follows. Dungeon A1-5/B/C, Inside A1-5/B/C, Outside A1-5/B, and World A1-2/B. That is the full list of the tilesets that I have available to me in game. If any are missing I have no idea how to attain those files again. If not, I must be missing something when it comes to building levels.

Once again, thank you for your time and I hope I haven't been too much of a hindrance

 

[Nvelious]

@Reapergurl I have only worked with GIMP once before and that was converting Skyboxes for a Unity project I was working on. I can see how it is easily used for the process, just make take some tinkering and a good bit of time to get it down. Thank you.

 

[Reapergurl]

Dungeon A1-5/B/C, Inside A1-5/B/C, Outside A1-5/B, and World A1-2/B.

Spoiler: You should have a Tile Set C for Outside as well.

Other than that, you have all the standard tiles in the set...

 

[Nvelious]

@Reapergurl your image link is broken, but it is fine, just bought 6 different DLC sources from the sale on Steam. Should help enough that it may not be needed. Also hit the forum boards for extra resources. That should help out completely with the project I am working on. If I ever need more I have a wallet I guess, lol

Appreciate the concern, but I guess I am not all too worried about it.

Thanks again

Nvelious

 

[Reapergurl]

@Nvelious Hmmm...it looks okay to me, but if you're satisfied then...

 

[Nvelious]

@Reapergurl I had to look back later for the image, for some reason it wasn't posting correctly until later. May have taken a while to go through. In all things posted here, after I messed up my project (see discussion posted above in the forum), when I re-downloaded it through Steam, for some reason I received the missing tab. That was about the 5th time that I had done it. So all's well that begins well I guess.

As to not continue to pester people in the forums, I will attempt from now on to figure things out on my own. I feel you guys are a decent bunch of people it's just that you shouldn't be expected to hold my hand every step of the way...and my questions can be posted on another forum area anyway, I was just concerned about the amount of content that was available right out of the box.

To be truthful with you, I have had VX Ace for going on a year now, I just finally decided to take it for a run given that my favorite, and first game I ever played when I was 5 was Final Fantasy (the original for NES). I pretty much have dedicated to making a full game.

Enough about me, just thought I would share. Thanks again guys/gals
