What Are RTP Resources?

[Teabone]

Hi all,

I had a simple question, or at least i think it is. When it comes to RPGMaker RTP resources what exactly does that all encompass?

I currently make all of my own media which its includes pictures, battle-backgrounds, characters, battlers, icons, animations, tiles, sounds and music. I'm wondering, what else falls under the RTP umbrella?

What would make my game RTP-Free? As I have created all my own audio visual resources. I am mostly using Rpgmaker XP so I am not using any plug-ins or anything of that nature either.

The RTP is all the graphics and resources that comes with the engine. So if you make all the graphics, music, sound effects and stuff yourself, or buy or download stuff by other people who made entirely original graphics, it'll be RTP free.

@Elissiaro is wrong, RTP is NOT limited to graphics.

it basically includes all resources for the game that were included with the engine, which means both audio and images.
it's most often talked about the image part as images can have different styles and one of them is the RTP-Style, but the licence itself (as in "The RTP can only be used in an RM-engine" covers both images and audio files.

Yeah I noticed I made that mistake and edited my post like a minute after posting. Or a few minutes I guess.

I always thought it meant that you map your maps with a tileset whether 100% custom or stock. Crap, I've been telling people who have been asking all year I am using RTP method haha.

Thanks guys this is very helpful. Will most likely be helpful for others too who are curious as to what it means. I'm going for a 100% unique feel and style for a game project im working on. Want no traces of RTP
