Hiya everyone.I came to this forum because I am interested in rpg maker 3.I am tired of playing games that you can't modify stuff and create your own character.I tried playing mmorpg but those are a ever ending drug.

I thought of making my own game for instance,just for fun.A rpg with some mmorpg flavor of mine.Like making forbidden weapons,rare items etc etc.I won't make a career out of it.I was thinking of maybe getting rpg maker 3.What do you guys have to say to me before bying it? I know it's going to be a new experience and hard but I am willing to take the challenge.

I only have one thing to say to you.

If you do buy the game, make sure all the text in the game you make does not look like what you just typed.

Or I will STAB you.

French here,sorry. loll

I moved it to RM Dev and Help.

And to answer you questions, I think RPG Maker 3 is the easiest of all the RPG Makers. With the idea you posted about the MMO, RM3 might be great for it.

However, just keep in mind that RM3 is a strictly fantasy set of graphics. You won't be making a .Hack game on this. Everything in the game is pre-made, so you can't customize the buildings and all that.

Check the pictures we have in the News Room:

to see if that kind of style would fit what you need.

It looks great.It's perfect since i am new to this.

I got some other question

1- What is the maxium lvl that your characters can reach?

2-Can I make my characters travel from a boat?

3-Can I make the user use the same save data of my old game and make a new game that the user can use is save date into my new game?(Sorry for my english )

4-Can I make an alternate dimension area like Dynamis in ffxi?

1. 99

2. There are no vehicles that you can control. However, there's a ballon that use can use to simulate air travel, although you won't see it move or anything.

3. Not quite, but maybe. The Long RPG Trick:

might help you.

4. I've never played FF11, but as long as you use what RM3 has inside, then I'd say yes.

Other question

1-Where can I find the max drive at a good price?

2-.I want to have only 1 class to play with but I want to give the user the choice of selecting which class.Is it possible?

3-How many maps can you make for a game.How many worlds??

4-Can you rename the monsters?

oooo yeah - CAN you rename the monsters? Because I really wanna label my goblins "Snotlings"


24 more hours before I can play with it

1. Max Drives are in heavy production. You should be able to find one in a game speciality store, Wal-Mart or Ebay.

2. Yeah. You could make three different characters with the same name and abilities (but different classes, naturally), and then give players a choice there. Then, add the character based on the selection.

3. I think it was that you could register 30 Fields (world maps) and 300 Dungeons/Towns. I don't have the game in front of me, and I don't know off-hand.

4. Monsters are renameable.

I will definetly get this game.There is one last couple of questions that I have.

1-I heard that you can make maximum of 100 characters.How does it work if I want to have many monsters in different field??

2-Can you remane the weapons also?

3-Can you add special attributes to each weapons?Like add 999 dmg etc.?

1. Yeah, 100 character limit is true. On the field, you can have a decent amount of different monsters on it. Not exactly sure on the number, though.

2. Yep.

3. Maybe not add 999 damage, but other stuff.

1-Is there a memory limit for this game?Like 8mb or less?

2-Also,what kind of attributes can you add? Can you add +1,+2,hp+2 etc?

1 It takes up, like 2000-3000mb on a PS2 memory card

2 Yup

Thanks for answering, but you really have to shorten your avatar, Barloq.

So I'm just gonna add to it.

I made 2 character, 4 monsters, 2 villages, and a continent complete with islands. I was under the impression that when it said "Save **** information" - It did. I was able to go back between editors and preview, add, preview - so forth.

Then I turned the PS2 off. Now it's all gone.

Is there another save that I'm suppose to hit that I missed? Everytime it said "save World" or Save character" information - I thought it did to the memory card.

Nah, that just saves the changes temporarily. I can see how that could be confusing if you've never used RPG Maker.

However, the one you want is called "Data Management" (in the bottom right corner of the main 4 options (The World, etc).

It'll ask you to save to the memory card there. You'll also see the percentage of the database you've used, as wel.

Tough break on the save, though. I remember doing the same thing with the original RPG Maker. I was quite pissed.

Thanks for the pat on the shoulder. (^_^)

Now a question:

Off www.agetec.com's RPG maker page, they have this listed

Compatibility Specs:
1 Player; Memory Card 2705KB Above; Internal hard disk drive (40GB) (for PlayStation®2); USB Keyboard

This was why earlier I was worried I might really need the 40gb.
Now, after all the "typing" I've done, I'm tempted to buy a USB keyboard.
Has anyone here tried the USB keyboard to see if it works?

Yeha,which keyboard do you need for this game?

Any USB keyboard works. And works great.
