I decided that I should keep people posted on the updates that happen on this site, and so this news page was created. Obviously
updates before the coming-about of this page are not recorded, but I will try and record every update from now on ^-^ The updates
are below, in descending order from newest to oldest.
30th December, 2008…
Today I've written my Automatic Switches tutorial which should be quite helpful to people who want to make systems where a switch is automatically when a new
game is started. After discovering this technique, I'm bound to use it in some more tutorials, so have a look! I
also fixed a duplicate target link that I found on one of my pages - I hate to think how long that's been there, annoying people! I'm going to start writing
my mini-tutorial on random troops now, and I may or may not get that finished today, but it'll be done soon. After that, I plan to start writing some of my
Advanced Database tutorials, which should be quite a challenge - but quite fun! See you soon ^_^
28th December, 2008…
Today I did some work on the Event System tutorials and got the third one finished: my tutorial on Maps, Lists and Paper
, so that should be quite handy. Next I plan to write the Dashing Shoes tutorial, and hopefully begin to write some of my advanced Database tutorials
that involve making special skills and will even contain some scripting O-o So they should be quite exciting =P Well, I need to FTP this up onto the server,
and after that I might start another tutorial, so I'll see you soon!
24th December, 2008… Well, I never thought I'd be doing an update on Christmas Eve, but there we go! I
really wanted to get my resourcing tutorial finished - and I have, so that's up now. That's all I've done today really, so all that's left for
me to do is to wish you a very Merry Christmas for tomorrow, and a Happy New Year, if I don't see you before ^-^
23rd December, 2008…
Today I finished off the resourcing tutorials that I started yesterday and began the second one: Tilesets Advanced. It's coming on well, so that
should be up on the site soon. When I've finished that, I'll FTP the stuff up so the site is actually updated =P I'm so bad for doing loads
of work but not actually putting it up on the internet… See you soon!
22nd December, 2008… I'm actually writing this on the 23rd of December, but it's about
yesterday's update, so… =P Yesterday I did some renaming and some sorting out of the site, and then I began on my graphic resourcing
tutorials, which I have had a couple of people asking me about. I finished the foreword and the first one, so that should be quite useful.
23rd November, 2008…
Quite a large update today: I have finished my Day and Night System and modified my
Random Weather tutorial so that you can base the entire system on common events and not have
to paste an event on each map, which should be a lot better. I have also fixed some really stupid errors like links pointing to the wrong
target and a couple of typos, which I can't believe I didn't notice! I apologise to anyone who has tried to download my Parallel Movement demo
from the tutorial page and got through to my Cutscenes demo again =P I may do some more updating yet, so I might see you later!
Well, it is later now, and I have done a HUGE update - I've added a new section of tutorials to the site which you can mind on the menu
or on the Sitemap, or you can even click here, for your
convenience =) I've also completely re-written my Random Weather System tutorial because I
found a much better way to do the events so that you didn't have to paste an event in every map. In addition (I've done a lot of work today!),
I've planned out another new section called reference, where I am planning to put some Appendices on different things for you to look up things
like the different codes for the button inputs and a dictionary of every event command, which should be quite useful - so I'll try and get those
done soon. I also need to get my graphic resources tutorials done… See you soon! ^-^
13th November, 2008…
It's been a very busy few weeks for me (it always is in the run-up to Christmas) - but I have managed to do an update! I received an
e-mail from one of my site viewers who very kindly pointed out an error in my Party Switching script, which I have managed to fix. I have
also added a couple more fixes and stuff, meaning that you don't have to change the font in each Window_ script (it just takes the default
font name from the system) and some other stuff that should have been done ages ago =P Well, anyway, I have updated that, so sorry to
anyone who has found that little bug annoying! I am also working on a major fix for the problem concerning the muddling of actors when cancelling
a switch in battle, for which I might have to do quite a mega change of the script, but we'll see. If you would like to download v1.3 of my
script pack, head over to the Downloads page. See you soon!
26th October, 2008…
Just a quick update to tell you that I've added a link on the homepage to a site where you can get your hands on really cool free gifts like
Xboxes, PS3s and iPods. It's just a cool thing that you can do if you're getting bored around this time of year when the weather is rubbish
and stuff… Anyhow, have fun with it ^_^ There's a link here too, for your convenience =P
22nd October, 2008… Well, it's been a while! I have been doing some updating since I last wrote here,
but, in my true fashion, I haven't actually written the news =P Anyway, I have fixed one of the bugs in my script pack and have started to
work on getting the final one fixed - and then my script pack will be bug free! It's taken quite a long time… I'm afraid I won't be
finishing that off today; I am home ill from school with the worst cold ever and so I don't feel like doing much work that needs a lot of
concentration - but I might write a nice simple tutorial on how to do something =) Oh yeah - I also fixed the video on my
Common Events and System, which had needed you to download a codec to view it. Hopefully that's fixed
now, so sorry if that has caused anyone annoyances!
29th August, 2008… I have done lots more work on the site - adding tutorials, sorting out things
and the like. Today I finished three tutorials - my Follow-On tutorial, my
Parallel Move Routes tutorial, and my Branching for Positions
tutorial, which is the extra part for the Parallel Move Routes tutorial. I hope you'll find these helpful! Tomorrow I'm about to start writing
my Day and Night tutorial, and then I'll write some resourcing tutorials, I think, because these have been greyed out on my sitemap for far too
long… =P
I've done a little re-ordering and uploading and other stuff that you probably won't notice. I'm going now, but I'm going to write some more tutorials
tomorrow. See you then!
27th August, 2008… I've been doing a LOT of work on the site over the last few days, but I haven't
updated! Bad me =P I've been doing a lot of work on my newest Advanced Eventing tutorial (the list keeps growing!) on background movement
and follow-on systems, a.k.a using Set Move Route in special circumstances. I probably would have that tutorial finished if I didn't feel so
tired and am now going to go to bed at half past nine… Anyway, I am still struggling with my Variables Extended tutorial - I really need
to think of a system to illustrate the many uses of variables. I also added my Download page, which is a
bit sparce at the moment, but it will
soon fill up, I'm sure! Finally, I found another bug in my Party Switcher script so I will speedily remedy that oversight and get it sorted
ASAP. When I finish work tomorrow I will have four more days to myself, and then it's back to school already O_o Final year though, so it won't
be long before I am at college with longer holidays and more time to update! I hope you all had a nice Summer, wherever you are - despite the awful
British weather. See you soon!
13th August, 2008… I've just acquired my own full copy of RPG Maker VX. If you ask for my views, personally,
I think that, despite little bugs and maybe some restrictions, RMXP is still the best. But don't worry! I will keep on writing tutorials for
RMXP and I might even start writing some tutorials for VX too, if I feel like it or I get specific requests.
With regard to site news, I've started writing another tutorial on extended variables, so that should be finished soon. I completed a
Random Weather tutorial that should be quite helpful to one and all, and I also uploaded
a video to demonstrate a transition better than the slow GIF animation that I had there before, in my Common
Events and System tutorial, using my new video software. You never know - I might start doing video tutorials soon!
15th July, 2008… Have finally finished the fix for the distorted .png files. Took longer than I thought
that I would! But still, it's done - so people with Internet Explorer 6 or lower can now browse the site without the annoying blue
blackground to .png images (even if it does take a couple of seconds to kick in!). Hopefully now I can concentrate on getting some more
tutorials written!
15th June, 2008… Was browsing the site on our newly-built PC which has Internet Explorer 6… and
realised that the pngfix.js script was completely distorting my images O_o I am extremely sorry to anyone who has being trying to view this
site with IE6! I've started work on fixing it right away, but as this entails going through everyone one of my 50 website pages and then putting
in the width and height for every image on that page, it is going to be a very time-consuming process! But never fear - I will get it done very
soon. In the meantime, I apologise to anyone who has been using IE6 in vain to view the site - you may have to use the
old version of the site until I get the fix finished. Hopefully it will be done soon! ^_^
31st May, 2008… Wrote a Miscellaneous tutorial on how to make some very cool ghosts that randomly
appear and disappear. Check it out!
30th May, 2008… Wrote another tutorial on how to change my script system to accomodate more players in
the party. Check it out here. I also found a bug in my script O_o I fixed that and re-uploaded my
script pack. Sorry if that has caused problems for anyone…
29th May, 2008… Finally finished my party-changing script and wrote a
tutorial on how to install it.
I am planning to write another tutorial tomorrow on how to edit it to get more than seven players in the party - so watch out for that too!
28th May, 2008… Made some adjustments and fixes here and there, like making sure the links at the bottom
of my script fix tutorials were in working order. I'm working on quite a big script at the moment, but when that's finished, I'll be writing
some more tutorials on eventing systems and the such. Oh - I also added some code to each of my pages which should fix the .png transparency problem
for those of you with Internet Explorer 6 or lower - which means that you won't have to use the old version of the site anymore. However, if
it doesn't work for some reason, you can find a link to the old version of the site
here. I also added in some Google tracking code, but that won't make much difference to you =P
30th March, 2008… I finished the first of my Script Fix tutorials,
so those should be helpful. I'm trying to think of some interesting tutorials to write, but I'm failing a bit! I also repaired the title image
and sorted out some other things here and there. I'm off to write the second of my script fix tutorials now - so I'll be seeing you!
8th March, 2008… It's been quite a while - but I have done a pretty major update, which you will have
noticed, even if you're not overly observant =) I hope you like the new design of the site - but if, like I say on the
homepage, the .png transparency doesn't work, you can go back to the
old version of the site instead. More tutorials coming soon - probably some more advanced eventing ones. Also, I'd
like to hear from you! Request a tutorial that you would like to see on the site - perhaps something that you always forget how
to do, or something that you find particularly tricky. As long as it is suitable and relevant, I'll do my best
to write one ^-^
3rd December, 2007… Hmm… It's been a while, huh? Anyway, I've finished the
Advanced Eventing tutorial on doors, so that should be quite handy. Also, I updated the site map so that the links
weren't leading to nowhere, and I added my contact page. Quite a bit of work for two evenings!
18th August, 2007… Finished fixing the images and began putting together the first of the advanced
eventing tutorials, so they will be finished soon ^_^
17th August, 2007… Fixed up all the tutorial images so that they look a bit better - just me being my
usual perfectionist self! Mind you, it did take quite a long time…
4th August, 2007… Created this page. Now all updates will be recorded and posted up here.
