The official release fixes numerous bugs that the pirate version has, including having a working installer creator, the games contain the fonts already on start, no longer reliant on DirectDraw and a helpfile that works on systems newer than XP!. :pope:

EDIT: sale over.

About the new 2k3: The resolution fix is not perfect, but has the proper 320x240-multiples AR so looks crisp. Hex-editing the string tables and other shit still works. There's some weird compatibility stuff I've encountered and might have to rebuild a few parts of the games for, but otherwise, it's great.

Post by: EpsilonEagle on August 17, 2015, 02:27:02 am: Well, better late than never I guess, having much less limitations however makes it very tempting to get since I still use RPG Maker 2003 to make a lot of my projects.

Yes, as long as you own the rights to all the resources or they have license to be used commercially.

Considering how wild west style RPG Making used to be, I wouldn't use any of the older resources as they have no clear TOS unless they were specifically done for you or by you.

Post by: datamanc3r on February 23, 2016, 06:10:48 pm: Yup, if I recall, most resources transfer over just fine (I remember somethings didn't and I can't remember what). You'll have to redo the map physics and whatnot manually but that just goes without saying.

Post by: Bridgeman on February 23, 2016, 06:37:00 pm: Yeah but I mean more like is it legal. I thought I read somewhere that you can't use resources from any RPG Maker in another engine.

Post by: datamanc3r on February 23, 2016, 08:38:37 pm: legal smeagol. I'd be surprised if they came after you because you ripped Alex out of the tutorial game in 2k and resurrected his blue-haired ass in 2k3. I guess I wouldn't put the game up on steam with ripped gfx with an intent to sell, but if your game's -that- ready then it's time to commission some artists to make it look good.
