RPG Maker VX Frequently Asked Questions

Question

General Questions

 

I have installed RPG MAKER VX, but it won't start.

 

Aside from installing the software itself, you must install "RPG MAKER VX RTP", which contains data necessary to create games using RPG MAKER VX. Install it by choosing "RPG MAKER VX RTP" from the installer screen.

Is it possible to convert project data from RPG MAKER XP for use in RPG MAKER VX?

No. The data is incompatible.

Changes to events I have made are not being reflected while playtesting.

Changes will not be properly reflected if you run a playtest from save data from before changes have been made.

About Event Commands

 

Is it possible to play movies or Flash animations?

 

RPG MAKER VX does not support movies and Flash animations.

Is it possible to set the map scrolling to "Wait Until Scrolling Complete"?

You can produce an effect similar to "Wait Until Map Scrolling Complete" by placing the Scroll Map set to 0 immediately after it is set.

I'm not sure how to create an inn.

You can easily create an inn by choosing "Inn" from "Quick Event Creation".

About the Database

 

When I register long character names or terms, they overlap with neigboring terms or run out of the window during gameplay.

In RPG MAKER VX, character size is automatically determined by the number of characters input. However, if a large number of characters are input, some characters may overlap with adjacent words or stick out of their display boxes.

I can't seem to make any recovery skills on the "Skills" tab.

Enter a negative number into the "Base Dmg" field to give the effect of recovering health.

On the "Skills" tab, I can't make any skills that modify the characters' status (like attack and defense power).

First, it is necessary to create a state on the "State" tab where various statuses can be modified. After doing so, add a "+" to appropriate state in the "State shift" field of the "Skills" tab.

I can't make any teleport or escape skills on the "Skills" tab.

It is necessary to first make a "Move" or other common event on the "Common Events" tab. You must then set the applicable common event in the "Common events" field of the "Skills" tab.

What is the maximum number of enemy characters that can be set to one group on the "Enemy Group" tab?

You can set up to 8 enemies.

No enemies appear when riding in a vehicle.

When riding the boat, ship, or airship, random encounters do not occur by default.

Events do not execute when I touch them while riding an airship.

This is inherent to the airship.

About Battles

 

How is damage calculated when a character set to "dual wield" makes an attack?

The combined attack power of both weapons is calculated as a single attack.When elemental weapons are used, the element of the weapon that has the most effect against the target is used (in the case that the enemy takes half damage from multiple elements, all are used).For example if a character has equipped a fire elemental weapon with attack power 3 and an ice elemental weapon with attack power 2 and carries out an attack, the calculation will be the same as attacking with a single weapon with attack power 5 and both fire and ice elements.

Can I change the battle system to a side-view system?

It is not possible to change the battle system. We elected to use a front view battle system for RPG MAKER VX.

When I assign and enemy character a large graphic, it sticks out of the screen when it is displayed.

This occurs by default.

Is it possible to set battle scene graphics?

Battle scene graphics can not be set in RPG MAKER VX. Battle scene graphics in RPG MAKER VX are handled programmatically.

Conditions for an autorun or parallel common event have been satisfied during a battle, but the event will not run.

This is inherent to the system. Autorun and parallel common events do not run during battles.

There are times when conditions for a battle event have been satisfied during a battle, but the event will not run.

Setting a battle event's "Span" to "Battle" will cause the event to occur only once in the same battle.

When battle event conditions are satisfied during a battle, it gets caught in a loop and no longer responds to player input.

Setting a battle event's "Span" to "Moment" will cause an event to be repeatedly carried out as long as its conditions are met. Use switches, variables, or conditional branches to control when an event occurs.

I set the Show Text position to top or center, but the message is being displayed at the very bottom.

This occurs by default.

About Resources

 

I'm having trouble importing tiles I have created into tileset E.

In order to import custom tilesets and title graphics, you must assign them a specific file name ("TileE" for tileset E and "Title" for title graphics). For more about graphic files that require specific file names, please refer to Help > RPG MAKER VX > Resource Specifications and overwrite the file.

Is it possible to designate which tiles the boat, ship, and airship can pass through?

In RPG MAKER VX, it has already been determined which vehicles can pass through which tiles. For details, please refer to Help > Maps > Passage settings.

The background music isn't playing.

This may be caused by incompatible (MIDI) audio settings on your computer or your sound driver or media player may be out-of-date. Check your current sound card driver version and visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.

The message "Unable to find file Graphics/XXXXXXX" is displayed and the game shuts down.

The (graphic data) file "XXXXXXX" that is trying to be accessed in-game has been deleted, or its file name has been changed. Please import the file "XXXXXXX" back into the applicable folder.

The message "Unable to find file Audio/XXXXXXX" is displayed and the game shuts down.

The (sound data) file "XXXXXXX" that is trying to be accessed in-game has been deleted, or its file name has been changed. Please import the file "XXXXXXX" back into the applicable folder.

I imported my own resources, but they aren't being found.

Have your resources been imported to the proper folder? For example, when importing character graphics, the import folder must be set to "Graphics/Characters".

Is it possible to release (distribute and sell) games I make with RPG MAKER VX?

Yes. However, please be aware that any information or materials in your game that violate or infringe the copyrights or publicity rights of any third party, or are defamatory, may result in legal action against you. We shall not be held responsible for any issues, regardless of the content, that occur as a result of the release of your game. You shall accept sole responsibility for the release of your game.
