Are RPGM games typically encrypted beyond the included "encryption" or do most just rawdog their code, plugins, etc.

- For a lot of newer games (MV/MZ), only the pictures are encrypted.
- If the game is MV/MZ and shipped as just an exe, you can usually crack it open with EnigmaVBUnpacker
- VXA games usually just need to decrypted with something like RPG All Decrypter, but won't have anything beyond that.

Hey everyone,

I'm considering making an incest patch for an RPGM game. This means I would have to change some of the dialogue of the game. Can someone please tell me how I do that?

Depends largely on what RPG Maker and how you want to edit it.

1.
If you want to hard edit stuff or directly replace stuff, possibly with find&replace (not suggested), you can directly go through the *.json map files.
These can be found in the www/data folder and can be edited with any text editor. But since they also contain lots of other stuff, it's not easy or comfortable to track down the text passages. But if the game has clear words you can search for, this can be a quick way.

2.
The other way relies on having the relevant RPG Maker the game was made with. For most modern RPGMs that's either RPG Maker MV or MZ. In those cases you...
1. Create a new RPG Maker Project in the editor.
2. Copy the content of the original game/www folder into the new project you made. (You'll see the similar folders, like "img" etc.)
3. You may have to use a to turn the images in the img folder into stuff the RPG Maker can read.
4. You jump into your newly made project that now has all the data from the game you want to edit.
5. You can now open the events on maps, go through the Show Text actions in them, and simply alter the text as you wish.
6. You can then get the changed files from the data folder and pack them into a patch players need to unpack.

3.
A third way may be to use some translator tool that gets you all the dialogue lines in a seperate script. But unlike that, you won't be able to change and test the changes as easily as in Method 2. I also haven't yet worked with one of those translate tools, so I can't give any instructions regarding that.

So there's no like one shot RPGM package that lets you run all games right? Best to install all the ones listed in the top post?

Nope. It depends on what RPG Maker the games you want to play were made with, and whether they used the RTP elements and whether they packaged them into the game or left them out.
Most modern RPG Maker games are made with MV or MZ, they don't need any. A lot of VX Ace games also don't need any, usually because they have the RTP inside the game files.

Usually you just start to launch the game - if you get an error for missing runtime package, you download and install that runtime package. If you wanna be save, you can, of course, just install all of them.

How do I go about looping videos in MZ so that they don't stop / go away until I want them to ? Basically like pictures, I want them to stay up there as long as I don't remove/replace them. I've seen games do it but so far the only in-game option I have is to just play the video once

You'd have to use a plugin like , which is unfortunately a paywalled plugin.

I'm having a problem with fullscreen in King's Exit and other RPGM VX Ace games and I'd really appreciate some help/clarification:
  • Alt+Enter just freezes and then crashes the game
  • F5 expands the 640x480 window to a bigger borderless window, but only half of the screen, I can still see my desktop and task bar bellow, also I cannot see the very top of the window, so it cuts some text.
  • And F1 "launch in full screen" doesn't do anything.
I have a 1920x1080 screen, my drivers are up to date, I've tried tons of compatibility configurations and nothing works.
I could've sworn that when I played it months ago I could go into fullscreen no problems, idk what happened.
Other games like Sphilia's Familiar looks too blurry with F5 and too tiny to play in the original window size.

I've read there are some tools to resize the game window or upscale rpgm games, I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Hello, I hope this is the right thread for this.

After a friend of mine got some bad experience with Malware, (tho not on this side afaik) I've decided to try and be a bit more careful and was planning to run games I download on here using Windows-Sandbox going forward.

However, immediately the first RPG-Maker Game I try to play this way gives me the good old "Failed to Initialize Graphics" Error. And I'm unable to figure out why.
I should have installed all relevant RPG Maker Runtime Packages on the Sandbox andmy System Locale is set to Japanese.

The game works fine when started outside of the Sandbox. I get the error both when I extract the game inside the sandbox aswell as when I extract it outside and then copy the entire folder inside.


If anyone here has any Ideas on where my Issue might lie, please share.

Did you install your graphic card drivers on the sandbox, too?

It might be useful if you'd say which game, which RPG maker, and on what windows system.
Overall though, obviously something is missing on the sandbox. Do you have a browser installed on it?

I assume it is something related to the graphics card.
Did not install the drivers. Would I need to install them every time I open the Sandbox?

Game was Sex or Death - Escape for 100 Million Yen. Unsure what RPG Maker version it uses.
My Windows System is Windows 10 Pro.

I have however since tested some other games that worked well, so it might just be an Issue unique to this game.

I'm not really familiar with sandbox systems, but from what I've seen this is meant to be a temporary test-bed. It should discard everything inside - including savegames - after you've finished, so I'm not sure if playing games in a Sandbox is really the solution you're looking for.

It seems to me the problem is that the graphics card can't really work within the Sandbox. There should be some option to enable a vGPU to have a virtual graphics card attempt to use the host's graphics card, so you might want to give that a try.

I haven't seen anything at a glance that should make this RMZ game launch differently than others. Maybe it's an issue with a specific plugin that tries to use some rendering method unavailable in Sandbox. Or it might be that the Sandbox doesn't allow RPGMZ to decrypt the image files, thus they can't be shown?

But overall, it sounds like you're trying to use a solution that probably isn't really meant to solve the problem you're having. Have you ever played a game in Sandbox again and loaded one of your saves?

I did.
I simply export the savefile out of the sandbox before closing it.

But yeah, even the games that work noticeably have more rough looking graphics and enabling vGPU alone didn't fix it either.

Probably gonna seek other solutions.
