Awesome tutorial. Defineitely perfect for RPG Maker newbies.
Its actually quite cool man, of course it didnt teach me anything, but then im not a newbie lopl...
Nice! Your accent is truly amazing :P
Great tutorial man, Crank put it on the main site :D
Loved the tutorial man! Where are the others? lol
I'm a newbie, so I GREATLY appreciate this tutorial.
Thanks a bunch, man... this should help me get a good idea of some of the basic skills I'll need. 8)
I was actually planning on releasing a flash based tutorial, which I have recently decided against due to the fact that I only have the trial version of flash and the time it would take and the fact that I only know the basics of flash would make it a project in itself.
The tutorial is nice however I would like to point out that you don't need to put a local switch to be 'on' or 'off' at the beginning of each page. (Local switch = self switch) The only time where you would need it is when you have previously set it to on and want to turn it off. That was the one thing that I felt you should know.
Other than that minor detail, I think a congratulation is in order for being the only one, that I know of, to have made a video-based tutorial for this site. I think for your first attempt it is a good job. Keep up the good work.
If anything I said is incorrect, please correct me. I'm not known to be always accurate :wink: .
True, I just tested tested that, the switch thing. And a thank you.
Well, we could always do a Flash based tutorial, seeing as how I have Flash MX 2004 Pro.
Your video was awesome, I watched it all the way through and I thought it was very good.
New Video up, its huge! I lowered it from 700 MB! Its long thats why. A half-hour, of me talking. Basic Database, and BTW, put down some of questions so I can do a viewer mail episode! 8)
"Viewer mail" coming from me! :lol:
How do you use variables and what different ways can they can be used? (Because I still have trouble understanding these things, even with text tutorials... it'd be nice to see a video tutorial explaining it.)
How do you make a switch that is turned on when... lets say... a rock is pushed onto a certain tile? (This would probably involve variables tracking the X and Y coordinates, but again I'm not sure on how to do this yet.)
How do you make a decent intro event? (This question has been asked ALOT from what I've seen.)
Haha! I will try my best, I'm going to have to test that rock thing though...
Make one about CUTSCENES XD lol I dont understand how to make them..........
Quote from: BPKS0Make one about CUTSCENES XD lol I dont understand how to make them..........
lol, yeah that too! :P
I just messed around a bit and made my opening scene. But, a tutorial on switches and variables would be nice. :D
how do u make opening scenes? lol my game is kinda dull rite now cuz as soon as you start you just gotta know wuts goin on lol an opening scene would be nice
Check your messages, BPKS0.
Okay... I will be making a CUTSCENE TUTORIAL! (So that you know) Then, a variable one.
zxmeele, u must be an awesome computer guy thats wicked awesome
Yout toturials are good ZX<MELEE i liked them i look forward to watch the others for the heck of it they good I GOT CANDY!!!!!!!! :twisted:
Yes really, nice post zshadow
ya i watched your videos i didnt need any help but they were cool for some of the stuff i could have gotten from you instead of trial and error. all in all it was great it should be in the tutorials section of http://www.crankeye.com if they let you put it on there that was alot of megabytes. I do have one request though can you speak a little loader when you talk could barly hear you.
Hey, but at least there decently good for a kid (better than I can do)
Good toturials Zxmelee.
yea definatly
I feel so happy *Hugs a Teddy bear* And I'll talk louder.(Or you know maybe turn up your speakers lol :lol:) (*cough* sticky *cough*)
wen u think ull have it done ^^
Before the weekend.
*cough* Stick...y *cough* Yeah i liked them and i would like to see further ones.
Good luck with them and i heard Zxmelee fine.
Lessen Three: Cutscenes is up and running!
where can i find your tuttorials? on the first posts? i'll look there
Wow, I learned a lot with that last one. I am definetly looking forward to that variables one.
These are the best tutorials I've seen for RPG Maker, so keep it up. :D
Just as a pointer, to erase a graphic you could have instead of doing that way, change the graphic in the move-event command window, it is on last row, 5th command from the bottom "Change Graphic..." and set it to nothing, or a blank setting which would render the king invisible. Giving the same illusion of him leaving that you did without having to switch the events.
Just another way of achieving the same effect if anyone was wondering otherwise. Eventually I will work on my own text and picture tutorial for cutscenes, it is already started. I'm going to go into other aspects of cutscenes, some of which were shown here but others may not have been.
Overall a good tutorial on the basics of cutscenes, keep up the good work.
yes top notch! but i would work on speech skills (please dont take me wrong i understood every thing but with better speech skills is just better to have....) its only a suggestion
Actually, It's better for me that you don't talk all technical and stuff because
it's easier for me to understand you. Great job, Dude!
no not all technical! just have a clear voice and pronounce words correctly and try not to stutter....i'm not talking about you Zxmelee but those are good speech skills(in my book)kind of.....i seem to just be rambling on and on...so back on topic...when is your next tutorial going to come out?
When I feel so! Lol! I don't know maybe this weekend. I'm popular now!
Mr. Popular!
but okay ths weekend COOL
Yeah cool!
Well I didn't make this weekend...
BUT THIS IS WHAT I HAVE PLANNED:
On Wednesday : Tutorial on Planning a Good Game: Part 1 : To Write a Original Story (This will be a mini series)
After That : Tutorial of Basics of Variables (Sometime, I have school crap to do)
So thats what I got planned so far. Comments :^^: ?
Good luck, dude! :D
Thanks!
lol, i'de never download it even if i was a noob. 70+ mb for a small tutorial which only i don't know what can't learn by reading. lol
because if they couldn't do it by reading (because there english isn't good enough or something) then listening to english probably won't help a lot either.
but hey, nice idea. although wierd and a bit.. yeah, wierd :O_o:
Lessen Four: Making a Good Game Part 1 IS UP!!! With a new, smaller file size! Enjoy! Comments?
its gd but didnt like the comment bout crystals XD lol
Oh crap! I'm sorry, I was just trying to say to be creative, rrr..., hehe :lol: sorry about that.
lol it kk XD :^^:
i have a hard time making citys bigger than 92x75 you should make a tutorial of making a big city. no a massive city lol
i'm going to download your newest tutorial tomarrow...it sounds great!
Quote from: graywolfi have a hard time making citys bigger than 92x75 you should make a tutorial of making a big city. no a massive city lol
You should make borders for staters, then you have a boundry to work in. First put in a few normal buildings like inns and shops etc, then make a road system. Followed by trees, lakes and other stuff. Finally bang in the rest of the space with houses, and you should be done 8)

hehe are you jealous for zxmelee's nice tutos? ;D Just joking. :wink:
Nice tutorials, they did teach me something, but I knew almost everything they had to teach.
Scripting is what I would like to see ;)
Take your time and keep up the good work!
DITO and Dwarra keep on posting BlueXx why u so mean?
Yo, Shaka-speares! No spammin' here please!
I hate to bump this but I'm going to make a tutorial on making a mega city, intitled How To Make A Mega City Without Goin' Insane. Find that one in about two weeks.
That was a very handy set of video tutorials Zxmelee, they were the first thing I watched after getting my copy of RPG XP installed and helped me understand all the basic settings, concepts, and design rules. Thank you very much for this contribution to the RPG maker community, hopefully in the future you'll create a tutorial that shows how to set up interesting boss battles and make an ending to a game. All in all it was nice work that I appreciated.
Well, you gave me two more new ideas! Thank you very much for watching!
im not getting anything when i go to it.. it says invalid Id key or something like that when i try...
you`re funny!
and nice tut`s
any one think of uploading this to a torrent?
That isn't a bad idea, I will look into that.
euh when are you making a good game part 2?
Some time, it's Christmas! I get a break too.
Since when did smart people get breaks? You're supposed to help the rest of us from poking our eyes out on ceiling fans!
Oh, yeah. I'm downloading the Tutorials now, they seem pretty informative, and a vdieo's always better than reading, especially when you're lazy.
Yep, this is made for lazy people! I make one soon, keep your pants on!
Pants? Elaborate on these "pants" you speak of.
BTW, I finished watching these, or rather, I finished listening to them. I don't think the video is really necisarry, cause it's kinda hard to see. And the framerate is kinda bizarre and choppy. I think the audio was great, though!
But, I thought Making a Good Game Pt. 1 was pretty hilarious. I like the way you accentuate everything, makes me laugh. And that thing about cystals had me in stictches.
well if you do i would help seed my upload speed is not too bad and my cpu is allways on. i bet if you uploaded it to some of the big torent sites you would get a big response. there are some other rpg maker related stuff allready there. i saw a tile set pack a while back and some of the comments on it were about how they wished they knew how to work the program
What site should I go to?
hey, this tutorial was awesome... helped me alot for my opening scene, and flash back scene :D
7l-l353 R 73l-l 1337357 7u75 3\/3r!!!!!!!!!11one
these r teh 1337est tuts ever!!!!!!!!!11one
HAHA!!! No problem, buddies!
Dude i love your accent!
If you are a noob you learn much in these tutorials (I love wen you say: this is Zxmelee, and this is zxmelles video tutorials :P )
I hope you make a new one.
Pusssar p
For some reason I can't download any of those. Do you mind posting the tutorial with text and screenshots? I know it's probably a pain but I'm really interested in 'Building a good game' and 'Cutscenes' because I know the rest. Thanks! ;-)
Wait bro nevermind. It's because I was using AOL. *I'm not a noob so mods can delet both posts and lower my post count by two...I don't care) [www.rcttown.com/forum] Check out my post count! Only 5-11% is spam so I'd say I have 1800+ good posts.
AOL? :shock: Glad you changed back into good browers.
dude thsi videos PWN any other tutorial !! I bet my games will be as good as a SDquare Enix Game !!*in my dreams*
"Mom, I'm doin somethin!" :lol:
Nice videos indeed.
Hey superb tutorial ^^
Really helped me get to grips with this program, although i still mess up on alot of things, like the switches and making your main player do stuff.
And the movement messed up for me -.- (it just went down and up when it was ment to go down 3 times then left then down again)
Yeah, it takes practice! You'll get the hang of things pretty soon.
brill mate keep it up
"Zach"
"Yes mom"
"No, tell them to wait"
Haha
Good tutorials, learnt a few thigns I didn't know :^^:
Were the people at the door or on the phone? XD if you said it in the video, I dont remember. I watched that one sooo long ago =\
He said alot of funny things, I feel like watching them again to pick them all out :lol:
That one was when my girlfriend was on the phone and I told her to wait! :lol:
:O_o:
If I did that I'd get killed, still pretty funny lol
Proud to say that Zxmelee's Video Tutorials Watched by over 1200 People Worldwide!
when are you posting a new tutorial?
I thought, o great, once again, I won't learn anything... but, dang! You accent is the pwnage too... :lol:
dl'ing # 2
Hey my computer is saying that the file extensions aren't right... is there nething special i need to watch this?
Yes, you need Windows Media Updated and DivX
its still not working... i got told that these vids are REALLY awesome and i REALLY want to watch them... but i dnt understand wats goin on... how can i not watch it and every1 else can... PLZ HELP ME!!!
Quote from: Zxmelee...you need Windows Media Updated and DivX
Dude, what he said. ^^^
yes i know i downloaded all updates for windows media player 10 and i downloaded Divx player and some divx codecs... its still not working... can anyone link me to the stuff i need? im running on xp so it should be working... i jst dont understand...
What error are you getting?
Zxmelee,i just now watched the cutscene video,and near the end i started cracking up about 100 dollars for pie and such.buuuut.....great tutorials for newbs.
Also,your accent kick ass!
its saying that the extension isnt valid to microsoft but i can play other wmv video files and that it is a corrupt file...
Are you sure you are trying to open it with DivX? Whenever I click on one of his tutorials, DivX always pops up and it plays fine.
Download it again, becuase I checked it on two other computers and they work fine.
YAY!!! they wrk... AWESOME tutorials man... taught me a couple of things.... MORE!!!
lol, glad they worked!
like 3 months ago you sayd you would post more and there are now still no new 1s when are they coming?
Sorry dude, I have been busy.
This is too bad. I have dial-up. There is NO way i could dl some of those. The 100+mb one would take me like over 12 hours...ouch. I wish I could view them...*sob*.
Leave it on over night! :^^:
hmmm Idk I might try that, we will see =P. Parents might get mad though -_-
Quote from: Time_Froghmmm Idk I might try that, we will see =P. Parents might get mad though -_-

Nah it wouldn't blow up, there is no way. It wouldn't even overheat at that matter =P
Besides, no way my custom comp is blowing up!!!
EDIT: btw, the cutscen one is 45MB, not 90 =P
EDITEDIT: wow you have dl a lot of files from there lol =P

The tutorials are all blurry.Well at least the one I saw which was lesson 4
4 is, becuase its smaller. What the hell is wrong with you "They're all blurry, number 4 anyway." You are a dumbass. You talk bad about me, go make your own videos then.
only the last movie will download for me

What are you talking about? I only said number 4 was blurry.I wasn't flaming you or anything.
I just wish I had broadband to dl it faster...I bet they are very helpful =(
Even if they are blurry ;)
Edit: Damn it I am dl the cutscene one now. Oh yeah I am going for it! >=)
OMG There not burry!
I've never had a problem with Zx's tutorials, they've always been good quality and not blurry. However the frame rate is sort of low, but as he said before this prevents giagantic filesizes...but people get the idea. Even though the picture isn't moving like it should you can still hear the explainations.
Two thumbs up :D
i have an idea for making the file smaller
zip the video right then winrar it that should cut around i dont know 10 megs then see if u can zip the .rar file then .rar the ziped file i heard it works well if u do it till it wont go down anymore i know a guy who lowered a file size by 40 megs lol
yay! that was very helpful. And the one I saw was not blurry at all ;). One part I thought was funny..."You know you can add stuff like, heres a 100 dollars go buy a pie or something" XD Idk why but I thought that part was funny. It was very helpful, thanks a lot!
I really want to watch these but I can't download them... :? every time I try it keeps getting me to sign up for a paid account >_>. There's the free option too but that just takes you in circles and never actually lets you download the file... what do I dooo?
Pick any "Hosted Files Free Public Servers!". Its does not take you in circles, I have been using this server for downloads since November with 1,700 file downloads. Try again.
Holy crap warlock thats a lot of downloads! Yeah trust'em it works.
Don't say holy crap warlock.
lol
Nice dude :)
Btw know anyone that makes RPG2k3 Maker Video Tuts like theses :p Know few mates etc who could do with some help with that program, guess I could too XD as of work hardly use it much now :/ Blah
Hey I love the video tut's they are really usefull to explane how to do a lot of the basic stuff... I have actually learned quite a bit from watching only the first one so far 56k so its going to take a while to get them all, but you have earned your own folder called Zxmelee's tut's ;D. and if nothing else i got to test out my subwoofer. thats right I've got 5.1 on my coppy 8)
Hey, thanx for the tutorials they help loads ;D and i am also obsesed with the word PIE!!
thank you so much Zxmelee you have helped me understand rpg maker xp alot more so thanks alot :)
Glad to help!
Thanks for the vid tutorials they have really helped me. :D
Lol, I love the part your mom is calling you ;D
can you make part 2 now? ???
Part 2 would OWWWWWWWN! I loved these tuts...a month ago (when I had NO clue what I was doing) I used these.
Vey good. Probobly one of the best tutorials here. 'Cept for one thing, are you quitting on this? Lot's of people wanna see more man. Anyway, I'm just a noob. Here at least....
i nominating you for best Tuts award
He has't added another tut for over six months. So I'm assuming he's finished.
Assuming ;)
So, you aren't finshed? :-\
Zx: Assuming.
What's that supposed to mean?
Zx: ........... Asuming ;)
Ok, then.....
Zx: ASSUMING w00t!
:P
great tutorial, but woudlnt you prefer uploading it onto youtube?
it says, the server replies that you dont have permition to download this file.
details:
TTP/1.1 403 Acess Forbidden
Hello! I LOVE you're tuts.. But Tutorial number two doesn't have a link :S When i press it i get directed to www.filefront.com frontpage :(
Zxmelee!
Zxmelee!
Zxmelee!
Zxmelee!
Zxmelee!
ENCORE!
The link for basic databases is broken. It just redirects to filefronts main page is it's either been pasted wrong or removed from filefront :\
Wow this is cool. :D Its useful because I am like an utterly noobie when it comes to RPGMaker scripts, switches and technical stuff like that!
I should make a banner saying I <3 Zxmelee's Video Tutorials. .... But that might be way too long. xD
btw someone has them online. Dunno who, he's not taking credit for them which is good. YouTube! o.o
*SHOCKED* Are you sure its not him putting them on there? lol
Well erm Dunno. Zxmelee...? Did you put yer vids on YouTube? If so Why didn't you tell us here?
Why did I search on YouTube for your vids...? Because It made sense to me. Anything like this would be ganked. And quite prolly be taken for some one's own credit. D: Gotta be careful on it.
I didn't, some random guy did. I don't put them on youtube because I don't have the time right now, plus size too big.
um... ur database tut link keeps redirecting to the filefront main page, and i don't know why. i love ur tuts and i think it would really help if i could get that one. thanks.
Thanks for the sweet video tutorials man helped me out ALOT!
cheers
I really want to watch these videos, but I cant. I click the link and it just takes me to the filefront homepage. Anyone help me out here?
last two lessons both work. seems they didn;t expire due to many downloads.
The cutscene one did work for me, which is good because thats what I needed. I still have a problem though. I'm using Postilate Knight's(or something like that, I forget the actual name) enchanced version of Rpg Maker Xp, and I cant find the "Wait for movement completion" thing. Does anyone know what I should use, or tell me where that is?
It's called "Proceed with Movement"
Oh ok. I looked right over that. I thought it did something else. Thanks.
Hmmm... I can't seem to get the second tutorial to work... I'm still downloading the other ones - Can't wait!
lol helped alot :lol:
Wow, this is the kind of stuff a newbie like me would look for XD
Thanks, gonna nab the cutscenes tut and see what I can do from it ;)
If only it's not a video.
I wanna see them but I can't. O_O
wait...why isn't this stickied :o
Only two of them are still up :P Cutscenes and MAking a Good Game
Just a quick tip for future tutorials, please increase the text size in notepad or whatever A lot because in the videos the text is unreadable. It's a good thing you added sound to the tutorial or else nobody would have a clue what you are typing. Overall, very nice video tutorial and thanks for helping out the community. ~Ryu
Is there anyone who can upload the 2 videos thats not up no more.
the cutscene tutorial link doesn't work anymore. please re-upload.
This topic was created 4 years ago. I doubt the files are still around or if ZXM decided to archive those videos some place. Your best bet is to try to find it else where if you can't get the videos here. Sorrrry.
Whoever possesses those videos, please create a torrent of it or re-upload them!
I need this resource ASAP!
You don't need these at all. There are many other tutorials similar to this. They may or may not be in video form, but I have a strong feeling that zxm doesn't make games anymore and if he had these videos still, I would be very surprised that he saved them for so long for no useful reason.
