Resource Links

[modern algebra]

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but just some that I've come across and been impressed by. If anyone has any they'd like to share, please post and I will add them.

Some of these links are from Mistrust's Resource Links topic.

Also note that some of these sites have terms of use and most require credit.
It is your responsibility to credit the makers of any resources you use under their terms.

[modern algebra]

Added Lorestrome

[modern algebra]

Added SD-Arius & Blogshin

[Soul_Crossblade]

You might also want to consider, The Shyguy Kingdom

[Grafikal]

That's not bad for ripping sprites to make character sheets and stuff. I'll add it to the list.

[xkillshock]

I was just wondering, is it even legal to use the soundtracks that the ffshrine website gives you? ^^;

[Grafikal]

credit the sources and don't sell your game.

[VXUser32]

I logged into this pinedavx site and showed me a link to this other

http://www.pinemaker.netai.net/

says the blog moved

[modern algebra]

Thanks for the headup. I changed the link.

[modern algebra]

Added Room Mate,  Middle Fingers, and Mikan no Danboru

[KaDourkey]

This is all really nice, thanks for putting this up. 

[modern algebra]

No problem. If you come across any, please post the links here and I will add them.

Also, updated the format with headings and alphabetical order. Also added Sakura Generator, Cacoa Soft, and Bubble Blog

[Mr. Bubble]

You'll want to update the link for Blogshin Tiles.  He's moved to here: http://blogshinvx.wordpress.com/

I don't know what happened. but I think rpgmakerbrasil got hacked since going to it now attempts to infect you with a bunch of trojans.

[modern algebra]

Thanks for the headsup. I updated the link.

[Roulent]

WOW!!! that awesome!!!
now I do not have to look on google again
thanks

[haru]

some really epic stuff there ! 

[Grafikal]

bump with a http://www.geocities.co.jp/Milano-Cat/3319/muz/002.html

sweet SV battlers. Made for 2k/2k3, but work perfectly fine with any SVB script.

[modern algebra]

Added Relay Point: http://relaypoint.web.fc2.com/material_flame.html

[RubyScorpian]

Nice, soon as i cant find any good generators on google ill use these.

[kyrios9]

Wow!! all you need to make your own RPG... nice... this helps a lot... thanks!!

[heisenman]

Relay Point died btw.
To bad, it was one of the best resource sites, if not the best.

[modern algebra]

Yeah, boo. I noted it in the first post; thanks for telling me.

Added Open Composer

[Weavile]

Could you add Project-RPG? http://lukas.fromserbia.net/

[Terra-chan]

I see that Project RPG has some of my templates, so I'll just ask you to add my VX Gallery.
Terra-chan's Resources
http://usera.imagecave.com/TerraVX/

[modern algebra]

@Weaville - Sure, but who are people to credit if they use resources from that site? As it seems that they aren't all by you, it would be a good thing to put information beside each resource as to who made it and who should be credited if used. I'd prefer for the site to have that info, but there is some good stuff there so once that's done I will definitely add it.

@Terra - sure thing!

[Weavile]

Modern Algebra, i have begun adding credits. Look at the gallery. What do you think of the progress?

[modern algebra]

It's a start. The animal facests you have that you say are by unknown are by Soruve though. Also, some of the tiles are by Mack. Keep up the good work and I'll add it soon.

[Terra-chan]

I've checked my TerraVX imagecave account and the last few days has made it exceed it's bandwidth! So I apologize to people who wanted to get things from there... I've been thinking on working on a bundle...

[hiromu656]

I haven't checked each and every one of the links, but I believe these weren't put up so I shall:

Char/Face Sets:
http://oldscratch666.blog58.fc2.com/page-2.html
http://towaemoa.blog70.fc2.com/page-8.html

Face Sets (Not updated much, but still useful)
http://blackscrap.com/

Yeah, they aren't in English.

[Toasty]

Some of the links are down, which is too bad, because I think it sounds like you've really found a goldmine here

[hiromu656]

Thought it'd be necessary to share this.

Found a site filled with Battlers for RTP battlescenes.
http://www.hcn.zaq.ne.jp/cagzd200/material.html

[modern algebra]

Thanks for sharing. I added it as Cradle of Cyanide

I also added towaemoa and blackscrap, but didn't add oldscratch since I think you have to be Japanese to use those resources. At least the top says: "Foreigners can not be used.Japanese only."

I also scanned the links and crossed out any that are offline currently. If anyone knows if the site just moved, please tell me and I can restore the link.

[_elvenheart]

http://zeroplumber.deviantart.com/gallery/   ==> ZPU's new gallery..

[modern algebra]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[Mushu]

I was using OpenComposer and the music seems too quiet compared to the other bgm's in the game and I've tried editing them in 'Audacity' but it wouldn't upload them right. Does anyone know what program I could use(to make the midi's louder)? Maybe the files from OpenComposer are outdated and can't be edited?

[Strak]

Umm... Maybe it's just me, but... is Cradle of Cyanide down?

EDIT: Looked around, found another link to it. Looks a little revamped. Just click on Material to get to the "original" link.

http://cyanyurikago.web.fc2.com/

[modern algebra]

Thanks.

[Footaay]

Hey you can add my site if you want. Adding stuff daily. Going to have lot of everything eventually.

http://rpgmaniacs.netii.net/EliteAccess/

[Zacksquest]

I don't think the Cradle of Cyanide link is up anymore.

I'm talking about Material too. : /

[modern algebra]

It works perfectly fine for me.

[Strak]

Me too. Try this link, if it's still not working.

[Zacksquest]

Nope. Google Chrome is not loading it. Neither is Explorer, but that was expected.

[modern algebra]

OK, well it definitely works for me, and Strak too apparently, so I am keeping the link up.

[Zacksquest]

Oh okay... darn it. All those beautiful battlers and I can't download a single one. 

[modern algebra]

Maybe the site's been blocked on your computer?

You could try to get them off a different computer if so.

[Zacksquest]

Maybe the site's been blocked on your computer?

You could try to get them off a different computer if so.

Yeah probably.

EDIT: Nope. On a different computer and it still doesn't work. I wonder if I can ask for a zip of all the battlers, but for some reason Cradle of Cyanide is not working for me.

[Wiimeiser]

Works for me, there's broken images and the site's different from the screenshot but it works.

[Strak]

Not sure if this one's already up, but they've got some really good RTP style facesets, and some character portraits. Didn't take a huge look around, but there may be more to it.

http://kimailanoori.blog.fc2.com/

EDIT: Possible nametag "Cage Chimera." That's what shows up on my screen, anyway.

EDIT: Be sure to carefully examine all the links on the right side of the page! There are tons of amazing websites filled with fantastic resources; some of which have yet to be discovered here!
Example: Some fantastic battlers here, and some phenomenal RTP faces. Nirvana Exhibition Institution

[Strak]

Oh okay... darn it. All those beautiful battlers and I can't download a single one. 

Yes you can.

I'll update this post with the rest at a later date.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

[modern algebra]

Thanks for the links!

[Dark_Metamorphosis]

As for the Japanese sites.. Im not that good at understanding the language, so Im afraid of using anything from there.. since you stated that some of them wants you to credit them if you use their work.

Im really interested in the kaduki charsets mostly, since those would be insane to use in a animated battles script.
Any suggestion how I should figure out if I need to credit them back? It states that Its my own responsibility, and I truly understand this.. but I guess best way is to not use it if I cant understand what is stated on the website right? 

[NightmareVisionsTEAM]

Here are a couple frequently updated resources from NightmareVisions (NV-US). All in which can be used commercially
