My last push of Falcon-mkxp based games.

Includes the following:
Dream Quest - Knight and Princess https://rpgmaker.net/games/9861/
Painted Heart https://rpgmaker.net/games/6508/
Ruselan https://rpgmaker.net/games/6596/
Rxcovery https://rpgmaker.net/games/10241/
Tantibus https://rpgmaker.net/games/6839/

For all of them, just extract the folder + sh file, then add the corresponding data files from the links above to the gamedata folder of said game.

Thanks a lot for all new ports 🙂

oh geeze, thats a lot of stuff

vocal warren Thanks a lot for all new ports 🙂

No problem, actually preparing the ports is pretty easy (especially with the preliminary work done by Cebion), the time consuming part was primarily testing compatibility

Each game needs to be tested of course, do you have the oversight about each one for each device family? 😛

#

Normally we don't do multiple games in one thread else if one makes problems you can't fix em and have an overview

white monolith Jan 19, 2024, 10:07 AM

#

I've only done testing on my 353m/ark so far, have some other devices I could do some testing on, but I'm done for the day, been messing around with this for somewhere around 8 hours now lol

That's why we have these test threads so the ports get tested for general release

Thank you 🥲

fair cobalt Jan 19, 2024, 10:10 AM

#

So you need to keep track if the game work on all major cfws so amber, ark, jel and at least one of res each. 480x320, 640x480 and a high res device

#

So if you test on 353m ark, 640x480 and ark are done

white monolith Jan 19, 2024, 10:11 AM

But yeah, either way I felt too bad about creating endless Falcon-mkxp threads, limited this thread to games that are based on the same rpg maker version, so most issues that pop up in 1 should pop up in the others

fair cobalt Jan 19, 2024, 10:11 AM

best to keep track in your first post

Problems occur if we mash things together, each game is made differently and may have diffferent config files

white monolith Jan 19, 2024, 10:11 AM

Good idea, either way, that's tomorrow's me's problem

@white monolith Abandoned?

white monolith Sep 26, 2024, 4:42 PM

Yes

@ocean sparrow the rpgmaker website is donw

#

did you happen to snag these 5 games ?

#

also there tina of the stars, and last week if you have em maybe?

Mate, I know you mean well, but first this is a consumerism thread 😄

2nd it does not help writing in every single thread why someone did not finish somehting.

This game was abandonded over one year ago.
If you want to ressurect it, you download the port package, update it, upload it here, call testers and you finish it.

Posting in 20 threads does not bring any gmae faster to release.

It just fills the testing-n-dev threads with games that are not really in testing

#

I no longer see the up to date testing threads now because i now have 37 active threads in #1122885073507733625

#

stick to one, finish one and then continue

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

well cebion, i WOULD have just asked tab in the one he uploaded earlier, space olympics, but you get so irritated when we dont stay on topic. so i felt it be better to ask here. i figured thered be a good chance he maybe had these files on his computer still. they arent available on the links provided anymore since rpgmaker has been down for several months now. you seemed to comment quite a bit in this thread. do you happen to have these games buried somewere on your computer?

#

i'm sorry these abandoned ports are such a nuisance to you man. i try not to comment on them. but i enjoy goin through them and grabbing the files and adding them to my library, because more often then not they work. Great actually...

#

if you have those games from the first post, id love to try them, if not, ill leave this post alone forever.

#

also, if i could get the developers approval, maybe i spend the time and make these ready to run and take over.

#

but id need those games if you or someone happens to have them

I understand but these are our to-do lists that we try to complete and then close

#

You don't need approval from him if he abandoned it

#

The scripts need to be redone anyway

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 1:36 AM

I meant from the maker of the games

#

RPGmaker website is down like I said, so they'd have to be ready to run but if you have these games, along with tina of stars and dear Mariko, ill update the scripts, include the files and have 7 new ports ready to pr

awesome

not sure the donwload works though

can you grab the games from the archives they listed?
https://rmn.rmarchiv.de/
https://archive.org/details/rpgmaker-net-game-archive
also, i wouldn't be surprised if some of the games are on itch.io, gamejolt, etc.

#

found a few:

also, they mention "the system is down", but this might (?) be temporary

okay, well, you can find em all, anyhow 😄

So could i make these ready to run?

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

ionic field So could i make these ready to run?

not without creator permission, but of couse you can port them regardless

#

you can also check the licences -- some might allow distribution already

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

Also, what script do I need to use from the launch script page

#

Which template

#

Or game if that's easier

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

scripts are in the zip already -- these are all rpgmaker games, so same 'template' for all

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

Ceb said they need to be updated

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

i recommend you create a new testing thread for one of the games. then --

you'll get feedback on what to change
then you make those changes
then you p.r the finished port
now you know how to do the rest 🙂

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Hm. Okay. But is there a newer. Sh template I should be using

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

yes

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Ok where could I get it

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

but portmaster.games is down for me right now, so i can't view the documentation. look for the most recent rpgmaker port

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

Ok. I'll have to try to remember what that was

ocean sparrow Feb 4, 2025, 2:26 AM

#

i think "kaima" is the most recent rpgmaker port

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

Okay thank you, Tab

ionic field Feb 4, 2025, 8:27 AM

#

@ocean sparrow could any game from those archives be used with the kaima template?

#

cause i just did pokemon Dusk/Dawn/Beginnings/ and NIghtfall and none worked

#

or are they a whole different ball of wax?

you don't need to overhaul the template, just amend the .sh (as per the link cebion has provided)

#

basically, a bit of spot the difference and tweak to see if it works

so these changes are the only one si need to make in the script correct?

#

📎 Tantibus.sh

#

this look up to date and all good so as i can use it for the others?

#

also, how would i even reach out to the creators of these games for ready to run opermission?

ocean sparrow Feb 5, 2025, 5:08 AM

ionic field

does it run?

ocean sparrow Feb 5, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

ionic field this look up to date and all good so as i can use it for the others?

do one at a time -- once you get one though p.r, start on the second one

ocean sparrow Feb 5, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

ionic field also, how would i even reach out to the creators of these games for ready to run...

look for email addresses, twitter accounts, etc. and try reach out

#

if you cannot locate any contact details, you can try the itch.io comments, etc.

ionic field Feb 5, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

they all run but not with this new script

#

📎 log.txt

ocean sparrow Feb 5, 2025, 5:28 AM

#

work through the changes section-by-section to see where it breaks, etc.
sorry, i don't have time to look at this.

ionic field Feb 5, 2025, 5:30 AM

#

i ok

ocean sparrow Feb 5, 2025, 5:31 AM

#

i think this is the prob --
$pm_platform_helper "$GAMEDIR/gamedata/falcon_mkxp.bin"

#

(was missing a $)

#

chatgpt would totally have picked up that one 😉

ionic field Feb 5, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

thnaks again

#

im gonna build these myself

#

not ognna aks for any more help

ionic field Feb 5, 2025, 7:02 AM

#

okay ive got these all working with the new script

#

i have reached out to every creator through itch page or rpgmaker forum

#

ill wiat a few weeks to get ready to run permission hopefully

#

if not, ill just do the ones i do have

ionic field Feb 6, 2025, 10:54 AM
