So I’ve been working on a couple of RMVX maps. These are pretty basic, but after Ocean’s advice to go with a more “old-school” style of map when using the RMVX RTP, I came up with a simple forest and a cabin interior. Here they are so far.

Here’s my overall forest.

Not the most spectacular, but I wasn’t going for a highly detailed map at this point. Next are a couple of shots of the cabin interior.

And next is the cabin in play with the image events I set up displayed.

By the way, if you don’t know how to set up image events, for example a flickering fire in the fireplace, food on the table or a glowing lantern, here are the basic steps.

1-Switch to the events mode

2-Right-click on the square where you want the event to go

3-Select “New Event”

4-Double-click on the “graphic” box on the left-hand side of the menu

5-Scroll down to where it says “Other1″ (or Other2 or Other3).

6-Choose the frame of the image you want the animation to start with by clicking on it.

7-Make sure that the “Options” menu below the graphic menu has the check box set to “Stepping Animation.”

8-Hit okay, save your game and then playtest it. You should see whatever animation you set up playing. That’s it!
