9 years ago Thanks for the help. Yeah startup is a bit slower as it loads additional data and if running it under emulation probably makes that worse being the nature of emulation.
- About Encryption Program
I'm not sure how much re-encrypting will help, as the encrypted file would be over a gig (Data and Graphics folders) it's not really good for distribution especially if very little inside changes though having a tool to experiment with that should please some people. As the interface seems simple I assume it only uses the "Data" folder (based on the size the program generates) and doesn't include the "Graphics" folder. Let me know if this is wrong however the steps to use it would be:
- Prerequisite Have The Java Runtime Library 1 - Download "RPG Maker Encrypter.jar" to game directory 2 - Run "RPG Maker Encrypter.jar" 3 - Choose Encryption: RPG Maker VX 4 - It will then generate "Game.rgss2a" 5 - If there isn't a difference between an encrypted VX project and a VX Ace project renaming it to "Game.rgss3a" should be alright 6 - As things would be re-encrypted it should be safe to delete the "Data" folder
Adding the ability to handle VX Ace file extension and include the "Graphics" folder would be nice features.
Though speed is probably more effected by the Language File System (LFS) needing to load all data before play (all rvtext files get loaded on startup then integrated), there would definitely be a performance increase if that system could recompile the altered data back into the main project (though some design features of the LFS would be lost also I'm not the Developer of said system I just alter/debug it as needed). I might try to add that feature into LFS much later though that will require a broader understanding of how it works along with how RPG Maker handles some internal commands...
- About "Readme.txt" and "EX Readme.txt"
Good point I don't nearly keep "Readme.txt" as updated as "EX Readme.txt" and it looks like you took a good amount of time on it so thanks. Some of the font changes seem to use unicode instead of ascii (no problem in uincode but most PCs have ascii fonts) so I'll review your suggestions for "EX Readme.txt" later as I have an update in the works but well it's taking longer then anticipated ( also my apologies for the delay been a bit busy)

I've noticed that the overall smoothness of the game drops after applying the patch, especially during start up. On Linux it's alot more noticeable as the lag is exponetial. I don't know if rencrypting actually helps, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to have it as an additional step. Thus I've included a nifty encryption program written in java that I found, it encrypts to rgss2a, but it shouldnt matter as it can simply be renamed to rgss3a.
I've also taken the liberty of making the Readme less of a bitch to look at, that's pretty much why it says I changed so much.
