- RPG Maker 2003 Update v1.12 - 14 September 2017
Hi everyone! We have a new update for RPG Maker 2003 and it is huge! The Changelog is over here. Added Editor - It is now possible to resize and maximize some of the dialog windows (database, event editor and a few miscellaneous ones). Due to technical limitations, the layout is not always perfect when a window has been enlarged. Engine - The “This Event” target may now also be used in common events and will refer to the last map event in the call stack. (For example: Map event A calls map event B, which calls common event C, which calls common event D, which moves “This Event”. Result: Map event B will be moved.) The “Erase Event” command behaves the same way, erasing the last map event in the call stack. - Large picture functionality revamp. The helpfile is updated to reflect this. * Variables can now be used instead of fixed values for picture ID, filename suffix, transparency and zo…
