Yes, of course I know about that newer version. It's RPG Maker VX and this version have as I remember fifth layer, but then tilesets are again very small and there is a limitation for it. Both versions XP and VX have a ruby support.
Too bad that Bongo` don't want to show his map editor, because with my experience with RM map editors I would suggest some ideas to upgrade it. But it's his toys and I respect it =).
I could post you Bongo` map file from RM, but don't know if it'll help.
Bah! My editor only supports 2 Layers and a Sprite layer for a total of 3.
Not as advanced as RPGMaker.
I'm almost totally lost with all of this because it's not my bailiwick, so I am about to show my ignorance, big time, but I don't care if I do... First, I have heard of RPGMaker and have a general idea of what it's all about. I also recall that that a group called KanjiHack received a C&D order from Ascii a few years ago, pulled a hack from their web site, and folded shortly thereafter.
Anyway...
Does all of this mean that we could devise a shell with over-world, dungeons, castles, towns, and such that replicates the whole ambiance and culture of Dragon Warriors 2, 3, and 4, then create a separate DW saga, write the story, and insert it into a supporting structure that matches the series that many of us love, using a similar battle system, the same monsters, and all of the familiar DW trimmings?
If so, I would be interested in authoring an original story outside of the progression of the three DW/DQ trilogies, perhaps a follow-on Erdrick's quest in DW-I. I want to have the princess or her daughter kidnapped by the Dragon Lord's offspring or some such perfidy and lot's of Green Dragons, not just one!!
