RM2K3 Maniacs Patch on RTP

Player

Hello, I’m new here so I hope this post is in the correct place.

I’m looking to put a demo of my game on a server. That’s done, I uploaded the game files and the went through putting the index.js and following the instructions found here.

My game is using the maniacs patch, so some of the folder structure is different. I need help getting this to work, I’ve tried multiple different things but perhaps someone can help give me some clarification on getting it working. Perhaps I missed something.

My RPG_RT.exe is in the same folder structure as the default RM2K3, with all my maps and sprites, etc…

Here is how I have it up:
www.mydomain.com/test/110011/player-js/games/Demo/gameData

I’m adding this /?game=ib but it doesn’t seem to work. Do I need to remove all my folders for audio, sprites, and what not and have them all in this same gameData folder?

Thanks in advance for any input.

There are two problems I can see:

  1. Your game data is one folder level too deep.

  2. To be picked up the game needs to be in games/default, you have it in Demo, so you need to append ?game=Demo.

Thank you for the reply. I tried adding the ?game=Demo, but it did not work.

  1. Will it still work with the demo folder, or should I remove the demo folder completely?

  2. Because I’m using Maniacs patch do I need to do anything special, like add something to the .ini file?

  3. Do I also need to have all the assets like, music, tilesets, charsets, etc.. extracted from their folders and have those files sit in the same folder as the RPG_RT.exe?

Maybe rename it to default, so you do not need the query parameter every time?

See this section in the manual page: easyrpg-player(6)
However, autodetecting (presence of accord.dll) should work as well…

No, the file structure needs to be the same as when running RPG_RT.

In the games/default folder needs to be the database file (RPG_RT.ldb) and one level of subdirectories (e.g. Picture, CharSet, …)
