Please don't post about 2k3 being better then XP or the other way around because that is your opinion and not the truth.

Which RPG Maker has side view battle? I tried XP and I hated the battle style.

VX did i think. But that was because of a CBS i think. I don't use the battle system XP has, I got Blizzard's ABS which let's me fight on the map!

I'll give it a try.

Cool

I dont mean to be the dissenter but VX had a front view battle style too on the default mode. Just with no battler pic option in the default game. 2k3 the only one to my knowledge with a side view system on default

VX is kind of harder to understand, i use XP even if im on vista.

I do too, not really for the understanding though personally. i find VX alot more user friendly in fact, and the dungeon generator is great. in the end though, i just decided against it. Combination of reasons. Firstly, i hated the fact there were no default battlers. the script to put them in made it a bit too complex and i wasn't looking for a hassle just to put in a character pic..

i found the graphics too cartoony but bearable. ut the tile selection per game is waaay too small. only what? 5-6 sets? compared to XP's unlimited? same thing with icons. I couldn't find that many resources either.

Despite the fact i liked drain spells were already pre-installed in the software, the fact they downsized the amount of stats from 6 to 4, (which thwarted my wanting to make weapons that increase 1 thing but decrease another.. since they both come from the same stat)
as well as some other little details, was enough to make me fed up. i went back to XP

DO you guys use the default battle system for XP? I use Blizzard's ABS.

I use default. Well, currently anyway. i havent played with my project in awhile, an ABS would be nice o_O where did you get it?

I still like RPG Maker 2000. It's my favorite to work with. I never really attempted to use RPG Maker XP.

2k3, how do you add characters onto the map? like NPCs?
Is it possible, or no.

just put it in on events

It's not that simple.
