History:

Spoiler

Simulation RPG Maker 95 was released a year after RPG Maker 95 and allowed the user to create tactics based RPG's similar to the Fire Emblem series. While Sim RPG Maker 95 retained the user friendly layout and design of RPG Maker 95 it required a basic understanding of the program to properly use. While very powerful in its day it was overlooked by the maker community due to its lack of a help file, resources, proper support and information. However unlike other maker programs that faded away shortly after being released members of the maker community kept Sim RPG Maker 95 going. Updated translations were released and member submitted resources and tutorials kept the maker alive. However despite their best efforts, Sim RPG Maker 95 faded away due to the problems it had before. The last good translation released was by Code Mason and Holbert, they included a user created help file and links to various Sim RPG Maker 95 sites. However their translation did not work on Windows XP causing it to become obsolete. At the same time another translation done by PhoenixX_2 was making the rounds, the only good thing about his translation was that it worked on XP. For the most part if was poorly translated and contained font problems present when using a Japanese program on a non-Japanese operating system. It also didn't contain the original RTP, instead it contained some makeshift RTP the borrowed resources from a few of the sample games "Kikimaru's Adventures" and "Protalie". Another translation done by DrazardX using PhoenixX_2 translation appeared, besides making very minor changes and changing the version number to some obscure number DrazardX translation was total ripoff of PhoenixX_2's translation. The translation done by Elemental Crisis is the best known translation available to the English speaking RM Community, you can download it from our Download Database.

Hey, when I click on help->Helpfile, it says 'Windows cannot find SRPG95.chm'
Please help ):

[Elemental Crisis]

Hello,

The problem comes from the SRPG95.bat file in the \Help folder, I made a mistake on the file path. I wont be able to update the installer until either late tonight or sometime tomorrow.

However, its an extremely easy fix, anyone should be able to fix it.

1.Create a new text document in notepad and copy/paste the following into it. Save the file as SRPG95.bat and overwrite the current SRPG95.bat in the \Help folder. When saving make sure "Save as type:" is set to "All Files" to properly save the .bat file.

Spoiler

start /d"C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Simulation RPG Maker 95 VALUE!\Help" /max SRPG95.CHM
exit

//start /max SRPG95.CHM
//exit

//OUTDATED INFO

//Changing File Location

For those who decide not to install Sim RPG Maker 95 into the default install directory. Your going to need to modify this file so the batch file will work correctly. Before you do anything its critical you back this file up just in case you mess soemthing up. 

Change the following line.

"C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Simulation RPG Maker 95 VALUE!\Help" 

To the location where you installed Sim RPG Maker 95. So if I had installed it into my "Games" subfolder on my "X" drive it would look like.

"X:\Games\Simulation RPG Maker 95 VALUE!\Help". 

//Windows 64bit Users 

Since there's no longer a folder just called "Program Files" change the following line.

"C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Simulation RPG Maker 95 VALUE!\Help" 

To.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterbrain\Simulation RPG Maker 95 VALUE!\Help" 

Super easy..

2. Download the updated SRPG95.bat from the link below. It contains the code posted in the 1st option.
 SRPG95Bat.zip (575bytes)
Number of downloads: 3

If you didn't install Simulation RPG Maker 95 in the default folder or run a 64bit version of windows you will need to edit SRPG95.bat. Right-click on it and either click edit or open and follow the instructions.

Hi,

I joined this forum for two reasons.

First, I wanted to sincerely thank you for this in particular, as I've been hoping for a decent version of SRPG95 for a LONG time.

Secondly, I wanted to ask whether it's feasible that anyone will be able to patch the program to accept a better color range. It's very difficult to work with custom artwork under the limitations of the current system. How difficult would that be, is it possible?

Again, thanks very much for all the work you put into making this possible!

[Elemental Crisis]

Hello,

Glad my translation is helpful for you. I remember when I first used SRPG95 I was put off by the crappy translation.

As for your question, I don't believe its possible, at least by me. I can ask around but I think its a built in limitation. Though with the VALUE! version you think they were of updated that.

[Yosh]

Okay, well, after some fiddling, I'm learning that the limitation is really not the end of the world. (:

The update isn't showing the colors of the facesets and other graphics currectly that I add no matter what I do. Even if I save the file as a bmp with 256 colors it still won't show the colors currectly. I posted this problem in the additional makers forum.
