I hope I posted in the right section.

Hi EC, I tried making a new file in Character Maker. I encountered a problem where if I choose the setting:
RPG Maker 2003 - Charset, 16 Color Mode

The palette editor won't appear. This was after installing and having it on launch.

But after closing and reopening the program, it shows the palette editor now.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. I just thought I'd let you know :3

Interesting, just tried myself and the palette appeared like normal. Does it do this every time you create a new image using those settings? I did notice that if you close the palette and then create a new image, the palette doesn't reappear but that's because it's still the same session.

It's possible that it's been set to hide. Try either clicking Display (V) then Color Palette (C ) or for Ctrl+3.

It only happened once after I installed it. Afterwards it works normally. It's probably a one time thing? I wasn't really sure what happened. I'm also not in aero mode if it makes a difference?

I also found some untranslated strings,

Bucket Tool -> check the drop down box with DR Col -> Japanese Text.
All Circle/Rectangle Shape Tool -> drop down boxes have JP text and whatever those 1 1 means XD
Line tool -> Japanese text everywhere and in drop down boxes.
Selection Tool -> everything is Japanese.


This happened when I click on the color palette and any of those options.

How do we exactly use the Rotate Tool (or the other option tools)? I tried every tool that allows it but I really see no difference?

I checked the display options and made sure all of them are checked (except ruler) but hmm. Thank you.
Er oops sorry, my internet exploded.

Funny thing, I had already translated these but forgot I had accidentally overwritten Character Maker Pro.exe with an older version losing these changes. Thanks for finding those, keep up the good work.

Pretty sure I got this, but you're talking about this right?

Where are these located?

Also, feel free to suggest word replacement or suggestions if you think or find out something can be labeled more accurately.

[Archeia]

If you click pen tool for example then click Edit -> Edit Tools you should see different options per tool over there.  Like some aren't affected while some are.

[Elemental Crisis]

I'm pretty sure those options are mainly used with "Select Range" tool.

[Archeia]

Hello sorry for the weird question, but is the program updated?

[Elemental Crisis]

Not yet, I need to do a final look through then finalize the tooltips. I'll probably start on this sometime next week.

[Archeia]

Sorry for bugging again~ Is it updated?

[Elemental Crisis]

Sorry, been pretty busy with work and finals these past two weeks, I'll try and get it out before I leave on the 12th. I have done quite a bit of work on it and like I said last time I just need to finish finalizing some strings.
