Pandora's Box
IntroductionThis is an extremely large collection of resources for RPG Maker.
I did not create, nor compile this collection, that credit goes to Guyver IV, the creator of the video. I have seen the link posted about the forum in various places, but have not seen a dedicated topic to it, so here we are. The original collection was posted on YouTube video, which can be found
here. There collection consists of basically every resource found around the RM community in one package, so it is a nice one-stop-shop.

Download LinksThe first download links are ones I created myself. Here are the changes I made:
- All JPEG, GIF, and bitmap files have been converted to PNG
- I ran every PNG file (a few hundred thousand...) through PngOptimizer which reduces the file size. This is a great little program that removes usless information from PNG files and can shrink them without any quality loss.
- I converted all MP3 and WAV files to OGG, which is a much more efficient format for games. The audio quality has been unchanged, just the format changed. MIDI files have been left alone
- I used WinUHA for audio compression, because it gets a higher compression level than for media formats, even better than 7zip under "Ultra" settings and a large dictionary/word size
- Aside from these changes, everything has been left untouched, but the overall size of the download is more than a 1 GB less
- The download is a self-extracting archive, so no program will be required for decompression. Simply click and extract to where you want.
Torrent DownloadI have also created a torrent download for the file, since it is a much more suited protocol for large downloads. The more people that download and seed, the faster the download will go. If you need a torrent client, I highly recommend
utorrent, which is completely free and in my opinion the best.
Torrent DownloadOriginal Links from YouTubeThe following are the original links on the YouTube page. All downloads are through 4shared. The files are in .7z format and split into 7 files. You will need to download
7-zip, WinRAR, or similar file archiver to combine and decompress the archives. 7zip is free to everyone, and there is absolutely no cost. You will also need to register an account with 4shared to download from these links, which is also free, albeit annoying.
