Creating and Installing a Custom RTP v2.0
Step #1:Before creating custom resources you need a place to put them.
Please use the following destination to store files for your custom RTP:
"My Computer" > "C:\" > "Program Files" > "Common Files" > "Enterbrain" > "RGSS"Within the RGSS directory, please create a new folder.
You may name it whatever you like, but note that the name you choose will serve as the name of your RTP.

Step #2:Within the folder that you've just created, you will need to create two more.
The first one will be used to store your audio files. The second folder will store your graphics.
Within those folders, you will need to create a folder for each type of resource.
Within the "Audio" folder, you will be required to create the following four folders.
Withing your "Graphics" folder, you will be required to create the following fourteen sub-folders.
- Animations
- Autotiles
- Battlebacks
- Battlers
- Characters
- Fogs
- Gameovers
- Icons
- Panoramas
- Pictures
- Tilesets
- Titles
- Transitions
- Windowskins

Step #3:Use these folders that you've just created in order to store your files.
Now that you have your RTP where it needs to be, it is time to install it.
Open your start menu ...
Open your CPU's "RUN" application ...
Type regedit.exe into the entry bar and press enter. This will open your computer's registry editor.
On the left side within your registry editor you will notice your system's registry directories.
Extend your way through the following directories:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > "SOFTWARE" > "ENTERBRAIN" > "RGSS" > "RTP"You will notice that we've located the roots of the "Standard" RTP.
It's time to install our very own RTP. So, go ahead and right click please.
From the drop down menu; select new > String Value.
You will be prompted to name your new string value. For common sense purposes, please name it accordingly.
Alright, so now that the string value exists, you need to assign it a directory to get its data from.
Right click on your new string value and select "Modify" from its drop down list.
You guessed ...
Use the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS\"Your RTP's Name"
Screenshot:Voila!! You've just created and installed your very own RTP. Good job.
Now, all that's left is to select it within your project. So, go ahead and run the RMXP editor and open your project.
Highlight the game tab in the editor's toolbar, and click "Select RTP." Finish by adding the new RTP you've just created.
