Demo

Script

Just make a new script above main and paste this code into it.
Script Download

Instructions

This script is totally Plug 'n' Play: Copy paste the code in a new script slot OVER ALL the other scripts you have, run your game and after the window closes, remove the script again. Voila! It's done!
More specific instruction inside the script in the first comment!

Compatibility

Compatible with anything, even the SDK 2.x (because it gets overriden). Will not search for script required resources.

Author's Notes

If you use a system where you have more than one start location for the game (i.e. a separated mode with a different storyline) and want to turn DEEP_TESTING on during the testing, then just put in the starting map a dummy event with teleport commands to the starting maps of the other game modes.

If you are using DEEP_TESTING, be careful, since teleport commands that use a variable to determine the new map ID can't be tested. Do as you would with with different game modes: Create dummy events.

Auto-start and parallel process common events will be automatically logged from the beginning.
   
The best moment to use this script is just before you are going to compile and encrypt the game data. If you want to use it for resource cleaning, turn off DEEP_TESTING.

If you find any bugs, please report them here:

That's it! N-Joy! =D

This is a very nice utility.

this script saved my demo 40 mb :P

I tried making a pre-loader by modding this script, caching ALL the graphics before starting the game, Gamemaker style. Just for fun. I failed, but barely, maybe I'll try some other time.
Do you like ambient/electronic music? Then you should promote a talented artist! Help out here. (I'm serious. Just listen to his work at least!)

Actually it would be very easy. At the end you should have a list of all resources. Simply use that array of strings to cache them.

That's what I tried, but I was half asleep then. Problem was with seperating the Audio folders. Is it even a good idea?

You don't have to cache audio, so why separate them? Everything besides ogg files is cached automatically. ogg are always loaded upon playing, you can't change that.

No, I mean to use RPG::Cache.load_bitmap(file) in the iterator, so that's not appropriate. Am I missing something?

There no other way to do it anyway. >_>

Of course, oh well. Hey, can you do use the fileutils.rb and move the RTP files into the project folder?

This isn't much, but I still say it's an awesome script. Anything that can help reduce the overall file size of your project is amazing!!

Holyrapid

I AM EXTREMELY SORRY TO NECROPOST LIKE THIS!
But a friend/fellow member at another forum, RPG Maker Finland, wanted to use this with VX, but it was incompatible, so he asked me to ask some one here to make a VX version for this.
So, could someone do it? It would probably help many VX users...

Blizzard

It shouldn't be complicated. If somebody wants to do it, go ahead. That person would mostly only need to change the data structures that are checked and a few of the variables that are checked.

You are the best after all Blizzard.. XD
(Are you going to beat XAS? MogHunter is better in ABS.)
I was working on the game called The Orion.
It would be nice if you can join our small community by sharing a little by little scripts/ideas at The Orion Forum
