easyrpg-player [<optional flags>...]

EasyRPG Player is an open source interpreter for RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 games. It aims to support all features of unmodified games and also has some support for some additional binary patches.

--battle-test MONSTERPARTY

Starts a battle test with the specified monster party.

--disable-audio

Disable audio (in case you prefer your own music).

--disable-rtp

Disable support for the Runtime Package (RTP). Will lead to checkerboard graphics and silent music/sound effects in games depending on the RTP.

--encoding ENCODING

Instead of auto detecting the encoding or using the one in RPG_RT.ini, the specified encoding is used. Use "auto" for automatic detection.

--engine ENGINE

Disable auto detection of the simulated engine. Possible options:

• rpg2k - RPG Maker 2000 engine (v1.00 - v1.10)
• rpg2kv150 - RPG Maker 2000 engine (v1.50 - v1.51)
• rpg2ke - RPG Maker 2000 (English release) engine (v1.61)
• rpg2k3 - RPG Maker 2003 engine (v1.00 - v1.04)
• rpg2k3v105 - RPG Maker 2003 engine (v1.05 - v1.09a)
• rpg2k3e - RPG Maker 2003 (English release) engine

--fullscreen

Start in fullscreen mode.

--show-fps

Enable frames per second counter.

--fps-render-window

Render the frames per second counter in both full screen and windowed mode.

--fps-limit

Set a custom frames per second limit. If unspecified, the default is 60 fps. Set to 0 to disable the frame limiter. This option may not be supported on all platforms.

--no-vsync

Disable vsync and use fps-limit. Vsync may or may not be supported on all platforms. Check the engine log to verify whether or not vsync actually is being used.

--enable-mouse

Use mouse click for decision and scroll wheel for lists.

--enable-touch

Use one/two finger tap for decision/cancel.

--hide-title

Hide the title background image and center the command menu.

--load-game-id ID

Skip the title scene and load SaveID.lsd (ID is padded to two digits).

--new-game

Skip the title scene and start a new game directly.

--project-path PATH

Instead of using the working directory the game in PATH is used.

--rtp-path PATH

Adds PATH to the RTP directory list and use this one with highest precedence.

--record-input PATH

Records all button input to a log file at PATH.

--replay-input PATH

Replays button input from a log file at PATH, as generated by --record-input. If the RNG seed (--seed) and the state of the save file directory is also the same as it was when the log was recorded, this should reproduce an identical run to the one recorded.

--save-path PATH

Instead of storing save files in the game directory they are stored in PATH. The directory must exist.
Note

When using the game browser all games will share the same save directory!

--seed SEED

Seeds the random number generator.

--autobattle-algo ALGO

• dynrpg - DynRPG patch by Cherry
• maniac - Maniac Patch by BingShan

Full path to a directory containing an extracted RPG Maker 2003 RTP.

RPG_RTP_PATH

Full path to a directory containing a combined RTP.
Note

All *_RTP_PATH variables support directory lists, using colon (:) or semicolon (;) as separator. Useful when you have multiple translated RTP versions or directories with extra files. The --rtp-path command line option supports directory lists as well.

RPG_RT.ini

The game configuration file. It follows a simple Key=Value syntax in multiple sections. Specific options can be set in the [EasyRPG] section. For example:

[EasyRPG]
Encoding=1252

This will set the correct encoding for most english games.
