About

RPG Maker (RPG Tsukūru in Japan) is a long-running series of game-development tools, originally created by the Japanese group ASCII, for building role-playing and adventure games; the XP, VX, and VX Ace versions use the RGSS/RGSS2/RGSS3 Ruby-based scripting runtime this project targets. Tapir is a re-implementation of the RGSS/RGSS2/RGSS3 runtimes used by RPG Maker XP, VX, and VX Ace, letting games built with those tools run on Linux instead of Windows. It requires the Runtime Package (RTP) files, installable either via Windows/Wine or via bundled install scripts, and supports forcing a specific RGSS version or launching in test/battle-test mode from the command line.

Getting started

After building from source and installing the RTP files (either copied from a Windows/Wine install or placed via the included install scripts), games are run by pointing Tapir at the game's directory with the -d option; a config file controls key bindings per RGSS version.

Requires original assets. Tapir is a runtime for RPG Maker XP/VX/VX Ace games; requires the original game files and RTPs to run.
