WOLF RPG Editor English is a game construction tool that can create complex role playing games. It is often regarded as being aimed at advanced users, so keep this in mind if you intend to use it.
Here are the Features of
WOLF RPG Editor English 2.24Z
Other Data Collection Included
To help everyone create a game, we have included the Other Data Collection!
We have Blank Data With Base System (Sample Game Engine),
so you can create a game with the existing game engine without the Sample Game elements.
We have Completely Blank Data, so you can create a game from a completely blank project.
We have the Graphic Synthesizer for your Character Graphics and Face Graphics creation. You can also use your own character parts with this software.
And as an added bonus, we also have Ver1 EnemyGraphic & MapChip for anyone interested in using original early versions of Enemy Graphics or Map Chips.
Large Databases
You have the User Database, the Variable Database, and the System Database to help you with the creation of your game. With the Databases, you can create characters, skills, magic, monsters, and more. But all of them have their max limits on items you can create.
Max Types: 100
Max Data: 10,000
Max Fields: 100
Use Common Events To Create Complex Games
With Common Events, and inputs from the Databases, you will be able to change the game to your liking, from Battles to Menu UIs. Common Events are the backbone of any game.
Every Common Event comes with a set of Arguments, all of which can be created and fine-tuned by you.
You have the ability to control all parts of the game.
Max Limit on Common Events: 10,000
Tileset Editor
With the Tileset Editor, you can import as many Map Chips as you want. You can set whether a Map Chip is Passable, Direction-Passable, has a Counter, or even give it a Tag Number. You can also set a combination of properties to each individual Map Chip.
You can also import up to 15 Auto-Tiles. When you use an Auto-Tile on a map, it draws the edges for you as you draw them onto the map. Auto-Tiles in WOLF RPG Editor English are used for coasts, tall grass, trees, walls, roofs, ceilings, and more! Just draw the shape of your section, and let WOLF RPG Editor English do the normally time consuming work of creating the edges.
Max Limit on Tilesets: 10,000
Three Map Layers
WOLF RPG Editor English uses three map layers to create and edit elaborate maps!
Event Creation
Townspeople, dungeons, treasure chests, boss battles - all of the things that help develop a game's story can be created through events. You will find a wide array of event commands stored under Command Insert Window, from simple text and graphic displays to variable-wrangling technical tricks. Just select a series of commands and you have created an event. You can even find clever ways of stringing together these commands for more sophisticated events - or sneak in a trap or two.
Auto-Create Map
WOLF RPG Editor English includes an automatic map creation function.
When you are tired of making maps or lacking inspiration for a dungeon, you can use it to automatically generate a random map.
Screen Dimensions And Tile Size
The previous WOLF RPG Editor English's max screen resolution was 800x600 pixels, with the Tile Size fixed on the selected resolution. But now the Screen Dimensions and Tile Size are separate from each other.
WOLF RPG Editor English's max screen resolution is now 1280x720 pixels (16:9). And the separate Tile Sizes are 16x16, 32x32, and 40x40.
Tile Size partly decides the size of the character Hitbox, but not the size of the Character Graphics.
Mouse And Game Controller Support
Tired of doing all actions via the keyboard?
You can also play your game with a mouse or game controller on computers.
*Xbox 360 Controller compatible. Partial controller support.
Share Your Games
The games you make with WOLF RPG Editor English can be freely distributed, submitted to contests, and sold.
It is completely free, so all its functions are available, including encryption functionality.
With the proper mastery, you can make any kind of game, not just RPGs.
System Requirements
The software is made for Windows only, with no native support for other platforms.
To run on Mac, you can try a general-purpose tool like WineBottler.
OS: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10~
CPU: 1 GHz CPU or better
RAM: 128 MB RAM or more
Graphics: DirectX 9.0, 11, or greater

So I was trying to download some common events from the Japanese website but when I import them on my English version of wolf RPG editor the characters on the event editor are unrecognisable and I can't really understand anything they're saying. How can I possibly fix that ? Like translate them or even make them Japanese characters that I can copy and paste on Google translate ?
Just run WRPGE with the Locale Emulator set for Japanese locale.
If you have the Locale Emulator already installed on your computer, right-click on the Editor 2.24Z.exe and make your selection of the Locale Emulator from the drop-down list.
If done correctly, you should be entering the WRPGE and seeing what you have imported in its original Japanese language.
I like using DeepL Translate for the text I deal with, I believe it gives a more accurate translation compared to Google. Deepl.com
I hope the information I have given helps you.
Good Luck, Take Care and God Bless.
I have few questions, can you please answer them.
1. Does this editor use Javascript or Ruby for extending Game Events ?
2. How powerful is this Editor compared to RMXP and RMMV
3. Is it still in Development or its abandoned project ?
4. Can it export to Windows, Linux and Mobile platforms ?
5. If mobile platform is not supported then can i play games via any Emulator like JOI Play Emulator ?
Please Answer Me.
I will answer your questions to the best of my ability.
1. Does this editor use Javascript or Ruby for extending Game Events?
The WRPGE mainly uses a user interface for the creation of the Common Events, Databases and Map Events. As you create and use commands, it will appear to look like code but not too hard to understand. WRPGE is pretty advanced, but presents a lot of freedom for customization and creation. Need knowledge on Javascript or Ruby? Not really, but having a little bit of coding knowledge wouldn't hurt(just not extreme).
2. How powerful is this Editor compared to RMXP and RMMV?
WRPGE is often regarded as being aimed at advanced users, so keep this in mind if you intend to use it. I would say that WRPGE is far more customizable than RMXP and RMMV, but to use WRPGE(even after reading the User Manual) is still a learning experience. So don't expect to make the Legend of Zelda engine in a day.
3. Is it still in Development or its abandoned project?
SilverSecond(the original only Japanese developer) has created and released different versions of the WRPGE in Japanese.
WRPGEv2.24 was the last Stable version of the old software for the longest time, which was why vgperson and I were able to translate it into the English version 2.24Z without any worry about updates(plus I kept in contact with the developer).
But as of June 17, 2023, the developer has released WRPGE version 3.202 in Japanese. Version 3.202 has yet to be translated into English, and I have retired from translating.
Version 3.202 comes in two flavors, Lite and Pro. The Lite version(as far as I know) is very similar to 2.24 in operation. The Pro version you have to pay for but you unlock features that are not available in 2.24, like setting the Height and Width of the Screen Dimensions independently from each other(especially if you want to use the 256x224 resolution of SNES games).
But like I said earlier, WRPGE version 3.202 is still only in its original Japanese.
4. Can it export to Windows, Linux and Mobile platforms?
WRPGE can only export to Windows. But you can play WRPGE games on Linux using software like WINE. And there are websites where you can upload a WRPGE game and play it on a smartphone, but I believe you need pay in order to do that.
5. If mobile platform is not supported then can I play games via any Emulator like JOI Play Emulator?
Like I said there are websites where you can upload a WRPGE game and play it on a smartphone, but I believe you need pay in order to do it. There are emulators out there that claim to play WRPGE games, but after a quick inspection(and looking at user reviews) I find them to be rather questionable. I think the safest and most stable way of playing a WRPGE game is on Windows, followed by Linux(if you use software like WINE).
That's all the information I can give you, I hope it helps.
Good Luck, Take Care and God Bless.
Does Anyone know how to center text? writing "<C>" at the begging and/or end of a sentence does nothing for me. And writing <c> just displays it as text.
If you are doing the Choice Window, putting <C> at the beginning does center the text.
But if you are using the Picture event command for strings, you probably want to set the Anchor to Center and then put <C> at the beginning of your text. That way you have everything centered and should fix whatever issues you are having.
And if are changing the centering of text in the Variable Database while running the Test Play, it will not update the changes automatically. You have to close your game and run it again to see the changes you have made.
I hope the information I have given helps you.
Good Luck, Take Care and God Bless.
What about when using the "show message" command?
For the Show Message command, the message text is automatically anchored to the Top-Left of the text. So you cannot simply put <C> to center the text in its default format.
To change how the text appears in the Show Message, you will have to edit whatever Common Event you are using for the message process(it is Common Event 063: X[Com]Message Window for the Sample Game Engine). Unless your Common Event has a Picture Show: Show String as Picture command for the showing of the message text, you will need to make adjustments. I cannot tell you exactly how it is done, but you need to use:
Set String: String Variable = System String 25: [Read Only] Message Text, in order to get the text from Show Message saved to a String Variable.
Picture Show: Show String as Picture with the Anchor set to Center. In the "String" entry area you can use <C> at the start and simply put in a text command to load in the String Variable you have saved the message text to(if you are using a Common Self Variable, the String can be saved to CSelf 5~9 and called using the \cself[??] command in areas that uses strings in the Common Event. e.g. \cself[5]).
That's all I can give, I hope the information helps you.
Good Luck, Take Care and God Bless.
Hey guys, I have a question. Do you think that Wolf RPG Editor English is safe or not? Because in the past, I tried to download it but whenever I do that, it gives me a warning that this file is harmful or something in the lines. So, I ask this again, is it safe or not? Thank you in response.
Nowadays, every .zip and .exe files downloaded from internet is treated as harmful by your browser or windows. It should be safe unless you DL from suspicious source.
It got 2 malicious viruses. What next?
Because the WOLF RPG Editor is Japanese software, your antivirus is probably falsely detecting it as a virus/trojan based on its origin footprint. That's all.
If it did indeed had any viruses with it, I would not have bothered doing an English translation for the WRPGE.
I wouldn't want any problems I encounter to be someone else's problems, it's just not good ethics.
I hope the information I have given helps you.
Good Luck, Take Care and God Bless.
You mean one from a ****** antivirus that even detect Intel's software as malware?
Community.intel.com
And the other is just generic term for "probably something you don't want", which in this you-dont-own-anything era, mean anything not officially endorsed by microshit?
So, is this website safe to download, including in Windderune's website?
I think so, at least I got mine from moddb. Never checked Windderune's website before, but if it got endorsed here probably fine.
