For anyone on the ‘net looking for Tactical RPG Editor 2 info, I’ve got some for you. I got it to work on Windows 7. First I installed it, right-clicked on the desktop shortcut and went to Properties, then to Shortcuts, then clicked on the Advanced tab, then checked the box for “Run as Administrator”. This makes it always run with admin permissions. Then I right-clicked on Tactical RPG Editor 2 again and said “Troubleshoot Compatibility.” Windows 7 determines that the game maker should be run in Windows XP (Service Pack 2) mode, so agree to do that and try to run it. I got an error that said “comdlg32.ocx” missing. So, I hunted down this file and downloaded it. Put it in your SysWOW64 folder. Then, go to Accessories, Command Prompt (right click to run as administrator for an “elevated command prompt”), and type in “regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx” (no quotes) to “register” this file in your registry. Then try the editor again. You might get an error like this: ActiveX component cannot create object: 429. This is a visual basic error that means you are probably missing some ocx file. I found out from RPG Crisis.net’s forums that Megaman8x, the translator for TRPG Editor, suggests the file “mscomctl.ocx”. So I installed that, put it in SysWOW64, and registered it the same way as before (regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomctl.ocx) Then I tried the editor again. It still gives a boot error, but it opens the editor! Still one problem, it is not fully functional, and says it is missing “mscomct2.ocx.” So, download that, put it in SysWOW64, and register it like you did the others. Now the editor should work (I always “troubleshoot compatibility” to run it).

If that doesn’t work, I did also download a bunch of other registry ocx files to see if they worked, but none of them seemed to have worked, but I can’t be sure. E-mail me if you need help, or if you want one of the files, or if you want the editor: pomerangolarst AT gmail DOT com

Huahahaha now I can make my tactics games!

…after finals. ;__;
