-----[Distributing Your Game W/O The RTP]-----

I have heard many people complaining about the RTP requirement. So, I decided to sit down and explain how the error occurs and how you can work around this horrible restriction to where your work will look more original and look more impressive to your peers.

The ROOT of the problem
------------------------------------
The MAIN problem to the RTP error on other computers is the absense of a REGISTERY entry. This entry in your computer's REGISTERY points to a location of the RTP. You can get around this problem by,
1) Using the REG file that comes with this document
2) Continue reading this document
*NOTE*(Just double click on the REG file and say okay.)

------------------------------------
Working around the problem
------------------------------------
If you want to get around this problem, just enter a REG entry in the following location in a install program that you create.

The KEY:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ASCII\RPG2000\

The String Value:
RuntimePackagePath

The Value to the RuntimePackagePath:
C:\Program Files\ASCII\RPG2000\RTP\

The value to the path can actually be whatever location you want, the only impact it would have on you is directing RPG Maker 2000 to a location to find the RTP files. (The RTP is completly obsolete now)

------------------------------------
Things to look for
------------------------------------
Just look out for messing up the REG string, if any problems occur just use the KEY I included with this document. The only other thing you need to watch out for is including all the necessary RTP files into your game's directory NOT the RTP directory.

------------------------------------
3rd party utilties
------------------------------------
Install Maker or Install Maker PRO is a very usefull and fast tool for making install programs for any kind of software, I strongly reccomend this software if you want to input this REG entry to get around the RTP problem. You can get this software at http://www.clickteam.com

I hope you find this document beneficial to your knowledge.
