Hi there. Six months ago while figuring out how to change window skins for the first time, I accidentally deleted the default Window skin in the RTP folder. (Yeah, I learned I should import new window skins since then)

Now realising I deleted the default, I asked a friend who told me I should "uninstall and reinstall the RTP". He also told me not to uninstall the programme itself, just the RTP. I'm using Windows XP so when I went to the Control Panel, I don't exactly see the line RTP, but do find something called "RGSS-RTP Standard".

Is this what I'm supposed to remove? I would appreciate any help a kind soul can give me!

yes - or you can simply reinstall the RTP by starting the setup for the RTP (that can be downloaded top right on this site)

Thanks for the reply, Andar! I got Ace through Steam, and when I downloaded the RTP from the site, it's asking if I want to install through:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS3\RPGVXAce

Should I agree, or choose the RPGVXAce folder in Steam instead?

if you got ace through steam, simply remove and reinstall the program.

If you have a lot of DLC or Workshop content, it will probably need a few hours for synchronisation before Ace could be started again, but you won't loose anything in the process.

Otherwise, install the regular RTP to the path given, then search there for the missing or changed files and copy them from there to the correct path before deinstalling the RTP again.

Final Update for the Fem Sprites!! Installing and Reinstalling RTP (24)
The second one is kind of weird and I will touch it up, but I think, for the starting pack, 4 down/sleeping poses are great!

Very disappointed that there are no plans to localize Look Back in the US.
One of those times where it's like "Are you allergic to free money because I will pay a stupid amount to see this".

If anyone knows how to watch it, let me know.

Doing a lot of play testing a bug hunting so I can make an updated demo video of the current functionality of my Sudoku game. Now it is down to small, unexpected things. At least when I encounter a bug, it has been relatively easy to track down the cause and fix it. And the reorganization has made fixes easier without Frankensteining anything.

My playtester rage quit the regenerating slime battle. I was like: "Really? What a pampered generation." But then I played it myself again and almost started raging too. Managed to beat it, but yeah, I'll turn down the difficulty a bit. But just a little!
