RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate is kind of an top part on RM2k(3). Using the technique of dll injection allows me to manipulate the RPG Maker from inside itself, without modifying any of its files. This way, I can change windows, add features, change behaviours, and so on.

It's a long way to a really useful piece of software - which is the goal of RM2k9U (= RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate) -, espicially in this case, where I have to create many tricky basic systems, where I can later build my "new features" onto.

I want to do things like:

- Adding a project creation wizard, which should choose the right RPG_RT.exe version for you and avoid all compatiblity problems between different patches, etc.
- Adding an auto-backup feature
- Adding things like playlists to the jukebox
- Adding support for resource file organisation in subfolders
- Putting together all tools I made up to now and implementing it in this one
- ...and much more.

I want to turn RPG Maker 2000/2003 into a professional and comfortable RPG development environment.

RPG Maker 2009 Ultimate supports language files, so it will be available in many languages! :)

I decided to let the community be part on my way of development - in an active way. I will frequently publish new versions, so you can always test the latest version.

See changelog.txt for a list of new features, in bugs.txt the known bugs are listed. To start testing, just start rpg2009.exe and try out everything!

RM2k9U will register at my server when you start it the first time. This is just for statistical reasons, I hope you understand that.

Please send feedback and bug reports to the forum thread where you get this download from, or to my mailbox cherry@cherrytree.at! Thank you very much for your help!
