The unlimited Academy is a type of school for RPG Maker XP. Members can enroll in this Academy to learn different areas of RPG Maker XP.

Members can enroll for Scripting, Spriting, Mapping, Eventing, Writing, and Music Composition. In these sections, members will be taught, tested, and then graded for work they have the done in these classes. Every member starts at Level 0, and will be given a unique test each time to go to the next Level. Each section will go to Level 5, which is mastery of that section.

There will be one-two teachers per section. Each of which come up with the teaching materials, and graded tests. There will be two forums for each section. One where only the students of the Academy can view. This is where most of the assignments and other various materials are posted. The other forum will be for the teachers. Here, they will keep track of members, grades, and to store templates and other various teaching materials.

The aim of this Academy is increase the amount of RPG Maker XP activity, and to give the members a chance to learn what they have always wanted to do, but did not know where to start. This Academy will give the members an opportunity to be able to accomplish high-standard pieces of work, and be recognized for their talents.

At the moment we are recruiting teachers for the Academy. We are looking for teachers of the following:
-Scripters
-Spriters
-Mappers
-Eventers
-Writers

In order for the academy to work, we will require one-two teachers for each, and as a prerequisite, you must be at Level 5, or a master of the section. The information on the positions is located on the applications page: http://rmxpunlimited.trap17.com/forums/ind...tocom=dstaffapp
If you are interested in becoming a teacher, please don't hesitate to apply.

If you have any questions, you can reply here, or send me a PM.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to working with some of you in the future.

[isaacsol]

[Marked]

Thanks for submitting applications. It will be a couple of weeks before anyone is accepted. If anyone has any questions about the academy, don't hesitate to ask.

How many teachers is possible to have about mapping?

Im pretty good with mapping, and if you want, I can send some exampels to you, if you want to take a look on them.

[Marked]

At the moment, only one person I know who will definitely be a teacher is Leon, and that is because I already know he is at Level 5, and he has told me he wants to be a teacher. I want as many people as possible to apply for a teaching position. Applications will not be accepted for a while yet. So, I would be great if you could submit an application.

[Black Shadow]

I'm interested to be a teacher for mapping. Do you want to see my mapping skill?

[Lizzie S]

Of course. Post a map that you have done. I would love to see one, personally.

[Black Shadow]

Ok, if you say so. Here we go. A map from Black Rose Ocean, my game.


Good enought? Don't care about the light things, i have fixed that.

[Marked]

We cannot give you an answer right now. Instead of posting your maps here, you can give us the links to two maps in an application. Try and get one that is outside also, and the bigger it is, the more we will have to go by. An application is more convenient for us, http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/inde...pping%20Teacher

[Lizzie S]

Black-Shadow, do things by the numbers like Marked said, but I will tell you this: That is a nice map.

[Grandor]

Indeed. The lighting and everything is good. The problem I have is your using the character I wanted to use! Is lancer03 your main character?!

[Black Shadow]

No. The girl is the mian Character.

[Grandor]

You've saved me a bit of trouble. I'm using the lancer as the main character for my game. Thanks.

The last three posts have been offtopic. Please follow the rules. This topic is for the Academy.

[Grandor]

I know, but I needed to get that across. Also, I would love to see a mapping academy, as that's where I'm weakest in.

[Marked]

All right. Well, Black Shadow and Adam have both shown interest in becoming Mapping Teachers. Although, only Adam has submitted an Application. With the amount of applications I have received so far, not all Academy's will be open. I will week another week, possibly 2 before I open the Academy. Applications for teachers will still be open, until we have all the teachers that we need.

Being that lancer is part of the rtp, should it really matter what the main character is?

I miss the days when i had authority...Ratty524, please stay on topic.

One more off topic post, and it will be deleted and the member warned. Rules are there for a reason.

[Black Shadow]

I get an error when Im trying to do an application. I really want to do this.( Edit: Works now. Fixed an application)

[Arkbennett]

I wanna be a teacher.

[Marked]

Yes, thanks for submitting an application. All applications are being considered as of yesterday. To accept applications, we are using a fair system. Meaning it is not just one persons opinion(Takes the pressure off me ). Although, I think some applications may be declined due to the fact they only submitted one piece of work, which doesn't give us much to judge on.

[Arkbennett]

Good thing I sent two then, eh?

[isaacsol]

Holy Snap, I cant remember if I sent two or not. Hope I did

Can you judge me on these 2 systems that i posted on this forum instead please.

Thanks.

[Marked]

Well actually, it already has. Four teachers have been accepted to run the Academy.
I would like to start right away, but I may have to wait a while before I do. Members will be receiving PMs abpit their applications within the next few days.

[Arkbennett]

Coolio.

[Noob Saibot]

Sent mine for the Writer. My sample work is located at one site (2 of them). In fact why not share my samples with other members: www.eminainformer.net/ghostrider_samplework.

[Marked]

For all the members who have applied for applications, even though some have been accepted, we are not going to start until the forum has moved. So please be patient while we get things sorted out. Thanks.

[Dark Dragon]

Ah, I've looked into the applications, and I have a stupid question to ask
what do you mean exactly by eventing ? I think I'm good at it, I can do some crazy things with it I guess
so if you mean managing events only, thats noobs work, but if you mean making totaly new systems with it B)
so yeh, please tell me more about this job

[Marked]

Well, all of that. It does come down to the teacher, but there should be a full course which involves learning how to use all of the commands, and making systems. A full course means that everything involving learning how to use events is taught.
