Please don't direct link to Dropbox files

Reasons? Basically, if I release a new version, your link becomes out of date and it's annoying to get share requests for files which no longer exist. Couple that with the fact that the update checker rather means that anyone downloading a direct link would have to come to this page and get the new version anyway... and yeah, direct links aren't so good.

So if you want to share stuff RPGMaker Trans, great, but link to this page please.

RPGMaker Trans v2.05 Released

A minor release. Changes:
  • Fixed a crash with opening a zip file where the patch was not included in a subdirectory
  • Crash reporter now has a button which copies the traceback to clipboard and opens up the bug reports page
Why the slow progress? Well, I've actually been looking around at RPGMaker Trans usage, and every time I see people redistributing prepatched stuff, sometimes in direct contravention of the original authors wishes, I lose motivation for this project. I'm aware that in making a tool such as this I can't really stop it from happening, but it's still frustrating.
