: You from the old 1.4 days? I saw you mentioned RPGCode2, : so I thought you might be another oldie (such as myself) : that's around..<g> : Here's my useless comments on this stuff... : : Hey Chris, do you think you can input this stuff into : : the RPG Toolkit? I think this stuff could greatly : : improve the RPG Toolkit. : : -Jumping between layers. : You can move between layers using stairs, you know.. For instant : jumping, just use #PutPlayer to put him on a different layer.. : : -*Magic Element Definition. : : -*Magic Element Absorpstion. : Heh, too bad I have no idea what this means.. Probably some : strange console game magic stuff.. (That was a direct blow to : you, Spyder, in case you were wondering..<G> j/k..) : : -Zelda64-like Night / Day Cycling option in game starter. : Night day cycling would be nice.. If Chris would implement : my suggestions (being able to load board info and tile info into : arrays where you could access different bits of information from them) : you could just write a program to change the ambience of the board.. : But alas, he has not done this yet.. : : -More Tile attribute options. : Like what? : : -Vehicals editor. : Well, you can implement vehicles with Rpgcode (I have a rather : large ship that can be controlled pretty well in my game that I am : procrastinating on, as usual).. And, technically, you could write a : vehicle editor with RPGCode too.. You could edit your vehicles, where they : go and such, then the program spits out RPGCode for you to use, which you Copy : and Paste into the editor.. Granted, this would be a hard thing to do using : RPGCode, but maybe a stand-alone program could accomplish the task..Like something : written in VB, or something..Hmmm.. There's a good idea for me... : : -Mirror tile RPGCode2 Program. : Like being able to flip tiles with RPGCode? Again, using *my* system (I love being : egotistical.. <g>..) you could do that.. Just load a tile into a tile array, write a program : to flip it (easy to do, just transfer all the pixels from one side to another using an equation) : and tada.. : : -More Ambient effects. : : -Animated Ambient effects. : Sure, sounds cool.. Easier implementation of this would be great.. : Although I can get some pretty cool shadows and flickering torches and the : like using #PutPixel.. It's a lot of work, and easier implementation would : be very nice.. Especially ambient effects that were PIXEL based and not just TILE : based!! >:( : : -Realistic echoes in caves. : Heh... This one's kind of novelty.. : : -8 direction movement. : Yeah, I had a movement engine that allowed that, but since it wouldn't work well : with other programs under the TK's multitasking system, I had to scrap it..:( : It really wouldn't be too hard for Chris to implement this, though.. : : -Pixel by Pixel movement option in game starter. : Heh, I don't think you realize how hard a transfer over from tile to tile to pixel to : pixel would be.. Of course, you probably mean pixel * tile, where you move a certain # of pixels : in a tile, then pop to another tile.. Seamless pixel * pixel movement would require a total overhaul : of the engine and a lot of backwards compatability work (almost all RPGCode game manipulation stuff is using : tiles, not a pixel * pixel map..) : : -*Café RPG Code 2 Program. : Well, you could do this by yourself you know.. It's really not that : hard..:) But I guess that's why it has a *.. : : You don't have to make all of this stuff. : : I will trying to do the ones with the *'s. : : I'm still just learning RPG Code 2. : Good suggestions, if a bit hard to do on some of them...:) : Mike
