My First RPG ( Needs Alot Of Help )

[MASH_MX]

I Have Been Working With Turing For 3 Years In And Out.
I Have Also Taken The Courses That Teach You It, But That Damnd
Turing Book Does Not Explain EveryThing You Would Need To Make
A Decent Program. So I Had My Friend Help Me Out Alot With Stuff
That Turing Never Explains. And So Far I Got A Small But Crappy
Beginning To My First RPG. I Am Going To Post The Goals And Stuff
For My RPG Project, If Any One Would Like To Help Just Ask And I Am
Willing To Collab With You To Make A Asome Text Based RPG For A Start.

Thanks. MASH_MX

I Was Wanting To Make Seperate Files That The Main Program Would Import.
For Example: I Wanted To Import The Stats For The Mage Class If They Choss That Clas InStead Of Using
If Statements. Like Using A Unit / Moduel File For Importing.
Let Me Know If You Can Help =D

I Need A Good Battle System That Will Work With This RPG.
Like The One Used In "new atb battle" Or easy GUI battle System.
I Also Need Some Help With Making The Life,Mana And Exp Bars.

[The_Bean]

Is this going to be Text Based, or Graphical Rpg?

Trying to make it a combination of both can be pretty complicated if you want animation.
This is because Turing's built in GUI class and put/get don't work well with View.Update
But without View.Update your animation might flicker.

Having the Main menu with click-able buttons, but the character selection be typed just doesn't work well.
And I'm sure if you asked, someone would let you use their View.Update compatible Button, TextField classes as long as you give credit.

On the code aspect:
You can set the character traits with an external file.
You have lots of comments!
You may want to put all the character traits in a record to keep it a bit neater.
Also make a record for the monsters, and an array of that record so you can have more than 1 type, of monster with the same number of variables declared.

(try not to triple post either)

[MASH_MX]

Um For The External Files And Stuff I Needed To Know How To Do That.
Like Using Unit/ Moduel Files for Turing????
Dont Know Much About That Stufff or The GUI Menu
Wich Would Make My RPG Better.
___________________________________________
I Am Trying To Make This A Text RPG To Start Off.
But They Only Things I Want That Wont Be Text Is The GUI Battle System
Example Hit Buttons Instead Of Typing In Attack.
And Life, Mana And Exp Bars etc...
Instead Of The Eyesore Text Crap From The Players Status.
Any Ways Im Gona Try And Update This 3 Days A Week.
.... Im MAd That I Cant Edit My Own Topics And Replys So I Can Attach My Files Instead Of Putting Code.
Feed Back, Comments And Suggestions Welcome!
And I Hope To Collab And Get Somones Help. =D

you might have to use procedures and stored variables for the gui aspect. for example, store the current and max mana in a text file the have a procedure that calls that text file, reads the numbers, then draws a bar that represents it. same with health.

[MASH_MX]

Well If You Or Somone Could Help ME Or Show Me How To Do That.
I Really Would Like That Help And Give Them That Credit. =D

[S_Grimm]

there is a great TUTORIAL on FILE I\O. Look at it.
