um...hey guy's i was thinking about put a type of rpg in one of my games but the coding is difficult because the example code is for a older version of ags & i cant work with it, now what i will do is make templet of the game & post it up for download but if you are interested let me no..cause i don't have the spair time to really do make this but i really do need the help



Code:

string mana;

string expweapon;

string expmagic;

string enemyhp; //this is the HP of your enemy. ignore it for now.

StrFormat (mana, "%d", GetGlobalInt (2));

StrFormat (expweapon, "%d", GetGlobalInt (3));

StrFormat (expmagic, "%d", GetGlobalInt (4));

StrFormat (dusmanhp, "%d", GetGlobalInt (5));

SetLabelText (0, 1, mana); //so the mana points will be shown in the GUI 0, Label 1)

SetLabelText (0, 2, exp);

SetLabelText (0, 9, expbuyu);

SetLabelText (4, 1, dusmanhp); //this code isn't too necessary for now. it is about another GUI, number 4.

So the variables in the game should have been displayed in the GUI.



Code:

if (GetGlobalInt(5) <= 0) {

GUIOff(4);

PlaySound(9);

NewRoom(30); //if the undead's HP is equal, or lesser than 0; then he dies and we go to another room in Asporia:Hidden Threat. You can use your own fight ending scripts.

}

else {

GiveScore(-3);

PlaySound(1);

Wait(20);

Display("Undead hit you"); //if you couldn't kill the enemy, it will attack you and you will lose 3 HP.

Don't use that code. It's not only obsolete, it's very simple, and for anything similar to a Final Fantasy type game, you can't just start using some lines from somewhere else and add some of your own and be done.

Coding a decent RPG engine with AGS is not easy and you will need a better understanding of programming logic or you'll just fail, fail, fail.
I know I'm repeating myself, but seriously: stop. Either switch to RPGmaker or similar or get someone to do the coding for you. The third option is to sit on your ass for a few weeks at least and grind through a programming tutorial for a language similar to AGS, e.g. Java, C or C++. It is doable.

Btw, you should put some more effort into your grammar and spelling; as shallow as that sounds but posts like yours actually will stop people from offering you the much needed help.

 humm...well the only reason i even still use AGS is cause it was so easy to start working with, the only problem is i love a good RPG & AGS is hard to try to make a moving game like FF then have it jump into battle then back with out some sorta error. i mean i really do like ags, it can be really confusing & sometimes really easy, you know

Considering that you've already made several games with AGS yet still struggle with the scripting, perhaps RPGMaker would be a better solution for you as Khris suggested. It does a lot of the stuff you need for an RPG out of the box.

That is indeed the case, but having three-dimensional graphical effects is difficult with any engine except it has those built-in.
The Final Fantasy games are made by a team of probably at least 30 people, several of them professional programmers. If you ever want to finish a solid game, aim lower.
Don't focus on eye candy like screen transitions, instead learn about structs and custom functions, plan what variables you'll need for the battle system and try to build a working battle engine.

Or switch to RPGMaker.

I second (third/fourth) the RPGMaker option. 

Not only is it a far superior program to AGS, it's vastly more simple to use.  Also, I know you'll find a happy home on their forums as well.  The people there are far nicer than the people here on the AGS boards.  For example; when you completely ignore their rules, they don't care!  When you repeatedly ask for help and then totally disregard every bit of advice that is offered, they love it!  When you are told not to do something (12 times) and then do it anyway (over and over and over...), they laugh and pat you on the back!

Sure, we'd miss you like crazy around these parts but sometimes a man has to follow his dreams.  Even if it means leavin' old friends behind.

i tried rpg maker it was hard & game maker! then i tried XNA i had to pay 100.00$ to get my game's on 360 & if i am having trouble with ags why switch to that? then i tried ds game maker for pmq.4 A 2D flip no success there so that's why i stick  with ags i don't want to make a 3d game ether i like my games in 2d.

I know I'm an ass, but, THREE CHEERS FOR DARTH!

I think if you all of a sudden decided to stop what you are doing and actually listen to at least ONE person on these forums, Pushpop, I think it aught to be Khris. You may think he's a jerk, but he's just sick of you ignoring every bit of advice that is handed to you. He gives it to you as plain and simple, bluntly and truthfully as you need to hear it, but it goes in one ear and out your left nostril.

Dig the peanut butter and vegemite out of your ears, SquareEnix, and listen for once.

I actually think AGS is a pretty suitable engine for a modern JRPG.. FF8 for instance has a very similar style to that which AGS could deliver.

All the RPG elements are really pretty trivial to implement if we're honest.

Keep in mind, Calin, that you are a fairly adept programmer (MariVania, AGSeggle, many of the visual effects in EU...), and this would be a struggle to code for many people.

Another issue is that seeing as the engine has to be made by one's self, there is a lot of forethought that would need to be put into it to make the whole thing come together, and a lot of things that can go wrong along the way. This is all stuff that the people at RPG Maker have already done for you (I would assume...), why learn coding for something that other people have already done?

Quote from: icey games, translated to English by me...
... what I will do is make a template of the game and post it up for download.
If you are interested [in coding this for me] let me know... because I don't have enough spare time to do this myself, so I really do need help.

Gee, that's so generous of you, offering to post a template that someone else made for you... you really shouldn't have gone out of your way...

There is absolutely no way you could do this with AGS without putting in a huge amount of time and effort into it. AGS is easy to use to make adventure games, because CJ has spent the last decade or so working to make it so. It is also very versatile, and thus non adventure games like this are vey possible, but they are by no means easy.

If you are not willing to put in time and effort into creating your own project, then why the hell should anyone else?

Quote from: Calin Leafshade on Wed 12/05/2010 15:56:51

I totally agree.  Just requires forethought and an understanding of all important programming capabilities; you'd be surprised how many people don't know about, or even how to use, structs or arrays.

Coding is the last step, after testing of course. You should be planning your game first?

Modern JRPGs are just adventures with a stat system.. and a stat system is just a series of global integers for health and stuff.. Its really not that hard even for relatively novice coders.

Remember I've only been doing this coding thing for about 7-8 months (and only about half of that on a serious basis) or something with very little programming background and my McCarthy RPG engine is pretty much finished so it can't be that hard.

No no ... AGS is definitely not for RPGs.  Definitely not.  No.  Not.  **shakes head**

** winks **

** nods knowingly **

Yeah, it's impossible.

You are bad people.

Keep quiet, Calin! We already know you have vast knowledge of just about everything, shhh! You'll ruin the plan! (http://spentertainment.webs.com/MISC/sumobutts.jpg)

Damn right!

Calin is right. Making RPGs is easy as pie. You just have to press "alt+x" while running your game to activate the script. Some times this crashes the game so if that doesn't work you should try "alt+f4". If that fails your pc is just not powerfull enough to run the RPG script.

good luck

I think only Calin made RPGs with AGS. I recall mario shooting missiles. So icey games, you should pm him.
We were talking this time, and he said that he'd love to help anyone that just ask him, because he wants to do an RPG with particles effects.


Also Calin, I know I'm a dead man.

If this was a serious comment (and I really can't say at this time whether it is...), JRPGs are more like an adventure with Resident Evil puzzles and complex, elaborate battle systems involving heavy stats mechanics and a multitude of graphical effects, intertwinded with complex, elaborate inventory, equipment and magic handling.

Even coding something as "simple" as a store is pretty much a nightmare for a novice coder.

Code:

As I'm the original writer of that example code, so do I strongly suggest you not to use it, too. It is obsolete and limiting, like Khris stated. I'm regretful for that tutorial.

"cause i don't have the spair time to really do make this"
Game development requires a lot of spare time, even for little projects. You need to comprehend the basic concepts like variables, conditions, arithmetic operations in programming and know where to place your codes (i.e. know how functions like repeatedly_execute work) in order to build a simple RPG. I should had talked about these topic in the concerned tutorial.

I don't think anybody should be run out of here just because they ask questions, ignore the answers, ask more questions, rinse, repeat.

That way lies elitism!

Icey should make a small game, unrelated to ANYTHING made by Square Enix, that will help he learn the basics of making an rpg.

A room. The player. One monster. 50 HP points for each character. One attack for each character. A simple battle mechanic (rock-paper-scissors, say, or a random number generator).

If he can pull that off, without melting, we're done.

pub master quest was the original FF.XIII back in 05 but i had to change it if i was gonna get some were so i called it PMQ but it say icey & square cause in the future i will work side by square, so PMQ is made by me & there is more to come made by me later on

i can't do that if the code does not work anymore, i can make neku,dave,leoth... a rpg game but on ags right now it wont be an rpg unless a new ags come's along with more temp's or options on types of game's you could make the would hold a little bit of code in it for the type of game you want to make...but for right now i'ma stick with ags :]

Alright now I'm laughing.. sorry this sentence is absolutely fantastic.

well see before there was any word of ff.xiii & xiv in 05 me and my friend made a promise to our friends to work with square to make ff.xiii & 14,year later on G4 as i was heading up stairs i heard them say ff.xiii i nearly broke my leg to get back downstairs to see about "my" game but turn's out square already had plans for 13 and from there my plan was lost for 13 & 3 years later so was my friends idea for 14 but that didn't stop me i took ff.xiii,turned it into PMQ but sadly my friend still has yet to continue his plan, i love squares vr of 13 just like i do pmq...does this clear up anything ?

Quote from: icey games on Thu 13/05/2010 02:32:13
my friend made a promise to our friends to work with square to make ff.xiii & 14

So he was in regular correspondence about developing these games hey ;)

Quotemy friend made a promise to our friends to work with square to make ff.xiii & 14

I love how he abandons the roman numerals for 14.

because they both mean the same right?

               13 - XIII

                          14 - xix

XIX is 19.. but good effort.

Quote from: Xenogia on Thu 13/05/2010 02:33:41

So he was in regular correspondence about developing these games hey ;)

no i started FF.xiii before him & he thought about the # after XIII so he wanted to do ff.xix because he also liked ff(like me)so he wanted to work together on our games,then we told our friends we are gonna make the best games ever to be made!

Quote from: Calin Leafshade on Thu 13/05/2010 02:48:17

why in the hell do i keep saying 19 i mean FF.XIV, you know the online one

If you really want to go in the deep-end use Wintermute ;) It support 2.5D (polygon characters in 2d backdrops).

thats true actually.. Wintermute is more likely to produce final fantasy style results.

hum..it sorta looks like ags

It is, but with the addition of 3D models.. so it's 2.5D just like Final Fantasy 7 8 or 9.

oo-oo-i want i want, uh but i wounder if i can get used to it?

Well it's not like your an expert with AGS is it? I think it would be worth the switch.

true true, I'm pretty sure theirs a tutorial on you tube like with ags...right (:]

Icicle, who are you? REALLY? It's time you told everyone what your real identity is before I show everyone your PM ::) Time to end this!

Jesus (no, not you, Calin :-*), I haven't laughed this hard on these forums for a while!

c. leksutin?

Even better icey, download the Unreal SDK :)  Make your game in the Unreal Engine and use unrealscript.

ill give'em a shot

Oh man, that is so sad!  It's like they stole your title!  You should try to sue since you thought of the name Final Fantasy XIII a year before they did.  I wonder if they heard about your plans and stole the name because that's just too much of a coincidence.

Bah! I agree with Vince, how could they? I just hope they don't steal MY game name - "FINAL FANTASY XVI".

Not to sound harsh or anything but I do hope that was a joke, even if a poor one. Agent 47 was a good friend of ours, at least us older members, and he would not come back in such fashion after his mysterious disappearance during his move so many years ago.

Moving on; the people on this forum use to be better than this. Sure the OP may ignore the advice he is given, his posts may at times be poorly written, and even his conversations may beg for sarcastic remarks - but we're better than this, right? I dunno, times change but I like to believe that the people here are better than some of their comments make them out to be. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Peace.

[edit]Just realized I may have sounded like an ass. Didn't mean to. I've not felt so hot lately and I tend to not be very nice when I'm ill. So, apologies.[/edit]

Jesus-high-horse-jumpin'-jelly-fish!!

Everybody relax and put on your humor hats ... the world's a better place then.  I promise.

Nah-i'm not gonna sue cause even when I seen it on G4 I was still happy when I see that red head chick F**king up all the amy guy's then that behemeth, the was so gangster! Haha...but hey it's just the name they stole not my story, all is not lost.

So... you can't show us your concept to prove that because SquareEnix sent operatives to your house who stole it, correct?
Then they canceled the contract that made you the other half of the FF13 development team and pretended you didn't exist.
Those mean bastards!
(I hope that's finally the true version of what happened and I understand you can't break the confidentiality agreement they made you sign at gunpoint regarding 13 and the five following games. No worries, we get the subtle hints and clues in your posts, we are adventure gamers after all!)

I do hope that Square will get their head back on straight and FFXX will finally be a joint project of IceySquareEnixGames, as was intended all along.

I hope so, maybe I try to finda my old comic's I made around my house to show you...I'll even make a small game with ags to show my version FF.XIII nothing big but you will see what I remember(had to change a lot to fit the PMQ story); I will start working it later this sat   :]

Plan your own, original game.

That is some what true but If I come up with a game then 3 year's later decide this is going know then I change the name but keep the name! - there for proving that I did make my own game I just changed the name (ah-ha take that! |:]

Oh and I did come up with a lot of game's just take a look at my bottom picture those game's are all main except somic,link,ff.X,NNT,FF.Xiii

I. Didn't. Understand. A. Word.

Change your signature for Christ sakes, Pushpop, I'm getting sick. Or at least throw it some Ritalin and calm it down.

And please. For the love of little baby Jeebus. At least try to use punctuation. I'm out of breath not even reading aloud. It doesn't matter if you can't spell. I can't spell either. Just form a goddamn sentance, would ya, SquarePants?
I'm not out to get ya, I'm just out ta help ya.

And to everyone else: The only thing I have a problem with is his signature and his inability to type and take advice and actually use it. I think it's perfectly plausible that he did in fact create that Final Fantasy game and Square took his idea.
Now, bare with me for a second, okay? Let me finish.
I'm about to tell you something that I've held back since I joined AGS. It's tough for me and I'm already getting a lump in my throat. Jeff Tunnel stole the idea for The Adventures of Willy Beamish from my game, The Life of Marty Shore. I never finished the game because it was too unbearable to know that it would always be compared to Willy Beamish and I'd be accused of it being a rip-off. I will forever hate Jeff Tunnel and SquareEnix. They steal things... for lack of a better word, like, hopes or dreams or games.

QuoteFor the record, you did not make Sonic.

Of course he did. It's Somic that he DIDN'T make. Fuck SEGA too.

I think the troll spray might have worked... or at least the creepy disembodied hand.

Like each and every mind-bending instance of similar contributors to these forums, I hope this turns out to be some sort of complex performance art.

Sadly, it never does.

And now I hate Squeenix by proxy.

know wait see this is going know were

1)i used my phone because not only do i like check my post I ALSO LIKE TO COMMENT!

2)the phone was being kindda stupid with what i worte so now that i see it, i can say it was not understandable

3)sonic & link are not main right!, but i do like there game's - why not make - A REMAKE - if were listing like when you say read the forum rules then you would see that i like ff.7 - XIII that is why i did a small game of 10 & 13

4)and please don't hate square besause of me.

here is the 2005 vs 2009 version of Dave(main & first character);
(http://pubmembers.webs.com/ty.PNG)

Icey games would like me to email Square Enix and send a link to your games to them.  See what they think, especially your wonderful use of cutscenes?

humm..you could do that? i highly doubt they would think a teen's FF.XIII(PMQ) is better or as good as there maybe if you show me how i will start to remake PMQ.I on the other engine.please tell me how to do that though

Take a lot of LSD and see where it heads.

Well, I'll give you one thing, he's certainly got the effeminate angst of a Final Fantasy protagonist, but Dave is such a bland name. How about "Ocean", "Spirit", or "Dennis"?
I think someone out there should make a studio like AGS for making JRPGs, call it JRPGS or something. All the game designer would need to do is pick a template, choose a flashy battle transition, and choose which copyrighted characters, backgrounds, stories, and fonts  they wanted to use without having to worry about all that complicated "game design" stuff. It'll make millions!

Drunken mistake to be entirely honest.

Icey you do know this whole thread is all a joke.  It feels like it has been going on too long.

Snake, you could have put the asterisk in the middle of my name and you would still have the grammatical high ground in this thread. No apologies are necessary.

had the feeling it was, but still it was something good to talk about

Personally I think icey is unappreciated as a maker of games. Well, maybe games is the wrong word. They're not so much games as artistic experiences, the deconstruction of the very idea of a game into its most banal elements. The pointless, boring wandering of the protagonists directly reflects the ultimate hollowness of gaming in general, and, perhaps, even our own lives. The copyright infringement reflects the meaningless of big corporations and pervasive franchises. His characters are shallow ripoffs that ultimately achieve nothing and do nothing, not unlike many of literature's most archetypal characters. Whats-his-face of pubmembers something or other is the face of an entire confused generation of kids who don't know how to get past the pop culture drivel they grew up on and are doomed to recycle it eternally until artistry turns to stagnation, and icey is courageous enough to recognize and reflect this phenomenon in the hopes that we'll grow up before it's too late. icey isn't so much a game maker as an artist: incoherent, misunderstood, and not recognized as a genius until well after his time. I'd like to thank him for allowing us humble folk a window into the messed-up and soulful world of his creative process. If only Ebert knew.

Very well said, discordance, very well said. Nobody will say it better. I agree 110%

And Ebert knows, I'm sure of it.

Between both sides of the coin, icey games should grown up and mature. It's not the bad way you're making sentences, it's the inability to comprehend what we're telling you. You may have the enthusiasm, but that doesn't really mean anything but also nothing at all. Take it step by step.

Discordance is wrong.

Icey is an artiste, not some "artist"... 

HUM..SOUNDS GOOD BUT NOT GOOD...

Icey, I tried to defend you somewhat and give you the benefit of the doubt. As much as I dislike the thought of saying this... I can't make up my mind whether or not you are a troll or if you really are like this. If the first is the case, please stop. If the latter is true then maybe you should wait a year before requesting help or even posting and take that time to let your maturity develop a little more with the added bonus of understanding how to interact with others and understand their advice. Peace.

You are batshit insane.

Like fucking crazy.

lol

Just make sure you get someone to proof read this 'million dollar game' of yours - not that I'm saying you're not capable, your words flow like mineral oil in my rectum.

I think it is time to put Icey Games down.  I'm going to take him to the vet.  I'm sorry Icey's family but I think it is for the best of all humanity.

When did the AGS forums get tabs? Where the hell have I been anyway?

I just got caught up with this post, I'm literally crying from that picture DDQ made. Most excellent. Lord, my cheeks hurt.

I'm talking about characters you don't care about, severe linear dungeons (corridor crawler), and story that just doesn't cut it.  Graphics can only push a game so far.  The game only gets half decent after 20-30 hours of gameplay.

Thanks about the picture Domithan, but Xenogia, it appears as though you are trying to have a serious discussion with either a recent lobotomy patient or a really adept troll.
You hear that, icicle? Consider this A) Ha ha, you got us, how clever of you, or B) I'm so sorry that you don't understand you aren't being taken seriously.

wow, that's really stupid but not me, if you think about a forum is just another type of chat but some have rule so when this got moved i thought(great it's gonna get looked) but it did'nt instead now were off topic then some one calls me a troll, i mean i would hate for this topic to get locked but who called it is it, meaning the one that really kept this going of topic would be the troll so there for i am no troll(pub:task complete!)

Just no.

Icey... that key is near the comma and the underscore, you might find it when you move your finger to the L and then 1 cm and 5mm down. There. Now you can use periods!

I'm not a softy...yeah sure, but I offered very friendly advice on you. If you prefer being mocked, then it's fine by me. I can prove all you say is wrong and that it has been said on the forums by someone on your age, or somebody else, in a blip of a second. RPGCreator is earning 20.000.000 per day with the biggest demo made ever.

Why did no-one pick up how funny THIS (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=40869.msg540676#msg540676) is?

i didnt want to waste time on a good pic because you never know when this was gonna get locked

Errr. Yeah. That just made a whole lot of sense.

(at least how I understood it, and by god, I barely did)

Ok lest stop this, when I make a post or a comment.you must be able to understand me cause you do respond with a good or bad answer or comment + the topic was about RPG's so why do u ensist to-comment on the way people write

yes, "i ensist" that you use this:


Goddamnit man  ::)

"some tell story's", should be "stories". I make the same kind of typos all the time. Especially mixing where with were all the time.

Oh my good, I fix that ok.

Humm....I know the response to this but I think some people talk how they write,just a thought though.

I'm starting to not buy that icey's for real.
There's something about the images in his posts, they seem to be to elaborate.
On the other hand, the texts are almost too good to not be real.

Not to get off topic or anything, but, I've got a question for my mutant son:

IceMeat, what in the good fuck is up with the title, Pub Master Quest anyway? It makes absolutely no sense to me. There is nothing taxing about getting drunk at the pub. That's all I can think of. I'm picturing CHEERS with a bunch of past video game characters sitting around the bar reminiscing about the good old days.
Seriously, MeatHead, explain to me where the word PUB makes sense in a game that is a FF wanna-be. And don't tell me to play them because I will not. An explaination will do just fine. With punctuation.

\\--EDIT--\\
I was thinking the same thing about the images, Khris.

\\--EDIT--\\
Or is it supposed to be pronounced, PUBE Master Quest, because that would actually make a hell of a lot more sense when you think of this entire situation.

OMG, eight pages of bullshit without any attempt at religious debate or mention of ponies!!! :o

(http://www.kingkeepo.com/iamjesuspony.gif)

There, fixed it. You're welcome.

But of course Gothic, that's it! Icey is just a hardcore christian and smoker who managed to walk on water and now needs 250 bucks for paying StarCraft and get elected for British PM! Too bad mätzyboy already did that!

Uh...ri-ght /:|

How many time do I have to say this...like dave's name I couldn't think of any title for my game so when I first seen ML, I noticed a pub, I liked it so I kept dave and made this game way before ff.xiii which is the reason he look's like that + I had to lose my old characters & it's old story. I wanted to make this random kid who was looking for a job work at a pub.then I wanted the own to be called a pub master, but he was old so he needed to pass the title down to him. Oh and at the time in month 2 I just got ffat2 of of amazon, so I also got most of it from there
...

I think I get it. Thank you.

Even though I hate to say it! Deal with it.

   I would say the same thing to some one but what's the since they can't learn something just I said it!,you know

I think we were wrong! Punctuation isn't sufficient! Apparently there is no more hope for this soul...

The thing I love the most is that unknown words with most browsers now, have a beautiful underscore to tell you (http://www.bryvis.com/entertainment/other/agsf/incorrectspelling.png)  -- that is unless he uses his bloody cell phone while running from a fire (again).

WHY, GOD?!? WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS THREAD? :D

I can't decide what is going on here. Is this some sort of elaborate troll? Or is this the best "they're all gonna laugh at you"dawning moment of realization since the end of Carrie?

I can't decide!

Also, Oceanspririt Dennis must drive back the shadow minions of the Cabal of Conformity with the power of his EmoBlade (which can be upgraded in power throughout the game). Also, he must have a cute girl to hang out with whom he never quite manages to hook up with (because life sucks that way and every important game must have an important message!).

The deluxe version of the game should come with a razor blade so you can cut yourself during the cutscenes (get it?) to prove how hardcore you are.

Make this game happen, Iceeegamez. I believe in you!!1!!XI! 8)

you're probably playing with me but i would try it

Hey Pubmaster,

The game is open source, so if you wish to steal the graphics you're welcome to (as is anybody else).

I'm not really interested in working on another game like this, though. It was just a fun little diversion for a Saturday afternoon (and this thread had me chuckling too much to pass up on the idea).

Good luck on forming those big ideas of yours into games :)

Icey, I'd really like to see YOU talk how you write. That must sound pretty amusing -

YOU asked for this...

Haha, now just imagine those fantastic shake screen effects with that marvelous background!

This stopped being funny about 5 pages ago.

Up until then, though?

Best. Thread. EVER.

Also of note that the last funny page of the thread contained the inspiration for the greatest JRPG of our generation.

True that. I want to see that game made, and I want all the icey styleâ,,¢-text read in a dramatic voice by professional voice actors.

Ben's version is open source and would certainly benefit from less correct grammar and spelling, as well as voice acting by Christopher Walken.

Yes! This game needs more cowbell anyway.

Now that this game is open source, I hope to have it up and running on my Commodore VIC-20 by this weekend.

Not as close to the cuteness you provide.

QuoteI'm not a troll, I'm sick of people calling me that were both (='s) in different way's

To what does "We're both (='s) in different ways" refer?

Judging by the brackets I'd say that's an eastern smiley. And '=S' is a confused smile I believe... is this a crying confused smile to show mixed emotions? Maybe saying that everyone who calls you a troll is confused or upset for no apparent reason to you? Your grammar confuses me (='s)

Yeah, I was confused by this too, although I basically interpreted it as "We are both trolls in our own ways :-\"
Which is completely ridiculous really, seeing as there's an important difference between feeding a troll and being one.

Interesting, three different ways of interpreting it. lol

Shouldn't this thread by locked by now, it says c.leksutin is a moderator but he hasn't been online since 2005... who are the real moderators? And, out of curiosity, does therefore the report to moderator button do anything?

I like feeding trolls. Does this make me a bad person? lol

We are all feeding the troll by posting in the thread! Hooray!!

c.leksutin is out there, somewhere, moderating this forum from his dreams. Trust in that. His will will be done.

I really dont get the idea of this thread... and in exception to certain images presented above it's no fun at all.  :-\

If the pictures that icey-games attached above are actually drawn by himself
(like these for instance:
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs535.ash1/31344_117437244963261_100000909585407_90395_5032455_n.jpg

)
I must admit that he draws quite nicely, amateurish, but good for beginning.

I was trying to understand what can be his problem, that causes so much irony, but couldn't see anything except for his silly habit to type posts from mobile phone, that makes them look terribly stupid.
What's actually wrong if a guy dreams of making an uber game based on his favourite game series? I remember myself 13-14 years old, I had dozens of such "projects".

Seriously... wtf...

My brain hurts after reading this thread  :P

I di make those pic's + I wasn't even trying...

AGS doesn't work on your phone, the internet browser does...and yes, maybe THAT shouldn't work...in your case.

Icey's not a troll.

He's a bot.

Or he's DGMacphee, wearing a special hat.

I'm actually considering suing for misrepresenting my IP. While Ben made the game and art open source, I never released the character of Oceanspirit Dennis to anyone other than Mr. 304. Because I have objections to having my character shat on by an abomination of a game and doing things totally out of character, expect a cease and desist letter unless you purchase the necessary forms to be a licensed author for the expanded universe.

I mean seriously, Oceanspirit Dennis protecting a girl? Puh-lease. Everyone knows he's gay.

Also, icey, please take my name off the game page.

I don't mind my name being linked with your game... with the exception of the Square Enix logo.

Seriously, if you wanna keep the Square Enix logo on there I'd prefer it if you removed my name from the games page.

Thanks, and good on ya for getting a project done.

If he's not gay, then he's not Oceanspirit Dennis, right? Maybe rename him Oceanspirt Dennis as I frequently mistype.

Quote from: ddqWhile Ben made the game and art open source, I never released the character of Oceanspirit Dennis to anyone other than Mr. 304.

Look. I'm being left out and I don't like being left out. I've been silent about this, but, listen, you mustnt forget:
Ben made the game and you drew up what the initial character looks like. And indeedily doodley, you came up with the individual names, "Ocean", "Spirit" and "Dennis" (which is a nickname I call my dog all the time), but I was the one who put them all together into his final name.

Snake. DDQ. Benjamin #304.
We are the three musketeers.

We won't forget you, Icey, when we form our own game company. What is it called again, men?

\\--EDIT--\\
And of course, Oceanspirit Dennis is gay. He came out in episode 2, I believe.

uh-but how is he gay i did'nt even know he was real!, maybe he is will be a guy who takes the name & is totally better then anyone

   

I'm sorry, Snake. Without you, there truly would be no Oceanspirit Dennis. While I threw those three random names into the void and Ben took some real initiative, you were the one who made it all possible by combining those names in a previously unbelievably awesome way. Who knows? Without you, the world might have been stuck with Spirit Dennis of the Ocean or Dennis, the one whose spirit rests in the ocean. Thank you, Snake, for you, the 304th Ben, and I are brothers together. Icey can be Cousin Oliver.

I don't know. He's drawing a huge pretzel into the air, and those ARE pretty gay. Not as much as onion rings, but close.

Just tossing something out there that's often overlooked: Did you know that inventory objects are NOT a boolean, but an integer? And each character has their own set of objects? That means that you can (ab)use the inventory system for making character attributes in an RPG  :=

ill try that for his power/magic and stuff, should'nt be that hard

Not yours Icey.. Your release comes at the bottom of the list.

I hired beta-testers to give me one day of glory to make my vision with OCD, expect to be so mindblown, you'll all leave AGS forums for ever.
I'm actually bored, so well..I'm sure Snake is up to something. :)

i didn't expect different all my very friendly advices where disregarded, but I guess the big letters caught your attention.

oh no no, i just really knew it all along.  its just fun to keep this topic going even though its good funny & bad funny.

Then why did you start a topic like that? You are aware you're considered a joke in this forum already. You have some good art skills, and probably good ideas on game design, but you're ruining it with your over enthusiasm, and your lack of understanding.

Sex with pixels!

(there has to be sth with sex. Okay, idea if anyone's up for it. OSD sucks for some people. But...but.. and bare with me here, have him have sex with famous adventure characters) or even better have him begged by gorgeous female characters!, that'd be great!!!

I'll take the case

What?

Quote from: icey games on Fri 21/05/2010 15:12:09
I'll take the case

No. You. Won't.

Some mornings I wake up my eyes open.

From what I have read in this post (mostly flood ¬¬), I can only say to Icey that:
1-Start to plan deeply your game, not just a name (making a fangame is not a good idea xd, or at least i think so).
2-If you want to integrate a coded system, you need to make a start with coding. If you don't know how to do something, better to look something made, not to say that you need someone to make your game. The stuff that Khris said at the start of the topic are good things to think about ;D.
3-The RPG tutorial that you mentioned at the start, as you see, is not planned for AGS3 neither a... detailed? battle system. BUT! It has some important topics to consider when you start your planning at the making of your RPG. Starting from the structures and stuff (magic and equipment data, enemies...) , then planning how to read those structures or if they're injected in the coding... and at last...! making the graphical stuff.

I hope that my flatter doe't sounded like nonsense, best regards,
L'ark Mitsinikos

PD.: I used RPG Maker for several years and I don't see it easier. It's the same, as the only thing that changes is the editor and the pre-build engine, but at both cases you're making a game, and it doesn't changes.

Humm...that sound a little more...positive.
  But I don't want people to make my games for I want theme to help.PMQ.4 has an templet that is going to be up fror grab's,then after you get it you can edit it to make a side quest for the. Then you will send beable to post it in on add-ons sever on a site. This is call pub[add-ons] or (M) which stand's for game's that use the mog.net online sever....if ther will be one?...

1. Apostrophes are not used to indicate plurality.
2. Commas and periods have a space after them.
3. All decent web browsers will point out errors to you by underlining them in red. Right-click on these words, and it will give you a list of suggestions, which you can click on to fix the spelling.

Just following these three tips will help keep your posts readable. I'm not trying to be rude, it's just that if you expect us to answer your questions, you should put some more effort into asking them. :)

What's wrong with teaming up with someone?
Seriously, good games are rarely made by one man. Having a team project allows each member to focus on what's he/she is best at (writing story/drawing/coding etc).
Since you have pretty nice drawing skills, but have problems scripting rpg engine in AGS, you can seek for someone with better scripting skills to help you out.
Maybe you could even find another FF fan :)))

Yeah seriously, mate.  If you have what it takes to work with another person, stick with a project, and compromise when your teammate(s) have their own ideas for the story/design elements (and really from what I have seen in this thread, you look like you are relatively open to that particular kind of input) you are actually in a pretty good position.  Granted, your reputation in these parts seems to have taken a bit of a hit, but there are a lot of competent scripters around who are not very good artists and would kill for a chance to work someone who has an easier time in that area.

If you can find someone who is willing to work with you, it might be worth a shot.  Though I'll be frank--you might have a slightly better chance if you offer your services, rather than asking people to join your project, at least for your first game.  People don't seem to like you very much right now, unfortunately, but you definitely have something to offer a project.  If you do good work with/for someone else's game, you'll get some great experience and maybe win some respect back.  Though at this point I wouldn't really blame you if you thought it wasn't worth it.  A lot of these guys have been absolute jerks to you (no offense, guys).

What's wrong with teaming up with someone?
Seriously, good games are rarely made by one man. Having a team project allows each member to focus on what's he/she is best at (writing story/drawing/coding etc).
Since you have pretty nice drawing skills, but have problems scripting rpg engine in AGS, you can seek for someone with better scripting skills to help you out.

Alright!  I haves the truth in my mouth.  Brilliant.

Don't thank me yet, though.  Reputation is still a big part of getting people to work with you, and the anime sort of style you use might not be what a lot of people are looking for (it seems like most people either love that style or hate it, but if you look at most of the games produced here, you'll see that they tend to shoot for either a more realistic style or one based more in the western cartoon tradition, so it may be safe to infer that that is what most people are looking for.)  But you can still draw, which is more than a lot of coder/writer types can say for themselves, and there may be some anime lovers lurking in the shadows.

The best advice you can take is to follow advice.  There's a good bit of it in this thread, and some of it isn't worded very nicely, but a lot it is still probably worth taking.  I see grammar come up a lot.  I think your grammar has improved even over the course of this thread.  That's a good thing.

I can sympathize with this one, because when I first started on the internet, I didn't know where to put a period.  One of the first places I posted was on a role playing forum.  After a couple of (really, really terrible) posts in my first game there, the guy running it got (understandably) frustrated with and said "you can keep playing with us, but for God's sake, use periods."  I wasn't very confident that I knew the right place for a period at the time, but I used them anyway, and tried to imitate the better writers as well as I could, and after a year of role playing there, one of my teachers told me I was one of the best writers in my high school.  (Mileage may very.  And it was a small school that only went up to grade ten, so the accomplishment isn't THAT huge, but the point is, keep at it and you'll get better.)

You seem to have periods down okay, but keep working on them.  I know spelling and punctuation are kind of stupid and pointless, once you've gotten to the point where people know what you are trying to say, but when people who use more or less proper punctuation, etc. read things written by people who don't, we tend to read them slightly differently in our heads.  There are a lot of tiny subtleties to pronunciation in English.  So for instance the letter "u" doesn't end up sounding the same as the word "you" and the letter "X" sounds slightly different than the combo "ks" so that "that sux" and "that sucks" sound just a little different.  It might even be more of an association thing than it is the actual sound, but regardless, when a lot of people read that stuff, it sounds a bit like funny, broken English in their heads, and it can have an unfortunate negative effect on their impressions of the writer.  I'm not going to attempt to defend this way of thinking, because it is kind of unfair, not to mention anal, but it still stands that the better your writing is, the more intelligent people will tend to think you are--and the more likely they will be to take you seriously and treat you politely.

I'd say probably the best thing you could do right now is to try to get into the habit of capitalization.  I don't know if this is very easy on your phone or not, but it should be possible, and you shouldn't need to do it more than a couple of times per sentence.  Just capitalize the first letter of every sentence, any names, and "I" when you use it to refer to yourself.  I bet you anything, just that and keeping on with the periods will make people take you a little more seriously.  Because it happens at the beginning of a sentence, it is also the first thing people will see when they read your posts, so in a way you could say that even iffy capitalization will literally give you a good first impression.  So seriously, just pay attention to this paragraph and ignore everything else that I say.

Apologies if you have learned more grammar than your posts show and it seems like I am talking down to you.  That is not my intent.  I figure sometimes it just helps to hear the same stuff a few times until it clicks.

Regarding RPGs:  I've been working on an RPG battle system for a while now, with the up to date versions of AGS.  It isn't very cleanly coded, and if I ever get around to using it, I would rather keep it unique, so I won't share it with you. However, I would be happy to help you work through some of the concepts involved if you drop me a PM.  Explaining what I have done would help me wrap my mind around what I am doing better, anyway, so it could be a mutually beneficial transaction, and it wouldn't clutter the board so much.

I won't be able to discuss it a lot for the next couple of weeks, since I've got some projects due and Finals coming up.  After that I will be relatively free, however.

WOW that was a lot. But I think I got it all :]
  And your not talking down to me, I totally respect all the advice I get. It's just some times the way I take it, Which makes it seem like I don't care, But i do.

Thanks for the offer. when you are able to work with me can you please PM me first? That way I could show you what I need help with.

Great work.  Looks better already.  One thing: if you separate text with a comma (,), the text on both sides of the comma is still part of the same sentence.  Same goes for colons (:), semicolons (;), dashes (-), and parentheses ( () ), et cetera.  Therefore, you don't need to capitalize letters after any of these characters.  Characters that are used to separate sentences are periods (.), exclamation points (!), question marks (?), and sometimes ellipses (...).  So if you use one of those to end a thought, then your next thought should begin with a capital letter.

Sometimes ellipses are used in the middle of a sentence, for effect.  Like:
"I wouldn't say he is ugly; he's just...aesthetically challenged."
It's still one sentence, so you probably wouldn't capitalize "aesthetically."

But if you end the sentence with an ellipse, like:
"I am sad..."
If you write another thought after that, it will be a different sentence, and would begin with a capital letter.

And no problem, I can for sure PM you once school is out.  But if I forget, and you don't hear from me before the 15th or so, feel free to PM and tell me what a neglectful bastard I am.

EDIT:  Read back a couple pages.  I see you have been capitalizing on and off.  Missed that.  Sorry.  Keep up the good work.
