Cool.If you want i could help you.I am great at getting sprites and stuff like that.

[relaxis]

none of the sprites will be ripped from any source - only tiles until such time that a tile artist is willing to come up with some.

What I really need is a programmer.

[pavel329]

For wat kind of stuff?

[pavel329]

ok

[pavel329]

oh i see wat kind of game ur making.It looks a little like final fantasy.I am making a zelda game just ike that.

[relaxis]

it's called an rpg

[Novice]

I can help you with some sprites and tiles but notihg to much, i don't have very much free time. I'l send you some of my work later, so you can check it out.

[Game A Gogo]

only tiles

I nust say, I am better at making Tiles/Sprites then making "Player" REALLY!

[relaxis]

I'm using Tiles from RMXP.

I've updated the main thread with the list of things I need. I'm considering this game as a global project btw...

[Hyperyon]

I cant judge much from a intro,but it seems interesting.
I think the game title should be more 'artful' rather than a normal font.

[relaxis]

The game title will be better. Unfortunately I'm not much of a pixel artist but if someone comes up with something good I'll be happy to use it. However graphic wise I'm looking for HIGH QUALITY stuff. I want this project to be the best this community has ever worked on.

Makeslane - is there any possibility that you might be able to aquiesce to a few requests to modify the engine so that this might be possible?

[makslane]

What kind of changes?

[relaxis]

well - for the loadgame function in the scripteditor -

it would be great if this could be hard coded into the engine as a menu - my idea is to use different GE files as "maps" - this way the game would run more smoothly but whole executable files might be a bit too much - it would also be too easy to cheat - perhaps create some kind of DAT in it's place?

The loadgame thing could also be put in the actor control box for simplification.

Also the tile mapping feature is really bad - there's no pallette or grid snap - the tiles also slow the game down A LOT unless they're pre-rendered and that's not good.

Also I noticed that there doesn't seem to be any way to make an event loop. For instance, if I create a series of events for an actor - I can't make them loop until a key is press -

eg

Press start img - transparency 100%
timer 1000ms
transparency 0%
timer 1000ms
transparency 100%
LOOP

[makslane]

To make this kind of loops that uses a 'wait' command are not possible.
Instead, You need to use timers or the 'Draw Actor' event.

About the easy access to the Load and other functions, I think the next interface will solve this problems.
