what to do when starting an rpg?

[infernape]

So in this part? Like this?

Code: Select all

r_preparemap "Ogre Quest" 0

firstmap "Ogre Quest"

gameversion 1
compatversion 1

exec data/rpg/hud_standard.cfg

It didn't work? I can't understand what's wrong?

sorry for double post.

[infernape]

Again sorry for posting but I really have no idea what to do now? I don't know what i did wrong or how to fix it?

Did you get any error message?

[infernape]

nope, I dont think so, nothing happened, the npc just doesn't do what its supposed to.It just sais something else about collecting apples or something.

I have had this game for weeks now and I have not made Anything

Buddy, I've had Sandbox for years now and I still haven't made a game. Sure I've started some, but I've never finished them either. Don't expect to make a game within your first few weeks of just learning the basics of Sandbox.

I've decided that for me, Sandbox is where I can get creative and just build. I no longer pressure myself with trying to create a game, but instead I challenge myself to become better and better at mapping in Sandbox.

Take the time to study the scripting language thoroughly so that you can troubleshoot and problem solve on your own. I did that with the FPS scripting and it helped immensely.

Well, i guess your right, I will probably just give up on the rpg thing and try to get better at the fps games, I already know a bit of those, its just i wanted to learn how to make the rpg thing but i couldnt at all figure out how to do the scripting. I tried the guides but something went wrong somewhere, and i dont know why. I'll just start all over again and pay Closer attention to the guides, hopefully ill figure it out. I knew that i wasnt going to be able to make a full game, and i knew that anything i did create most likely wouldnt be very good, but i still wanted to have a go. Unfurtunalty i didnt even manage to do that XD. Thanks.

I give up, I hate to do it, but I do.

well it certainly doesnt make any sense to me, it appears as if everything is set up right... it just seems... hmmm... did you use the dummy (default) setup in the data/rpg folder so that when you start, your map is in the games pallet... i never had the 'apples' problem... but i do see that the 'apples' thing is in 'my stuff' rpg config...
