Sorry your browser is not supported!

The first version is available now. (I'm getting just about burnt out with this project )

Click the download button to get a zip file call RPG_Mod_Updates.zip.

You know where FPSC-Game.exe goes. All the rest goes into FPI EditPad folder (if you are using it).

The doc goes anywhere you want.

What is in RPG MOD?

The first thing you must do is create a setup file: rpg_setup.fpi. This setup file creates the Inventory System as well as initializes five options. If you use FPI EditPad then you can

insert "rpg_example_setup.txt" into a blank FPI document for guidance. Also the documentation will explain what is needed. NOTE: The docoumentation has not been completed as far as

detail.

rpg_syncrate= (indicates frames per second)
1 = 34 fps (default)
2 = 38 fps
3 = 42 fps
4 = 46 fps
5 = 50 fps
6 = 54 fps
7 = 58 fps

rpg_playerfootfall= (0 or 1)
0 = no player footfall
1=player footfall (default)

rpg_blobshadow= (0 or 1) - This is the circular shadow beneath the characters.
0 = do not show shadow
1 = show shadow (default)

rpg_showblood= (indicates whether or not blood splats are used. Defualt is 0.)
0 = do not show blood splats if present by default
1 = show blood splats if present by default

rpg_usethisblood= (indicate new blood decal)
The name of the decal folder you wish to use. In order to use another decal, then rpg-showblood must be set to 0.

[FOLLOWING TWO ARE JUST NEW]

rpg_disableambientkeys (no parameter) disable the “,” and “.” Ambient keys. Some may think of them as the "<" and ">" keys.

rpg_muteplayerjumpsound (no parameter) – this mutes the sound player makes when he/she jumps.


[VARIABLES]

You can setup variables in the setup file.

rpg_createvar=
All named variables will follow this condition seperated by a hyphen (-).
Example: rpg_creatvar=myvar1-myvar2-myvar3
The action that follows this condition is “none”.

rpg_initvar=
Using this condition you can initially set a variable to a certain value by using the format: variablename value. Each pair must be seperated by a hyphen (-).
Example: rpg_initvar=myvar2 10-myvar3 text-myvar1 5 (Notice that they do not have to be in the same order as they were created. Also notice that you can use text.
The action that follows this condition is “none”.

[THE INVENTORY SYSTEM]

The inventory system is divided into Categories and an Inventory within each category.

Categories

* Six is the maximum number of categories that can be defined.
* Each category defined will be numbered consecutively from 1-6 in the order they aere defined. Category number 0 is reserved for a weapons inventory. However, the Weapon category will not

be used in this version.
* The categories can have a title if you use the text option or the icon/hud option. You can also have a background image for the categories.


The Inventory List

* For each category you can have an unlimited amount of inventory.
* You will setup your inventory list throught he setup file.
* You can setup a monetary system by defining monetary items. (See documentation).

Both Categories and Inventory List has the options for text styles as well as positioning of the categories and inventory list. It uses' a simple x,y coordinate system. A utility program

will soon be provided to help determine x/y coordiates of the game screen.

[THE CLUE SYSTEM]

This is a special setup that is created by the rpg_clues_setup.fpi file. It will be used when you want to provide clues to the player.

* The "Clues" System also has a category of sorts. You can provide a set of clues with an identifier text code. Each clue is assigned to an entity, either a character or non-character

entity. The name of entity will need to be unique and will be a part of the setup.

* Each clue can be viewed by the player when it is discovered or picked up.

* You can provide for your player to view all of the clues. Those that have been picked up or solved will have their clue displayed. If not either a series of question marks will be used as

a placeholder or you can have your own placeholder text.

* You can also proved for your player to view a group of clues that are associated with the identifier code.

* You can provide a title for the list of clues.

* The list of clues have text styles available to them as well as the title for your list.

[THE TEXTING SYSTEM]

There are several type of texting.

* Chat Sequencing. This is where you can have a chat with a character.

* Entity Text Messages. This would usually be used for non-character entities. However, you could use it for a character as well if it is used in a non-chat situation.

* Text Prompts. Is unique for a non-character entity.

* Question Sequences. A question sequence is used if you want to ask a question before the player can continue or complete an action, etc.

NOTE: The following characters are not valid within a text string: comma (,) or colon (. Therefore, you will use the character “~” for a comma and the character “|” for the colon.

These will be replaced by their respective character.

This sounds very promising and nice list of commands you've got there. If possible of course as in some cases its not possible but if it is can we see a screen shot of the mod in use maybe even a video.

Thanks, The Next.

I thought I probably should let everyone know that all of the commands shown are working and have already been tested. There still needs to be some tweaking on just a couple of things, however.

I have just begun the "talkbox" or chat sequences for characters. There will be a lot of trial and error with the logic for this. I already have a simple method working just to get me on the right track. The action command is "rpg_talkbox=" and the value is the character number in the array. However, this will be a lot different when I am finished.

I'll get some screen shots up soon. Probably yet today (my time now 15:34 CST).

Sounds awesome i will be keeping a close eye on this one seems like a great mod so far.

what is rpg?

Ummm really? As a "game designer" that is a term you should probably know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game

This mod looks very promising. Hope it turns out well!

You already know I'm looking forward to seeing this in action

Role Playing Game

Examples include Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, etc

edit: damn, 3 posts in 4 seconds, is that a record?

I'm a little embarrassed to use these as examples. They are from my test level.

You can have up to seven categories and a number of inventory items within each category. Category 0 is reserved for weapons and will be handled somewhat differently. (I haven't figured it out yet, however) . You are able to have your categories shown as text or you can show them as graphic images. You can do the same with the inventory list. The following images will show the text mode. You are also able to have a category title if you are going to display in text mode. The following image shows this:



You also are able to have a graphical image behind your category list or icons, just as you can with the inventory list. You simply click on "Mail." If you are displaying the categories in text mode you can also provide numbers such as 1. Mail. The player can either click on the category or press the number of the category. The following image shows the inventory list of the mail category:



The number in parentheses is the number of that item you have in your possession. If it is zero you cannot do anything with it. However, the next image shows one action the player can take with this particular if he does not already have the item. This is indicated by the developer in the setup. There are several things you can allow for an item. See the next image:



You have the opportunity to buy this item if you have enough in your monetary inventory to purchase it. If you select #1. You might see something like this:



You can have four (maybe seven) monetary funds. I can't remember right now. I have restricted the number to make it easier on me for now.

In each case you are able to press the number that corresponds to exit in order to return without doing anything with the item. Also, for the moment I have hard-coded the key to press to exit out of a category list or an inventory list.

If you take a look at the documentation, you will see that everything is designed by the developer. Where to put it what font to use what size to use, what color to use, whether it is text or graphical, etc. So, it is pretty flexible I think and if it doesn't look good it's the developer's fault.


Bye for now.

Ooops I forgot something. My initial test for the talkbox. When I reach the santa goblin this is what pops up. And it is NOT a hud it is pure text.



EDIT: Also, the text will wrap around according to the width of the box and will add the background color for each line.

Sounds great and the examples look very good for a mod that is only just starting up, great work and will take another look at this tomorrow.

Don't let the timing fool you. I've been at this for some time now. I just didn't want to start a thread until I was sure I had a good start and that I knew if I was going to sell it or give it away.

This Mod sounds great and I am going to look over the new commands and think of new scripts. I will be watching this after I dig out a couple of old RPG designs I have laying in storage

i meant to ask what does the mod do...and also there is rpg weapon and i was confused .....also there is a script in the forum for all rpg mod features that i have it in my game but it is done with huds...whell this must be a great mod but i hate that it's not merged with airmod witch i use and need....

just a thought.. since it would take lots of work to use anyway (also modding would probably take more) and it's possible to do make RPG using scripts why don't u save some effort and maybe have a tutorial on how to do so using only scripts, maybe offer some basic scripts as an example?

either way it's a great contribution TY

nikas, its a mod to make role playing games. I doubt it contains an RPG

Who knows? That dwarf looks like he has some dirty tricks up his sleeves.

The mod looks great Flatlander! It will definitely open up infintely more gameplay options. Keep up the good work!

dark peanut

This looks like an incredible mod - will it also enhance performance, ala S4?

@Bibo4PC


I understand what you are saying but what is being provided here is extremely difficult to do in FPSC legacy. All displays including text will have to be done using huds, which can be done but is actually more unwieldy. Keeping track of inventory would be extremely difficult if not impossible as is with intelligent conversations with characters in the game. Although, I'm not sure how I will do the logic but at least I now have a working talkbox.

@chidem


Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure what improvements S4 has made. Right now, however, I am not going to mess with Lee's code. All the code so far has been added code. Until I get what I want done, well, done, then I might look at performance. I have a long ways to go before then. Also, for me personally, performance has been quite adequate. Especially in the realm of a RPG.

In fact I have taken a couple of steps back and am rewriting code that has to do with the text colors and background colors. I wanted the ability to be flexible in terms of allowing whatever colors the developer wants for their text lists (category and inventory - of course, they can be graphical and wouldn't need colore but there needs to be an option). The only way I can do that (after much thought) is by the developer providing the three rgb colors needed. DBPro is somewhat limited in that regard and that seems to be the easiest way for flexibility. Also, I had forgotten about the fact I didn't finish a bit of code that has to do with the inventory so I want to do that before I continue on with the character chat and miscellaneous type messages that would be attached to other entities.

Lol he doesnt have sleves

Ahhh, but if you look behind him, you might find an rpg.

I said I wasn't going to post much. Well, I'm posting again. I just wanted to show why there is a need of a mod for an inventory system.

First of all we have categories and inventory within each category. Then we have the capability to have either text or graphic representations. If we have text we can have different styles. An example is shown in the following image.



This looks horrible. I think I want to change it. Instead of creating graphic huds which would take a long time, just go into the setup file and change values. Just takes a minute or two.

You will notice that the title line is not italic but the rest of the lines are both bold and italic. The last line is a larger font size.

...this is very cool, F l a t l a n d e r!

This will be a great addition to the mod library...

Thanks Seth.

I thought I would show you category icons being used. They can be displayed while the game is being played and then the allow the player to select something from the inventory through either triggers or keyboard. Or they can be hidden until the player wants to select something from inventory.



These icons are not of good quality. They were just thrown together for testing and then I scaled them to boot.

Here are the category icons with a graphical background. Remember these are tests and therefore quality or design is not important.



I can actually think of a better background but no time.

This is coming along good. Getting third person here could also be a plus. Since in my opinion rpgs play out better with the 3rd person view unless your game is visually impressive like oblivion than id go first lol.

This is coming along very well nice work love the new icon based design its good.

...looking good, F l a t l a n d e r.

If there comes a point where you need assistance with creating higher quality icons, give me a shout.

Graphics is my thing, and I'll be more than happy to help you in this regard.

Some very nice work there Flatlander, nice stuff and very original.

Good luck with this one.

whell i actoually have some help with 3rd person shouter but the only problem is the camera and weapons.....if i could find a way to fix this it would be great to make an mmorpg with this mod......

I am currently finishing the inventory system and updating the documentation. This is preparing for releasing the RPG mod that contains the inventory system. A few more days. Hopefully by end of next week. However, no promises.



Cool, thanks Seth

An MMORPG with FPSC? Yeah because that's going to happen.

I'm actually quite excited for this mod. I might actually reinstall FPSC to play around with it lol.

yeah??really whell we will see about that in my game ..third person camera view..... the game http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=153601&b=25

You obviously don't know what an mmorpg is then. It's something FPSC is not capable of doing.

Getting your game to have 3rd person means literally nothing. (However, that does look quite good.)

Anyways, I'm not going to argue with you because this is actually a good thread.

ohh i know that fpsc wont ever be mmorpg it needs internet game play open world without loading etc...i meant to say about the third person camera and with this mod my game wil rock.............

As you said, all you did want make the character a gun.

If you want Third Person then buy WizMod.

That would be my suggestion. Sorry, but I will not be making 3rd person capabilities within this mod. That defeats the whole reason for FPSC as far as I'm concerned. So, please don't discuss 3rd person capabilities in this thread. Thanks.

I did incorporate some of what is found in airmod. However, I did not include any weapon enhancements that he developed. I duplicated some before I knew they were in his mod but I did take a couple of others that involved camera use. Some of them I actually am not using yet and the video backdrop has not been tested. I will be looking at Dark Video and had gotten permission to use whatever I can or decide to use from that if I purchase it. The encoder cannot be redistributed, however, so that must be purchased by those wanting to use it. More details will be forthcoming if I decide to use it.

There is an upcoming plugin that will be available for DBP sometime next week. This is also something I might look at. I can't reveal it at this time.

I got to thinking and started to wounder. Is there going to be any codes to allow a player go to different levels? ex. player is on level 4 and realizes that they missed something in level 3 and wants to go back.

ohhh come on....the only thing i need is to dicrease the lower and upper view dont be like the television that doesnt give any help only comersials////plz help me with decreasing the camera...hey can you mod rpg mod so that we could go here and there with a litle loading every door lets say//////

@nikas

This is not the place to ask for help with your mod or whatever help you are asking regarding 3rd person. This thread is only for RPG mod questions. Don't make me report you to a moderator.



Good question and I believe this is the same question Gamer X is asking if I understand you correctly. Yes (hopefully - keep fingers crossed) you will be able to go to different levels as required during your design. It was not put into the first manual. However, the next uploaded manual will have it. You will be able to get it in the first post.

I'm not sure but this will take a lot of coding and the logic is going to require that all current data in levels that the player is leaving will need to be saved. This includes whether a door has been opened or not. I know Lee is going to try and have most everything in a level when it is saved for the migration version. I am not sure if he is going to have a newer version of FPSC legacy. This is similar to what I must do but the original source does not save everything. So it will take some extra modifications to the code.

i love elder scrolls iv oblivion its the best rpg ever !!!

@Flatlander: It is possible and fairly easy to do this.
I suggest looking at the current saving code and either making some new subs or adding to the existing subs.

The mod is looking great so far

@knxrb

It probably will be easier than I think. Just haven't looked at it yet. However, each level is going to have to have it's own save folders or however, this info is saved.

I guess the critics do say this is one of the best ever. Of course, you have to remember that this game was created by a whole team of developers and I am only one. And of course what I am doing is trying to allow developers to create a FP RPG.

RE Elder Scrolls IV: oblivion.

The ability to develop a RPG to play different characters will not be incorporated.

I will probably incorporate a limited "magic" system.

I would save a file with all required data in it and name the file the same as the level number.

Good luck with finishing the MOD, I can't wait to try it out.

I am now tweaking a few things and adding a couple of things I had forgotten I wanted. Then I will begin testing each and every condition and action for the inventory system.

Can't wait for it to come out this will be very useful as I'm working on an attempt to make an rpg right now.

I am now testing each and every condition and action of the inventory system. Already found one bug and it was only the second action I've tested. Nothing horrendous to fix though. Will keep you informed. As soon as I'm done with this I will upload a link to the mod I have done so far so those interested in it can play around.

when will there be a demo im really looking forword to trying this game and if you want i can help beta test the game for you

fredy, this isn't a game. It is a mod for those who want to create RP games in the FP perspective which also utilizes all of the features of v1.15.
