Hey guys! I decided to create an RPG with sandbox.

Just a few questions:

I've looked under data/game_rpg.cfg but I can't find where the names of the monsters are. I know how to spawn them /spawn /getmonster
but for some reason that only brings up the robo chimp. Can someone tell me how to bring different monsters up other than a RC?
Also can I give them intelligence? (I mean, what good is an RPG/quest with out monsters you have to battle through?)

One other question!!!!! And you guys won't get screen shots unless it's any of these are answered

Is the development version of sandbox better than 2.5? and if so, (I guess this makes it two questions

) would all the r_ be working?

Thanks in advance.

in your gmae_rpg.cfg file. Take the Talky as an example. This is what yours says:

Code: Select all

spawn_talky = [
	r_name "Talky"
	r_interact [
		r_select $rpginterract
		r_talk $rpgself 0
	]

this is what mine says:

Code: Select all

spawn_Civillian = [
	r_model "rpg/characters/npcman"
	r_name "Civillian"
	r_interact [
		r_select $rpginterract
		r_talk $rpgself 0
	]

Take note of the "r_model "rpg/characters/npcman""
Thats what the monster will be represented as in the map.

And as for the Intelligence (or stupidity ^^)
Thats only available in 2.3 and 2.3 doesnt have RPG mode unless you code it in.

and as for the development releases. I dont know about them mate.

Now i can has screenshots?

Well the the d-version is ever changing it has things that 2.5 doesn't have but it may be unstable.

It's the development version. Thanks for the help guys! I'll try to get screenshots up as quickly as possible! And now that I've figured out NPC chat, Terak will move much faster!

Alrighty! Here be screenshots:

This is where you start... in the dark, creepy woods!

These are woodsmen (duh!

) as evidence of the tree stumps clearly point out!

...And yes... that is one big tower!

EDIT: Oh, more screen shots will follow
EDIT #2: These are just a taste... I'm saving the better screen shots for when I've completed more!

@Leo, Thanks!

@GR1M unfortunately I don't...

And I had a close up of the woodsmen at the fire but I didn't put it in for some reason

Another Pic?:

One of the main taverns that will be in Middle. (That's the name of the town)
