RPG Project *TGC* (The Golden Coin)

[Mike]

I haven't had a chance to check this out yet but I have heard good things. If you get this project to a good point, such as whenever you are ready and it seems polished enough to me, I would be more than happy to promote it just as hard as I would promote a Sandbox release, aka send out to all the news sites, on the Sandbox page, etc. Though perhaps it would be a good idea wait until Hirato got monsters into the RPG and use the RPG as a base? Then you could have spells and such as well. Take care and keep up the good work!

That would be a nice publicity for PAS. So, we will see how the things go ...
I hope that you will find some time to play the game.

I think I can create a nice game also without monsters.
But much better if they will be implemented. It's your turn Hirato much thanks for your work!!!

I would really appreciate this But for now I think that I must return at my work

And a big THANKS to the PAS team for making this possible

  KNOWN BUGS:
  
  
  - "SAVEGAME" not work (no way to save games)
  - "LOADGAME" not work (no way to load games)
  - there are no checkpoints or savepoints
  (not implemented in the rpg modus)
  - there isn't a third person character
  - there are a few buttons with no textures errors
  - the water specularity is blinding
  - the option settings are not optimized
  - there isn't an option for mouse speed
  - there isn't a died sound
  - the died message is written too little
  - it is too dark in a few places
  - the inventory menu needs a second to load
  - a few sound are not in the right place

The next release will be a major release, because the first dungeon will be finished and the game continues in the open world. Hopely i'll find the solution for checkpoints and for the errors

EDIT hehe, didn't realize you were using the RPG from 2.4 Hirato said he is going to implement some for you ;D Take care.

Thanks Hirato for your opinion:
I think that I can't include a smaller package for those who have sandbox, because if the package writes over this files it will make the complete program unplayable. For example, the menu files.... (maybe I find a solution)

Well you could first save the files for the game as something like "menus.cfg.tgc" then rename it in a bat file that starts the game like:

Code: Select all

rename data/lang/menus.cfg menus.cfg.bak
rename data/lang/menus.cfg.tgc menus.cfg

bin\sandbox_fps.exe -qmy_stuff -r %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

rename data/lang/menus.cfg menus.cfg.tgc
rename data/lang/menus.cfg.bak menus.cfg

The first set will rename the original file to a backup while renaming the new file to its place
The second set runs the game
The third set doesn't run until the game is exited, it renames all the files back to their original name

If you could put all the modified files in this you could run this bat to start the game, without permanently modifying the Sandbox files.

@Mike & Hirato
thanks, fortunately our support with PAS is fantastic

@miluaces
Thanks, I'll try to do what you say.
Or maybe, I'll release a version with all the base content and then every weekend an update.
Who knows...

[damiandj]

It was always my dream to create a complete rpg game...
thanks sandbox!!!

You are more than welcome to always post new content about your game! We love seeing it! Also I made your post "stickied" so that it will always be near the top. Keep up the good work and if you'd like we can talk about ways to promote your game! Take care.
