RPG Text Engine - Project Stopped - Mod please close

[RadBrad]

A while back I noticed that a lot of begginer VB coders I knew on several forums were interested in coding a Text Based RPG. Now, it might seem simple to some of us coders, but a lot of it can be quite mind buggling to some begginers.

I decided to release a source code on my project forums called Text Night RPG Engine (TaNRE). I thought it's a basis and learning source for begginers game coders to use and study. So here it is:

NOTE: NOW UPGRADED TO 0.6

TaNRE v0.6

An "ickle" guide for begginers:

Ok, basically all this is doing is assigning things to a big textbox. When you enter text and click the button it loads a function. Within this function is a piece of code called a "Select Case". Basically depending on whether the text in the textbox you just entered's first word matches one of the words in the select case statement, it calls another function. This function proccesses the command in there. So just copy and paste really to get things going.

(Btw, a better detailed guide is available at http://www.devilhart.co.uk.tt in the forums, public access so no need to register )

Thanks, need any help just ask.

-------------

Features:

Character Save Loading (.ini files)
Room Loading (.ini files)
Basic Stats
Basic NPCs (.ini files)
Character Creation
Movement between rooms (enter N, S, E ect...)

Things with 0.6:
Bug Fix: Room number didn't save when character saved causing the RoomNum to be reset to 0, fixed.

Things to be fixed:
A better way of automatically scrolling the text to the bottom on room change (or any other action causing text to appear).

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed...
Anyways his link isn't dead, at least the link to his site (http://www.devilhart.co.uk.tt/):

Hi, and welcome to the new forums... and main site for how things are looking at the moment. My hostings main-site went down over a month or so, so I knew eventually the server I was hosted on would eventually run out and the site be completely wiped.

Source http://s13.invisionfree.com/DevilHar...hp?showtopic=1

Judging by what he said, hes probably looking for a new host. I would wait probably a week or so. Or if your really desperate, as you seem to be, you can email him or PM him on his forum.

Oops i was extreemly angery at the moment i posted that *plz dont ask why* is there a posablaty to add a cencored words orsomething

[OnTopic]

I downloaded it and i dont like it
I dont she the use what can i learn from this?

[RadBrad]

It's only in early stages, since i've been working on it for three weeks or so and have had my site to concentrate on. When I said people can learn from this I ment kind of beginner VBers, since it covers a lot of basic and intermediate topics. Such as working with functions, modules, program flow, .ini files and some other stuff. So if you already know this stuff it's not worth looking at. However...

The next version is TaNRE v1 Milestone, which means I'm adding mucho features. Everything you want in a text engine's gonna be there. Killing stuff, questing, interactive NPCs. All this version was is a short... taster of the big project I'm working on. Sorry for the dissapointment, but I assure you'll be pleased with version 1. It's due out 12th October.

Ok im intrested into Fights ect and do you say i should rank my self up to Visual Basic6 Script: Intermediate

[RadBrad]

That's for you to decide really. I aint the most intelligent programmer, I'll admit it so I'm no judge. Deep down, what do you think?

Anyway, I look forward to your review in october

[Iron Skull]

I can't wait

[Offtopic Again]
I think i'm pretty noobish -.-; Dunno why

[RadBrad]

Can some Mod close this thread, since I'm no longer working on the project. Thanks.

If you need it opened again, just send me a PM.
