Hi, I just joined the forums and look forward to talking to you guys. Well like most people, I'm creating a game in RPG make XP and seeiing as I'm new to scripting and need some help, I've had to come here to see if any is available. Well the main help I need is for the intro and the battle system. Ive had alot of experience in RPG maker and I am a very good map designer, but Im a total newb at scripting. So in the intro to this game, I want it so if the player does not have a save file, It will skip the whole new game, contine, end game part, and go straight to like a little tutorial thingie where you control your character straight away. Sort of like an intro into the game storyline and plot, then the Games Heading comes up, and then just new game comes up. Then when the character has a save file, the game loads up like how it usually loads up. I beleive this cn be done in scripting and would appreciate any help. I've been looking for somthing like this for a long time and haven't found anything like it ever. If anyone would like me to elaborate, then please ask me and I will do so.
The second thing is the very crude and unatractive battle system. Basicly I would like it like FF1,2,3 etc, where the player is side on and you can see them and the enemies and a little bar goes up so you w8 to attack. Alot like RPG Maker 2003. Again I would appreciate it if anyone could help. Also, I don't mind some tips and/or pointers about basic scripting along the way, just remember your talking to a complete noob on the subject.
Thank you all
Strider
