Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System

["Andre LeBlanc" <andrepleblanc@xxxxxxxxx>]

The closest thing I've found is the pyweek3 example that Phil posted here earlier, I've been looking over it for a couple of hours now, trying to figure out how the state engine works and how i can use it to load map information.  it looks like each map should be implemented like the Rooms in that example, being __import__'ed like that.  i'll be honest though, alot of that code is over my head.

Oh, I forgot to mention... I've looked in the PyGame wiki for an RPG that has already implemented a similar system, but haven't found any. Does anyone have the link for an open source rpg in pygame that uses a feature like that?

I want something among those lines!! But not just a collection of information, I guess it would be more like a way to make my own classes behave differently according to the information in the script, just as some of you guys described in the messages. I guess i'll be implementing small "actions" one by one, untill I have a base of actions that can describe the game situation.

"I'm working on a similar project, but I'm sort of modelling it after the Dragon Warrior series.  I'm at about the same point as you are.  I've got NPCs that walk around on a big tile-base map, you can talk to them and read signs, I've got a basic map editor too.  my problem as of late has been coming up with a way to script the NPCs and Quests.  My map file format is pretty terrible, but it works.  maybe there are some areas we can collaborate on, lots of good suggestions here already that i plan to look into. "

We're definetly working on something very similar, I'll try to implement something and send some e-mails to you then =).
ps: my map format is really butt ugly too xD
