Yeah, I was about to say that.

I've been waiting for this for years, but since we're talking about updates we'd like to see, I'll request this again:

I would really like to have a feature that allows us to turn off map names using plotscripts. There's nothing worse than creating a cutscene for a game (or using the black space from an indoor set) where the hero is hidden and having to read the map name as if the hero walked there.

For example, when you trigger a swtich inside a cave that opens the door outside, I don't want to see the map name for the outdoor section when my hero is still inside, even though I (as the player) need to see that the door is opened. So that's why I want to see this feature implemented.

Please, please, PLEASE implement this as soon as possible.

And the ability to add experience and write hero levels using variables would be nice too.

I'd also like to see quotes for clues, such as: â€œAlways the best choice for all of your slime-training needs.â€

And while we're at it, I'd like for those who seek the truth to search the place where an old man and his dog sleep before taking on an impossible mission.

More usable only once NPCs would be real nice. I know a 1000 is a lot, and I make my games conservatively to use all of the maps humanly possible. But there are times I think 1000 usable only once NPCs won't work out. I don't know if you can, but this would be real nice.

I would like to see 3-D graphics rendering capabilities, the ability to play multiplayer RPGs online, mouse support, and stereo sound or else I'm moving on.

It's probably too much to ask, and not possible with the way the graphics are coded... but at some point in the future, I'd like to see a program that can tranfer sprites/tiles/walkabout sets and palletes from one RPG file to another without overwriting the current sprites all at once.

I know it's not an update to the OHR. But maybe a well explained tutorial of various different scripts that would save some people some time to code. It would come in great handy to make minigames a lot easier.

Well, wut I would like to see changed in the OHR is really just a bug. When you use the "when key is pressed" script call on your maps, and you have a resonably large script for it to go through, it over loads the script buffer when your holding directional bottuns to walk. This could have been reported to james already, but w/e. If it waited for you to move to another grid space befor it preformed the task, it would make things work much better, especialy when creating npc's.

Solution: make your script smaller

I would like to see four layers of elemental bitsets.

Instead of just strength and absorb, I would like to see weakness, absorb, strength and immunity. That way, certain things wouldn't have to be both strong and immune to an element.

I'd like to see character name variables work in attack descriptions the same way it does in text boxes.

Cheesey Example:
_____________________________
| BAD GUY: {$C0}, you must perish. |
----------------------------------------------

This way you could do in battle events using blank attacks and still have the ability to rename your character from the start.

..
Also being abel to change a characters name using plotscripting would be nice. ^^ Like to change it to or from "??????" on the fly if you needed to.
Not a big priority though =)

'Course, to be able to rename a character with plotscripting, Hamsterspeak would need to be able to handle strings.
That would always be nice.

Smarter enimies. Or at least more freedom in what enimies do. Like, the whole spawning thing, maybe make it so that you can make an enemy do a certain attack with a similar scale. Like on Fire Attack enemy does a certain attack. I don't know if that'd be difficult, but it would certainly make it better to make strategies for bosses and enimies.

Sorry to double post, but I had a killer idea and didn't wonna forget it. Alright, an ability in the OHR to jump to a coordinate on a map. Because it takes forever on big maps to hold the arrow keys and scroll down to the part you want to be at. I think lots of people who work with huge maps would appreciate this a lot. And it would save everyone some time.
