Your party has encountered 3 Skeletons and 2 Ghosts.
Do you wish to (F)ight or (R)un?

omg sephy u stol mah ideer
The generation is pretty neat because it could be extended so easily. I'm thinking there will be more demos of this?
define constant(10,_A)
define constant(11,_B)
define constant(12,_C)
define constant(13,_D)
define constant(14,_E)
define constant(15,_F)
define constant(16,_G)
define constant(17,_H)
define constant(18,_I)
define constant(19,_J)
define constant(20,_K)
define constant(21,_L)
define constant(22,_M)
define constant(23,_N)
define constant(24,_O)
define constant(25,_P)
define constant(26,_Q)
define constant(27,_R)
define constant(28,_S)
define constant(29,_T)
define constant(30,_U)
define constant(31,_V)
define constant(32,_W)
define constant(33,_X)
define constant(34,_Y)
define constant(35,_Z)
omg npc wastage!
Wow, so many text engines are suddenly springing up all over the place D: |

I like this idea. I mean, I think I could conjure up something similar. My only problem with this is that it runs so very slow. If you could find a way to speed it up, then it would be a lot better. Try and make it an actual game.

I tend to do that a lot, don't I? :D
The custom text system is actually part of a game that I plan to make. I need it for random name generation. I'm more upset about this than any of you could be, since (including the four punctuation marks) I'm now limited to 6 free npcs. (Meaning 40x60 npc graphics, though I might be able to make it slightly larger if I really tried...)

I'm guessing that it runs slow because of all the wait commands I used in the keypress script to prevent the game from moving too quickly. I could probably get rid of some of those, couldn't I?
IN ADDITION, HERE'S A QUESTION FOR WHOMEVER CAN ANSWER IT. THIS MEANS YOU, MAD CACTI:
What's the difference between the battleless OHR engine (that zfrt is using) and the normal OHR engine. Would getting rid of the battles allow room for more NPCs (>36) ?

Hmm... I suppose it could, hadn't thought hard about it. The difference is that it has about an extra 90kb to work with, which could be used for anything, but right now I just used it to allow for 8 times the script buffer and 8192 globals : D
When I said WASTAGE I didn't mean 'a pity it comes at such a cost' I meant 'omg sephy you noob' D:
*hint* each npc has 8 frames...
eg.
| Code: |
define constant(0,_A)
define constant(1,_B)
define constant(2,_C)
define constant(3,_D)
define constant(4,_E)
define constant(5,_F)
define constant(6,_G)
define constant(7,_H)
define constant(8,_I)
define constant(9,_J)
define constant(10,_K)
define constant(11,_L)
define constant(12,_M)
define constant(13,_N)
define constant(14,_O)
define constant(15,_P)
define constant(16,_Q)
define constant(17,_R)
define constant(18,_S)
define constant(19,_T)
define constant(20,_U)
define constant(21,_V)
define constant(22,_W)
define constant(23,_X)
define constant(24,_Y)
define constant(25,_Z)
script,writetext, ...
...
variable(temp)
if(l1<>-1) then(temp:=createnpc(30+l1/8,0,0,(l1,mod,8)/2),setnpcframe(temp,(l1,mod,2),putnpc(temp,10*typex,10*typey),increment(typex),wait(delay))
...
end
|
...Also, theres a plan in version Rusalka to let you change strings like hero names by having a bank of strings which are set/manipulated by scripts and can be displayed on screen, and letting you imbed these strings in textboxs with something like ${S#}, and finally by letting you use all the special imbed tags in things like hero names as well as just textboxs.
...OHR IRC SIM didn't even use npcs to write text, but I went off on my own and added crude strings to make that work: the OHR will do something different. |

Don't get why that'd be, unless there's a pr0n star with that name...

Ah, I get it. The Rusalka is an undead maiden from Russian mythology -- she died by drowning and she lures men into the water to drown them.
Hence the Google porn, but really with Google image search, any excuse will do.

nice demo sephy, could be very good if wasn't slow.
also, rusalka means mermaid in english for anyone who wants to know.
and the ohr with this codename is going to have strings, if I manage to get on my programming hat, and submit patches for strings before anyone else will.
anyway, this was my kind-of-on topic post

It's not slow! Look at the code - those "lag's" are due to large waits.
Besides, I see no need for a dungeon crawler to move quickly. |

Well, whatever.
The file's been updated. With the implementation of Mad Cacti's advice for making full use of 8 frames per npc, I now have more NPCs for other stuff, including (GASP!) numbers.
Also, tweaked the display generation script, so you could toggle whether or not there's a roof. This could be used for toggling between the outdoors and the indoors.
For convenience's sake I made the script faster.
