Can anyone recommend a simple .RPG that doesn't use plotscripting? I need something lightweight to test my port of the engine. I know plotscripting doesn't work yet, but I want to test other features before I get on to that.

I was using sample.rpg, but that's a bit too simple as it stands.

...uses no plotscripting whatsoever?

Go with Monterrey Penguin. I'm 90% sure that was released before plotscripting became available.

Hmm, that brings up another problem. Monterrey Penguin is an older format (and does use plotscripting anyway). I have managed to find a game that at least allows me to enter combat, and there seems to be plenty for me to work on there, but maybe I should just bite the bullet and make myself a test game.

Memoria's the one you're thinking of, Moogle.

No plotscripting? What! Penguin has the cheat code device, which was one of the earliest (if not the earliest) impressive use of plotscripting in an OHR game.

...okay. Can I change my vote to Memoria, then?

Recent games with no plotscripting: Here you are up a creek. Did Thanksgiving Quest use plotscripting? Nothing else comes to mind.

I'm 99% certain that any game past "planning stage" will have at least one script; namely, the end game and new game scripts.

I could make a simple non-scripting RPG for the purposes of testing.

I think. Scripting is the cornerstone of awesomeness...

The best OHR game with no plotscripting is Fantasy Under a Blue Moon X V4.

Memoria looks pretty useful, but I have now realised that using a passworded RPG means I can't easily figure out what it is trying to do when it doesn't work, so it looks like I will have to do something of my own, anyway.

Failing that, I should try to get scripting working and use wandering hamster.

Didn't Bo Hobo have an end of game script, though? o.o

Nope. Bo Hobo was 100% pure scriptless crappy RPG.
