Do you have any tips to help me get started? I've played with it a little bit but mainly with the graphics Happy

Welcome!

Graphics are a great place to get started.
There are some articles for getting started here: http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/index.php/HOWTO.html

Well, I'm assuming you've already played a few OHR games, and you understand how the game part of the engine works, so...

I'd recommend reading the How-To tutorials at the wiki, or better yet, just messing with the system, and pressing F1 when you need help.

After you make a map, a character, some dialogue, battles, stuff that uses tags, shops, etc, you should jump right into the plotscripting tutorial.
The beauty of the OHR is that you can make a full game without coding or programming. But, to make more outstanding games, you'll really need to learn how to plotscript. And trust me, to do the basic stuff, It's almost too easy! :)

Yeah Shadows, I guess it's a lot easier for you to tell me on a forum than at break. Ha ha ha!

But good information anyway.

Oh, yes. If you find any place where the F1 help is confusing or unclear, let us know. Feedback from new users is helpful for improving the help.

I will look for things that seems unclear in the F1 guide it has lots of tips that I'm thankful for.

Ok I'm going in order of the things on the menus (starting with graphics then going to map data) anyways I was in general map data and i came across script augment. What does this mean that a script is augmented?

Script arguments only matter when you start to write plotscripts-- and even then, the arguments that you type directly in your script are usually more important than the ones you can define in the general map data screen or the NPC editor.

So the short answer is "don't worry about them right now"

The slightly longer answer is that arguments are just extra pieces of data that you can give to your script.

The really long answer is here:

Speaking of the function key. F1 while in Custom yields empty dialogue fields. (In the current stable version that is)
