Like designing their path and seconds it takes to get to the next frame, kinda like the RPG maker which by the way I don't use anymore What?!?!

It would definitly be a good addition, but it wouldn't be pratical for James to program, so it probably won't happen.

UNLESS he wrote some plotscript commands and allowed you to actually plotscript your own attack styles, then import the script...that would be neat.

But yeah, it probably isn't happening. Wait for Hamsterwheel...

I'm just gonna make a CBS. That'll solve all the problems with the current battle system.

waiting for hamsterwheel is like waiting for... i dunno... aliens to come to earth.
It's just an idea and just may not happen(seriously, what are the chances of aliens coming to earth)

EDIT: Oh yeah, if you want more attack pictures (or complete attack customization) james will have to shrink the size of the pictures to compensate for the extra memory needed and to prevent overbuffering.

Just set your "casting" animation to blank and create attacks that use your hero's picture as the attack animation. Voila. Three frames of attack.
Okay, so it's not that much better than two frames, but you do get a bunch of custom animations, rather than being stuck with just attack and cast.

I remember something like that was done in veteran rpg, with Dr. Greg's (I think that was the name) character. He did these martial arts moves with different animations.

I just voted "Yes" ... even though I am never actually going to implement this :)

It never hurts to wish for things you can't have. Keep the dream alive! ;0

oooh...three frames of ATTACK not different attack animations...I'm stupid.

However, a good example of "3 frame attack faked" is SOJ2. That female character whos name I forgot holds her sword pointing down. The first animation is the sword up high, second in the middle, then she returns to her original position which is a natural path for the weapon. Amazing! Three frame attacks!

But I dont' know any other way.

What is Hamster Wheel?

I'm not so sure on this one, but I'm guessing that http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/rpgfaq.html#are_you_dead has the answer.

Oh my God! James is Dead! Oh why, dear Lord... Ahhoohohoooboohooboohoo... Crying

Why is talking about HamsterWheel so popular? The only source of HamsterWheel information seems to be that one paragraph where James tells people not to get to excited about it...

I must have missed something...
