@if the shoe fits wear it -
if you continue to sqauble about silly things such as using the edit button , you degrade the thread by posting things that are totally irrellivent. no , he shouldn't spam, but thats ok this time because he is new and if he doesn't finish (as I said earlier) the flames will be very high especially now that the thread is so popular
@tdk
I wouldn't bother slapping - the hotter the thread, the hotter the flames (if he fails) or compliments (if he succeeds)will be as
sometimes on special rare occassions
its ok to teach people by allowing them to learn first hand experiance as to why it is written in several places on the board that its not a good idea to post about their first
anything. ofcourse it bends the rule a little but in the long run the result for these special people is that they usually dissappear or face their shame with honor by keeping their same user name. Either way it goes they usually never do it again. So.. Lets look objectively about it this time
as he hasn't been rude toward anyone or bragged about his soon coming MMORP (see jasons post earlier lol ) like one of those special people would. Due to this alone I honestly believe that he will become a shining member of the board in the future perhaps even become a mod. (I've been waiting since version 1.08a *cough* *cough*... so this prospect is starting to appear unlikely )

Anim8tor problem :
The latest version is 9c not sure what version you have , but you should download the new one if you dont have that particular version. I am running 64 bit vista and have no problem running anim8tor. but I also have d3drm.dll placed in my windows/system32 folder (attatched )
now back to the topic - heres a tip for your game .
graphics :
you should decdide whether you want it to be 2d or 3d.
I would check out some of the older "console" rpg games. speciffically the japanese titles like ultuma, and the older final fantasy(1-5) , These games had very simple but very effective graphics that was well suited for the games. If you like this kind of game there are several places where you can get the background screens and use them with the provisions that you give the author credit. If your going to do it 3d, then you can create your own backgrounds ,ect for the battles scenes.
real time or turn based :
you should also decide before you actually start the project whether the game will be real time combat like diablo or turned based ?
music :
There are plenty of nice midi files located in the media folder not to mention the wav files in the sounds folder that are well suited for an rpg.
release date :
I dont suggest that you post a release date as this could be hazardous to your popularity rating.
spamming:
as you can see , I posted several things in this one single thread and it may be a little long but thats generally the best way when addressing multiple people/subjects in a thread.
