Hi there,
It's been a while since I added anything new to the game engine. (Mainly working on lots of other things). I've now managed to implement the ranged weapon system. In the item generator you can now generate items that have a range and a charge (I.e. ammo) Also items that will "Charge" other items, for example a quiver of arrows will charge a Bow. For those who haven't seen this game engine before, it's based around the classic RPG's of old. The combat it turn based and is currently on a grid. (This will eventually be in 3d when I have had chance to work on that bit).
It also uses a party system so you can roll 6 characters to play with. (The help for the character generator is on the manual page on the main website)

I'll put a few screen shots below to show different sections of the engine so far. There is currently a small adventure included mainly for testing the engine if you wanted to try it out. All bug reports and comments welcome.

Download the 12.5mb file from http://www.tyranntrpg.org/TyranntInstall.exe

The website for the game engine is: http://www.tyranntrpg.org/

This is a picture of the new item generator with the ranged weapon additions.



Here is the main game screen where you explore the maze.



And here is the combat screen.

Well, I am very confused by this program, but while I was making a monster, I managed to cause a runtime error (object didn't Exist) You should try to generate this error on your computer to see if you can fix it.

Well I tested the default maze out. I usually don't like these kind of games but this is amazing. I cant believe you did this with Dark Basic either. Good Job, Keep us updated on it.

@BL Mason,
Could you tell me what you were doing when the monster editor crashed? Also what did you find confusing? I'll try to explain.

Thanks for trying it out.

Andrew: There is currently around 9000 lines of code.

Vues3d: Let me know what you did to produce the errors and I'll try to fix.

Thanks for trying it out.

Working on the Magic system and the experience system next.

Cheers,

Jas

The only small complaint is that the battles are too long and get boring without graphics. But you've probably already said something about that.

With the graphical side to the battles, I'm hoping to find someone who is willing to help with that. Battles will get more interesting when spells are added (And most likely quicker, my current design for them are here http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=45208&b=19) And with experience and levelling (My plan is here http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=45210&b=19)

Any suggestions about gameplay would be appreciated. (Graphically though as you can probably tell I'm not as skilled as I need to be )

Looks like the old Might & Magic games. I can't try it out here, but well done, and a bit of feedback-- Make the viewing area larger. People these days are used to fullscreen games with minimaps in the corner and critical information around the edges of the screen; it feels more like you're inside of a giant robot in a maze than in a maze in the screenshot up there. Apart from that it looks great

It is a perilous occupation for TGC to post anything by way of a promise, as the words get etched in indestructable marble for all time.

Thanks for the comments.

@Mouse, Currently I think I need to do a bit more optomising before making the screen larger (You can try modifying it via the data files) My original plan for this was it to have the nostalgic feel like the RPG's of eld, that I played on my 8 bit computers . Currently spending most my time with FPSC Creator at the moment but will go back and have a look again soon. (Want to add experience and magic too).
