Title: My first ever Turn-based battle system, with ZELDA! (Updated 2/10/07)
Post by: Koh on February 08, 2007, 01:05:29 am: I wanted to find out If I could see if I could do a turn-based engine. I just rolled with it and eventually got it to where it is now. I just started today, and will try to improve it and add more on to it. It uses and will continue to use Final Fantasy Mystic Quest music.

Controls
Enter: Open/Close Menu, Attack (When its your turn).
Shift: Cast "Cure".
X: Run on Map, run from combat.
Z: action button.

HELP!
The Top Numbers are HP/Max HP
The Middle Numbers are MP/Max MP
The Bottom Numbers are EXP/To Level-UP EXP

Post by: Koh on February 08, 2007, 10:44:20 am: Instead of doing it just STR-DEF, I might go with picking a random number from that.

Post by: Chesu on February 08, 2007, 11:16:45 am: He said INSTEAD of strength minus defense. Unless he meant that he would choose a random number from the general area of the strength minus defense number... but if so, that was a terrible way to phrase it.

Post by: uma on February 08, 2007, 10:42:48 pm: This has tones of potential... but for now its like "Bleh..."

I suggest getting rid of random encounters! I HATE HATE random encounters. As far as the engine goes, it's solid as a rock. Ooh! I know! You could make it like Chrono Trigger were you see an enemy and if you get too close, you go to a battle, transitionlesly! Or not. Just an idea.

I think you wanted it took be more like FFMQ though, so thats probably a void idea.

But really, the engines probably the best turnbased one in GM.(Well... the first i've played anyways. :D)

Post by: Mateus on February 08, 2007, 10:46:06 pm: Is Link wearing a scarf?

oh yeah and it's pretty cool.

Post by: uma on February 08, 2007, 11:55:20 pm: Thats a cape! It adds to the Rpgocity of it.(If you ask me.)
Title: Re: My first ever Turn-based battle system, with ZELDA! (Updated 2/8/07)
Post by: xdragonsb on February 09, 2007, 12:50:23 am: That Link, is the sprite property of Exate
Exate has let NO ONE to use that sprite

It seems like you stole it, or didn't get permission from him.

It's less likely for him to let you use it, cause when I asked, and someone else, he says NO

change link's sprite
Or make your own caped link

EDIT: Sorry, I meant EXATE not GASHIN

http://www.purezc.com/index.php?page=tilesets&id=33
Heres a tileset for it, but he removed the cape from link
If I could find an image of caped link, then I'll show you the resemblance

EDIT2:
Maybe it's not
I'm looking for a screenshot for Link's Nightmare quest.
maybe I have it

I'll send over a screenshot

Post by: gm112 on February 13, 2007, 07:34:29 am: Since I'm back on XP Pro SP2, I've tested this. This is really, really good! I like it DBBrooks! I also noticed that you used music from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest.

Post by: pxl_moon (dotyue) on February 19, 2007, 03:42:18 pm: i had the idea of a strategy zelda game too long time ago ^^ but it was real time battle like warcraft :P

it was named "The Ancient Wars"
