I will gladly answer your Qiestion.
I included the graphics, but I didn't make it animated.
To make it animated, you have to make the bomb character turn, starting at north and going clockwise, stopping at the last sprite.

A similar design is used for the healthbar.

EDIT: only the current "developer" is allowed to work, to prevent simultaneous updates. So Timo006's update is illegal, especially indicated by the fact that his file is smaller than Vittro's.

Now that I want to work on it . I get it now, so it won't happen again.

updates:-fixed a bug issue with slayer and bombs.
-added a bomb-throwing graphic.

It may not look much, but I've worked a few hours on it and I had to change the slayer script completely.

Besides, it is weird that my file is smaller because I used Vittro's hold to build on.

I updated/fixed some stuff:

- I made the bomb animation one single character with a loop.
No idea why it was so weird.
- When you die, you now go to the high scores room, and once you're inside, you can't go back anymore.
- I changed the monsters in such a way that there's only one npc for each type of monster.
- I'm working on getting blood to appear via an invisible die npc.
- I'm working on the healthbar.
- I fixed the bomb-refiller script so you can refill as often as you want, got rid of the uneccesary End command.
- I'm going to add a shop in wich you can buy bomb bags and weapons.

I still need the media packlet though, I'm working on a different computer right now.

I was just looking at your scripting, to see if you had it also and you do! In the cheats place, the character who verifies the code has two rectangles as one of the variables!

Nice job, BTW.

Funny. I never noticed this.
It may be because I used a computer-generated script (do you really think I'd go through all those letters!?).
Oh, and thanks.

I wonder what your RPG looks like.

This is the new version.

changes:

-made it so that your maximum level is 30. (can be changed)
-succeeded in making semi-random attack values using some simple math!! I'm pretty proud of it!

note: school is starting again, so I probably be unable to work on the hold until 6 PM (+1GMT).

EDIT: file attached.

EDIT AGAIN: I just can't believe we made a hold of 2MB!!

Here. I think I made the damage way more random.

It's a fascinating concept Reminds me of the old Final Fantasy games. One slight issue/problem...? Is the healing supposed to be always free? If so, one can just churn back and forth hacking down roaches - wouldn't it make more sense to charge at least a minimal fee for the healing? Makes tactics a little more interesting.

I don't mean the health potions - I mean the healing building that heals you for free...

I don't think so, in every RPG I played there was at least one place where you could heal for free, and I can't think for a reason (exept for tactics) why you should pay money for it.

EDIT: Someone Else, just a few things.

1)that bug of 2N is just because the hold is still incomplete. As we didn't put an NPC to change te roomVar and a level entrance in that room.

2)How did you made the damage a bit more variable? I can't see any changes both in the editor and the hold itself.

3)If you make your own version of it, you should use the player file we posted. it is called "Drod the RPG player". Please do that because using that player file is the only way to keep the custom NPC's and the custom floors. Otherwise you ca't fully enjoy the hold.

Huh? What kind of flawed RPGs do you play?

In Final Fantasy I, the very first healing place (Coneria Inn) costs 30 gil per night, and it only gets steeper from there...

Most RPGs I have played do indeed have a heal-for-free place, but often it's only accessible in the beginnings of the game when you're weak, or during certain sections. It's not usually accessible all the time, you usually have to pay.

It depends. You could go for a more nethacky feel where managing resources is all important, or a more console RPG feel where given enough time you could just steamroll everything in your path.
