RTS Starter Kit & character creation

by janet kim · in Torque Game Engine · 03/08/2005 (10:46 am) · 1 replies

Hi all,

I'm considering the RTS Starter Kit for an online RPG. Does anyone know if it includes character creation (i.e. choosing your own character a la the Sims), or is this something that I need to modify the engine for? If it is a mod, does anyone know of any pre-existing sample code or can anyone shed some light on how difficult this might be?

Any information would be helpful!

The RTS-SK is a kit to provide a lot of the basic functionality of Real Time Strategy games, like Warcraft 1/2/3, Starcraft, Age of Empires, etc. It is not a Role Playing Game starter kit, and therefore does not deal with things like character creation.

You would need to write any character generation mechanics yourself, but I would suggest that unless you are planning making a hybrid genre game (RTS/RPG, RTS/FPS), etc., then you'll probably want to reconsider the RTS-SK as a basis for your game. And if you do plan on making a hybrid genre, I'd also suggest that character creation will be one of the easier tasks in making the game...
