Turnbased rpg... where to start

Oh, and because I haven't clicked edit enough on this post, I thought I'd add that you should look through the demo mission that's included. You'll get a lot of camera information in the mission file, as well as information on waiting for events (such as waiting for the user to click the next button to see whatever cool feature they wanted to show off). It's a great resource, itself.

Here's a couple of camera resources:
God View
Movie-like Camera system
Advanced Camera
Constraining the camera
Camera zoom in Torque
Camera moving along a path
Using a separate camera object
Controlling a separate camera
Player movement with a separate camera object

Tools for mappers:

Mouse controlled player movement:

Moving DTS's around:

RPGDialog:

Here's a conversation editor:

Here's an inventory manager:

Drag-n-drop GUI control:

Pathed Interiors:

3DS shapes in Torque:

Spelly stuff:
Spells and stuff

I can't guarantee that these will all work with the current HEAD (or that some of them haven't been integrated since there's some excellent work done here). I learned a lot from these resources (especially the camera ones).

Of course, you could have always searched the resources for "camera" or "RPG" and found them...

EDIT: major clean-up because am am "teh suk".
