Rpg-kit
by Alex (Stalker) Sakablukow · in Torque Game Engine · 07/21/2006 (11:13 am) · 43 replies
I have seen many people here, who asked for a free RPG-Kit, but actually we have no one.
So we build one ;)
It should be free, so I will not use any of commercial Packs or Resources, so it's no TLK-Support here, or something like this ;)
It should be quick, so I will not use any Shader or performance-hungry AI.
It should be playable for anyone, so every user should be able to create a server, or join one, like Diablo.
My own primary goal is to create a small light-weight funny Future-Action-RPG, but I want to use meele Weapons too, so you can use it for a "classic" RPG with a few changes.
The first parts that I will write will be:
Add more and better KI-Enemies, more different weapons, more items, drops, random drops and drop-lists/pools, different player-chars, player-stats, exp, leveling, trade, and so on...
I haven't a hard plan, I will build it step by step, and post it here for everyone. If it's done, I will create a complete Resource for Torque-Community.
I dont have really much time, so it will take a time until end. I will try to post one "milestone" in 1-3 weeks.
If someone will take his part to this, he can post here add-on-resources (or what ever). If it's looks good and is useful, I will build it into the Kit. The resources must be free and fully compatible to TGE 1.4 and other resources here.
So we start now...

// Milestone 2: Prepare the Game to add more chars/enemies
Go to shapes-directory, and create a new "chars"-directory. Move "player"-directory into "chars"-directory, and rename it to "generic". Go into "generic"-directory, and rename player.cs to generic_player.cs, and player.dts to generic_player.dts
It's now our generic humanoid player. Some of our chars/enemies in the future will be based on it, other not.
Go into /server/scripts/ directory.
You see many files here, and if you want to build a bigger project, you will have a lot of them. So we build a better directory structure.
Create here a new "chars"-directory. Copy "generic_player.cs" from "RPGKit/data/shapes/chars/generic/" to "RPGKit/server/scripts/chars/".
Open it, and edit it like this:
Go to "chars" directory and create a new file "LoadChars.cs". Its our file to load all chars, so we don't need to add all of them to game.cs.
Open it, and add a new line: "exec("~/server/scripts/chars/generic_player.cs"); Save and close it.
Go to RPGKit/server/scripts-directory, open game.cs, find this line:
exec("./player.cs");
and add as next this one:
exec("~/server/scripts/chars/LoadChars.cs");
As next find this line:
dataBlock = PlayerBody;
and change it to this:
dataBlock = Generic_Player_Body
Save and close the file.
open "player.cs", and comment out/delete this line:
exec("~/data/shapes/player/player.cs");
Cut all sounds, particle emitter data and the player datablock, and paste it at the end of generic_player.cs
Its now our generic sounds/effects, but some of our chars/enemies will use other in the future.
In the "generic_player.cs" change this line:
datablock PlayerData(PlayerBody)
to this:
datablock PlayerData(Generic_Player_Body)
and this one:
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/player/player.dts";
to this:
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/chars/generic/generic_player.dts";
edit all "data/shapes/player" directories to "data/shapes/chars/generic".
save and close the file.
Open aiplayer.cs, and change this line:
datablock PlayerData(DemoPlayer : PlayerBody)
to this:
datablock PlayerData(DemoPlayer : Generic_Player_Body)
Start the game to see you have no mistakes ;)
Well, we are ready now to add more chars/enemies to the game.

// Milestone 3: Add a separate enemy-char
And now we will add a new enemy to our game.
Go to RPGKit/data/shapes/chars/ -directory, and create a new directory "GreenOrc". Our GreenOrc will use all animations of generic player, so we don't need to copy all of the animations-files, footprints, and other files. We only need his body and his skin ;) So copy generic_player.dts and player.png from generic-directory into GreenOrc-directory.
Rename the dts-file to "GreenOrc.dts".
Open "player.png" with a graphic-program your chose, and change the colors to be more green (you can draw simple green lines too or whatever you want.. or fill the picture with green color.. only to see that its work ;) ). Save and close the file.
Go to "RPGKit/server/scripts/chars/"-directory, and create a new file "GreenOrc_Enemy.cs".
We will have Players and Monsters with equal "bodies" but different stats, so we can have a "GreenOrc_Player.cs" and "GreenOrc_Enemy.cs"-file.
Open it. Open now "generic_player.cs" and copy the "TSShapeConstructor" and "PlayerData"-Datablocks into "GreenOrc_Enemy.cs".
Rename "Generic_Player_Dts" in "TSShapeConstructor"-Datablock to "GreenOrc_Dts".
The Animations are the same, but not the shape, so edit this line:
baseShape = "~/data/shapes/chars/generic/generic_player.dts";
to this:
baseShape = "~/data/shapes/chars/GreenOrc/GreenOrc.dts";
Rename "Generic_Player_Body"-Datablock to "GreenOrc_Body"
And change this Line:
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/chars/generic/generic_player.dts";
to this:
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/chars/GreenOrc/GreenOrc.dts";
Save and close the files.
Open LoadChars.cs, and add our new dude with this line:
"exec("~/server/scripts/chars/GreenOrc_Enemy.cs");" Save and close the file.
Open aiPlayer.cs, and find this Line:
datablock PlayerData(DemoPlayer : Generic_Player_Body)
We have now a new one, the great "GreenOrc" ;) so change "Generic_Player_Body" to "GreenOrc_Body".
Save and close the file.
Now start the game, load the stronghold-mission, find Kork, and shoot down this green bastard! ;)

// Milestone 4: Add more AI to our Game
Well, you have killed him 100 times, and feel you like God, but with the time its boring because of his green stupidity.
So give him a family ;)
Get the AIGuard/AIPatrol-Ressource
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=6773
Tell Marc Holcomb how much you thank him for this great Ressource.

Open "player.png" with a graphic program your chose, and make the colors more red (or draw red lines, or whatever you want ;) ). Save and close it.
Make a new copy of "GreenOrc"-Directory, rename it to "BlackOrc", open "player.png", and make the colors looks like very dark gray ;). Save and close the file.
Now go to "RPGKit/server/scripts/chars/"-directory, make a copy of "GreenOrc_Enemy.cs" and rename it to "RedOrc_Enemy.cs".
Open it, and change all "GreenOrc" strings to "RedOrc" ;) Save and close the file.
Repeat all this steps to the "BlackOrc".
Open LoadChars.cs, and add these two lines at the end:

So ... how's this really relate to an RPG?

Not to be negative.. but none of this seems releated to RPG stuff. you've added a new character and a the AI Guard resource.. So ... how's this really relate to an RPG?

For those interested there is currently a shipping MMORPG Enhancement Kit and a soon to ship Single Player RPG kit as well.
You can get either of these kits at MyDreamRPG.com!

@Ramen He's on the right track the very first thing to do after laying out a proper roadmap, for ANY game is to get things laid out filesystem wise so you can faciliate future additions.
#17
07/22/2006 (1:40 am)
@Ramen-Sama: Every Game need the basic functions to start, and every "milestone" that i have postet is directly related to a RPG. I haven't seen a RPG with only one character and no monsters and npcs ;) It's possible, sure, but it's not my goal.

i find it amazing, much more organized than my version, lol (well, my version never actually came to a version)

Default Studio Name
// Milestone 1. Install the engine and prepare the work directory
Install a new fresh copy of TGE 1.4 to a directory your chose.
Go to example-directory, make a copy of starter.fps, and rename it to "RPGKit".
Open main.cs in example-directory, and change this line:
$defaultGame = "tutoral.base";
To this:
$defaultGame = "RPGKit";
Save and close the file.
Make a few Bugfixes to TGE 1.4, like alt-tab-bugfix or fixing the broken explosions.
It's done, we are ready now.
