Part 5 of my RPG tutorial is now up:

http://opinionsandcreations.ning.com/profiles/blogs/ags-rpg-tutorial-part-five

This is the hardest of all the tutorials as it discusses the battle system. I have checked it very thoroughly but if you find any mistakes, omissions or just do not understand certain parts, let me know. 

Actually HammerBlade, the reason why I haven't posted in a while is because I was foolish enough to try and redo the tutorial frm scratch in 3.1. This is taking me forever 

I have a semi-complete tutorial on the battle system for AGS 2.6 which I will tidy up and post soon.

Hi KhrisMUC, I did think about this when I started but as I mentioned in the tutorial, the game the tutorial is based on was started before AGS 2.71 was released.

Whilst I am a big advocate of OO programming (being a C# programmer by trade), I did not want to write a tutorial in AGS 3.1 as I have not used AGS 3.1 yet.

I do think my tutorial will still serve as a good starting point for anyone wanting to create an AGS RPG . Some of the code might be obsolete but the underlying methodology is still correct.

As I am quite far in the tutorial, I don't really want to change the code at this time but if there is enough demand, I will create a 3.1 version of the code at a later date. 

As for the indentation, I've become lazy from Intellisense  I will amend the tutorials to make them cleaner.

Thanks Trent R, I just wasn't sure whether 4 posts days apart should be in the same window or not. Consider this post my placeholder for all future parts of the tutorial 

Part 5 will be up later today and is easily the most complex part of the tutorial.

Part four of the tutorial is now up:

I have also rectified an error in part 3: References to globalint 53 should have been globalint 1, sorry if this stumped anyone 

Part five will be up tomorrow. 

part three of the RPG tutorial is now up as well:

Hi guys, sorry I haven't uploaded part four yet, I was having problems with my internet connection. Part four will be up later on today.

Here is the first part of my RPG tutorial:

Part 2 will be up this evening. I hope some of you find it useful.

I created an RPG with AGS and having played about with RPG maker and its ilk before, I can tell you that AGS is a far better tool for it. Not wanting to start a flame war or anything but the RPG-centric creation tools are just too narrow-minded and it is very hard to create something unique or original. AGS is far more flexible.

On another note, I am currently working on a tutorial for creating a RPG with AGS. Watch this space...
