How you going guys ? I have a simple question. I was wondering if there are any tutorials on character creation ? Similar to that of nestalgia ? What do you think would be the best way to handle it ? Such as sprite creation with hair modules and colour changing ?
Cheers luke.
Thanks man. I thought there wouldn't be many tutorials. So research topics is a good alternative.

This is really good advice Cloud, If you can learn the components of what it takes to make a character creation system then you can do something really interesting and different.
The process will always start at client/New(), youll have to create a mob for the client at some point and set that client's mob var to that mob object. And youll want to offer a chance to set your name and other attributes. See if you can make a system which is user friendly, maybe integrate keyboard inputs rather than a simple point and click system if you are feeling adventurous. Feel free to ask more specific questions about it as you go, really think of how you want character creation to work, for example on Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind you start the game in a character who you customize throughout the tutorial by setting your name and backstory as you talk to NPCs, there are a lot of ways to approach this! | |
You'll likely need to look up HUDs and experiment with macros to get things to work. On the macro side, I recommend Forum_account's Keyboard library. It has a very easy implementation that can tell when any key has been pressed.
As for sprite creation, you need to create a new /obj or /mob and add to its overlays and underlays whatever you need to. For color changing, look up icon operations and the rgb() proc.
