Hi all:

I made a RPGMaker recently written in GFABasic for Windows.
There are 20 world files built in it so far by people all around the world. Latest submit from Indonesia.

You are welcome to try it.

Hi CyberDragon:

sure:

Scenario is now at v03-1103 on November 10th 2003.

Lots of new features including snow/underwater/fog FX,

multi-select inquiries, help descript internal for every

Sprite Messenger Icon with examples, and more.

+ Plays RealMusic & Mp3s with auto-repeat.
+ Now has internal Add-On/system image picture editor !
+ Alpha Objects allow INFINITE tiles/castles/dungeonsetc. to

appear on any map at any pixel size up to 2016x2016 pixel map

per 16 sets, no limits, just up to HD space !

Q & A are up to 300+
Concepts are up to 18
1900+ downloadable image Add-Ons
1460+ downloadable music/SFX Add-Ons
Windows XP Compatible (cause I have WinXP now!)

Main site now has 20+ World Files by authors all around the

world.

100% Freeware and main engine gets updated 3x a week. ^-^
I'm retired, this is my lifetime project, and I still have

50+ years to work on it.

Regarding small GFX it's 320x224 pixel screen, hit

Shift-Enter to go double-screen size or default at 640x480

looks PERFECT. I'm trying to keep the filesize small so

pixels are doubled to see them.
The main system 125+ music, 180+ internal Add-Ons, and

Suzi's Quest with 500+ Sprite Messenger examples are all

internal to one .ZIP that will always fit on a floppy 3 & 1/2

inch disk.

Combat engine is going through upgrades with future Action

Meter in progress.

All I ask --

"If you make something interesting, please beam up a copy to

the Scenario Station so others can both play and learn in

your world."

In this, I can also learn from it, what it was that was

difficult for you to do, and how I can continue to make

future improvements in the engine to assist you in your

future Worldbuilding efforts.

* Newest features include 3-D explosions, Photon Shooter,

Action Meter, 3-char. variables, Logic Beeline Tracker,

player runner, revive at Inn, and Auto-Installer for Win32

- - -

Scenario is and always will now be called "SETUP.EXE"
So by clicking the link below, you will ALWAYS get the latest

version, no matter what the mirror says.

- - -

Scenario is different from RPG95/2000/2003 and most other systems in the following ways:

* Scenario is different in that it has a Sprite Messenger.
That is a series of commands that you don't type but place into your message.
They are small 8x8 pixel icons and do quite a bit !

It's different in that you don't have to remember switch #s for Treasure Chests, locks, etc. These are handled automatically inside Scenario.

It is different in that you can enter Testplay mode ANYWHERE at all, wherever your cursor happens to be, and it is near instantaneous, less than 1/4 a second on my computer. Hit [Tab] again to exit Testplay and return back to the map editor to *cheat* in the game or if you are the Worldbuilder for this world, to enter in new features to your world file.

It is different because BIG world files, that is those that use all 16 maps on the average PKZIP to 200k. This is bigger if you use additional artwork and music, but with over 500+ images included and 150+ music all internal to the 1meg engine, you won't need to.

It is different because it is Freeware (and always will be!)

It is different because a new engine gets posted every Wednesday along with a Bulletin explaining new functions and features in it.

Hi Jensma:

Well it's mostly for keyboard users only, but this Wednesday will feature the mouse, 100 tiles, SlickFloor, LooseEdge, and Ladder to start into the new set.

You can also see and download over 1900 Add-Ons I've prepared for use in the system here:
http://dw817.f2o.org/add-ons.htm

There are a little over 300+ Q & A of complex questions asked by others of me which I answer using the Sprite Messenger notation here:
http://dw817.f2o.org/qa310.htm

.. sorry you're having problems in the system ?
You can always hit CTRL-Q to quick exit/save your work anywhere you are. Or [Tab] to exit/enter Testplay.

Mhhh....
Not bad, it is really good.
But one thing, what JensMa said, it doesn´t run clearly.
I´ve got a 1.2 GHZ PC with 256 DDR Ram!! O.o
It is really difficult with such a Programm on a slowly PC!

MfG DS

Features are interesting, but the GUI is not familar to me. Sorry, i can't handle your programm, however i respect your work.

Hi DarkSoldier:

* Glad you like it !
Sorry it's running slow on your computer.

There are many ways of speeding up Scenario.

The quickest and most effective is to change your screen resolution to 640x480 and then to 24-bit or 32-bit if you can.

You can hit the "+" on the number keypad once it is up and running to double the speed of it.

You can turn OFF MIDI and SOUND EFFECTS which will speed up some computers if they are using software driven audio drivers.

And you can hit SHIFT-ENTER to change the window size to a different size if you like. A smaller window will run faster, (and might look better too)

[Dizzy]

Ok i have test it.
It was really good!
The only mistake was, that some other programs ran when i started yours!
Now, I can use this program without mistakes!

Thank You for your advices!

MfG DS

Hi Dark Soldier:

Hey !
I am VERY glad to hear that it's running okay for you !

Compatibility with other computers is a high priority for me as I want everyone to enjoy their ability at Worldbuilding.

Please write to let me know if you come across any bugs, inconveniences, or if you have any suggestions, additions you'd like to see.

Scenario is only a good program because I try very hard to listen to people just like you !

Hi Strife:

* Thanks, I did put a bit of work into it and it does make me feel good to find someone who can understand the depth in which I worked at it !

If you're hungry for mouse control in the GUI it will be arriving tomorrow (Wednesday).

Hi The Question:

* Scenario (small as it is!) also comes bundled with a sample game I wrote which demonstrates all of the new features called:

Suzi's Quest. This game also gets updated every week and highlights some of the newest features in Scenario.

I don't have too many screenshots and a lot of them are really old.
I suppose I need to update, but they give a general idea of the scope on the system:

* I don't think programs should be any bigger than a floppy.
Thataway you can carry them to work and play them there.

It runs clearly too (AMD XP 2200+ M / Radeon 9000M 64MB RAM/ 512MB DDR RAM (M=Mobile/Laptop))

* Noting computer specs.. Good deal !
Does anyone have a slow computer it's not running well on ?
These are the ones where I need to optimize my code even further.

So, i went looking more...

Lots to see !

That's my rotozoomer ! All kinds of swirly math-screen stuff.
Took weeks to write !
