Waterside rebooted

Sadly my previous project: Waterside was lost when my last PC went. But since I've decided to come back to the RMing community I've started up a new version of it and am in the early stages of mapping right now.

Here are a couple of screen shots for your viewing pleasure:

Hello Again!

I'm still around By: Hawkeye  

    So I may have been gone a year from this blog, but that's ok as only one person was reading at the time anyways :P I'm back now however because I finally got myself a new PC over the Mac I was using, which made it very difficult to use RPG Maker mainly as you couldn't. So I lost everything I've worked on over the years as Kobras Realm deteriorated, which is sad, but we move on.


I went online to try to track down my old games and found that all the links were broken and the hosts long since gone. Jay's One Stop Pop Shop was downloaded almost 3000 times though, which makes me very happy. So happy that since it's now lost to the depths of the internet along with my infamous Holiday themed games that I am now going to create some new ones. Hawkeye's not gone from the community, so don't you dare think that wiping out my RM2K legacy will rid the internet of me!


See you all soon!

Making a Heads or Tails Mini-Game(Rm2k/2k3) By: Hawkeye  

     Ok so you want to make a, "Heads or Tails mini-game," this is actually very simple: 

1) First off, get yourself a person who's gonna flip the coin, so make an Event and give it the graphic of some random guy. Make the Event Start Condition: Push Key and set the event to Same Level as Hero. 

2) Next move into the Event Commands Box and make a message, something like; "Let's play Heads or Tails, pick one." And a brief description of the rules.

3) The next command should be a Show Choice command, make it 3 choices. HEADS, TAILS, LEAVE. 

4) Under the HEADS choice here's what we're going to do. Make a Variable and name it "Heads", then SET it to 0. Then make a new variable called HEAD/TAILS and set it to RANDOM : 0 to 1. Under that make a Fork condition and have it set that if variable HEAD/TAILS is EQUAL to 0 check the add else case. Under that make a message like, "Good Job! You've won!" and in the else case make a message like, "Aw, sorry you lost. Perhaps next time you'll have better luck." 

5) Now after the end case under that TAILS choice here's what we're going to do. Make a variable and name it "Tails", then SET it to 1. Then take the variable called HEAD/TAILS and set it to RANDOM: 0 to 1. Under that make a Fork condition and have it set that if variable HEAD/TAILS is EQUAL to 1 check the add else case. Under that make a message like, "Good Job! You've won!" and in the else case make a message like,  "Aw, sorry you lost. Perhaps next time you'll have better luck." 

The coding's pretty simple so I wont show it to you but you will in the end be using 3 variables and two forks, remember that. You can add betting and losing/gaining money if you want, but that's more into it and I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself. If you're having any trouble I may add the code later and break it down a bit more.

Project-RPG

     I'm a believer of, "Good work, deserves good mention." So, I'd like to take a moment to talk about a new site trying to get noticed in the community that deserves recognition. Project-RPG has recently updated their site and organized their somewhat chaotic resource section into something quite worthy of checking out. I'm very impressed with the work these game makers are putting into not only their craft and hobby, but something they seem quite passionate about as well. I remember starting Hawk Games the original site back in 2005 and trying desperately to get people to join my forum because I knew we were delivering good content, but the sad thing was that no one else did. That being said, I hope you'll take a moment to browse through Luka's original resources and maybe join the site and forum, give it a nice look over and really appreciate the work that's going into it at : Project RPG Resources

     Here are a couple of randomly picked charsets that caught my attention. Apart from the first one because that's actually a custom one their making for me of my avatar, very well done so far I think. So stop off and give them a look.

     There's not much else new with me and things at the moment. I'm in the middle of packing for a move, so I probably won't be very active this week, but I'll try my best. I'll leave you with another screenshot from: Waterside, my current Rm2k project. This is just another shot of the town, closer to the water with the local women playing some music near the dock.
