> They're not that important and are VERY glitchy. In my game pets will only be for show-off though. I removed the whole, "pets being your slave and getting you exp" thing. Most games just have pets for show-off (though they cost real money). In my game there will be pets for level 10s (cats or something like that) to dragons for level 75s but they will be expensive.
I thought I would use pets would be very useful for spells that summon animals (e.g. Patronus, Fiendfyre, Avis). If I could also use them for actual pets, (e.g. Cats, toads, owls) that would be pretty cool. -
> You could make some pretty epic battle scenes with the event system. You should also try expanding upon the existing story, i was really sad when the original ended D:
That sounds like a really cool idea. How would one go about making a battle scene with the event system? I'd like to try doing that. -
> Ha ha! That sounds like fun! And take your time with the game. My game didn't even require any coding (yet) because I used Dragon eclipse and that had everything I needed. Soon (when I have content up to 30) I'm planning on adding party quests, guilds, reset points scroll, pets, and much more (can't remember some things at the moment).
Yeah, I'm thinking I probably should have used Dragon Eclipse… But oh well. What I've got now is pretty good. I'd really like to add pets. I tried to follow the tutorial but got confused and failed. I'll have to try again later. -
> awesome possum possum! So, how's progress going? How many levels of content do you have? And in how many levels on content will this be released?
Well I'm not going about making this game in the same style that you're making your game (that is level by level). At least not yet. First I want to get most of my coding out of the way. You can see what I have completed so far in the first post. I have a list of maps and features. If I were to release my client today, all you would be able to do is kill Nifflers, buy things from Diagon Alley. and travel to Platform 9 3/4 via the Knight Bus, or the Great Hall via Floo Powder.. But there is quite a bit of background stuff that I've made.

> Ha ha! It changes awesom(e) to awesome possum possum!
Oh that's awesome possum! I used to run a forum and my admins and I made so many weird chat filters like that. Some words were replaced with colourful images. And whenever someone typed something like color or favorite it would be replaced with colour or favourite. And I would say meow a lot, so one of the admins changed meow to say that she was almighty and awesome. We thought we were pretty cool. -
> Yes but what will he be doing in the game?
>
> While in school he was a dark genious and him and his buddies all became Death Eaters.
I plan on having him in the dungeons (probably the potions room) willing to give out a few quests. I imagine learning sectumsempra would be a reward for one of the quests. -
> Wow, this looks really interesting…
>
> Good luck with it! 
Thanks  I appreciate your support.
> Now that would be fun! But what about Snape? 
It's the maruader's era! He'll still be a student. -
> And I would be the leader of the Death Eaters!
You mean Lord Voldemort? Haha  I'm pretty sure he gets to be an NPC. But you can be his right-hand man and run around and Avada Kedavra everyone you don't like (in PVP zones of course ). -
> Harry's or Marauder's. Don't know which to pick!
I think the Marauder's era might be better. It's less familiar which would provide an exciting and new experience for the player, while allowing me to get more creative. Also Voldemort is at the peak of his power when the marauder's finish their schooling which makes it more logical for players to be able to join either the Death Eaters or the Order of the Phoenix. -
The game was originally planned to take place while Harry Potter is attending Hogwarts, i.e. the player is the same age as Harry. After some thought, I'm not entirely sure this is the best era for a game. If someone would like to suggest an era and give a solid explanation of why they think it to be the best, I will most appreciate it.
Potential Eras:
Marauder's Era and first rise of Lord Voldemort (1970-1978)
Harry's Era and second rise of Lord Voldemort (1981-1989)
Current Era (2012ish)
Albus Potter's Era (2017-2025) -
> My dream game. When do you think some kind of download will be available? I'd play all day. 
I'm glad to see that you're interested in my project. I'm not quite sure when I will have something for download. Hopefully within a few weeks. I just want to finish most of my coding and graphics before I release anything. -
I'm currently in the process of making spells – I've updated to the original post to show which spells I'm planning on including the game and at what stage you will attain them. Now I'm making/finding/editing graphics for spell icons and spell animations.

@Byson Thanks so much for your words of encouragement.
Personally, I wasn't considering this project any more than fan art, which is definitely legal. Lawyers shouldn't care if my friends and I pretend to be wizards online rather than in or back yards.
And yes, I do have plans to add Knockturn Alley to Diagon Alley – I just haven't yet at this time for reasons unknown to me.
@Colonello, Will do -- but I can't promise it will be anytime in the near future.
I've updated the original post to include new features such as the Knight Bus, which I stayed up late last night pixeling. I think it turned out okay. But it looks a little strange next to the rmxp graphics. Any suggestions on how I can improve it?

> read the replyes there you got an "Fix"
I don't think that's true. The .mp3 format completely replaces the .mid format in the map editor. I can't see anywhere in this thread where it explains how to fix this. But I just never really thought it was a problem because .mp3s are superior to .mids. -
> Im not sure you should add Items and Maps yet I added them from my head and didnt tested them yet. If you do, let me know the result.
Yeah, I'm going to wait until this tutorial is complete before I make any changes to my source. But I'll follow this topic so that I can see when you update this  -
Thanks yeah, I'm really just starting so there's not a whole lot of content yet – but I'm working on it. The GUI is going to be temporary. I changed it so that it was a little customized, but it looks a little too plain now.
I've made a few edits to the original post. -
I've never used this tutorial, but perhaps you could find it of use:

> Wasn't the event system created just to do this kind of stuff?
Aye, but the event system can't script items and it would appear that this can. -
Since there are only two states that the chest can be in (filled or empty) wouldn't it be more simple to use switches instead? Or am I misunderstanding the difference between switches and variables.
-
Ah, yes thank you for clarifying. I was already aware of this. However I don't believe that my game will ever become big enough to show up on their radar. If it ever does though, I will of course shut it down.

I have a question. In modScripts, why do you call each of the subs things like "npcSc**ir**pt" rather than "npcSc**ri**pt"? Also, I don't believe that you meant to include and within the code.
-
Okay, well then it sounds like a really good Idea. I definitely think I'll try adding this to my game.
