A few in-game questions

[atticus]

so, I made a shop in my game…. but I dont have money on my account..
how can I put money in my (and a new characters) account?

another question I have is:
is there a way to make your person walk, attack and do other actions with your mouse?
(like runescape, where you right click and can pick up or attack players)

one last thing..
is there a way to make a "mini-quest" kind like
go in order to a store, talk to the store clerk, go grab an item (With out being able to leave the store),
go back to the store clerk, pay for what you grabed, and THEN be able to leave?

if so, can I get an example of how this is done?
ill keep searching the forums to see if I can figure this out.. but if you can answer it before I find it,
that would be awesome..
thanks =]

**EDIT**
i forgot.. is there a way to add MORE sprites, items, arrmor..etc. into the game?

I know the answer to your last question!
you simply just add them into your files in the GFX folder which is in the client folder. Wow, I made that complicated. Well, I think the items, weapons, and whatnot have to be 34x34? Or was it 32x32? Someone correct if I'm wrong on both.

[atticus]

so.. all i have to do is get a spead sheet of items.. and size them to 34X34 (or 32X32) and put it in the folder?
do i have to make ALL the items like that? or just the picture that has all the items?

[MrHappySmore]

Well, the sheet of items is already there. There should be empty white boxes in your Items.bmp. That's where you put your new items, mostly all the time.

[atticus]

thanks! now i just need to figure out how to put money in my account

[Gwen]

well currency has to be item #1 i believe

[MrHappySmore]

I don't think it has to be #1 I think you just have to make currency, and that's it.

[Gwen]

it used to have to be #1

[MrHappySmore]

Yeah, back then. Not anymore I don't think.

[lollicat]

Nope, I just tried it. Currency worked fine as #5 and #8\. :3

[atticus]

ok.. so what do i do?
go into a folder and put currency as 5? or anything i want it to be? and
how can i collect money?

Example: you stumble apon some gold on the ground..
do you just click CTRL to grab it?

The best way to do this, is create a new item, have it's item type "currency", then have NPCs drop this currency when you kill them.
Check this tutorial: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,48098.0.html
There is a script for "starting items" (afew, actually) in the http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,78.0.html also.

This requires editing the source code; you'll need a copy of Visual Basic 6, and depending on what version of Eclipse you're using, this tutorial: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,28833.0.html

For quests, you'll need to script them yourself.
Ideally, this means learning how to program in sadscript (which I highly recommend you learn); there are already pre-made quest scripts (a moderate amount) in the http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,78.0.html (there are also some "quest maker" programs, but they aren't the greatest, and without a basic knowledge of SadScript, you'll have some problems with them).
As for learning to script, I'd recommend checking the http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,70.0.html as it really is easy to learn sadscript.
Here are some tutorials that can help you greatly:
