F.A.Q

[Khachaturian]

Double posted so it'll appear in the 'New Replies to your posts'

Here ya go :

Another thing you should add, in this question :

> Q: My NPC's aren't talking.
> A: Make sure it has at least 1 in each stat.

You should also put 'And make sure they are set to 'friendly' because that could be frustrating.

More FAQ's :

Shops

> Q : What are shops and how do I use them?
> A : Shops are used to sell/buy items (Ex. Weapons, spells, food, etc)
>       For shops, after you make a new shop (Press F1, and edit a shop to your liking),
>       use a "Shop Attribute" in the Tile Attributes (map editor),
>    
>     Or use this script to make a Shopkeeper NPC
>     (I recommend reading through a couple of [tutorials](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=40748.0) (Preferably the top 5 and the bottom 2) before installing scripts
>  
> ```
> Call GoShopping(Index, ShopNum)
> ```And put it under the Scripted NPC's sub

And Iso

> Q : Is it possible to have ISO movement in my game?
> A : Yes it is possible, you can either
>       1\. Wait for 3.0, which will have a Z axis (Along with a X and Y axis) and ISO will be   
>           very possible if you know what you are doing.
>       2\. Use ISO graphics, like [Ambardia](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?board=208.0)

'Peaceful' games (Non-combat)

> Q : Does my game have to be based around combat and killing things?
> A : Not at all, you can base your game around whatevan you want, be it catching squirrels, or skydiving. To take the combat out of your game, you can edit the source using VB6 and take out a couple menus. (I'd recommend posting a topic in [Source Questions](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?board=93.0) to ask help with removing menus and stuff.

What do you mean..?

@Desiderium:

> What do you mean..?

There are afew questions, e.g. "The latest version of eclipse", etc.
Now since Eclipse Evolution 2.8 is out, the FAQ can be updated for that.
E.g. for spells, "If you are using Eclipse Evolution 2.7, upgrade to 2.8 or use this spell fix", etc.

[Drummerpete]

So I could put an asterisk next to a few of them and say:
"* = Fixed in [2.8](2.8)"?

Yea, I'm seeing these more and more.  Actually, I can probably locate a tutorial for most of them XD

[Drummerpete]

I'm sure most of them are on the tutorials, I REALLY wish people would read that.

[Biped Bob]

I created a spell. How do I apply it to character and how do I attack a npc? Thanks for helping a real noob.

You forgot to provide the answer to that question (if you're asking, in search of an answer, read the post above you).
