I was in the middle of testing a lot of different things last time I played with this code (3-4 months ago), so it's not in the most readable of states right now. There are a few comments here and there, but the majority of them are debug code rather than useful information.

There are also .txt files in the data and scripts subdirectories with information regarding what the files do. The documentation is limited, but will give you a basic understanding if you'd like to edit how fast a player walks or something like that.

I'm sorry the project isn't in a better state for other people right now, but feel free to take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your interest!

I'm not sure if I'll ever go back and do anything with it, the code started getting pretty messy towards the end. Albeit very primitive and hacked together, there may be something that someone can take from looking at it.

I know the first thing every newbie programmer is told is that "RPGs are BAD ideas and you should NOT EVER try them as a first, second, or third project". Although I agree that no newbie is going create the latest and greatest, I think trying makes for an interesting experience. One can learn a lot from all of the issues encountered while attempting such a huge feat, although frustration levels are always high and sometimes the things learned may not be so great and may end up being retained as bad habits for years to come.

Note: Attempting to compile this project is most definitely not recommended as one would probably die of old age before they could do so successfully. The .exe is there, so feel free to play with what's in the scripts. The source code is included in case you would like to see how something is done, rather than allowing easy modification.

Let me know what ya think.

Interesting, no comments whatsoever. Uhh, I added a pretty picture?

Well it looks great, I haven't looked at the code because... Quite frankly their is quite a bit more than necessary I'm sure, by the way you put it that is. The game runs quite nicely and it looks pretty well done. I love the textures you used on the rocks, they remind me of an old MMO I used to play at a very young age... I forget the title but, very nice.

Thanks! Yeah, the code is far from anything you'd want to look at, but I suppose the data files might be of interest if you were bored enough to make you own object lol.

Yea I actually looked at those last night. Very nicely done... As far as I know that is. I don't use LUA yet... Haha but great job man!

I've had a quick look over this, although i don't have time to get into all the in's and out's of the code I do like wat you've done. Nice work man, i'll maybe come back and have a much longer look at it when i have the time.

Cool thanks. As this week and next are finals, I don't have much spare time right now, but I am in the process of rewriting a lot of it. I'll likely end up posting a new much cleaner version when I get the chance, but again it may not be for a while.
