[pygame] RPG Quest System
Hi guys, I've done some simple small games with PyGame, and decided to move on to a little fun RPG zelda-like game. I managed to make a little tile scrolling engine, dialog and ugly interfaces, spells, itens (still under work), etc.. etc... What I really am worried about is the, not sure what to call, quest system. I can't think of a simple way of making a scenario, some things that the hero have to do before advancing... Becouse, you know, this is pretty huge. The quest that the hero is doing at the moment decides the dialogs of the npc's, closed gates, etc etc... I'm thinking about making like a scripting language to describe all those things, but I can't think of any way to include this in the game... It's just something so... general. Anyway, some of you must already have done something similar, so I wanna hear your toughts about this =) Ways of designing the codes, some ideas about the quest system, is the scripting language the right way of doing it, etc... Hope i've been clear... Feel free to ask anything. The game will be available at the PyGame wiki as soons as it is playable. Thank you already, Giuliano Vilela.

RE: [pygame] RPG Quest System
Or you could write a quest system in ruby, build it with an XMLRPC service, then write a Python interface that connects to it, pulls out a quest and converts it to a Lua script! ;) Seriously though, Yeah, Python is ideal for scripting an RPG quest system. Something I learnt from completely innocent *cough* private WoW servers is that they just have pretty much a plain text file delimited by newlines that they load into the server at runtime (You could do something similar by either using the plain ConfigParser builtin, or extend it to suit your needs a bit better). Another solution would be to use an ORM library like SQLAlchemy. If you used it with SQLite, you wouldn't even need to worry about making remote db connections, and the functionality of the ORM would make it less of a chore to construct some sort of interface to CRUD quests in and out of the db file without the hassle of making them fit in a raw, delimited file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Hassey Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 10:57 To: pygame-users@seul.org Subject: Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System Hey, Use python for your scripting language.

I have some experience with this sort of thing. You will want scripting of course, but I think what you are looking for is a way to organize the information about what missions you have already done, and what you still need to do. The simplest way to do this is to store a named list of true/false values. They can all default to False, and you can switch them to True when you complete missions. Maybe something like... quest[Killed the Dragon] = False quest[Learned the Wizard's secret weakness] = False quest[Stepped on the Butterfly in the Garden of Time] = False There are a lot of different ways you could implement this, but the idea is the same. you want an organized collection of information about what you have and have not done yet. Then if quest[Killed the Dragon]==True the dragon doesn't appear on the map any more. Stuff like that. --- James Paige

I've got NPCs that walk around on a big tile-base map, you can talk to them and read signs, I've got a basic map editor too. my problem as of late has been coming up with a way to script the NPCs and Quests.

Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System
There are a lot of different ways you could implement this, but the idea is the same. you want an organized collection of information about what you have and have not done yet. Then if quest[Killed the Dragon]==True the dragon doesn't appear on the map any more. Stuff like that. I want something among those lines!! But not just a collection of information, I guess it would be more like a way to make my own classes behave differently according to the information in the script, just as some of you guys described in the messages. I guess i'll be implementing small actions one by one, untill I have a base of actions that can describe the game situation. I'm working on a similar project, but I'm sort of modelling it after the Dragon Warrior series. I'm at about the same point as you are.

Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System
The closest thing I've found is the pyweek3 example that Phil posted here earlier, I've been looking over it for a couple of hours now, trying to figure out how the state engine works and how i can use it to load map information. it looks like each map should be implemented like the Rooms in that example, being __import__'ed like that. i'll be honest though, alot of that code is over my head.

gates, etc etc... I'm thinking about making like a scripting
language to describe all those things, but I can't think of
any way to include this in the game... It's just something
so... general.
Anyway, some of you must already have done something similar,
so I wanna hear your toughts about this =) Ways of designing
the codes, some ideas about the quest system, is the
scripting language the right way of doing it, etc...
Hope i've been clear... Feel free to ask anything. The game
will be available at the PyGame wiki as soons as it is
playable.
Thank you already,

I downloaded the files from the above address, but something seems a
little kooky to me. When I ran setup.py, I got this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] trunk $ ./setup.py
./setup.py: line 1: from: command not found
./setup.py: line 2: try:: command not found
./setup.py: line 4: except:: command not found
./setup.py: line 5: pass: command not found
./setup.py: line 13: data: command not found
./setup.py: line 14: *.txt,: command not found
./setup.py: line 15: data/*,: No such file or directory
./setup.py: line 16: ]: command not found
./setup.py: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./setup.py: line 18: `for d in glob.glob('data/*'):'
Why would it trip over the 'from' keyword? I opened setup.py up in vim
and from is syntactically coloured, so it should be a valid keyword.
I'm running Gentoo Linux. I'm going to try remerging python

Re: [pygame] RPG Quest System
I can see what i'm going to code now =). Just have to change the map descripting to xml for easier parsing porpuses and i'll begin... But now I can see Phil's point... I looked at the library ref for the exec and __import__ functions (guess i'll use those) but i'm not sure if I can (should) allow someone to put an arbritary python code in my app, that would be too 'risky'. Sure I could manipulate the globals and locals, but still i'm not sure... The subclasses idea for the scripting sounds very, very nice =) On 7/3/07, Greg Ewing [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Giuliano Vilela wrote: I'm thinking about making like a scripting language to describe all those things You've already got a scripting language -- it's called Python!
