I tried to do three simple things for a plugin to PoG: make a bow, make a race, make a class. I won't even go into why none of them worked (I posted the problems but have had no replies) but the reason I couldn't get them to work in the first place is Coldstone itself.

It's not half the development environment of EV. ResEdit always does the same thing and the EV Bible was seldom lacking in detail. The game itself and all of the other plugins were the tutorials.

Think of it this way: in the time it takes you to learn Coldstone, you could go to a computer science class and learn something truely useful, such as the basics of C++. Do that and then you can really kick ass instead of being forced to limit your game ideas to somebody elses development environment.

Honestly, I'm disappointed. I waited months for CS. I should have just takrn a class.

If you feel possessed enough to e-mail me then use my real address that the bloody site wouldn't let me use which is the same as my name. Figure it out.

Consider these facts:

1. The things you are trying to do in Coldstone (and failing) have been done successfully by other people.
2. Coldstone has been out a very short time, although it is a comparitively easy development enviroment (as opposed to coding your own game), it does take some time to get used to.
3. To code an engine and an application with the complexity of Coldstone would take you several years, as the Beenox team has proven. Since I got the first copy of the beta, I learnt to use it to a sufficient level in about a month.

You don't like Coldstone, fair enough, but don't blame your iinability to make it work on Beenox or Ambrosia, and don't create flame topics on the boards owned by the people you're flamming.
