Yes, one of the four tools which appear in the map editor when you click on "characters" allows you to change the orientation of the character (it is bottom-right tool).
- can you tell a npc (or the player character) to do an animation? (lets say you want an item called berserk to do something, but when its used, the player does an attack animation)
You can change the player's image on screen; thus, if you make a stand-alone animation which only attacks, and put at the last frame of the animation the instruction to execute a script which changes the player's icon back to the standard one, you're done; I do not know whether you must specify all the possible attack directions, and whether the correct attack (i.e., depending on the direction the player is facing to) will be played. If you want to change the animation of an NPC, it is more troublesome: you should probably change the whole NPC, but this is a nightmare if you do not know where it is...
- Can you change the default attack/talk button?
The key you have to press to attack/interact? I think not.
- whats the difference between name and picture in stamp control?
The name is the one you give to that particular stamp, and then use to "remove" it. Say you placed a bridge stamp (which has a long "picture" name, since is its path on the HD, and refers to the image to be shown when the stamp is placed) named "bridge"; in this way the coordinates of the stamp are (internally) associated to the name bridge, so that when you want to remove it, you can simply remove "bridge" (and not the stamp placed at (X,Y) coordinates).
Hope this helps,
