Hello, I'm fairly new to the ColdStone web board, so this is my shout-out to everyone. I've been a reader for quite awhile and the games you guys are working on look downright awesome.

Anyways, I'm trying to make a ColdStone game with a friend of mine. ColdStone's default battle system seems to be real time. Is there any way we can modify it to make turn-based battles? It'll flow with our storyline a little better. I've looked throughout the forum for similar questions but couldn't find anything. Any advice or references to tutorials I might have missed would be great. Thanks for your time!

About half way down is a guide on making a turn based game.

Hmm, I find it hard to believe that you couldn't find a similar question.

Yes, CatchTheFerret is new here. I don't think he found the search button in the top right corner of the page. I typed "turn based" in the search field and was rewarded with three pages of threads (about 100 topics) in which turn based is mentioned. The whole process took almost twenty seconds.

Ah, thanks a lot guys! Yeah, I completely missed the search option. But thanks for replying anyways! Wow, so many replies in just a few hours! Thanks again!

I'll try to contribute as much as I can to the board, once I learn Cold Stone and basic web board functions better, that is.

Welcome aboard. We didn't mean to pounce on you, but the forum has been a bit quiet recently as we all wait for news of the pending update. Don't hesitate to ask questions even if they seem like "stupid" ones, we're all fairly civil here.

The search feature will only give the first 200 references to a subject, so if it is a common topic, you may not get the latest information. It's still a fast way to do some research on whatever you want to know.

As RD say we are waiting for the update and have had nothing to do because

a. We have complained about every bug in CS (and trust me, there are a lot atm )
b. Nobody seems to be making a game as everyone has put their projects on hold until the update

PS I wanted to win :frown:

Sorry, but I disagree with you.

I have something to do. I'm doing quite a lot on my game every day.

See other thread. It's obvious that people are making games.

I agree! I too am working hard on my game (GOE). Especially now that Zerowarrior had teamed up with me.

While I am waiting for the update, I am always adding new things.
And there is always another PC problem to fix.

Oh, what I did in GOE is all the important boss fights are on separate small maps (20x15 I believe) which gives the "feel" of turn-based fight, even if it isn't.

Besides the aid I am giving in the few up and coming games, do not forget my personal projects as well. I look forwards to seeing what people have produced as well (hint to Deb and DP...)
We are all not waiting.

I know there were a few people making games but a lot of them were waiting for update ones. I'm gonna get started on the graphics for space as soon as I can get my hands on Strata CX
