HELP!

Where can I find a step by step Guide to making plugins?

This is not a step-by-step tutorial, but it can help : POG DEV TOOL

But... isn't there a tutorial furnished with the game ? Or is it only a game tutorial ? Hm... I don't remember... you should try'n see...

Right here on this forum. You write the questions, we'll supply the answers.

Actually, there is a tutorial in the folder named "Docs" inside the Coldstone folder. I'll assume that the plugin is for PoG because there aren't too many other CS games out there to make plugins for.

All the elements you need for a plugin are the same as for a game except you do not need the opening screen. You will probably need to create NPCs, items, events, locations, and maps. To start, select "Create new game...." from the file menu. When you get to the step where you select "Plugin" as the type of game, you will have to locate the plugin data in the original game. Give you plugin a name and you are ready to start creating.

Make an event which places the characters, stamps, items, etc. that you need in the map where you want the plugin to start. When your event is done, save it and find Plugin -> Loadcalls in the Project menu. Make a loadcall for the map you are altering which activates the event you just created. Now when the player enters that map, the changes you have made will appear in that map. That's basically all there is to it. Good luck with it.

can I have step by step instructions on making a new class/race ? :huh:

If you don't know how to make a simple one-NPC plugin then (no offence) making a new class/race is waaaayyyyyyy over your head. Sorry.

People learn, dear.

I'd help you, but I've never done a plug-in.

1. Create a new class or race

2. Compile

Simple enough.

Try this if you want to create a class/race for PoG.

I believe you asked this question at least twice before... is it your memory that is bad or is it mine? <_<

EV Nova was not made with Coldstone so Coldstone cannot make an addon for EV Nova. Directions for making EV Nova addon files have been given several times on the EV Nova forum so I suggest you either search there or ask the question of those who know the program.

Coldstone is designed to create new games or produce plugins for games made with Coldstone if the creator of the game enabled plugin development. It won't do anything for sombody else's game. Sorry 'bout that.
