I posted this to get an idea of what most of you people out there who view but nver answer think should be made into a plugin. First off, I think there shouild be a plugin (if possible) to make Garendall be an internet game. This would require major correspondence with Ambrosia to get a server running and if any of you administraters hear this, see if you can make an upodate that contains multipl;ayer abilities! Also I think there should be a plugin for Gidolan keep that allows you top raise the seige temporarily( say using the timer plugin to givce you ten minutes to go into the town) so you can enter gidolan keep.

Don't step on the ducks, they dont like it. -me

Well, that doesn't really describe me, but anyway...

Not possible, I'm afraid. Plugins only work within the framework of the game engine, and there's no engine support in Coldstone/PoG for internet/multiplayer play.

This, on the other hand, you could make into a plug. I'm not entirely certain what you might expect to do/find in such a place (after all, they've been fighting to survive every day you've been gone - I doubt they have much to spare to give to you), but it could be interesting nonetheless.

(edit - yay, simulpost!)

I don't know what I'm talking about.
Oh no, here comes another learning experience.

There was a topic on this a long, long time ago, but that was before a few plug-ins were released and previous to people playing around with Coldstone. I'd love to hear people's ideas.

Won't happen. Coldstone, which build PoG and is required to build plug-ins, does not have networking capabilities. I do not expect to see it in an update either. So no use talking about something that simply won't happen.

This is quite possible.

...eh eh...wimper I just looked over that FAQ page for creating a plugin that you linked me o strak ... this is gonna be even harder than what I expected....is there an extremly simple and extremly dumbed down version of a help guide that could help those of us who need it?? HELP!!

------------------

The (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=coldstone&category;=essentials&display;=date&file;=ColdstoneGameTutorial.sit")Coldstone Game Tutorial(/url) will hold your hand while you create your own game. I would suggest doing this first as it will get you familiar with how Coldstone works.

Once you are familiar with Coldstone I would suggest that you re-read the FAQ that I posted as it will be much clearer.

Then, if you still have questions, post them on the Coldstone web board and we'll give you a hand.

In a million years. Stark, your plugin 101 is tons better. I tried the CS tutorial, but I gave up and used your guide as it worked a lot better. I just kinda figured things out as I went along consulting the 101 (so much shorter than, "Creating a plug-in for Pillars of Garendall: 101") as needed. It has some of the greatest tips and it allows you to learn what you want without it being so complicated. All hail the 101. At least for me anyway, the 101 is the better tool (EDIT: even if it isn't public yet innocent hint).
