1. Since spells can call events, will there be an event type that lets you fiddle with the variables in the program, allowing you to make your own algorithm for the spell? For example, something like: "Damage = CastersMaxHP - CastersCurentHP" to make a spell that does more damage if you're wounded.

2. Will we be able to edit and/or add more elements in the game. For example in one of the previous Pics of the Day I saw it only allowing you to choose between something like Cold, Electrical, Heat, and Chemical damage for a spell, but what if we want to add more to our games like Water, Light, Darkness, Wind, etc.

3. Also, will we be able to edit the names of the stats and other stuff like that? (like if I want to change Stamina to Hit Points like it is in most RPGs)

Well, I am merely an unimportant user who doesn't know what he's talking about, but if I were to hazard a guess.....

1.) Don't have the foggiest idea. It seems like this might be possible, and it would definitely be nice, but somehow I doubt it. Hmm..., thinking more, I bet this is possible.

2.) I'm guessing that those actually don't matter all that much. I think you will be able to edit it by having those categories broken up into more categories. For example, it won't do you any good to have spells in a techno game, so I think that these are just representational.

3.) I'm sure that you can change what is displayed to the player of the game. It might be Stamina to you(while working in Coldstone), but I am almost certain you would be able to change it to "Hit Points" in your game.

Seeing as the big ol' bubble of glue answered 2) and 3) perfectly, I'll ponly do one.

1. Yep, easily doable, all you need to do is....that's right....create a right series of events.

Let's just hope that CSGE won't require too many events to do anything someone might want.

What I'd reaaallly like to know:

1. Is it possible to open another program from yours? Say I wanted to prep EV as a minigame for one of my CSGE creations; it'd be nice to do both that and also organize the plug-ins so that only the stuff you want in goes in. Imagine turning EV into a sort of Space Invaders just for the sake of a minigame for your CSGE RPG!

2. I dunno; might have covered it all or just forgot. How about screen res and tile size? It'd be cool to be able to set those to whatever you find best.

Its not really the question of COULD you do it, but if you are ALLOWED to do it. I don't think Ambrosia would like you using EV as a minigame, but then again, i'm not andrew.
