Oh yes, and after placing one item, you'll then have another route/path
opened up for reaching the sort of final distination, but it won't really
currently advertise this as such unless you review directions again in a
certain place, or just try travelling again.
Stay well

Subject: [Audyssey] Test version of RPG engine
If you want to try this out, and let me know if the python to executable
plugin has worked at all in making this an actual command line executable
for windows machines, you can download the following:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/mapData.zip
(roundabout 4Mb)
In there it would be best to currently run mapData.exe from an actual
command line since I see it sort of throws away the last, outro message if
you succeed on the quest as such, and while am busy putting in a way to
actually hide the contents of your mission's data files, you'll see that
there are some text files there that provide the information/background
for the whole (small) thing:
mapData.txt
mapDataObjects.txt
mapDataNPC.txt
While might try explaining the contents of those files a bit better later
on, there are sort of comments in there, that should make some sense, and
the primary initial thing I'd like to know/find out is if this executable
can run on many windows machines at all as such, since while it includes
the MS C runtimes needed for some things, I do have full versions of
visual studio.net installed on all my machines as such, so not 100% sure
what will happen on all machines, but anyway.
Also, haven't gotten around to trying to generate forms of executables for
other platforms as of yet, but let's see if even this will work for real
first.
The basic command set is the following, but you can also be prompted this
during game play by just typing in something like ? and hitting enter:
N, S, E, W, U and D - all directional commands - and last 2 are up and
down
T and P - take and put, followed by item/object name
C - communicate with an NPC - you'll be offered a list of possibles after
typing this and hitting enter
V - commit violence on an NPC - you'll be offered a list of possibles
after typing this and hitting enter
L - look or when combined with an item name, it gives you the details - if
you've already picked it up
X - exit
R - review travel directions available
H - review your health
I - review your inventory
Might have forgotten some as of now, and there might be various bugs in
this code, etc., but would still like to know if usable at all as such,
and only other trick is in a new location, you'll need to look for
something before knowing if it's there to take as such.
This is also just currently generating command line output, but on windows
anyway, I can also tell it to talk using some screenreaders, or sapi etc.
at some stage.
Lastly, there are 2 of the items you'll need to pick up and go and place
in other locations/areas to finish off this test mission - and that's as
far as will go for now...<smile>
