Delphi RPG

**tronied** · 15-12-2002, 12:26 AM

I have posted my project on Bobby's Delphi RPG and received a few reply's. But I was basically wondering whether anyone was trying to do the same type game / app? If so, do they have a link... :?:

I am doing a RPG of my own, kinda like that, though i am trying to make it similar to The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past, and Graal.. Though that AOTA looks like Graal.. I am having trouble with the tile engine, i would have like 16x16 tiles.. But when i use 16x16 the framerate drops rapidly to a one digit number... So i have gone with 32x32 tlies for now.. Anyone have any ideas.. You RPG looks pretty good tronied.. It looks like you have put alot of work into it.

Do you draw the entire map or only the visible part ?!?

**tronied** · 26-12-2002, 06:18 PM

For mine I only draw what is visible and not the whole of the map... When I move in a direction the next set of images are then loaded and shown. I thought this would be too slow but seems to be working fine.

Yes, I am coding a Delphi RPG myself

Much like Ultima Online / Mir. There's loads to code and I don't expect to finish before 2005

Your game looks great! I only seem to have a low framerate here <= 11 (even without frame limiter

) on a P4 2667 Geforce 4, 512 MB.
We're developing an RPG as well

Ours is based on Zelda "Link to the Past". check http://cataclysm.servegame.com for more details!

Keep up the good work!

New-ish Detonator drivers have royally ****ed up DirectDraw performance -- to the point where I think that nVidia should have apologised and withdrawn the drivers. In most cases, DDraw performance is pretty much unusable. Try reverting to older drivers (30.82, if I remember the version number), which don't have this problem.

Of course, I took the simple solution and bought an ATi when I was due for my usual tired-of-computer-too-lame-to-play-games upgrade.

Speaking of nVidia drivers, I downloaded their most recent (43.45) WinXP drivers, but I had to revert to the previous version. Whenever I used the ID3DXLine interface in Direct3D9, the computer rebooted, which wasn't very convenient! Also, the IDirect3DDevice9::ColorFill method has not been implemented properly.
