Uh, it's pretty complicated. To start, you'll probably want pixel accurate movement, which means the default entity system is right out. Then you'll need to code your own follower/fighting AI for the enemies, probably your own animation system, and do this all in real time.

It's hardly impossible, but I think you need to get a good feel for VERGE before you try something like this. You might try checking the battle systems on www.vergesource.com though, I think they might have a Zelda-type system that you could study/modify for your game.

Did you ever played Tales of destiny? This is another type of battle system that some people hould look at. If you played, then is it as hard? =P

What is the battle engine?

Yeah, i think thats it.
I'll make a turn basen system for now, and try something else later..I'm so newbie in coding..

By the way, i have lotsa questions:
First of all, putting an image(company logo) in the beginning, i tried something with image and wait, but it didnt work *sob sob*

Second, i have a 16x16 char and it seems like he is standing on top of each tile, i dont know if you understand what i mean. If hes standing in a door frame, it will look like he was on top of it.

Finally, music =). I wanted to know if you knew a good program to make these easily.

Thanks in advance, even if you dont reply =P

That doesn't work because VERGE refreshes the screen during the wait function. It's only meant to pause the action in the game itself. To put a logo on the screen you need to set up a small rendering loop.

void LogoDisplay(string logo, int span)
{
int k, img;

img=LoadImage(logo);

timer=0;
k=span;
while (k>0)
{
while (timer)
{
k--;
timer--;
}
CopySprite(0,0, 320, 240, img);
ShowPage();
}
timer=0;
free(img);
}

Therefor:

LogoDisplay("mylogo.pcx", 400);
would display the contents of mylogo.pcx (which if it isn't 320x240, be sure to change the code to match.) for four seconds.

Alternately, you could just do SetRString("R"); first, which should prevent the screen from refreshing. Just make sure you set it back to whatever it was afterwards so that your map can render. I wouldn't recomend that, though. It's the cheap way out, and it'll only cause you trouble later on.

I know about the renderstring, its not what i meant.
What i meant is that the character is standing on the first pixel on top of the tile:
_______
| (oo) |
|=( )= |
| ||| |
-------- normally it looks like this(well..kinda)

(oo)
=( )=
|--|||--|
| |
|_______| thats where my char is

Sorry for the awful ascii =)

Thanks,
Daman

Whoah!? I don't really understand what you're trying to say/draw. What size is the chr, and what program do you use? If you wanted to get a screen shot, that would help too.
