Welcome to an exciting new program where you can play, modify and
make your own Animated Graphical Adventure games.
Questmaker is a program that allows you to create your own
adventure games using the QuestMaker editors in conjunction with a
graphics editor like PC PaintBrush (TM) for the creation of
graphic screens with a .PCX format. QuestMaker requires an EGA
or VGA graphics adapter and monitor. It is recommended that you
have an 8 MHz 80286 processor or better and a hard disk drive.
Installation
------------
To install QuestMaker Version 2.1 make a directory named QM21 and
copy all files from this diskette to that Directory. Alternatively
type "Install" at the A> prompt to have the program installed on
your "C" drive in a directory named QM21. In most cases you will
have received QuestMaker in a compressed format. If your program
is name QMKR21.EXE, it is a self-extracting program. If your program
is named QMKR21.ZIP you will need a tool to UnZIP the files. Check
your local BBS for an UnZipping Program.
NEW FOR VERSION 2.1
-------------------
QuestMaker Version 2.1 contains major changes and improvements.
These changes are a result of feedback from developers like you.
* New game character with improved animation, and color control.
* New screen mode 640 x 200 16 color for smaller graphic files and
faster screen routines.
* QuestMaker Runtime Program is now included free with Version 2.1
Allows for unlimited royality free game distribution for
registered users.
* You no longer need to press space bar for game player input.
* Esc Key can now be used for Game Quit during game play.
* Tab Key now brings up Inventory List (like other game programs).
* Larger text font for easy to read game player scripts.
* Unlimited number of text scripts presented for each game player
response. This makes use of a new Op-Code (Hazard Code) 90.
* Entry Positions L R T B for more control over where the game
character enters a screen. This allows for faster game
development because you no longer have to match graphics screens
to each other.
* ZAP Function added so game character dies when it comes in
contact. This gives your game more challange. This function
makes a sound then shows the game character down and finally
jumps to game end.
* Added second level of scoring with Quantum Points function. The
word "Quantums" can be changed by the game developer to be any
name. Examples; Bucks, Stones, Strength, Lives, or Skill.
Quantums can be used during the game to exchange for objects,
information, or more points. It all depends on how you want to
develope your game.
* ZIP Function added so game player scores a Quantum Point when
game character comes in contact with a specified area. This
arcade like function makes a sound and color change if desired.
* Common graphic screen - ability to use same graphic over and
over. This comes in handy when you are making a game where you
may want to make a scene that is used many times (like an empty
room) but you do not want to waste a screen number (A real space
saver).
* Game objects are now placed by Row and Column numbers instead of
X and Y coordinates for more accurate positioning.
* Improved game player usability. Added Esc function to game save
and game restore.
* Online Tutorial - sample game is now an online tutorial showing
an example of each Hazard or Operation code. This makes it
easier to understand how QuestMaker works. Simplified graphics
show the use of bounderies, barriers, and walk behind areas.
* Improved Game developer feedback for errors with more online
help.
