4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	30 Alright. Let us start at the beginning. Many many years ago the dinosaurs roamed the planet. But then an asteroid, now most commonly known as "Bill Gates 1," crashed into the earth and wiped them all out, turning them into oil. The basic upshot of all that is with this oil we have created electricity which is now running the program.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	32 Before we start it is necessary to make a name for yourself. Why? Well, you wouldn't like to be going around with everybody knowing only as 'blankman' would you? To type in your name, go up to the top left window, and dragging down the "OpenRPG" menu bar press "Settings". in there you can alter your name and colours.
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	33
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	34 You can also rename yourself in a much more simple way by typing in the command "/name " and your name behind it in the chat window. I just made you go into the settings so that you know where they are later.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	38 Now that you have yourself labled, you are probably wondering "where's all the chat?" Well, my friend, we are here to answer that. As your program booted up, it should have brought up a four-window layout. The Gametree Window is in the top-left, the Player Window is the bottom-left, The Chat Window is the bottom-right, and the Map Window is the top-right. We will first concern outselves with getting that lower right window to do the work and play with the others later.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	40 To get the chat window to work, first we actually need a place to chat. To do this, we need to browse the list of rooms on what is known as the Tracker. To open the tracker window go to the menubar on the top and under the menu "Game Server" click on "Browse Tracker"

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	42 As you can see, a new window popped up. This is the Tracker Window. On the left you will see a list of various servers running OpenRPG online. Click on the one at the top of the list and press "Connect".
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	43
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	44 After pressing the "Connect" button you will join that server and be instantly dropped into it's lobby. Welcome to your first chatroom. Feel free to stay in this room as long as you like or move off to another room listed on the Tracker. When you first turned on OpenRPG the chat window filled up with all the different chat commands available. If you are like me and have forgotten them by now you can either click on the text display box and press PageUp or click on the little text entry box and type in "/help".
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	45
4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	46 Should you wish a way to scroll up instead of 'PageUp'ing you can increase the amount of lines the Chat Window stores by making the Buffer Size larger. You can do this by changing the "buffersize" setting in the Settings menu or by using /lines [number] replacing [number] with the number of lines.. A good setting is 100-200 lines though you can have it as large as you want (though it is warned against having it larger than 1000 as large numbers tend to increase lag.)

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	50 By now I'm sure you are also wondering what that status thingy in the bottom left window is. If you notice, every time you type a message in the chat window your status changes. And when you finish your msg (or sit for 5 seconds waiting) it changes back to Idle. What a clever invention. Of course, if you wish to set your own status to override "Idle" temporarily, just type in the chat window "/status My_Status"; replacing "My_Status" for whatever msg you wish (no more than 18 letters can be seen though).

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	52 As for now, spend some time and enjoy yourself in the lobby... we can come back to the tutorial when you are ready to learn about Rolling dice, whispering, and creating and using character sheets.</text>

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	60 I'm astonished. 82% of all people who use this program never bother to read the tutorial, let alone come back to it.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	62 Now, to get back to business. By now you've hopefully held a conversation with someone (or at least yourself) in our chatroom and now I'm sure you're wondering "How can I roll some dice so I can smite those foolish mortals." Well, don't be discouraged, because that is what I'm here for.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	64 To roll dice you have two options. you can simply press the button on the dice toolbar or you can type in how many times you wish to roll. As pressing buttons is mostly self explanitory, this part will only cover typing in dicerolls.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	66 The second way is a little more advanced, and powerful. You can also roll dice by typing them into your text intry box under the dice toolbar (where you type your normal chat messages). to do so, first choose how many dice you want to roll. example:

Add your message to the end of that and hit enter.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	153 Now comes the hardest part of the tutorial.. describing how to use miniatures (minis) and background images. Well, the first step is to bring up the map. Fortunately the new OpenRPG now loads maps differently than previous versions. Likewise, it no longer seems to cause crashes for Windows users. No longer will your client lag, lock up, or crash when loading images, large or small. The entire map will now load in the background while you continue with your normal activity with the program. Additionally, images, once loaded, will also be cached (stored) in RAM (up to 64; overflow is handled by randomly purging images within the cache to make room for new images). That means switching back and forth between maps, in the same session, will result in instantaneous access to your map; no more waiting. Furthermore, not only are your images loaded in the background, but they are loaded concurrently. That means your map will be available faster than ever! Hopefully these new innovations will lead to a renewed usage of the map. Even modem users have indicated that using maps are now fun again! Anyway, on with the tutorial.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	155 The Map Window is where most of your image viewing will reside. In it you can manipulate miniatures and maps to give your players a well good idea of what your gaming world looks like. In case you haven't guessed, it's the top-right window. Looking at the Map Window, you'll see all of the basic operations needed to load an image and edit the map. Let us attempt to load our first picture. At the bottom of the map window you'll see a large box where you can type in text. This is where you put the Web-page Address for the image you wish. Let's type in this URL/URI: http://www.openrpg.com/images/mins/amazon.gif. Notice that there are many great miniatures ready for you to use at OpenRPG's home-page.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	157 After you have typed it in press the "add miniature" button, sit back, and watch as it loads the beautiful amazonian woman (well, almost) into the map window. Please note, however, all images need to be on web-pages and served up by a web server... you cannot load directly from your hard drive. Well, you can, but no one else will be able to see it. The reason being is because OpenRPG's client actually one giant web browser.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	159 Feel free to move it about, get a feel for how it works. You'll see at the moment that the amazon seems to hop from grid square to grid square. Well... if you're like me, you don't like being confined to grids or rules. So let's get rid of that grid, shall we? Again, looking at the map window, you will see a little red diamond thing. They say it is a compass but it just looks like a flying fish to me. Anyway.. click on that and it will bring up all the map settings. In there you can change the size of the map, what color it is, or even load up a background on which all the mini's sit ((say, a dungeon map you drew or perhaps that picture of Britney Spears I know you have lying around)). The thing we are interested in the most, though, will be the grid settings at the bottom. As you can see, you can change the size of the grid and switch the grid from square(4 sided) to hex (6 sided). You'll also be able to let mini's either abide by the grid, or become free from the black lined prison. Let us turn off the "snap to grid" and press "apply". Also note that you can also make the grids disappear by making them match the background color, however, this is not the ideal way to do it as it still requires processing to draw and redraw the grid lines, even if they blend in without being visible.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	161 Now, go back into the map window and try moving your mini again. You'll see that it now moves freely, and ignores those lines. But ignoring them is not enough, did I hear you say? You want them gone? Ok. Let's go back into the settings (the red star button) and this time change the grid size to zero. Pressing 'apply' you will see that the grid has disappeared entirely from map. Course, if you want it back, just go put in the size again (50 is default). Feel free to make the grid size match your miniature and map scale. Also, if you prefer to have the snap to grid, however, do not feel that it provides enough resolution in miniature movement, feel free to set the grid size to half or one forth of what your actual scale is. This way, you miniatures will still fit nicely as well as be able to use the "snap to grid", however, you'll better be able to stagger your miniatures or slightly offset tiled map sets.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	166 Often, DM's and GM's have the need to present a map to their players, however, they do not which to reveal the whole map and/or map section to their players. After all, it does remove a lot of surprise if everything is right before the player's eyes. Enter three new miniature options: "Lock to back", "Lock to front", "Unlock Front/Back". Previous to these options being available, either the whole map had to be loaded by changing the background image or players and DM's where forced to struggle when map sections were loaded as if they were miniatures. Even though there was z-ordering options available, it was still tedious as miniatures would often disappear behind a map image. Now, entire maps can be built before as game and loaded all at once, without giving away any surprises.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	168 By loading all of your map sections together as miniatures and marking each one visible or not visible, you can have great fun again with your maps! Wait a minute, isn't this the same boat we were on before. Well, enter the three new options. Using the "Lock to back" option on each of your map sections, it will force them to always stay on the bottom of the z-order (stacking) of your miniatures. That means, you'll now be able to change the z-order of your miniatures while all of them stay on top of your map image. In other words, while the image is locked to the back of the z-order, it acts just like a background image should. To restore a miniature to normal z-ordering, simply using the "Unlock Front/Back" option and it will once again be ordered just as any other miniature is.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	170 Wait a minute! That's only two of the three options that you mentioned. Well, the third option allows for even more flexibility in what DM's and GM's can present to their players, even on a visible map section. Enter, the poor-man's fog-of-war. By creating a "mask" in just about any shape you like (feel free to use transparent colors on gifs as needed), you can effectively lock the "masking" image to the top of the z-order which will hide a section of your visible map. While this is still somewhat tedious, it will allow for much finer grain of control of what is and is not visible on your maps!

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	175 Directional markers have been a part of OpenRPG for some time now, however, there use is going to be better explained here. If you notice, each miniature has a "facing" and "heading" available to it. These serves not only to indicate a miniature's facing, but it's current direction of travel. After all, you're quite able to turn your head and talk to your buddy while walking in a direction different than the one your head is pointed. While this feature mostly serves board game players, RPGer's may find use in this too, especially when making canned maps. Imagine, the 'ol evil cleric behind the podium with his back to you. Now, you can make it clear on the map. Oh wait, the cleric's minions do not have their back to you, rather, they are standing to his side and looking directly at him. Closer look, and you see that the cleric too had his head turned to his minions in conversation. Again, this can be expressed on your map. Information like this makes it easier for the players to understand that the back-stab that they obviously want to do, won't be so easy to pull off. All this, without having to verbally describe every little detail. After all, isn't this what the maps is for? Enjoy!

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	180 Don't forget that you can save your hard work. Once you have built your map, be sure to right click on the map and hit "Save Map". When you need it again, just do "Load Map". You don't even need to delete the contents of the previous map. The client does all that for you! Don't forget, if you load a previously viewed image, the caching will considerable speed the rate at which it's visible to you and your players. Using a common set of miniatures helps to take advantage of this fact.

This can be useful if you ever needed to point out something to someone. To remove a line just right click on it and click remove, its as easy as that!

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	270 Character sheets are the wonderful inventions that allow us to hold all the information we want about our characters and gaming worlds. In OpenRPG they are made up of what we call "Nodes." These nodes are the building blocks for creating all manner of character sheets and can be rearranged into whatever form you wish.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	272 but to understand the nodes, we must first know how they work. This chapter is dedicated to explaining the function of each node. To get a new node, just find the one you want in the "Templates" tree and doubleclick on it. That will put a fresh blank one in the gametree at the top.</text>

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	385 So you wanna make a character sheet, huh? Well, follow these few short steps and you'll be on your way to Sheet Creation Godhood...or not. But don't blame me if you don't read this and can't make yourself a sheet. I'm going to guess you have a basic understanding of how the nodes work. I'll be using Harvester Incorporated(TM)'s Faction Wars(TM) as an example.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	387 First, you'll need a tabber. You can find it under containers in the templates node. Click the + to the left of templates then click the plus next to containers. Next double click the Create New Tabber. Got it? Good. Now, you'll need a form. Forms are what we use to create each page of the tabber. They hold the rest of the nodes neatly, and open up - unlike groups, which cannot be opened in a sheet. To create a form double click on Create New Form. You will notice two new nodes at the top of the game tree.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	392 Alright. Here is where I store the basics of the character. Since I don't like to scroll too much, I've broken down the information even more, so that I can fit into smaller tabbers and forms. First I'll create a second tabber. This will hold all the basic info - Level, Class, Player & Character name, and a few other things. Since I've got 8 things I want to list, I've broken them up into 2 seperate groups, which have been put into different forms: General Info, and Specific Info. For simple things like name and level, I suggest using single-line text boxes. I've gone ahead and made 8 of these, naming each of them one of my 8 items and stuck them into their forms. Now that I've finished that, I'll put the two forms under my second tabber, and put that into my big form, "General." I've done the same thing with the Attributes. Most of the sheet uses this principal, so I won't go into each form. Kinda redundant.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	397 Alright, for my second form, Vitals, I need some die-rollers. Since I don't need to change the rolls often, I've decided to use List Boxes to hold all my rolls. It's not too hard, and it's a really easy way to store rolls(It can be used for other things, but this is the best use I've found.): Now you don't have to type out those dice every time you wanna attack. First, I've created myself a List Box. Next, I'll decide how I want my list box to be shown: There are four choices. Drop Down, List Box, Radio Box, and Check List. Since I only need to roll one at a time, I've chosen Drop Down. But to show you how the Drop Down and Check List options work, I'll change things a bit and make a List Box and a Check List as well. When editing, make sure to click the "Send Button" box.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	402 The Drop Down is the least space- consuming of the List Box options. It's just like a single-line Text Box, except it holds more than one line. Click the arrow on the right to make it drop down, and click the die you want to roll. Then hit the Send button, and POOF! Your die has been rolled to the chat window.

Just keep on with the things you've done so far, and in no time you'll be on your way to creating great sheets! Most of sheet creation is your personal preference. If you ask Woody, he might say something completely different than I might. Of course, you should make the sheets the way you want them. This is just to get you started. After you've got the basics of sheet making down, you can play around with sheets and nodes and things until you've got the sheet perfect for you. GOOD LUCK!!

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	441 You can also find it in your start menu, right next to the OpenRPG program itself. Once you find it, (double)click on it.

Press "Y" and hit enter (won't get anyone if we don't know it exists). Next, it will prompt you for a name for your Server. Write in "Temporary Server" and press enter.

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	482 If you don't password protect a room you may get people wandering in looking for a game or just lurking watching your game. If you don't want them in there you should first let them know and ask them to leave. If they refuse your request then boot them. It is very rude to boot someone from a non passworded room with out warning.

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	484 Now that you have your custom built char sheet and you have talked enough players into starting a game, it's time to set up your own room. Let's bring up that Tracker window again ((under the Game Server menu)). Looking to the bottom left of it, you'll see a little box that allows you to type in your own room name and add a password if you like. Let's start a room called "Working on that darned fun tutorial" and not put a password up.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	486 as you see the room you create will be exactly the same as the lobby, so there is nothing to worry about. Lets load up our character sheet by right clicking on the "Game Tree" and pressing Insert file"

This can be done in one of three ways. The first way is to right click on it and send it to other players (provided there are any). This is how other players can get your sheet as they can't see it until you send it to them.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	490 The second way is to send it directly to the chat and let everyone see it there. go ahead and do that by right clicking on the char sheet and pressing "Send to Chat". Now everyone gets to see it as it appears on their text chat window.

4385a7d0efd1 Deleted and repushed it with the 'grumpy-goblin' branch. I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	492 the third option, Whisper to Player, is much the same as "Send to chat" only it sends it to a specific person or persons to see in their chat instead.

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	494 Of course, there sometimes comes a day when there is a little spammonkey running about. You know the type. Just keeps askin pointless questions, hitting you with the same text, and generally making himself a nuesance. Well fear not! We have added in a brand new feature that allows you to ignore those unscrupulous people. In the chat entry box just enter the command "/i player_ID#" and that will put a person on ignore (or toggle them back to un-ignore [you can also right click on the name and press toggle ignore]). To get a list of ID's who are on your ignore list, just type "/i" alone, with nothing else. You can even ignore/un-ignore multiple people at once, just put commas (( , )) between the names. And that's it. Ignore at your leasure.</text>

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	504 To start with, lets talk about logging To create a logfile, you can just press the disk button in the bottom right corner of the OpenRPG program, and choosing a name and place to save the file. Badaboom! a chatlog of everything you have seen is saved.

I forgot a y sirebral parents: diff changeset	506 Of course, most of you will want a way to have it automatically save a log each time it see's text. To do that, type in "/log to my_log" (replacing "my_log" for what you want to call the file). It should automatically start logging to that filename (and will include the date in the filename you gave it). if you want to turn it on or off later on, just type "/log on" or "/log off"
