I haven't really gotten any further with the program, because I kinda the need the BASICS.

Isn't there any thread that I could read, something like "Lazy Shell For Dummies", pretty much something for people who never done something like this before? I know I'm not someone who knows a lot in this stuff or is known very much by a higher member, but I'm wanting to create a game (a sequel to the game) and I'm wanting to create hundreds of new sprites that I would let you use in your games (you help me, I help you) so I would really appreciate your help.

No, I'm not one of those guys who say "I'll do this" and then after a week I'll give up, otherwise I wouldn't have been a website administrator for 3 years. Would have been 4 if I wouldn't have retired because of putting up with all the problems on the internet and dealing with the ones outside of the "virtual life".


All I'm asking you is to guide me to the right direction, so I can get started. ^^
The only experience I got, that comes a little close to using a program like this, is the RPGVX Maker, where I've used switches and had events in it, but all I had to do there was right click on a tile and add a character or event to it. The Lazy Shell program seems a lot bigger and works differently, so I'm kinda lost there.


Here's what I do know (thanks to you):
- Sprites/Images shouldn't contain more than 15 colors + transparent
- where to change a sprite or "mold" of a character.
- that you can export and import images (characters, levels, ...)
- that you can change the names of a few things (allies, levels)


Things I don't know:
- Everything else =/


What I'm wanting to make/have (my version of the game):
- Replace Mallow with my version of Valentina. (every image as 15 or less colors)
- Add Luigi (playable or just as a non-playable character)
- Add many non-playable characters from other games like Bombette.
- have new levels and new buildings like a fast food restaurant, mall
- I also want to add new bosses, enemies, and even a train
- minigames
- new emotions to playable and non-playable characters
- and much more


I know that I'm thinking pretty big for someone who doesn't even know how to use the program, but I don't care if it would take me more than a year to complete, as long as I know how. That's just the way I am. ^^

As much as I hate to say it, trial and error is probably going to teach you the most. I don't really have experience with Lazy Shell, though I have been a 'casual' hacker for several years now.

This thread may help to answer some of your questions.

Since I have a decent amount of free time at the moment, I may take a look at the editor later and see if there are any specific tasks I could help you with.

That would be really nice of you!^^
And I'll look at that thread and see if it'll help me further.

UPDATE: Okay, I've received help from another member of this community/forum and he showed me how you can place a character onto the map, so now I know one of these things that I just couldn't figure out. This was much simpler than I thought, I just didn't know where to look.

I guess now that I know that much, I might be able to learn more from the "how to" thread, but if I'll be able to understand them completely, is another thing. ^^
I may need to find out a few more things to understand what I'm searching for, for the other topics, that's why.
