This is gonna be really helpful, thank you so much for writing it Gigi. Cant wait to see the second and third part of this tutorial. I'd like to suggest the usage of Iframe though, since it allows an NPC to 'speak' to you with a textbox shown on the same exploration page instead of opening a new one.

You have inspired me to take a stab at making a better explore feature!

@HoF- Never heard of IFrames :O I'll have to try that out sometime :usedusedused: Though I really should finish this first XD

@Elf-Thank you :meow:

@Other Peeps--ALMOST DONE! XD I just am doing a bit more work. NOTE: This code is LONG O.o Lol, I just hope I can explain it all properly XD Also note I love 'rand' Random is the best XD

Well Iframes are useful if you do not wish to direct users away from the current page after they click on an NPC. Here's an example of how Clover used Iframes on her pokemon fansite:

Also I wonder how you make it possible for users to click on an NPC to speak with them. Mind explaining a little bit more of this?

OMG That's cool :BIGO: I am definately going to check that out X3

Well for my original method it just lists out the characters in the current area. (you can also be a bit more stealthy with it than "Talk to ____" if you need to, I believe for one of my pages it describes the area and when there is something of interest there is a link on the object's name). If you use that Iframes thing I'd assume you either make links or an image map type thing. I got to work with it more XD

I'll throw up my explore area as an example when I finish it :smile: That may help out more :meow:

Please continue this!<3

umm I am afraid this is considered necro-posting? The OP hasnt visited this support forum for months, and its better for her to update this thread herself when she has a chance.

Oh, okay. ^^ Sorry about that then. I don't really pay attention to dates, not sure why.

First off, I LOVE this code, but I have a little bit of a question --

I tried to imput the whole code, and it wouldn't work, but I did not have an 'output to user' code in my actual file. Is this a problem, or would I have to add this to the actual code to get it to work?

I haven't been here for awhile so I don't know what's changed D: I assume that page has been removed?

Also I lost my files for this so I can't finish this D': Sorry!
