Action [TFS 1.X] Simple RPG: Forging/Crafting/Cooking following a recipe without Modal Windows

[Tenzhiro]

Crafting Stations
In my case a forging script, but you can change the anvil id to be something else.

As I never released anything, I decided to release this script I made with the help of my best friend Henk, known by some as ChatGBT, edited from an initial movement script to an action script by @Xikini so it allows for experience gain if you have additional skills setup.

What does it do?
It allows players to immersefully and in an old-school way to forge weapons and armor, or any item they want.
This can also be made into an upgrading system or cooking station, the sky is the limit.
I've made it with the concept of how easy "creating bread" in Tibia is and followed up on that.

You can configure a recipe that players can stack upon an Anvil,
upon using a Blacksmith Hammer on the Anvil, the materials will transform into the item configured.

I Will try this on my server. Seems like a cool and abit retro way of doing crafting

How do you present recipes for your players? Like, how would they know what the ingredients are for making any item?

I have NPC talk about material combinations, I have recipes written in books and scrolls to hint at items they may create.
There are more ways to implement a recipe, but having players figure out combinations themselves makes it more fun.
Although requires recipes that are somewhat logical in what materials they require.

Players will be making notes, perhaps in a book, can possibly even sell the information etc
Over time they will make a wiki and most items will be in the open, but it will be a community effort, not a system effort

You can use this script to make a Recipe Book based on storages gained!

Yes I like that idea. I'll figure I'll never get that amount of players to actually make a wiki for my game, but I like the idea of recipes and npcs that can help you out.

I also like the idea of having to use a recipe to make items for example so that the recipe is actually part of the ingredients, and that recipes can be looted by different bosses or mobs.
This I think will make it even harder to craft the really good and rare items.

And certain recipes can be bought. This I think will upkeep pricing Of items.

 

[Tenzhiro]

You could also make molds for equipment and weapon pieces, so you need a helmet mold to make a helmet etc.
Not really immersive as they will all be one-cast forgings but you could eventually expand on that and have molds that create parts, after that they have to tinker with those items at another crafting bench to create the eventually create the item, but that might be too many actions for the player

A good way to show recipes is:
Each recipe have a storage to amount of times crafted(to track, give rewards, give bonus), when the storage is > 0, show the recipe in the book, because u already crafted it and 'discovered' the recipe. Good job!

That I would love!
Great idea

Very nice! Thanks for sharing with everyone! I love systems that immerse the player! Well done!
