DEMO!!

Well guys, it's finally here. A demo. It's got a bit left to do before its the official first demo version, but not much... Just gotta fix the bug in the last round.

Well, since I KNOW you people will have some troubles here at first, heres a walkthrough of what you do:

Download the program, and extract to a folder like C:\MagicRPG. Open C:\MagicRPG in Windows Explorer, and run BR.exe.

Now, the actual game is open. So, since this is your first time playing, type '2' (without the quotes) to create a new character. If you already made a character, you would type '1' (Again, without quotes.)

You are now asked to specify your game type. Only working one is Battle Royale, so go with typing '1'... (Again, and from now on, without quotes.)

Type '4' for four players (battle royale does not support 2 players, YET).

Read the warning.

Type a username for player 1.
Type a sex (gender) for player 1.

Type a username for player 2.
Type a sex for player 2.

Type a username for player 3.
Type a sex for player 3.

Type a username for player 4.
Type a sex for player 3.

Type a race (one of: Human, Orc, Elf, Dwarf... Will be many more in final release) for player one.
Type a weapon (one of: Rusted Dagger, Wooden Sword, Broken Axe... Only the starter weapons) for player one.

Type a race (one of: Human, Orc, Elf, Dwarf... Will be many more in final release) for player two.
Type a weapon (one of: Rusted Dagger, Wooden Sword, Broken Axe... Only the starter weapons) for player two.

Type a race (one of: Human, Orc, Elf, Dwarf... Will be many more in final release) for player three.
Type a weapon (one of: Rusted Dagger, Wooden Sword, Broken Axe... Only the starter weapons) for player three.

Type a race (one of: Human, Orc, Elf, Dwarf... Will be many more in final release) for player four.
Type a weapon (one of: Rusted Dagger, Wooden Sword, Broken Axe... Only the starter weapons) for player four.

Type a savename. This is where ALL the data is loaded from, so make sure you remember it... If you type Bki56T, when you go to load, you must type 'Bki56T' exactly. After you hit enter to continue, it auto-loads the file.

It now displays all the characters information, 1 by 1. Hit enter to switch to the next character.

Let the Battles Begin!

Now you see the battle tree. The upper left is Round1, the upper right is Round1_b. Each row under this is Round2, 3, 4, and 5 in order. Hit enter.

Now, it asks if you wish to change your weapon. IF you have unlocked another weapon, (Impossible right now :P) then this DOES work, but if you do it now, it won't work properly. You can try, if you wish. Type 'n' for no, or 'y' for yes... Or just hit enter for no.

Now, this is the battle setup. The stats of characters are posted in the top.

Each option in this list gives you certain effects..
typing '1' will make your character attack a player with the equipped weapon. You cannot target any character except for the ones listed in the box on the next page, so hit enter to target your opponent. (There is ONE exeption, when you are player 2 or 3 vs player 4 and it ONLY displays player 4 as an attack option. You can still target player 2 or 3, but if you are player 2 or 3, it still won't attack. This is a bug I haven't figured out yet...)

Ok, so now you typed '1', and you see a confusing list of opponents. It says:
Player 1: DarknessX
Player 2: Demonkid
Player 3: MtR
Player 4: Death3464

Those are the character names... See the numbers next to them? Type that to target your opponent. '1' would attack DarknessX, while '3' would attack MtR.

Now, you hit enter, and it shows your damage, and all that junk... Read it up, hit enter, and now it's the next players turn.

Again, weapon equip screen. Same deal.

Type '2' to attack with magic. Atm, there is only 1 spell, but you can use it.

Now, you do the same here to target your opponent, but the new stuff comes next. Hit enter.

Whew! What spell should we cast? Let's see... 'fireball' works charms! You hit enter, and again, your told the damage and such... Make sure its exactly 'fireball' and not 'Fireball' or 'FireBall' or etc...

Equip screen.. Same Deal.

Type '3' to meditate. Wow! Your HP just went up by 10. In the future, what you get from meditating will be MUCH different. Hit enter...

Same old, same old.

Type '4'. You can now take the one and only potion, 'health'. Your HP increases by 10 when you use this.

Type '5'. You do nothing. In the future, you will be able to use a special ability like Steal, Run, Hide, Ambush, etc...

Complete the battle, and suddenly you get the round display screen again.
Go through it again, and once you get to round 3, you notice something different... The players who LOST are fighting now!

Well, how it works, is round 4 pits the winner of round 2 & 3 vs each other... But sadly, a bug in the game prevents you from making round 5 to see the winner. You will see what I mean when you get there :P

Anyways, have fun. I will fix the rest of the bugs tomorrow, and release a better version tomorrow.
