Creating a custom game

With the unpackgame and packgame programs of the Wasteland Suite you can create you own custom game files for wasteland. This tutorial shows you some steps for creating a new game (If you want to call it a game...) from the ground up.

Step 1: Create skeleton game files
Step 2: Adding a simple print action
Step 3: Making squares impassable
Step 4: Making loot bags
Step 5: Creating transitions
Step 6: Checking for skills, attributes and items
Step 7: Creating dialogues
Step 8: Changing tiles
Step 9: Altering multiple squares
Step 10: Adding random encounters
Step 11: Adding fixed encounters
Step 12: Creating NPCs
Step 13: Adding a store

For further details I recommend you unpack the original game files and study them to learn how to do complicated stuff like the jeep on the world map or the train in Needles.
