levels aren't a problem

weapons aren't the only items, and I would make sure that weapons can't be to powerfull.

I knew I forgot about a few things 
Quote: -The creation of new areas
-The creation of new monsters
-The creation of new items, though limited by a "point" system ie a weapon cannot have a huge damage output and a high chance to hit without a nearly-impossible level requirement
-The creation of new spells, though each feature added to the spell increases mana cost and level requirement (believe me, you won't know how popular this might be)
-The creation of new NPC's
-The creation of new quests (will be hard to put in, but worth it)
thanks for the idea's

I don't think it is possible in basic, but I will be using celtic from Iambian for this
DarkerLine wrote: I believe that anything you can in theory make customizable, you should because it will, in addition to making it easy to tweak around the game, force your game to "soft-code" all the data - that is, to use some sort of data structure for the enemies/weapons/spells, rather than putting the data in the code.
(That might be the way you're doing it already, I haven't looked at the code - if so, congratulations)
[post="99449"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]
I don't know if I will make everything customizable, because some things are already programmed in and will take a lot of modding to make it customizable.
and how will soft code all the data be a plus
things I am thinking of including in the level editor:
area's
npc's
animated ascii cutscenes
monsters
bosses
spells
items to be used in the item combo system (don't confuse this with healing items, there is a (small) difference)
item combinations
weapons
armours
misc items (keys, map, spell book, ...)
this is the current list (unless I forgot something). if anybody has something to add, then please post it.
