Weren't you able to spam a bunch of attacks then wait, then spam a bunch of others?
Good point :'( I think only a few people understood the battle system well enough to abuse it that way (at least everyone I knew), though I suppose it could present a problem in Elmgon and unbalance the battle system.

well I personally wouldn't mind if this was possible, as long as it takes a short while to refill the stamina afterward ^^

After all, if you run like crazy for too long, it takes a bit longer to regain your stamina, right?

It kinda make things a bit more realistic ^^

That said, though, in Secret Of Mana, if you attacked, you did full damage but if you didn't wait until stamina refilled or if you tried attacking after running, your attacks barely did any damage

Interesting.  So what do you think of this:
You have 10 points of stamina.
Whenever you do not have a turn, you gain 1 point.
Whenever you are hit, you lose 1 point.
Basic moves take one stamina point, but complex moves can go up to all ten.
You cannot have negative stamina.
You must have enough stamina avalible to use a move.
When you "win" a battle your stamina goes back to ten.
Running costs two stamina, and dosn't refill because you never "won".

Sounds good.  I especially like the penalty for running, even though I tend to abuse running from battles in many games.

Note: I will have equiptment to let you raise this 10 or make the amount needed per move go down by one if the player wishes to use it.

Bah, why not running from battles? Leveling up is useless anyway :P

Only if your account is in director mode since 2006 and was never changed to anything else (like musician) since then. I did the mistake to change myself in late 07 and lost my ability to upload vids that long x.x

Back then the lack of a video lenght limit was pretty much useless though because videos could only be 100 MB max. Try to compress a 3 hours long video under 100 MB while still keeping a decent quality

If by large you mean longer than 10 minutes 59 seconds, then no. This limit has been put on any new director account since 2007. If yours is older you might be fine, though. The best way is to give it a try. Video size must be 1 GB or lower, though.

Yay!  I'm done with exams, so I can code again. 

I have been working on writing out the battle code on paper, and it's going to take a while...
I figured I could write it on paper faster than if I coded it because it's a lot easier to look back a page of paper than look up about 50 lines. :D

Yeah, its true ^^ I usualy don't code on paper though, for some reason.  I guess i just like the calc experieice :P Although some psedo code sometimes is in order for tricky bits.

Glad exams are over to ;D

Today I worked on writing this out on paper even more.  I'm up to 11 sides of paper in the battle code, and I've just finished chosing what move, and who it effects.  When you have 7*7=49 different ways moves can be used, it gets complicated. :)
I'm getting closer. :D
