I dont know where to post it so I post it here. I`m a bit new to these manager games so I`m going to make a game like Football Manager but it is Cross Country. And I need help with making a editor. Some tips where to start?
"Cross Country"?
As in cross country running? Or show jumping (equestrian)? Or rally driving? Or skiing? Or cycling?
Anyway, regarding the editor -
You're almost certainly going to want to store all the data in an array.
I would suggest you create a big Excel spreadsheet with all your data, and then convert it to an array using my MMF2 Array Editor.
As always, if you want a more specific/detailed answer, you need to ask a more specific/detailed question.
If you consider football, each player has a wide variety of skills - shooting, running, heading etc, which can be improved by coaching.
It's a team game, so you can adjust formations, trade players, and develop young talent.
It's big business, so you can manage club finances and facilities.
Now looking at cross-country skiing, it's an individual sport, so there are no team formations/tactics, no trading of players, etc.
The variety of skills used by a skiier is very limited - it's about 80% endurance, 20% general technique.
There's very little financial management involved - maybe a little sponsorship, but that's it (you won't be building a new stadium or anything like that).
I just doing see how it's going to translate to a fun gaming experience.
If you were making skijoring or dog-sledding game fine - I could see how that might work. You could breed/train teams of huskies, and you'd have to carefully choose whether they should be lead dogs, wheel dogs, etc; and make sure each is running next to a dog with matching personality, etc.
You may have guessed from my avatar that I like Huskies
