i want to make an rpg and want to know the skeleton of a damage formula, i'm not asking for you to make it.. I just want to know the basics
Also would some one explain an ini file to me?

A damage formula is basically just a set of variables like physical_damage or defense or damagemultplier, put through a series of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division (or other) steps.

A super oversimplified example would be

finaldamage=physical_damage*(1+(damagemultiplier/100))

then in some event you subtract that finaldamage from the enemies life

So in this case if your physical damage is 5 and your damage multiplier is 100, so the result will do 2x as much damage. Or 10 damage.

For ini files you can check out this:

SHEESH! You might as well move on to good games instead of taking a full tour de noob.

Oh, I'm currently working on a Lite-compatible Sonic Fangame Maker for people like you BTW:
