So hey yeah, names... actually nevermind my name.

im sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, i only recently joined the Forums. Though i have played CoC for Marae knows how long... To my understanding there wont be anymore major content added to CoC (not sure?)

But i wanted to ask if it was possible to add your own items.

im a huge fan of roleplaying and i love making my own fanfiction.

i wanted a "personal" armor for my male Fox-morph and perhaps a weapon.

omg! get to the point already... Sorry...

the process of adding mentioned items would be possible? and if yes would it be possible for someone like me?

i got basic HTML/CSS and Flash coding in order. i just need to be pointed at a few programs (hopefully free)

And no this isn't a request, i'd like to make them myself to that if i ever want to edit them or make more stuff i know exactly what i need :)

Thanks for reading!

Hypothetically yes.  Practically no.

CoC and TiTS are both developed using Adobe Flash, which comes on the order of a few hundred bucks.  I got it back when I was a student since they had a deal to make it much cheaper.

Coding-wise, developing a new weapon/armor for TiTS wouldn't be too tough, but CoC is a mess of spaghetti code.  You can do it if you can figure out where to look, but I wouldn't wish such an effort on anyone.

As for updates, CoC has one final update planned with a release date of sometime after Half-Life 3.  Don't hold your breath.  I would recommend looking into Fall of Eden for another good fantasy game, or TiTS if you enjoy sci-fi, as both games are in active development.

Eventualy you can speak with Kitteh about doing this things you meantion in his CoC Mod (then again it won't be main base version of COC but in mod to it).

Alright, thanks both of you! ill check out some flash coding solutions and ill take a look at FoE aswell. Though i dont see myself leaving Helia anytime soon ;)

ill try not to hold my breath regarding that final update haha ;D

though i got to ask, its been a while since i learned my basics. Was a student myself really. But the flash program we used was from Adobe, though i cant seem to find it anywhere. Only a professional edition. Would the pro edition suffice?

or to ask a whole new question, do you know what flash program was used to create CoC in the first place?

(oh god i sound like a complete noob... Sorry!)

You only need FlashDevelop to start coding away.

Although you might need Java installed to be able to compile builds.

Making a new item is as simple as copying and pasting one of the lines then change the properties.

If you want to change the look and feel of CoC, you might need Adobe Flash Pro.

might improve my coding anyway!

You'll improve your coding  with practice, as anything, but don't go looking into CoC expecting to see how things are done. If you try go code something else with knowledge gleaned from CoC you're in for a nightmare.
