Wait. If Tiles can be an arbitrary size, and tilesheets any number of columns wide, how does the engine know how big the tiles are?

2 more questions have come to mind while browsing the data folder: How do I make fog? and what is the purpose of the picture folder? also, I'm assuming tilesets are always 8 columns wide, correct?

Hey guys, I'm back! Did anyone miss me? Didn't think so, I doubt anyone still here remembers me… Anyway, nostalgia is not the point of this topic, this topic is firmly rooted in the present version of Eclipse. I've come back after a great long time to find much has changed. Some for the better, some for the worse. Its good to see that progress is now being made and updates are happening, but I do have a concern. Hearing that a previously open source project went closed source set alarm bells ringing. Has anyone chased up the licences for the versions above EO4 in the 'code tree' that is the long and colorful history of the Eclipse Engine to check compatibility? On a slightly lighter note, I'm starting a new game project, but can't find any info on the formats/layouts etc. for the art assets. I mean, I can see that they're all png files, but I have questions like; Can I make the tiles an arbitrary size? Can I make sprites an arbitrary size? How do autotiles actually work? What order do the frames come in on sprite sheets? and so on... Is there a handy-dandy "all you need to know about creating art assets for Eclipse" that I can send to my artist friend?

?!?!? how did he know that?

joe, by any chance did you make your pic thing over there

I wounder how many posts ive made? umm… err... ah,

right, im hoping most of you are familiar with a program called scratch, (those who aren't, google it.) and in ICT at school we are making our own games, and im trying to make a full RPG in it, and i have used some sprites from my Eclipse client files, and i know that theyre from RPGMXP, but i cant find the battelers for my battel system, so if i dont find them, my games no gonna look good, so has anyone got the battelers? (the sprites ive ripped are attached, so you can see which battelers are needed)

cool, ill try this at lunch tomorrow, if it doesnt work i caould always try sweet talking the network manager, im freinds with him

my sister has one like that, i thought about nicking it but it wouldnt fit in my room XD

the guy who gets frozen is obviously sora but that wouldnt make sence as killing sora would compleatly destroy the storyline of kingdom hearts, the blue haired guy is probably riku but that vid is just strange, is the game going to be called "birth by sleep" or "the keyblade wars"?

has anyone got a sprite sheet with farm animals on it (probably a big NPC sprite sheet). it would also be preferable if it had the monsters i currently have so i dont have to make a mess and spend ages alighning and merging the two sheets.

right, just checked with my dad (he's a computer technition) and he says your page file needs to be bigger that way your server will have more space to deal with the commands: * on your start menu, right click on my computer and go properties * click advanced and click settings under performance * click advanced and click change under virtural memory * at the bottom you will see minimum page file, total page file and recommended page file, you need to make shure your page file is bigger than recomended * click custom size and put an amount bigger than the recomended in the first box(about 1500 should normaly do it) * set the maximium size to about 1.5-2 times the minimum (about 3000 for me) * click OK on all open dialoug boxes and reboot your computer and you should be fine *I do not accsept responability for any undesired operation caused from following this guide, this guide is designed for windows XP i can not garunte compatability with Vista or windows 7

you need to understand how alot of servers handle this: even on a closed server, commans from you are sent, from your computer, uot to the router, then back again, this causes a lot of internet traffic on your LAN. the trouble is, on some routers there is a limit on how many packets can move through it per computer, (this is to stop one computer using all the bandwith)(packets are what data is sent across the internet in(as little bits of data with packaging on the outside)) when the limit is reached, the router stores the packets in the buffer so it can deal with them one at a time, but, when the buffer gets full, it overflows, data is lost, and so is your connection to the game. on some routers it is possible to raise or remove the ip packet cap, however, i have no experiance with your type of router so im afraid i cannot help you there EDIT: i am fairly shure it is correct, but i am going to have to check, will report later.

Right, now how many players do you have online typicaly when this happens?

*bump* seriously, i realy need this fixed or my game is gonna hve to get complicated!

packet flooding would indicate that the problem is not your server or client, but the bit inbetween, do you have a router?

here are the lyrics for just jack- the day i died Drag myself from my bed Around 20 past 6 Get my kids up make breakfast 1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix and as i sit down i look up and your standing in the doorway sun at your back in my old brown dressing gown Well no one can love you more than i love you now, but i Gotta go running for the bus Coat flying and i try not to miss it this time but the drivers waiting and that’s strange kids on the top deck quiet for a change and there’s no rain and no roadworks in the bus lane and all my hurts run away and im smiling as i’m punching in the day i died was the best day of my life the day i died was the best day of my life tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be alright the day i died was the best day of my life now the secretaries they got a smile for me and the in-tray on my desks almost empty I get a memo from executive joe saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out for embezzling funds from the company account and id be lying if i said i wasn’t chuffed cos i always hated rob and now they’ll probably offer me robs old job and in the park at lunch there’s no whinos on my favorite bench none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench and the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs decide to dive bomb from someone else’s sandwich instead and there’s something about the city today like all the colors conspire to overwhelm the grey and this close to the fire i can feel no cold but a rainbow halo around my soul the day i died was the best day of my life the day i died was the best day of my life tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be alright the day i died was the best day of my life so i leave work get to the high street and i miss my bus should i wait for another no i cant be arsed i begin to walk and rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea and i’m stopping at the offy 20 cigarettes and a 6 pack to relax me and as i cross back over the street i guess i never saw that taxi the day i died was the best day of my life the day i died was the best day of my life tell my friends and my kids and my wife everything will be alright the day i died was the best day of my life the game is to fix this song with new lyrics, then i'll choose the most hilarious and announce the winner, then i'll post a new set of lyrics and everything happens again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmkcwoomOco - the song
