@Zonova: > Almost every person that is going to play your game would be from the Eclipse community. They're going to get there first impressions from the screen-shots and the download link. Like i said, you're going to want to change the website into something professional later, but only once you've made your game professional first. Nobody is playing your website, it's the game that they want to experience. > > Though, Stephan's advice applies to almost everywhere else, i don't personally think that it's right in this situation.~ With a mindset like that your game will never get off the ground. And learning at least basic website design is always worth it. Almost every business today has some sort of website, it may save or make you some money in the future. Any skill that you can learn, that the majority of the public does not know has great penitential for making you money. @SeeingBlue: > Easier than setting up a webpage from scratch is to go into the control panel of your webhosting & sometimes they will have premade content managing software like fantastico or Simple Scripts that you can have them install for you. Then all you have to do is populate it with content. No.

Yeah open up photoshop and pretty much make what you want your site to look like, make sure all the different pieces are on separate layers. And for the coding I wouldn't use just straight notepad, I would use something like Notepad++, it's free.

I did some digging on the forum and found this quote @Robin: > It'll only drag the items/skills if your mouse is hovering over one. If the 'IsInvItem' check is returned negative, simply call the drag system instead. So i need to insert the drag codes in the following Subs where the IsInvItem is returned negative, but im not sure where that is ``` Private Sub picInventory_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Dim InvNum As Long ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler InvNum = IsInvItem(X, Y) If Button = 1 Then If InvNum 0 Then If InTrade > 0 Then Exit Sub If InBank Or InShop Then Exit Sub DragInvSlotNum = InvNum End If ElseIf Button = 2 Then If Not InBank And Not InShop And Not InTrade > 0 Then If InvNum 0 Then If Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, InvNum)).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Then If GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, InvNum) > 0 Then CurrencyMenu = 1 ' drop lblCurrency.Caption = "How many do you want to drop?" tmpCurrencyItem = InvNum txtCurrency.text = vbNullString picCurrency.Visible = True txtCurrency.SetFocus End If Else Call SendDropItem(InvNum, 0) End If End If End If End If SetFocusOnChat ' Error handler Exit Sub errorhandler: HandleError "picInventory_MouseDown", "frmMain", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext Err.Clear Exit Sub End Sub ``` ``` Private Sub picInventory_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Dim InvNum As Long Dim i As Long ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler InvX = X InvY = Y If DragInvSlotNum > 0 Then If InTrade > 0 Then Exit Sub If InBank Or InShop Then Exit Sub Call BltInventoryItem(X + picInventory.Left, Y + picInventory.top) Else InvNum = IsInvItem(X, Y) If InvNum 0 Then ' exit out if we're offering that item If InTrade Then For i = 1 To MAX_INV If TradeYourOffer(i).num = InvNum Then ' is currency? If Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, TradeYourOffer(i).num)).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Then ' only exit out if we're offering all of it If TradeYourOffer(i).Value = GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, TradeYourOffer(i).num) Then Exit Sub End If Else Exit Sub End If End If Next End If X = X + picInventory.Left - picItemDesc.width - 1 Y = Y + picInventory.top - picItemDesc.height - 1 UpdateDescWindow GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, InvNum), X, Y LastItemDesc = GetPlayerInvItemNum(MyIndex, InvNum) ' set it so you don't re-set values Exit Sub End If End If picItemDesc.Visible = False LastItemDesc = 0 ' no item was last loaded ' Error handler Exit Sub errorhandler: HandleError "picInventory_MouseMove", "frmMain", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext Err.Clear Exit Sub End Sub ```

Yeah I agree its way to big try reducing the size of things.

Robin's a jewish mexican super hero now? I thought he was just a homosexual brit programmer.

@Grizzy: > Why do u encourage that and what about Dreamweaver CS4? I've use dreamweaver before, it's not bad, I'ts abot the same as Expression Web. And yeah knowing how to do things properly and not taking short cuts is always a better option, but it does take time so it's not a quick option.

Do you have a website made already? Your going to need an FTP client, I use file zilla http://filezilla-project.org/

• 10 GB Space - This is the amount of space you have on the server to save your webpages and content • Unlimited Bandwidth - This is the maximum amount of data that can be transfered each month • 100 Email Accounts - This is the ammount of email accounts you get at @yourdomainname.com • 10 MySQL Databases (1 GB ea.) - This is the amount of Databases you have acess to, their used for forums and lots of other things As for the adds, im not sure Does that help?

Find a host, did the domain name come with one?

Ok so I followed this tutorial here http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,67261.0.html And things went well for the first few menus i tryed, but when I moved on to the spells and inventory I get a compile error because the procedures already exist.

Here's the one I perfer to use. 

Well I was able to fix it. I deleted the current MSWINSCK.OCX and a re-installed the library files and it registered the new one. Must have got corrupted or something.

Ok so I've ran eclipse without a problem for almost 2 years now, but now after I got rid of a virus it won't start. Im assuming the virus screwed something up. I've already tried re-installing the library package but no luck. The error message I'm getting is attached.

I expanded the village a bit. >! 

@Ytsorf: > is it MMO? or more like private servers? or no multiplayer? Yeah it's an MMO, the hub town Haven is presitent and you run into players running around, when you enter the dungeon you have a few options, you can join a party, this pairs you up with three other players and you can run the dungeon together, you can also set up your own party and set it up as invite only and invite your friends to play with you. It's only you and your party in dungeons.

 So Spiral Knights launched a little while ago, but it just recently became available on steam. It's a pretty fun game. Gameplay wise is very similar to the DS zelda games. It's a hack and slash co-op dungeon crawler. There's only one main town, Haven, and a deep dungeon that your goal is to reach the bottom of. The game is free to play so i suggest giving it a try.
