my definition of 'been there done that' is something along the lines of 'I've already tried making that, and it worked, so you'll surelly make it really fast'
you guys seriously take misinterpretation to the next level, I use the ' in 'inspiration' because it isn't Inspiration really, it's rather a "you may take a look at the material I made so far might give you an idea/help" in a constructive way…
I once had a 'discussion' one day with Maddy where she explained to me that the words I used weren't the right ones, you'll just have to get used to foreigners messing stuff up I guess... no one's perfect
anyways I'll stop posting to 'foreigner haters' xD, and back on topic, I liked your features Rob, keep up the good work ;)
PS: *cough* Zelda ! *cough* -
> A twelve-year-old blind kid can see you only posted (…)
I'm really sorry you misinterpreted my bad english, I guess I just didn't choose the right words ;)
btw, I like the 16x16 movement style thing and the heart system reminds me so much of Zelda :P -
I'm not native english, sorry if I seemed rude it wasn't my intention, I was just showing the video for inspiration, and I'm actually wondering what the game as unique from the rest of the eclipse games :s
-
> I feel this game is near to being "feature complete"
care to say any feature that might be 'unique' ? (aka not in any other eclipse game) ._. -
> **What you can expect in the future are more unique items such as bows, bombs, a hook-shot and mounts
> ! **
been there done that XD
might wanna take a look if you need 'inspiration' :P

might want to change these to Byte too :P -
if the color and alpha are only 0 to 255 why don't you use a byte for that ?
-
maybe they're not in the right format ?

no image is sent and 'saved' client-side, all nedded image data is sent to the client and stored in a record, easy
-
> I'm guessing that is so the other guild members get the same image?
I guess you could say that but there's a little trick in it so no image is actually sent to the client at any moment (could be heavy for the packet) ;) -
Just wanted to show off 2 awesome features I added to EE in this last update:
Warning: Image heavy
>! Custom Guild Icon System, instead of having image files randomly assigned like in a thread I saw, I made it so this system accept image files uploaded to the server by the players (founders of the guild)
>!
>! 
>! Item Linking to chat, most mmo players will recognize this, Shift+Leftclicking an item in your inventory will 'link' them to your chat, pretty useful to share item information with players (mainly trades and such)
>!
>! 
Tell me what you guys thing ;) -
go in vb6, open frmMain, go to the textbox where you write your chat, click once on it to open the properties thing on the right side of vb6, look for 'Max Length' or something like it, it will let you limit the amount of characters you can write in it
-
in modServerLoop -> Private Sub UpdateMapSpawnItems()
find:
```
' Clear out unnecessary junk
For x = 1 To MAX_MAP_ITEMS
Call ClearMapItem(x, y)
Next
```
replace with this:
```
' Clear out unnecessary junk
For x = 1 To MAX_MAP_ITEMS
If MapItem(y, x).despawnTimer < GetTickCount Then
Call ClearMapItem(x, y)
End If
Next
```
the problem is that it is respawning (and also deleting) map items every 5 minutes (LastUpdateMapSpawnItems = GetTickCount + 300000) without checking if the item's time has come. -

didn't you forget the red part ?
Dim
tmpname as String, l as Long
for l = 1 to UBound(Command) - 1 -
>! answering your problem, it's the space in your name that is causing the error:
"/setaccess The Raven 4"

>! when it splits the command string into a string array this engine's code is meant to have the following order: command(0),name(1),access(2)

it's using Raven
as the access level, which you can be certain isn't a number xD

Call SetPlayerAccess(FindPlayer(Command(1)), CLng(Command(2)))

to:

for l = 1 to UBound(Command) - 1
tmpname = tmpname & " " & Trim$(Command(l))
next
tmpname = Trim$(tmpname)
If FindPlayer(tmpname) > 0 Then
Call SetPlayerAccess(FindPlayer(tmpname), CLng(Command(UBound(Command))))
>! ``` -
I dunno about tutorials, but i'd probably go something like this:
1- Create an array of strings to hold all the titles (client-side)
2- Add '.hasTitle(1 to MAX_TITLES)' to the playerRec (client and server-side)
3- Add ITEM_TYPE_TITLE (client and server, don't forget the item editor), and in the server's 'Sub UseItem()' add the check for that item type and call 'UnlockTitle( playerIndex, titlenum)', titlenum being a value retrieved from the item's data
>! ```
>! Sub UnlockTitle( byval index as long, byval titlenum as long )
if titlenum < 1 or titlenum > MAX_TITLES then exit sub
if index < 1 or index > MAX_PLAYERS then exit sub
>! Player(index).hasTitle(titlenum) = True
End Sub
>! ```
[EDIT]
4- Add '.selectedTitle' to playerRec
5- on 'Sub DrawPlayerName()' make it draw the player's .selectedTitle -
I suggest that you look up what you write about, because you said "This is my review of the _**game**,_ **NOT** it's development team
", yet for example you spoke about TRexx one of our dev team members and you kept arguing about it, so I suggest you rewrite the review to be according to what you said or you just got into a contradiction. (This was supposed to be a game review not a development team review, but anyways check your sources before posting incorrect information). You are partially correct when you say updates are a rarity, but that is because we are still optimizing the engine to fix bugs that happen once in a while, I don't think there's the need to spam the changelog with internal engine information like those.
Anyways, keep up the good work with the reviewing thing :)

I laughed :) -
sorry Kibbelz, he's the one who started… :\
you should edit Skyward's also then, accusing someone of theft it's serious, and in this case it's even a false statement -
Kajamaz - Hit, average-good mapper (like his style), hell of a multitasker at EverEmber, very good 'leadership' skill
Sherwin - Hit, starts various things from his 'scratch engine' and ends up making amazing things, very good person ^_^
ValentineBr - Hit, very good at catching bugs (didn't actually work with him)
Seb - Hit~Miss, average pixel-artist, is a good moderator although he messed up a bit at a certain time in EE
DarkDino - Hit, very friendly, asked me to help him with some programming, and now he's making some cool systems for his game
TheDoug - Hit, helped me test some important things to make EE's Engine more stable against hackers (yeah… unfortunatelly even Eclipse based games have hackers... (at least the online and 'good' ones))
And just because I don't want to be only hits,

Forgot to put an example, here's a link for the one I made in dx7: [LINK](http://imgur.com/a/p5qgl#1)

I'm guessing anyone who knows dx7 or dx8 around here can do that
[EDIT] Answering your question, Yes (I know :)) -
> I was more confused than anything…
I guess it's because portuguese have that saying "meia palavra basta para bom entendedor"

Player_HighIndex only stores the value of the player with the highest index so there could be 'null players' between 1 and Player_HighIndex, so you might want to add a "isPlaying(i)" in there otherwise this will cause errors :)
