45\. Because Gwen's right^^

42\. Because Eclipse means work and work means success ;P

Okay, thanks Jeff :) I'm going to add new classes and edit my old ones ;P will take a while but I hope I can afford it ;p

37\. Because they're so many cool threads & posts on this forum ;D

@Jeff: > only 3 pets and they all have specific storylines? That doesn't seem to make a good MMO. Add more pets. I'd say 7 or so would be good. Also, don't give them storylines just give a description of their species. Is every Kitzu's family attacked by a big horde of Striton? Is every single Kitzu exactly alike? Or i could be missing something big here…. Mmh…look at this quote :D @Cat: > _**What's the game about?**_ > CYPO is game where you can control one of three pets: Kitzu, Striton and Lipun. The whole game plays in Netrias, a world filled with wars. **You've probably seen a lot of games with 8+ characters. But often they're very unbalanced and there is a "best class". But in CYPO every character class is very balanced and everyone does have own distinctive abilities.** I hope this could answer your question :) @Jeff: > Also, don't give them storylines just give a description of their species. Without a story every MMORPG would be a fail :P **New music added to this thread, I hope you like it :)**

@Sekaru: > So? Doesn't make a difference. If you aren't online they won't be able to play the game either way. I think webs would be a better solution just to make an auto-updater ;O for real game websites you should use other programs.

Actually this problem shouldn't be. It doesn't matter how many maps and NPCs there are. :D Have you blocked the map? If you still have this problem then download and install EO again.

24\. Because I just love it ^^

New logo added :) Thanks to kyoghin for this great work.

If I have time, I will add it :) thanks for the constructive critism.

thank you….I think I should change it ;)

_**Welcome to my 1st tutorial! :D**_ _Today I will show you how to create a monster for a 2D MMORPG. Please notice that I will only show you the front view of this monster but with this tutorial you can easily create the other views of the monster, too. :)_ **Some facts about sprites** You are able to find the right .bmp file in 'Client -> data files -> graphics -> characters' There you can see three already made characters (in Eclipse Origins) Right-click one of it and 'edit' it. If you haven't managed that a .bmp file opens with another program, paint will open. Now you can see that there are four lines with four same people… **WRONG:** _They're not same._ Every 'sprite' (sprite = the person that you're going to edit now) does have something different compared to the one before. These four people should make an animation, that's why everyone is different, as I said before. **Let's create your first monster!** 1) Use the **size of the made sprite** to have the right size for your own monster. First, draw with the pencil tool a half of your monster. [use the loup tool to draw better] I've decided to make a nasty frog :) [](http://img15.imageshack.us/i/76880861.png/) You can see half of my frog. 2) **Copy** your half, **paste** it in the same file and **rotate** it. Now you should have something like that: [](http://img694.imageshack.us/i/58607715.png/) You can see both halfs combined to one. 3) Now draw some **details**. Use your imagination to make your monster to anything special! :D [](http://img839.imageshack.us/i/65662272.png/) You can see a few details. 4) According to that, draw more and more details. Details are very important for every monster. [](http://img863.imageshack.us/i/14480794.png/) You can see more details like the teeth. 5) Now it's color time! Don't use colors like pink or bright yellow if you don't want a cute monster. Take more **aggressive colors** like dark green, brown or dark blue (dark colors are very aggressive) ;) Avoid taking more than three colors for one monster in that size. [](http://img163.imageshack.us/i/26806489.png/) You can see a dark green frog and grey teeth. 6) Many people probably think, shading is something very difficult. But **it's not**. You have to choose the right color first, then go to the **color palette**. Choose a bit darker green for the area below and some brighter green for the area above. [](http://img853.imageshack.us/i/56268421.png/) You can see the color palette. That's my result of shading. I haven't used much :) [](http://img806.imageshack.us/i/54614309.png/) 7) You probably think now 'oh yeah - this is it!' but unfortunately I must disappoint you :P There's still much more to do. Your sprite is still waiting for its animation. So you need to draw 15 more of it. Three more from the front, four more from the left side, the right side and from back. [I'll only attend you till you've finished the front - The rest can be made by yourself after this tutorial] **Copy and paste** your sprite four times next to each other like this: [](http://img842.imageshack.us/i/86923499.png/) You can see four frogs next to each other. 8) I've decided that the frog **jumps** while moving. So I make the 2nd and the 4th sprite higher. They're the **'movement sprites'** now. The other both are the **'basic sprites'**. [](http://img849.imageshack.us/i/60120717.png/) You can see the two **'movement sprites'** and the two **'basic sprites'** 9) Now use the **circle tool** to make a shade under the 'movement sprites'. Here's a picture of it: [](http://img854.imageshack.us/i/40216621.png/) The **red marked** tool is the circle tool I've used to make a shade under the 'movement sprites'. 10) After creating the circles, you should change **the feet** to make it more '**alive**'. Now it still looks boring but with a little bit of drawing you can do it. :) [](http://img43.imageshack.us/i/95207492.png/) I made it like this. But use **your imagination** to make it even better. **Now you're finally finished. Your result is great!** **Animation:** [](http://picasion.com/)

21\. Because there's a long story behind Eclipse which I like ;D

18\. Because many 2D MMORPGs would be away if Eclipse wasn't here…

10\. Because every day with Eclipse is like a day without any worries :D
