frmMain.lblCharName = GetPlayerName(MyIndex) & " - Level: " & GetPlayerLevel(MyIndex) & " - Class: " & ClassGetPlayerClass(MyIndex) This gets me the result I am looking for, and as far as the tutorials on strings I think I am doing it right, the only thing is, that in the data file for the actual game classes, the classes are all numbered, so I get "Class: 1" or "Class 2". If I add.NAME, or .Name to the end of it to try and pull the actual classes name, is when I get the syntax errors, I did look up several tutorials on string concatenation, and I am failing to see what I am doing wrong. I am sorry to be such a bother and im sure this is just something stupid that I am overlooking, but I thank you all for you time and help.

frmMain.lblCharName = GetPlayerName(MyIndex) & " - Level: " & GetPlayerLevel(MyIndex) & " - Class(GetPlayerClass(MyIndex)).Name" With that code it gives me: Liam - Level 1 - Class(GetPlayerClass(MyIndex)).Name Because of the " after.Name. But if I move it, it re puts it there on compile. If I move it after Class like the others are, It gives me a syntax error. To be honest I have tried it several different ways, I either get a syntax or compile error; or I get it to save and compile and I either see Class: Class 0 or the way I posted above. Any thoughts as to what I may be doing wrong this time?

Hello, I waas wondering how you would go about adding 'hot keys' to the Character, inv, spells, etc tabs? I know the &Character would simply do it if the Character button was an actual command button, but not sure about it since it is a pic. Also, I added the code: frmMain.lblCharName = GetPlayerName(MyIndex) & " - Level: " GetPlayerLevel(MyIndex) & " - Class: " GetPlayerClass(MyIndex) It compiles right and works right, with the exception of it will show the data as such: Liam - Level: 1 - Class 0\. instead of Class - Warrior. Can anyone show me what I did wrong? As always I thank you for your time and help.

The spelling is correct in my src, I didnt copy and paste it, I had to retype what sr I had edited. But yall were right, I had placed the src in the drawn NPC name. Thank you guys for the help, it all works well now :)

Okay, Trying to put a GM tag infront of the name everyone that is admin. This is the code, but [GM] only show up for Fred. My name is not even visable above my characters head any more. any ideas on what i did wrong with this code that I added to modText? If Player(Index).Access > ADMIN_MONITOR Then Call DrawText(TexthDC, TexthX, TesthY, "[GM]" & Name, color) Else Call DrawText(TexthDC, TexthX, TesthY, Name, color)

Okay I am trying to load EOCE on a 64 bit Windows 7 Machine. I have loaded all of the extras, the runtime files and the library files. I can start the server and run the game with no problems but when I open the src, I get the following error message : Automation error error accessing the OLE registry. But everything works just fine, I can still edit the src and run the game afterwards. Is this an error I should be concerned with or can I just ignore it? As always I thank you all for your time and help.

You are awsome. I thank you very much.

I am assuming that the Christmas Edition is better than the previous Editions of EO and I should be using it, I was wondering though, with the hotbar in the game, you can no longer press 'f1' to pull up your admin panel to edit things or add new maps, what is the new command for this? is there a list of new commands for EOCE? As always I thank you all for your time and help.

Im an idiot. So thats all I have to do when I follow these src edit tutorials? I open the client.vpb and just select the src file to edit from the forms list?

I go to my Origins folder on my desktop, then open the client folder, then the src folder, then open up the frmMainGame form file. then when it opens, i click on the forms folder on the right under the projects section, then select frmMainGame, then I can click 'view object' and 'view code' from there. I still get the error messages from before when I first open up frmMainGame, but it shows me the object and the code now.

Hello, this may seem like a dumb question but I have to ask. When I go to edit the src frmMainGame, or any other src for that matter, once I have made my edits, i hit File - Save, then it asks what name to save it as. Am I supposed to just make the name the same as what it was before and just overwrite the old src? or am I doing something wrong? I thank you all for your time and help.

Ha, finally got it to work right. Thank you very much for taking all that time to help me.

Turning on the UAC worked fine, however, on the compatability options, the tutorial shows using XP service pack 3 but in mine it only allows you to go up to XP service pack 2\. Could this also be causing a problem? Vista is horrible and I have a windows 7 Machine. Would it be best just to load all of this from stracth on the 7 machine rather than Vista?

I did as you suggested, and it says that it is installing the files, no errors occur, however, when I opened the newley created folder, no files are in it, it is completley empty. Have you ever seen the check box 'run this program as administrator' greyed out before?

http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/eclipse/downloads.php. That is where I grabbed the files from. I honestly followed the instructions to the letter expect for the 'run as administrator' check box, I am still unable to check the box even though I am logged in as the administrator for this machine. So i am assuming that this checkbox is what is keeping me from using Origins? Would it be better for me to use a different version? or would I still encounter the same problems? But, the UAC is turned off, and I am running Vista.
