Well made tutorial, thanks.

Nice resource, i will use this. Thanks for sharing

Good idea, but, I also want this messages to say if new updates are out so it would be pointless if i did it like that. And soul, i looked into what you said but i really cant work it out :huh:

lol, browser refresh error thingy, you double posted. Because i will use that for minor things or welcome messages or for telling people events that are on today etc bug the admin message thingy will have loads more information, to much to put into the MOTD

Hello reader (and hopefully, question answerer), I wanted to set up a system in EO 2.0.0 in which there is a small button on the screen which when pressed a new window pops up showing a message/s from the head admin running the server (the text in the window should be edited from a file called "adminmessage.ini" (or .txt depending which is appropriate for this source edit) Unfortunately, I only have a vauge idea how to do this (i think you would make the command button call up the text from the server and display it in a text box on the new window) and I don't know what the codes would be. If someone could please share instructions on how to do this I would be very grateful. Kind regards, Craselin

@RyokuHasu: > I tried it and it worked perfectly, please share your error or discribe how it didnt work… > > O.o and I've modded mine up the Wazu and it still worked.. =P Sorry about that, it works fine, that was a post i made when i was a complete newb and didn't know you had to compile the client after src edits XD. Also, quick question, is there any way to make it so the level is shown next to your name e.g: Character (10)

I'm not your krusty, eww….

@Conra: > i think if you add a few things that need checking it starts getting noticeable. Not really, think of it like this. How many lines of code does it take to say, you an item in EO or fight an NPC? The answer: quite a few, yet it still loads pretty fast.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there are any good tileset makers (as in people, not programs) like inquisitor or just RMXP etc, that make modern city type tiles? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Craselin

or whatever colour you use for the BG/transparent

Hmmm, i just might do that :) Thanks (and also, your like the 8th person to mention something about me accent to me XD)

hmm, thanks. I'll look into that

Only one problem, i've got no idea how!? :/

if you could give a screenshot of the error that would help and also i think you can unban yourself from the server :)

oops, sorry i didnt see the dates :S. Sorry jooda

I dunno, edgy parents? XD. I've just played some games where people have commented on not wanting blood. And thanks :D

If you stop double posting mabye they will. >:|

Meh, i did it anyway XD

@QWERTYUIoP: > Perfectly written. I wish all the tutorials were in this format. Thank you. Actually i might add a poll to see what more people think

Blood On/Off Button Tutorial by Craselin Hey everyone, before i start the tutorial I want say "MASSIVE" credit to Sweek who pretty much taught me how to do this and without him this tutorial would not exisit. Also please bear in mind this is my first tutorial. **What does this tutorial do?** This tutorial will guide you on create a checkbox in the options menu which allows players to turn blood on or off. **Are there any known bugs?** Yes, sadly there is a pretty big bug which causes blood not to appear on login until unchecking the box then re-checking it. There are no other known bugs. **Is it hard?** Not very hard it all, that is, if you follow the instructions. >! **_ALL EDITS DONE IN CLIENT_** **1\.** Open up client.vbp using visual basic professional or enterprise edition. **2\.** In the project explorer click "Modules" then "modConstants"  **3\.** At the end of modConstants add this: ``` 'blood on or off Public bloodvisi As Boolean ```then close modConstants **4\.** Once again in the modules section but this time open "modDirectDraw7"  **5\.** Find this code using Ctrl+F ``` Public Sub BltBlood(ByVal Index As Long) Dim rec As DxVBLib.RECT ```Underneath it add this: ``` If bloodvisi = False Then Exit Sub ```then close modDirectDraw7 **6\.** Under the Forms section open frmMain  **7\.** Now for the more graphical part, in the corner you will see a big picture box (refer to picture below) right click it and select send to back, do this again until you see the music and sound options  **8\.** Now make a small label by clicking on the label button and place it below the other options, then click in the caption section at the side and name it "Blood" make the backstyle "0 - transparent" change the font to "georgia (bold)" and make the font colour "white (highlighted text)" Then you need to make a checkbox next to the blood label, name it "bloodchk", make the backcolour "black (button text)" and change the value to "1 - Checked"  **9\.** Double click on the checkbox and a window should pop up, you should see a code like this: ``` Private Sub bloodchk_Click() >! End Sub ```In the middle of that code, in the blank space, type (or copy) this: ``` If Check1.Value = 0 Then BloodSwitch = True Else: BloodSwitch = False End If ```**10\.** Close that window and select File > Make Eclipse Origins.exe. A window should pop up so click ok then yes, now wait until the compile bar at the top is done. Now close VB6 (it will ask if you want to save, click yes) **DONE!** >! Oh and, sorry for the werid flashing at the start, Camstudio is werid like that sometimes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RoK29wV_VU **GOOD LUCK! And enjoy!** kind regards, Craselin
