The way I was going to do it would be completely ~~server-sided~~, with no involvement with the server. But my concern was the FPS dipping if I had to many or some crap like that. I'll figure something out, thanks. client-sided* :cheesy:

So good idea? bad idea?

Alright, I just figured out how to add videos into CS:DE and wanted to know if its a good idea to do so? Seeing as its not designed to do such things and all, wouldn't it be stress on the server if 100 different people had an .AVI video playing in the GUI? Or would that just be a client side type thing…?

Damn. Thanks for the fast response.

Was wondering if it would be at all possible to use particle effects from programs such as After Effects and ParticleIllusion without it looking all screwy.

i get an RTE 9 at ``` If Npc(npcNum).Spell(i) > 0 Then ``` Help would be appreciated.

I was wondering if theres some sort of program you know of that i can use to merge multiple bitmaps into one animation file. Sort of like a batch image converter.

Well I'm trying to set it up so others can play, but my ports only forward with my public address and therefore none can connect through the forwarded ports.

Why is my Server using my private IP? Is there a way i can change it?

Ah there was my problem, the health. thanks.

The NPC's behavior is set to "Friendly" and it has a conversation assigned to it but when i try to interact with picChat doesn't show up.

Hm. For some reason when I compile my source server-side I get argument not optional error at the line of code that calls the SpeechWindow sub. ``` If Npc(npcNum).Behaviour = NPC_BEHAVIOUR_FRIENDLY Then If Npc(npcNum).Convo = False Then >>>Call SpeechWindow(Attacker, Trim$(Npc(npcNum).AttackSay), npcNum) Else InitChat Attacker, mapNum, mapNpcNum End If ```

Fixed it yesterday…the size of picScreen was off by one pixel in width.

EYE. LOVE. YOU. Thanks.

Where in hel might i find the DirectX 8 SDK for VB6? Searched for about an hour and came up with nothing.

Yes. I tried 640x608 and this happened. 1024x608 worked fine for some odd reason

>!  Any tips?

EDIT: nvm I think i found it.

I wanted to know if theres a way to preview a picturebox's image while editing it.

Thanks.

If picScreen is rendering multiple visuals at a constant rate then would it be plausible to think that its pretty much impossible to place anything transparent over it? I ask this because i would like to know if its possible at all before i waste time rewriting a crapton of code just to run into a brick wall.

If everyone else can get in with no problem and you can't then its obviously something to do with your computer bro. Sorry i can't be of more help.

Was wondering if VB6 would allow me to use an image with transparency and show the transparency onscreen. EDIT: nvm found something – http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=636390

Hmmm i see your points. Thanks for the feedback.

>!  I know its pretty dull but what im asking is is the overall layout good? Depending on feedback i intend to use this as a base and work up from it.
