I'm out.
This time when I disappear, at least I'll say Goodbye!
Not a fan of where things are headed with the community, but I am a supporter of the VB6 Engine and Eclipse Worlds (Good Luck Helladen!)
Stay safe everyone.

I posted a method to do this in Eclipse Origins 3.0 here
It allows full screen gameplay with a sizable window, so as you size the window, it'll size your display accordingly!
[http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/135796-robs-feature-request-thread/?p=926234](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/135796-robs-feature-request-thread/?p=926234) -
Offering "Gold" or any sort of subscription or purchase is bad for Eclipse Worlds in my opinion.
It has always been the best custom engine here, and limiting certain features and charging for it will take away from that, and result in becoming just another Eclipse Origins. -
The future of Eclipse ladies and gentlemen.

As Budweiser said, you wouldn't need a business license most likely, but you will need to pay taxes on profits. It would be considered self-employment and you would need to file those taxes accordingly with the IRS, CRA or whomever regulates taxes in your country and state/province.
I'm not sure about the Apple App-Store in the US but for any apps I've released they automatically charge the proper tax rate on any sales, and I receive payment through direct deposit as well as proper tax forms by snail mail. -
Looks amazing. How do you handle deployment on mobile devices, will you distribute .apk / .ipa for Android / iOS respectively or is it browser based?

This is amazing.

There's nothing bad about VB6 at all. It's outdated and out-classed but it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. It was a largely accepted IDE for close to a decade. Don't confuse bad with being old. -
Those are amazing. I love it.

Love the mount idea, but with the way movement is handled in Eclipse, it's going to look and perform poorly with a handful of people on mounts in the same area. It's just with the way Eclipse handles movement. The client tells the server it's moving, then the server tells everyone else the player has moved, for every single tile movement. When you increase the speed of a player, it is increasing the number of packets being sent from client to server and server to every other player, far more frequently. You'll notice significant "jumping" with multiple people on mounts around each other.
It's really unavoidable unless you rewrite the movement processing. A significant task.
If you're not aiming for a ton of people in a single area at once, you won't have much of a problem other than just the strain on network latency. -
Hey everyone!
If anyone out there is an AppGameKit user, this is a core for a multiplayer Server setup that can be used.
This is build with AppGameKit Tier 1 IDE with a BASIC scripting language.
I will post the client and the media assets a little later, but anyone out there is looking to create a Multiplayer Game for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android or Blackberry, here's a little code to get you started!

> My engine is not meant to be an engine, it is meant to be a base for fans of Runescape type games. Although, as people said Eclipse engines are not really engines, they are bases to work with.
This!
10+
Perfect description. -
Arguing aside, I've always been a HUGE fan of Eclipse Worlds. To date it's probably the best custom version out there in regards to "features" and the rendering changes are spectacular.
EVB is an amazing base, neatly coded, and very well optimized, but lacks features and newer technology that is found in EW.
You can't compare EW and EVB, it's like comparing Apples and Oranges. -
Hath no fear Aaron / Skyward, this wouldn't lead to a ban, and I'm a little sad you think it would! That's not the community we are striving for here.
I actually agree with your statements! -
This thing still gets used? Damn.
-
I think there's definitely a lot of valid points to be said for all arguments in this thread.
So I'll simply say a few things on my mind.
Eclipse needs to be viewed in two ways, the Engine, and the Community. In my opinion, the community should be renamed something else, because the Community, in reality, doesn't use the Eclipse engine much these days, the community is an indie developer forum.
**The Engine:**
The current Eclipse Origins engine is built on dated technology. This is why Dr. Yukiro has selected a few members to draft and create a new engine with current technology to bring Eclipse into this decade. The old engine, Eclipse Origins 4, has become my love child project for the time being. I will be updating Eclipse Origins 4.3 and onwards until the team has released the new engine, and then support for Eclipse Origins will no longer be available. We will continue to allow people custom versions on the forum. Eclipse Origins 4.3 and maybe 4.4 will remain closed source for a while, but 4.5 (milestone) will once again become Open-Sourced and available to everyone.
**The Community:**
For years, the community was based upon the engine, everyone was using some variant of Eclipse or something similar to create their games. So chatter was focused a lot game design, concepts, etc. We've evolved and many of the community members have grown up, gone to college and are now working professionals. The existing community has changed from a bunch of kids wanting to make the next big MMO, to a bunch of teens or adults, who now understand game development, are venturing out onto other platforms for development. This is OK, Change is OK. We shouldn't be stifling the competition and banning people who are creating similar projects but instead encourage them, offer them support, link to their engine and hopefully they will link back to ours. It's the only way to succeed as indies! Everyone also needs to put ego's aside. Even though you are all older now and realize the limitations of Visual Basic etc, we still get kids on the forums who DO want to make the next big MMO and think that Eclipse Origins is going to do that for them. Let them have that pipe dream. It's what got YOU and kept YOU here. Don't rain on someone else's parade by telling them what they can't do, because you now know better! You started at this exact same location. Let them use Eclipse Origins, help them with their projects. Eventually they will become pillars of the community as well and realize there are other alternatives out there.
/EndRant -
Hey Everyone,
I'm taking over the Eclipse Origins development (VB6). There are other things in the works that Dr. Yukiro I'm sure will announce in the coming days.
As for what you can expect with Eclipse Origins, as Dr. Yukiro has stated we are moving away from the Gold/Silver licensing system and moving to a free-closed-source version for the time being. Yes, eventually when I clean up the source and am comfortable with the documentation as I plan to work on some nice detailed help documents, it will go Open-Source at some point.
In the mean time Eclipse Origins 4.3 will be closed source but free! We will still offer VPS hosting for a cost if you want your game hosted on our machine.
More information will come from myself in the coming days!
Hope to serve you all well! -
You'd have the Tweak places where it calls "RenderTexture" to adjust the destination width and height to 64x64 in other places as well, not just in DrawMapTile, it was just an example.
I'm not entirely sure I follow your issue though Sherwin? I've never run into an issue where rendering into a source plane 2x the size has given me the artefact border unless I'm trying to stretch an that wasn't initially to the power of 2, or putting it into a surface that isn't to a power of 2? -
SherwiN is right, it's not really a "zoom" you simply render the texture into a larger surface size than the images actual dimensions.
If you look at your Sub DrawMapTIle you'll find
RenderTexture Tex_Tileset(.layer(I).Tileset), ConvertMapX(X * PIC_X), ConvertMapY(Y * PIC_Y), .layer(I).X * 32, .layer(I).Y * 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, -1
Without testing it, this "should" work RenderTexture Tex_Tileset(.layer(I).Tileset), ConvertMapX(X * PIC_X), ConvertMapY(Y * PIC_Y), .layer(I).X * 32, .layer(I).Y * 32, 64, 64, 32, 32, -1
Render Texture uses the variables (ByRef TextureRec As DX8TextureRec, ByVal dX As Single, ByVal dY As Single, ByVal sx As Single, ByVal sy As Single, ByVal dWidth As Single, ByVal dHeight As Single, ByVal sWidth As Single, ByVal sHeight As Single, Optional color As Long = -1, Optional ByVal Degrees As Single = 0), so you want to change the Destination With and Destination Height (dWidth and dHeight) -
Spork! Spike! I still have naughty pictures of you from your Broadcast a few Christmas' ago!
How are things going? Drop me a line! I may have stumbled upon a project of yours that intrigues the bejesus out of me! -

It's the community that has driven me away here, not your code or your plans for the engine, but the site leadership (excluding yourself and Agora)
