@ Justn I'm sure you have to at least turn a PC at your house off every so often … thus you won't have the same UP time without ruining your computer (eventually). Also its a static IP, some home networks and internet providers use dynamic IPs that change over time, with this one it will stay constant. As for actual game play with this you can't tell the difference. (but this has yet to be extensively tested) @jcsnider That too lol

I am willing to host several eclipse servers on my virtual machine, for a small monthly price. It costs money to have a VM, and charging a small fee per game server helps with the cost a bit. right now my VM can handle about 5 extra servers. My price is about $5/mo. Why should you pay to have some one host it for you? Because this server will be up 99.9% of the time and never has to be shut off, EVER! ServerType: Windows Server 2008 R2 The EO runtimes come pre-installed (cause i put them there) so you can just run your server the second its on the VM. What you will get: -your own parallel profile on my server, with username and password -remote desktop Access (the client for it is built into all windows computers) -A SINGLE PORT, please tell me what port you will be using so i can tell other users no to use it. -direct access to your server 100% of the time! -NO PORT FORWARDING NEEDED! This will give you FULL control of your server and yours alone, DO NOT log out of the server at anytime, just close the viewer. Terms of use: - you will only have 1 instance of your server running at a time - you will only host the server and files for running said server - you may use an auto restarter for your game server Violating these terms can and most likely result in the termination of your account and the hosting of your server. For requesting a slot PM me with: -Requested Account Name -Requested PW -Requested Port # -method of payment (i prefer paypal) Taken IPs: -7001: HOA -9000: ROTH

@Crest: > Can't we all just like bow to a plate of bacon or something I mean, we can all agree Bacon is swell right? No, choice cut steak!

Hey everyone! IM BACK!!!! sorry to anyone who suffered from my disappearance I had many things to do at school and my new job takes a lot of my time. GOOD NEWS!!!! HOA now has a dedicated virtual server!!!!

Did you try clicking on the item? did you name the item the same as something else?

@Captain: > Who are you calling a noob? 1) Up yours for being a stick all the time 2) to noobs who cant solve a SIMPLE problem (like variable not defined) and have to ask for something they missed in the tutorial. And to the ones who dont WANT to learn

There are several tutorials on how to make chat boxes for NPCs too.

yes get rid of getplayerstat then =P

yep =P but both increase both just a bit

the Pet summoning items are not Dynamic =P you must make a pet summoning Item on the same number as the NPC you want to summon

@kahnival: > I went to the tutorial section, **found something simple** (such as Ryokus real defence) **and looked at how it worked and what exactly it was doing** and then put it in the engine. To other noobs, TAKE NOTES!

its ok I found some epic 2d DX9 vb.net examples, il going to try and understand them XD

Ok, i'll check up on that. thank you for some CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.

@Captain: > >2012 > >Using GDI Got a better example of a built-in & easy to use example you would care to share? Cause it took me a while to fine this stuff, I would be happy to learn a better way.

I see it as an (very true) insult to the people who want "Cut Corners" on making a game and don't want to attempt to learn coding =P but for people who don't have VB6 then good for them they get features too! =D

For #1 it was failed to be made clear that you will need Visual Basic 6 (VB6) to edit anything in the coding of your game. This is NOT NEGOTIABLE! you either have the program so you can make edits or you hire some one… OR just download a custom version.

So I've been working with the GDI+ for VB.NET (a built-in version of EO's graphic dependencies). and I finnaly got it to do dynamic cropping and masking color as well as RENDERING instead of loading!!!!! I did this in class while the rest were going over what a sub and a function is. LOL The thing is that there is a Pixel Format called "DontCare" and I thought that was kinda funny lol Anyway here is a basic example of rendering with VB.net I know it might look a bit inefficient but it's just to show the basics of the graphic rendering of VB.net for any willing to go in that direction. Also, the bmp files are loaded from the same folder in this example. ``` Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 'Create a new Bitmap image and load the first image to it (a background) Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() + "2.bmp") 'Create an image object at the location you want it to render Dim g As Graphics = picDraw.CreateGraphics 'Draw the loaded image to the object g.DrawImage(myBitmap, 1, 1) 'load the second image to the bitmap image (an EO Character sprite) myBitmap = New Bitmap(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() + "1.bmp") 'Get the masking color from the top left pixel myBitmap.MakeTransparent(myBitmap.GetPixel(1, 1)) 'Declare a rectangle of what you want to crop out of the image (dynamically) Dim crop As New Rectangle(1, 1, (myBitmap.Width / 4), (myBitmap.Height / 4)) 'load a cropped copy of the bitmap to the bitmap itself myBitmap = myBitmap.Clone(crop, Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare) 'Draw the image on top of the current image g.DrawImage(myBitmap, 1, 1) 'Load the character sprite again for another crop myBitmap = New Bitmap(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() + "1.bmp") 'Get the mask myBitmap.MakeTransparent(myBitmap.GetPixel(1, 1)) 'set a rectangle for the crop of the Left Facing, step1 frame(again dynamically) crop = New Rectangle((myBitmap.Width / 4), (myBitmap.Height / 4), (myBitmap.Width / 4), (myBitmap.Height / 4)) 'set the image as the cropped clone myBitmap = myBitmap.Clone(crop, Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare) 'Draw the image ontop of the existing, beside the first crop of the character g.DrawImage(myBitmap, (myBitmap.Width / 4), 1) End Sub ```

sorry hat I didn't add any GUI parts to it, but if some one does they will be added to the tutorial and co-credited.

sure =D go for it! just change both the client and server, that is the only change that would really need to be made ;D

you just have to add the map type in the constants then in the map properties editor, then add a check for it in the spells casting sub. so, yes, it is possible.

looks gook, except for the chat location, keep it up.

Make a combat check! =D ``` If Item(GetPlayerEquipment(attacker, Weapon)).Data3 0 Then PlayerMsg Index, "You cant attack with a NPC with a tool", BrightRed Exit Sub End If ```

You could format your post to look a little more professional, a wall of text isn't what people what when looking for a person to hire, it doesn't necessarily have to be a resume, just make it look nice. and you might want to show a few examples of your work, just claiming what you made isn't very much to go on. You know, like 1 or 2 sample products.

Marry Christmas! I compiled this RMXP starter kit a while back =D http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,73932.0.html It has music and sounds too!

>.< could you at least put something next to my name that i can actually take credit for? Convo isn't mine. =P
