Life-saving software - [http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download](http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download) And I can't remember who did it, but some genius built a Server Status widget, have a look in resources, I believe it's there.

Didn't Robin do those tutorials in Windows 7..?

Granted, but they take over the game's forums and spam them into oblivion. I wish I owned a three-legged purple cat with AIDs :)

Marry me

Not directly to do with EO, but is there any way to type a quote into VB6 to find some code? I've seen it on a million tutorials "Find this code, replace with this." But I'm really lazy and lack the motivation to search through endless lines of code

I can't quite tell what you mean, do you mean that you try to save tilesets from the interwebs as a .bmp, then try to convert it from .png to .bmp, resulting in loss of transparency and a black background? Just save them as the picture format they came in, then open them up in MS paint, save as, then .bmp. It doesn't matter about transparency being lost because EO doesn't work with transparency and layers, ect. And if it's a black background, make sure the top left-hand corner pixel is black too. It will then ignore the black and make the black the transparent colour. If this isn't your problem, post again, because I'm not quite sure what your problem is…

Are you trying to run the server from your girlfriends place, or from your own? If you're running the server from your house, you don't need to portforward her router. Leave your computer on with the server running and then open the client from your girlfriends home.

I think No-IP's a little advanced for now. I personally can't make head nor tail of it :L

I never said it was a guess. It was based on me experimenting with them, so it's better than saying "I don't know, I was high". I said they were an _idea_, not a guess, a stab in the dark. Surely a basic idea based on some experimentation is more productive than not having a clue. If you'd spent some time looking into the matter and come out with a sketchy idea of what they do, you would have posted them, too. Good grief.

I did not :) Much thanks :)

Attack is how often you hit, I think Defence is how often you're hit Agility is how often you parry Endurance controls health Will - I have no idea Intelligence, _I think_ controls mana That's what I think, anyway. I'm really not sure.

Okay, have a look in your config.ini file. If it says localhost or 127.0.0.1, then that's your problem. Go to [www.ipchicken.com](http://www.ipchicken.com) to get your external IP and paste it into the IP= line. Make sure your router has a decent password if you're going to ship it out like this. You'll also need a static IP address (One that doesn't change every time you connect to your router). Go to [http://portforward.com/help/setup_static_ip_address.htm](http://portforward.com/help/setup_static_ip_address.htm) and download the software. You can also get some software to check if the port is open from [http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm](http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm). Keep two versions of your game, one on a memory stick, one on your computer. Keep the one on your computer with localhost in it's config file, and one wth your external IP on the memory stick. Your external IP won't work from within your router, but localhost will. Portforwarding might be frustrating, but persevere and it'll happen.

Okay, so this'll sound ultra-super-mega-nooby, but I opened up the client in VB6 and moved about the GUI, and I stretched the part where you can see your surroundings, etc, and it stretched out when I ran the game. Is there away to increase screen-size without the stretchy effect? (Like Crystalshire, or one of the similar GUI custom Eclipses about) Much thanks.

There is a _very_ basic way of doing it, but it's not the clearest, nor the best effect. If you make a 32x32 tile and put grey lines (1 pixel thick) diagonally over it until its a pixel by pixel checkerboard with the non-grey colour being the tileset's transparent colour. It works for shadows, mostly. Like I said, it's not the most attractive but it does the job.

If you really can't portforward there's programs for it that will do the hard work for you [http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download](http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download) If this doesn't work for you then go into your routers doo-dads and set your computer as the DMZ. That way all incoming traffic will be forwarded to your computer. This _can_ have some implications for your computers safety, but mine's been the DMZ for months, and two of those months were (accidentally) spent without Anti-Virus and I've never had trouble. Good luck getting your server online :)

Thanks for the help :)

The problem is sorted - It turns out that over 10 letters and it won't store correctly. He just needed to re-register with a new account with less that 10 letters in it's name and it works perfectly.

Hey! I'd like to request a logo for my game, FinaSTAND What kind of graphics?: A logo, please Size: 515 x 352 Color scheme: Dark blacks and blues Details: Medieval text spelling out 'FinalSTAND' with a scythe underneath I've seen your work so far and I trust your judgement on how it should look- They're very impressive. Thanks in advance, I know it must be hard with all of us spamming you for logo :) Your name will be on the credits in the game :) Thanks!! Please and thank you

If you want to be involved, PM me and I'll send a link to the client :)

Okay, I've had my server up today and it was the first time it ran. I sent a copy to my friend and he logged in, and it all worked fine. He then logged off and couldn't log back on because it kept saying that his password was incorrect. He was using save password, and it wouldn't work. He opened up his config.ini and the password was correctly stored in there. He's now created multiple accounts using paswords like '123' that cannot be forgotten and they don't work either. This is **not** a spelling mistake, but I have no idea how to sort it. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter when, where or how :D It's mostly being done for fun, and if the game gets popular and we get ad money from the website, we'll be splitting it :) We might also need people to play the three gods in-game in special events, like god wars (:

Hey, everyone Thanks for the interest! Work is ensuing now so that the client is good enough to work with, then we'll zip it up and ship it out to you. Duties of a mod would be: *Keeping an eye on players *Beta-Tesing the game *Helping new players If you'd like to help with other parts of the game, just ask for the info about it (: If you feel like setting up an admins lounge, creating a new item, It's all good :D

I know there's a couple of alternatives to portforwarding your server, but what are they and how do they work? I'm a bit stupid when it comes to portforwarding and have gone through 4 routers and two ISPs attempting to do it. Thanks in advance :)

I've just read through this and it looks like an excellent project. If you'll let me, I would like to apply for the post of a writer, as this is actually my strong point. I'd still be working on my own project in the background, but this project would take precedence over anything I would be working on were I not part of this team. I may just be an Eclipse newb, but I'm not half bad at writing and I have a very over active imagination, an excellent tool for working on RPGs. Thanks.

I usin es cliant and eo serva but it sez dat serverz downz omgwtfbbq?
