Hey Seth! I'd like to be able to choose if the player is able to use a skill on a target when there are block tiles behind them (a checkbox in each skill that allows to use it even if there are block tiles behind the user and the target, so if it's not checked, the spell won't be usable if there are block tiles behind them). It's just to avoid players killing monsters that can't reach them because of block tiles. Maybe you can do it by using the pathfinder; if the pathfinder finds a way to where the target is, then it means there are no block tiles behind the user and the target, and if the pathfinder doesn't find a way to where the target is, it'll mean that there are block tiles behind them. Do you think you're able to do it?
Also, I'd like to know if it's possible to set npc's and player move speed (maybe a formula for it).
Btw, keep doing the nice work. Me and some friends are starting a project with your engine, we'll almost certainly buy Gold Engine when it's available on this forum. -
@[member="Aeirex"] You should change the backcolour from the client's chat so that it don't look black.
Since I have no idea about how to make transparent textboxes, I did it by changing txtmychat and txtchat backcolours in frmain to this : &H000B0D10& .
And they'll look like they're supposed to look like:
Edited: I have no more that NPC Spawn bug. -
@[member="Zopto"] : My friends have already tried all of this resolution things but nothing seems to work :/ thx for the help anyways.

Hi. I don't know why, but two of my friends have a strange bug concerning the resolution, as you can see here:
>! 
Their Windows versions are Windows 7 Ultimate (with resolution 1280x1024) and Windows 7 professional(1920x1080) (I'm not very sure if it has anything to do with the resolution since I have the same resolution as one of them but I don't have that bug.
I'm also getting this bug in client's error log:
```
The following error occured at 'HandleUpdateQuest' In 'modHandleData'.
Run-time error '0': .
``` -
Hi! I've been testing some of the engine's features and I noticed something that could be called a "bug":
If you create a npc that gives you an object and then activates a switch, if you have the inventory full it won't give you the object but it will activate the switch. Maybe you should put a conditional that allows you to check if the inventory is full.
Also I think it would be a good idea to be able to move and copy events in the map editor, that would make eventing much easier. Anyways, that's just a suggestion.
I'd also like to know if you're going to add a projectiles system.
Thanks again for the engine, and I'll comment again if I notice any other "bug".
Edit: Btw, I'm not really sure about it but isn't it supposed to be a "Begin Quest" command in events? I don't see it. -
Incredible engine, I'm definitely going to start a project with a friend if this engine is going to be supported now. Keep doing the good work!

Nice news, Rob! I think I'll make my game with your engine if everything works good! -

Rob, thanks for the help, but that didn't work. But I finally fount out the solution. I'll post here if anyone's interested (this is for SuperMMORPGmakerbox custom engine):
This in Sub DrawPlayer, in ModRendering:
Change this lines after "If Not isConstAnimated(GetPlayerSprite(Index)) Then":
```
' Reset frame
Anim = 1
```
for the ones you gave me:
```
' Reset frame
If Player(Index).Step = 3 Then
Anim = 0
ElseIf Player(Index).Step = 1 Then
Anim = 2
End If
```
In order to make the attack animation work properly, change this:
```
If Player(Index).Attacking = 1 Then
Anim = 0
End If
```
for this:
```
If Player(Index).Attacking = 1 Then
Anim = 1
End If
```
Then change this one:
```
If Player(Index).Anim >= 3 Then Player(Index).Anim = 1
```
For this one:
```
If Player(Index).Anim >= 4 Then Player(Index).Anim = 0
```
Now, to make the walking animation work properly, go to ModGameLogic, inside Sub ProcessMovement:
Change all for this (I just don't remember what was the code like before changing it):
```
Sub ProcessMovement(ByVal Index As Long)
Dim MovementSpeed As Long
If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
' Check if player is walking, and if so process moving them over
Select Case Player(Index).Moving
Case MOVING_WALKING: MovementSpeed = WALK_SPEED '((ElapsedTime / 1000) * (RUN_SPEED * SIZE_X))
Case MOVING_RUNNING: MovementSpeed = RUN_SPEED ' ((ElapsedTime / 1000) * (WALK_SPEED * SIZE_X))
Case Else: Exit Sub
End Select
Select Case GetPlayerDir(Index)
Case DIR_UP
Player(Index).yOffset = Player(Index).yOffset - MovementSpeed
If Player(Index).yOffset < 0 Then Player(Index).yOffset = 0
Case DIR_DOWN
Player(Index).yOffset = Player(Index).yOffset + MovementSpeed
If Player(Index).yOffset > 0 Then Player(Index).yOffset = 0
Case DIR_LEFT
Player(Index).xOffset = Player(Index).xOffset - MovementSpeed
If Player(Index).xOffset < 0 Then Player(Index).xOffset = 0
Case DIR_RIGHT
Player(Index).xOffset = Player(Index).xOffset + MovementSpeed
If Player(Index).xOffset > 0 Then Player(Index).xOffset = 0
End Select
' Check if completed walking over to the next tile
If Player(Index).Moving > 0 Then
If GetPlayerDir(Index) = DIR_RIGHT Or GetPlayerDir(Index) = DIR_DOWN Then
If (Player(Index).xOffset >= 0) And (Player(Index).yOffset >= 0) Then
Player(Index).Moving = 0
If Player(Index).Step = 1 Then
Player(Index).Step = 3
Else
Player(Index).Step = 1
End If
End If
Else
If (Player(Index).xOffset <= 0) And (Player(Index).yOffset <= 0) Then
Player(Index).Moving = 0
If Player(Index).Step = 1 Then
Player(Index).Step = 3
Else
Player(Index).Step = 1
End If
End If
End If
End If
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
HandleError "ProcessMovement", "modGameLogic", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext
Err.Clear
Exit Sub
End Sub
```
That's how I did it and now it works properly for me. Rob, thank you anyways because you pointed me in the right direction. -
Rob, thank you very much for the help! Now the character works correctly, but when I stop walking the character sprite looks like if he was walking although he's not.

It's already like this on my custom engine, that's why I don't know how to change it. Here's the source code of my custom engine client so maybe you can see what's the problem here.

Hi Rob.
I'm currently using an eclipse custom version that handle's the character and paperdoll sprites this way:
So it is:
First row looking up, second looking left, third looking down and fourth looking left.
I'd like you to help me to change it to allow this kind of sprites:
First row looking down, second looking left, third right and fourth up (like all normal eclipse origins do).
But i don't know how many lines i have to edit to make it work. If you want, i can send you the source of the engine by PM.
PS: I was suppossed to be the mapper of a game you were going to create like 1 year ago, but you dissappeared and never said something about it. -

Well, I have found many little bugs:
-Every time i connect to the game, the inventory window is shown.
-Can't see the correct description of some items(same for skills):
>! 
-When I open the game, this options aren't selected:
>! 
-If I set char off in the options menu and then set it on, the chat appears bugged:
>! 
-If I jump and drop an item, the item seems to be "in the air"(maybe that's not a bug but it would be better for me if the item falls down to the floor):
>!  -
Hey Zopto, nice engine.
Is it possible to continue using normal characters (4x4)? Im creating a game with this but i haven't got characters with all those animations. -
Incredible, i thought it was a joke, but then i downloaded it and saw it wasn't.
The only problem I notice is that the server window is too big and i can't see all the options, and that i would like to be able to modify the source code. -
Hmmm, Rob, are you still doing this?
Where are you, Rob? -
Hey, I read this post sometime ago, but i didn't comment because i don't have any idea about this, but i have found a nice video that explains the dimensions (from 0 to 10). I don't exactly know if this is what were you talking about, but hope you find something interesting in it. Here's the video:

Hey, Rob, can you add 16x16 pixel movement in your engine?

> bugsick can't win because he doesn't have at least 3 houses so he is out the contest. am i right ore not
Or maybe he can if that cave is a house.
Btw, bugsick, can you tell me where did you find that tileset? -
Hey, I think some people is cheating in the contest by creating some accounts and voting himself.
I think that this isn't fair for the other contestants…
As I said, I just think it... But please, be fair.
Maybe some people notice why am I saying this.
Anyways good luck to all the participants 
I personally like richy, bugsick and diee maps. -
There's a spoiler. I see it well… Anyway i'm gonna edit the post with the direct links to the photos.

You should change this to how it was because now when you enter the game you'll have 100hp and 100mp until you change map or until you increase endurance or intelligence stat, for example.
