Anyways if you don't recommend VB then what do you recommend, for someone starting out/

Nope… My professor and a couple people with masters in programming said that.

Hm, well experts recommend this: Start out with a simple language: VB,VB.NET or Blitz BAsic, Then go to C#/XNA then C++ Actually I'm installing Visual Studio 2010 Proffessional (Legally free, beings a student rocks sox) So I'll have all that.

How hard would it be to convert this engine to VB2010?? or 2008?

That doesn't really matter, I use his flash thing as well and it doesn't do that to me, well until after I got the service pack for it.

Doh, :( I'm looking more od a odf file not a online tutorial

Without paying any money….

Well I'm tired of just looking at stuff trying to understand what I'm doing… How and what are you're suggestions of how to start learning this language? If you do not know how to use VB6 please do not answer this post. I'm looking for serious answers.

I think shopkeeper would have worked, but i'll stick to NPC Avoid it works nicely

Well I know that much but it doesn't have a default value… unless im blind. lol

I'm a bit tired so can you please put it in "retarded" form. lol I mean I'm using you're autoupdater… does it have a out of date thing is what you mean?

Yami's update doesn't work for me, Like I follow it to the tee, I'll get it to update but it doesnt go to the Launch form. I'm not sure why exactly because many people use it. But for odd reason it goes boom when I do.

All I can say is re download it. then run it as Administrator.

Hmm will ill try it okay thanks works like a charm

Actually the first thing I can just ask here the second one ill ask through pm if thats okay. Well I've managed to find something weird in quest system: (idk if its been listed already I kinda dont wanna read a wall of text) But after you complete a quests and go to the quests tab itll come up with a error "Eclipse Origins has stopped working…. etc etc"

I'd like to know if you can make a NPC stand still. Like I want a quest NPC to not roam around.

You know I loved the autoupdate that Robin provided, however I guess this should go into requests but i think this deals with both. Is there a way to make the server pick up the clients version and when someone tries to connect from a client version of say… 2 when the servers version... 3... When they try to login it would say something like this "This client is out of date, would you like to update it?" and the yes or no option and when you hit yes itll autorun Robin's autoupdater It shouldn't be that hard, right?

Ah, this is a good point…. Mind me asking you something through PM then?

I have a question, when I start my server it starts at frozen EXP rate, how do I change it to where It starts at normal EXP rate?

Well for all of you that has read this guys post I'm going to show you how to complete get rid of this option IP thing. I was messing around with it because I did not want that option at all or to not even show up Remote Hosting: Open you're client source and in modClientTCP find: ``` frmMain.Socket.RemoteHost = Options.IP ``` Change it to: ``` frmMain.Socket.RemoteHost = "yourno-ipname.com" ``` (I'm assuming you portforwarded everything and all is good) Now to completely REMOVE the option (This will prevent from rewriting it in your option.ini file) Open modDatabase and Find AND Remove all codes below: ``` Call PutVar(fileName, "Options", "IP", Options.IP) `````` Options.IP = "127.0.0.1" `````` Options.IP = GetVar(fileName, "Options", "IP") ``` Now the Port (so they cannot change the port, I'm not sure if this is actually "useful" but it puts my mind at-ease) Again in modClientTCP find: ``` frmMain.Socket.RemotePort = Options.Port ``` And make it ``` frmMain.Socket.RemotePort = "7001(or w/e port your using)" ``` Now to remove the option completely, in modDatabase find and remove the code listed below: (all of them!) ``` Call PutVar(fileName, "Options", "Port", Str(Options.Port)) `````` Options.Port = 7001 `````` Options.Port = Val(GetVar(fileName, "Options", "Port")) ``` You probably already know how to do this, But for the people who don't and don't want their client used for other games, this is helpful Credits: frankpetrov for the original one me for modifying it to completely remove the option

Yes I'm doing this cuz I did want to host on a No-IP of course and then make it to where no one can change the ip in the options file. I canged ``` frmMain.Socket.RemoteHost = Options.Port ``` to ``` frmMain.Socket.RemoteHost = "cstand.no-ip.org" ``` And it seems to no work. How exactly do I do this XD Actually somehow I fixed and I'm not quite sure how, oh well.

nah nevermind Its not exactly what I'm looking for. I don't understand how exactly he did it and its not even complete yet so it would be a waste of my time looking at a unfinish guild system Because Idk how to do the kick feature or anything. So help will still be appretiated please!

I see posts of it not being harmful… If you believe this you're an idiot. The pot you buy off the streets are harmful... They put extra shit in it its not just pot... Medical pot if you get your hands on it is the real deal so if you smoke that then ill agree with you. But you if you buy it off the streets you really need learn lol

From my experiance I'll list my opinion PHPbb = SMF > MyBB (the others I havn't used) PHPbb and SMF are about the same in my book, MyBB CAN be a little complicated to some (unless they fixed that since I last used it)
