I'm slowly learning VB6 and i'd like if it someone could guide me in the right direction, how would I make a picture box visible when someone enters a certain map or joins the game for the first time?  Thank you.

Yeah a lot of games that I have played feel like a chore after about 5 minutes.

Thank you for sharing 

I had this problem, I went on my old laptop with a different edition of windows and it worked perfecto, It's something to do with windows 7, I think the way to fix it is to install a new OS (yes I know this sounds painful, but I spent days trying to work out why it wouldn't work with windows 7 and the only way I could find a solution was by using a different OS) don't worry it's not your fault it's microsofts, I suggest getting windows XP or update windows 7 to service pack 1 if you have not already ( thats one solution I never tried) Edit: just re-read what you said and you say that it crashes with one engine but not the other, my new solution is to update direct x

Before you post things such as 'Originality', 'Good storyline' or 'Fun Quests' remember that posting things like this won't help but if you could possibly expand on your posts then that will be wonderful. I made this thread as I am developing a game but i'd like to know what YOU seek in an eclipse game, I already know what I like to see and I already have things planned but it would be great to hear(or say I shall read) your opinions. Thank you

How can i change the button to bring up the quest, I have all my settings set correctly but when ever i click ctrl while on the npc it doesn't bring up the quest box

Perfect thank you 

Couldn't find what you meant so I uploaded the files: http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/e5a4dbce024051b12eb1d473aa45f04c.rar

Hello, I've been looking through the code and I can't find anything wrong with it, I also tried some apparent "solutions" but I still get the same error. The error I get is a run time error (9) subscript out of range and it highlights "If NPC(npcNum).QuestNum = i Then" I use Project Vertigo and this started when I added Alatar's Quest system (which doesn't work as NPC's don't want to give me the quest.)

I fixed it, just having a slight problem in-game, npc doesn't want to give me the quest, most likely just me, I made the npc a quest giver and set which quest but doesn't appear to be giving a quest, unless i'm doing something wrong. 

did that and I read through the tutorial again and i am getting this now compile error variable not defined and highlights this: npcNum

i have runtime error (9) error highlights this: CopyMemory ByVal VarPtr(NPC(n)), ByVal VarPtr(NpcData(0)), NpcSize

No recommendations for Project Vertigo? 

Eragon what if you wanted the pet thing to move? Like for example I want to change the layout and I encounter the resolution issue, is there no way around thia

Hello, I'm requesting a simple GUI layout, there is no theme and pictures aren't needed as I can make them myself but it's just the GUI layout I need (the main one not the menu one) I'm using project vertigo 1.1.2 and Id like the entire picscreen to cover the background and for everything else to sit on top of that, I'd like the buttons to be places at the top along with the hp, experience and sp bar to be, I'd like the dialog boxes to be placed on the right hand side and I would love the chat box to be on the bottom left next to the key bar which is on the bottom right. Thanks

Hello, I'm attempting to redesign my interface (main), I know exactly how to do it but as soon as I resize picScreen and test it, it crashes my laptop but everything else is fine. also how do I place the buttons, hp, experience and gold bar above the picScreen  thanks. I'm using project vertigo 1.1.2 if that is any help.

I may base my game on this

You have not installed the library files from the main post, you cant now because link is broken -.-

libraries download link is broken pls reupload

This has so much more potential, can I add any scripts to it like the quest system with no hassle (like copy and pasting code) or does it require some good coding skills :\

Thanks guys, I'll be looking into more VPS options and i'll reconsider port-forwarding.

Hello world, i'd like to know if this is okay to run a eclipse server on a linux vps Disk Space **10** GB Total: **4**CPU **512** MB RAM 1 IP address **Unlimited** Traffic Based on OpenVZ Remote Management ubuntu 12 and if so, could i possibly have help setting it up? i have never ever ran a vps before.
