The concept art is awesome! I love originality, I will be keeping a close eye on this project - seems very interesting. 
-
Negatives:
* Website doesn't appear to be working which means that the auto-updater won't work yet you still continue to update the client it-self.
* 000Webhost is one of the worst web hosting providers available, if you want to be professional then I suggest buying a web host rather than a free one.
* You need to give credit where it is needed.
* The name 'EatenBrain' is awful and it's almost the same as enterbrain.
* Unoriginal content
* Description is terrible "hang out with friends, kill some monsters and prepare unique events…" no need for me to tell you why.
* Your Grammar is hard to describe without using bad language, it makes your game look unprofessional.
* You don't listen to advice and I'm trying to work out why i'm even posting this/
Positives:
* Mapping isn't too bad
* Updates are regular.
Improvements:
* Refine your english writing skills.
* Get a new team (your current team seems to have failed to point out the errors I have)
* New host (preferably a paid one)
* Give credits
* Rewrite story
* Create some original features
* Create some custom sprites
* Use a variety of trees (I can see only one type of tree being used in screenshot one too many times) -

Thank you. -
Please don't post if you're not even going to bother reading the main post.

a BitBait production.
I am posting this thread because I am in need of work for the development of Venatus (an upcoming ORPG game) I am not skilled in programming and I am taking the time in learning it but I will need YOUR help to make this game reality. If you join the team you will be given free VIP membership (in-game) and have the rank of staff. The release date of Venatus is unknown but it has been predicted that it will be released in a few months.
The current positions are available:
Programmer (priority is high)
Pixel Artist
There isn't a specific amount of hours you are required to do but the more you can do the better. Unfortunately payment isn't an option yet (So it's just volunteer work) but in the foreseeable future there may be cash rewards for those who helped in the development.
Current plans:
>! The server will be hosting on a dedicated server.
>!
>! Quests
>! Side-scrolling
>! Base eclipse origins features (such as party, trade)
>! Easy to use GUI interface
>! Currently Directx7 (needs converting to Directx8

paste the line of code that it's highlighting please

> I think the best ones are from Alienware.
No way.
If you could give us an idea of how much you would spend then that would be helpful, also what would you be using it for? Video rendering or gaming
^ Seriously, I need some glasses, I suggest you take a look on pcspecialist.co.uk - if you're not from the UK it doesn't matter as you can get an idea of what kind of laptop you want and it can give you a huge range of options to select from and even the prices! -
Or take this engine and take the time and effort in coding the things you want yourself.
-
What are you trying to 'visually' edit? buttons, the GUI layout?
-
That makes a lot of sense! Thank you 
-
Yeah I know how to do that it's just getting it to only become visible in a certain map or when someone first joins the game. 
-
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:

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
