> Since when were making games supposed to be easy? The reason people keep asking for a quest system is either because they're too lazy to figure out how to make a quest with the event system or they just don't understand how limiting a quest system that you didn't program is. > > So let me get this straight… You all want Nyan to put Alatars quest system in ER even though you can't program, which in actuality, is going to hurt your game more then help. I mean, seriously, who is going to want to play your game when there are a ton of other games with exactly the same features? If you guys haven't noticed, games made with Eclipse don't get very popular or stay alive for very long and one of the biggest reasons is because 9 out of 10 games are all the same! Name one game that has been around or even lasted a while and I can guarantee you that game wasn't made with tutorials from around here and most likely didn't use Alatars quest system. > > Just think about it. How many Eclipse games did you all take the time to play? Now how many of those games did you stick with? Now what drew you to that game, was it the fact that they had every single tutorial from the tutorial section added or was it because it looked like it had some cool NEW features? Okay. I didn't know this meant the world to some people. Guess I wont start off as noob and Ill just start by learning how to be a pro coder first. What would it actually hurt to put it in? (not that I care for your answer to this) If someone didn't like it they could simply remove it or change to their liking. A custom version is not something people just start from scratch on. They are usually "CUSTOM" and contain features. But no worries. I will learn some code and make my own custom version because since when is using someone elses custom version un-original in the first place… If you use a custom version you are obviously using someone elses work in the first place so what would it matter if he added them... "Just think about it." Edit: > If you guys haven't noticed, games made with Eclipse don't get very popular or stay alive for very long and what we all will be asking ourselves when we read this is " Then why is he here?" or "Why is he even using eclipse?"

> So use one of the hundreds of other alternative quest systems on the site. That's my problem. I don't know how to install and have tried MANY times.

> I find it completely hilarious how we're posting tips and suggestions, and the initial poster hasn't replied or done anything to this thread xD Agreed!  We silly fellers… Oh well It's good to help out no matter what haha. Edit: LOL @ Abhi2011

Anyway Nyan, I was just suggesting you add these into ER within the next update. Thanks

Thanks for your input Stein and everyone. I am currently at school but I will be on in a few hours. Then we can try to get this to work haha

> Eclipse Reborn is basically a fixed CS:DE with some features but yes it is a good engine. Yes. Could maybe add more features for noob coders such as myself but apart from being a "fixed version" as others may call it. It is a well developed engine.

> Will everybody PLEASE stop saying that ._. > > it's not able to do that, if you did, it would be an infinite quest…just do the damn quest system tutorial... Thanks for understanding  haha

> this event system is incomplete with a lot of bugs, don't compare this with RPG maker's one. > > You can NOT make quests with eclipse event system, maybe just some easy boring things. Plus, aside from that. I wasn't talking about RPG Maker. And yes, you may be able to add an infinite quest with events but I already said that I knew that you could do this meaning, I do not like that and would rather have the quest system where quests are SUPPOSE to be made.

> Hmm. I think you should be a little more patient. People are not going to offer any help to someone who they think may rush them. Yea sorry… going through a rough time with the gf haha. Won't happen again.

> Oh you can. Okay thanks for the help

> Ah. I assumed that was what all Engines use frmLogin as the name of the login form. My apologies. > > Basically, just go to the form that you want the custom cursor to be use on, set the icon in properties, and make it a custom one (99). So couldn't I just do it to all of them?

> [http://www.favicon.cc/](http://www.favicon.cc/) > > Make an icon here ^. Go into your client, and go to frmMain. Look in your form properties for the property "Icon". Click on it and find your icon that you made in the website above. Do the same with frmLogin. > > EDIT: Forgot the last thing. Look for the MousePointer property in both frmMain and frmLogin. Change it to 99. What if we don't have frmLogin file…

> Also were is the one with bad english and stuff mind giving me a link? http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/130618-change-cursor-and-game-icon/#entry867870 If you figure this out please describe it to me in idiot terms 

> Yeah I need this too if you find anything tell me my friend did it on his game not sure how though well x-friend not friends anymore though. I will make sure to tell you! 

I know there has got to be a way to change the in-game cursor. I believe there is a post on this already but they were not very descriptive and did not speak very well English I am assuming. If someone could please give me a DETAILED tutorial, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Synister

Sorry for the double post but I still have received 0 help with this and was wondering if someone could help me today?

> Could you release a tutorial on how to intro when it shows some stuff then in fades in into the login screen I had the same issue with this. Go into client/data files/graphics/surfaces and open with your preferred image editor. Hope this helps!

Recommended features for next update: Quest System- (Yes, I am fully aware you can make quests using the events.) Guild System- Pet System- (Sorry to all that this may irritate… I am not very good with code and don't get me wrong. I definitely want to learn more so I can do these on my own.) Thanks, Synister

> Your looking for an engine? There are lots of engines out there. But some of them are of pratically no use. They are just EO's with alot of tutorials in it. You could try some of these custom engines. > > ``` > > Dragon Eclipse > > Eclipse Advanced > > Eclipse Reborn > > Eclipse Nightly (3.0) This doesn't have much added into. Just an EO 2.3 but uses D3D8 for rendering and has GDI+ support. > > ``` I definitely recommend Eclipse Reborn. I have made this my main source for developing my game. Nice GUI and great features.

I recommend maybe posting the story line you have and what type of project you are interested in pursuing. Maybe the genre and what you plan on doing with your project.

Is anyone willing to help me with this tonight/today?

> Alright i see that your very interested on that Guild system , i can help you … I will download the Eclipse Reborn and added the Scott Guild System is that what you want? Yes please. !!! That would be great. I also need pet system but I can do that in the future. you should add me on skype Sherwin. Username: jefferylittle Edit: Question. When do you think you would be done?

I would like to put a guild system into my game. I am using the custom version of Eclipse called "Eclipse Reborn" By: Nyan. I have no exp. with vb6 and have never added any type of mod to eclipse before. It would be nice for someone to do this for me but I could never ask that of anyone. If someone could put a guild system into my game for me that would be great but mainly I would just like for some help or at least somewhere to start and IM over Skype and get it in my game. I am not necessarily recruiting a team member here but just need to get that guild system working. If someone could help me out that would be great. Also, if there is something wrong with this post or need to add more info, please feel free to let me know. -Thanks, Synister

> I experienced this issue as well, cause is the admin panel, pres insert and it will be normal again. So for regular players this will not happen?
