Go for it Sekaru, because not every one likes RPG Maker first of all. I don't see how this is going backwards. This is a development site, and so I see this as a project that is going to increase it and also give the community something else to try. In the end we all will download it and try it out. Even if we post discouraging comments about it. PS to the RPG Maker fanatics, at least this engine is free, and you learn to code using it.

Because i already have a company name. I just wanted to see what others came up with. -

Alright i will do that once i get home. -

Yeah i am just going to use that one. It has so many options. I look at it and shrink.
Anyway, Marshy Dearest do you have the express version with the sfml libraries installed? do you have tutorials on this you can post?
I followed the tuts on their website but i get errors every time. Already reinstalled the whole thing 5 times. The error still persists -

> Its all preference. I am sure either of the 3 will do the job fine. I havent used any of them so i cant really give information beyond that. Try looking them all up on wikipedia and checking which one is best for game making.
More people recommend sfml so i might look into it. it's just that sfml require VSC++ or CODEBLOCKS. -
> ofc opengl CAN handle transparency and for png-support there are libraries (libpng if i remember correctly). Also for fonts etc. so it can basically handle everything you need with the right libraries I think.

Thanks i will use that then. Do you know if it is usable wiht the Dev C++ ide? -
I quite remember some one released a version of it translated to java.
-
> I started trying some stuff with c++ some time ago and directly used sdl+opengl… It was a pretty easy to use combination for 2d-stuff (never got further into 3d). And I think SDL is what most people use (correct me if I'm wrong)

Hm that is what i want to do too but i read somewhere that it does not support .png and can't handle transparency. -
Hello i wanted to know for C++ game development which library is better.
SDL or Allegro or SFML.
Also if any of these are compatible with Dev C++ .(i am just use to Dev C++)
If you have other recommendations let me know. -
Pretty cool. I bet hundreds of people downloaded thise but none thanks you.

lol at this topic 
OT: okay to start things off, yes there are a lot of custom versions and most are pretty much tutorials put together or tutorials redone and then integrated into the engine. The fact of the matter is "Eclipse Members" hate custom stuff, they are so use to the regular ways of the Eclipse engine that only a "handfull, or the true coders" actually look on the custom things an engine has and appreciate them. With that said, most the custom engines are all about making eclipse run more effeciently, and thous they are eclipse with some of its codes redone.
I know there is alot of customs but the term custom on this board goes as far as how many tutorials there are or how good the coding is. -
nvm fixed.
-
any one have a copy of CSDE with the graphics engine fixed?
if so can you share the link? and direct me to a tutorial on fixing it. -
> I think Blk is right. You should be drawing with GDI onto controls and drawing DX8 onto the main form, that might fix your issue. I could be very wrong though.
Thanks i will try that -
This is pretty amazing. Good work, i must say you are really good at programming to recode everything.

i have a little problem with this code.
I am trying to load the pictures for my buttons from a folder but i am failling miserably.
