There is a glitch I clearly remember.

Not asking, just wondering, in the future do you think you'll add Alatar's Quest System, or any other quest system? Also, do you have the checkpoint system? If not are you planning on implementing it? It's a very useful thing.

I find it amusing that VX is winning by so much.

I have no idea what features you want, so I have no idea what engine you should be using - I got lost on the multitude of eclipse engines ages ago, I couldn't tell you the difference between them. Okay, do you know anywhere I can start learning? I know some in VB.NET but I don't think that counts. By the way I think I'll just use Dragon Eclipse, I don't think he's planning on implemented a questing system into his engine and I need one. Sorry for bothering you with those questions. I just want a cool GUI, you know? Something new, something amazing and I know your the best here when it comes to designs. Don't worry I'll do some research and figure it out.

I'm just starting my game (actually currently looking for a mapper but don't know where to find one) called Assassins VS. Wizards: The Legacy of Awist (http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129134-wip-assassins-vs-wizards-the-legacy-of-awist/). I already mapped a few and I've been playing a bunch of games made by people and most used XP graphics and VX graphics (mostly XP) My point is, in your opinion, which one is better? And which should I use for my work in progress? In my opinion XP graphics are wonderful looking but misused by many but there is a large variety of them and you can make many different types of maps with them easily. But they are all over the place. VX graphics on the other hand look a bit better (in my opinion but maybe it's just because I've been looking at XP graphics too much) but there are much less of them (correct me if I'm wrong), or should I say, they are harder to come by? Also they aren't used as much. My point is, I have both of these graphics (packs) and I need to know which one I should use. I will use two ways to declare the winner, debate (in the form of reply) and poll (votes). Let the debating begin… or not....

Hey Devo! It's good that I already sent you my GUI folder but I'm just starting out with VB6 and I'm not entirely sure how to change the possession of buttons but would love that! Do you know of any tutorials I can read up? I would really like an entirely new GUI. That would be just awesome possum possum possum! I see imgButton in the source and it can be moved around, is that what I have to move around/resize for the GUI? (When I double click on them it shows me the correct code so I'm guessing that's right). I'm also wondering if I should switch my engine from Dragon Eclipse to Eclipse Advanced, it's a looks VS. features decision and I have no idea what to do because I need quests in my game which EA doesn't provide (and the tutorial is not even compatible with it, sadly). What do you think I should do Devo? I don't want you to do work for dragon eclipse if I will end up using Advanced so I'm asking you to decide for me. If you can design a really nice GUI for me (tell me where to move things around) I guess I can stick with Dragon Eclipse because it will look entirely different, right? I know your an amazing designer (as I've saw from all the free work you've done for the community) so I'm looking for your opinion.

56\. Because it's awesome possum!

Bumping this, I really need a mapper ASAP!

You can make a ship using RPG Maker tileset and then just make the map party only. Make a warp to exit the ship and it will take you to the destination.

I love how people are still replying to this.

> I do not wanna be rude bro but i said it X times in this topic - this is not overfeatured Dragon Eclipse, i wanna make bugfixed and stable Eclipse Nightly with shiny features and nice GUI By "overfeatured" are you trying to say that Dragon Eclipse is bad? It's pretty stable and bug-free as a matter of fact.

This looks interesting, going to try it later.

Thank you. I see what you did there. Instead of, "Check to see if player is in party" It now says, "Check to see if player with 0 access is in party.
