So I have not been on this site since Robin was kick'en it with 2.0 So my questions is, does this new version still use VB6 or is it is it compatible with a newer version. Also… If you have been a member since the days of Robin, could you tell me some of the best features you can think of that have been added since then :) Cheers in advance.

Sorry buddy can't offer no advice on v3 Didn't even know these forums supported it. IMOP use the trusted version

> I'm thinking about getting a mac because I turned on my laptop yesterday it gave me a blue screen said it couldn't start than I restarted it took 15 minutes but then it finally logged in. My laptop only lasts about 2-3 years I was told and it's about done for. So i'm going to get a macbook pro because those last a long time. Theres a program called VMware Fusion for macs and I guess it runs windows xp. Would I be able to run the server and test it with the client using this? Duel boot buddy, VMware was designed for windows. The mac version is like giving a 14 year old a gun, chances are problems will occur. Shrink your partition and run a Duel Boot that way u can have a Mac with iOS and also have a Non virtual, bootable windows. Virtual machines take up a bit of resource and Mac don't relly make tough machines.

The only things I messed around with here modConstants in both client and server. > >  Hey, it's been quite a few months but if I remember correctly there may be a vie port. Also by the looks of things u have made ur screen bigger, make sure there are no spawning objects that u can't see in the Main form.

It relly depends on the type of style, Are you also looking for making effects, if so I suggest Fruty Loops. Sony has s free music creating software i think. There is also an online music creater witch is supprisingly good. Cant remeber the name so you will have to google it. This site offers more than music creation so if you stumble across a website like that than thats it.

Not to sure about that last post but I did run into the same issue trying to put this on my old spare laptop that had XP. Took me a while to work it out but all you gotta do is close the app and server then move the folder to C: drive and run it. Once you have done that you can move it back to my documents and continue as expected. I think this is a XP related issue only because I only had this problem when installing on XP If that didnt work then download the orgional folder to c: so it has to create a new registry for it. Then you can continue with opening from MY DOCUMENTS. Hope this helped.

find out what IP address it is then in windows go START * run * cmd * press enter * type: ping "the IP address here" * if you get a response then all is G after that check that the port settings are correct. If the game is trying to connect to the rong port then you jelly mushed and it wont connect. I hope this has helped.

> Oh. You meant you couldn't use VB. Lol > > Thanks I DO know vb thank you. I just didn't understand that part that he rote And I just realized that the complement was not 2 u it was to the other guy

> Change: > > ``` > > Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 14 > > Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 11 > > ``` Along with changing this you have to change the picScreen width and height witch you can find in the objects property's inVB. Btw to avoid Screen tear, Win7 areo disable, and proportion issues do this…. 1\. Divide the width and height individualy by 32, then change the property's Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 14 Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 11 To that number minus 1. 2\. Make sure that the number you decide does not come to a decimal. If it does u got problems An easy way to find a native number is to use your calculator and do 32+32= and keep hitting equals till the number gets close to the screen attribute u want and use tht number an a dimension for ur resolution. I don't know if this is what u were trying to do or not.... Btw sometimes you have I delete all your maps and start again to do this Peece

> It opens the website that you want with the default browser I suppose rather than opening it with IE. Yea I got that part but I ment that I can't read the code and see how it does this…. It was a complement 2 u BTW

> Ok i will do that later.. I'm very busy with something else right now! Thx for reply! No worries XD

> It's a better idea to open the default browser instead. As shown in [this article](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224816), the code looks somewhat like: > > ``` > Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _ > > "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _ > > ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _ > > ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long > > Private Sub WebsiteButton_Click() > > Call ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", "http://www.google.com/", _ > > vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormal) > > End Sub > ``` > > Yours faithfully > > S.J.R. van Schaik. Wow that's a long code XD no idea how it works but it looks fancy :)

I believe I had troubled trying to work out how to sell stuff. I think you have to click the sell button then double click the item u want to sell and repete that for each item you want to sell. Is this helpfull? If its a coding error you can send me the game and I'll have a geez. But only if it's the base event system. I don't want to be accused stealing pplz codes and ideas, XD

Yea I forgot to mention that. I still haven't got home from work so I can't check but if I remember correctly there is a website button on the login screen in 2.3 and maybe 2.7… If my theory didn't work just check the script on that button.

Creat a new button named cmdWeb and code this Private Sub cmdWeb_click () Shell ("Explorer YOUR WEBSITE") End Sub This should work… If that does then close it and don't save. Then open vb back up and try double clicking the origional button. Delete the code and place previous code in. Im just not to sure if you will get a compile error if you edit the origional button. BTW make sure you go "run with full compile" when u test it. If this doesn't work then PM me and I will sus it out when I get home from work and give you the proper way. XD

I want to make the characters use a .png file format instead so when you go to create a new character it doesn't show the green bum candy around it. I would just change the background colour of the image to the menu but i will be using a gradient and imaged background in the menu.

not sure but i think the app lets you do it from what i saw. not 100% though. Im in dept with iTunes 32cents so i cant download apps yet.

very good point, thank you for the insite

thx edit: Just like to say that i worked it out. It will turn a .cur file to black and whit but if you use a .ico file than it will keep the colour. (but, the .ico cant be 32-bit with alpha) just 32-bit or below… 

Just out of curiosity, why is eclipse running on such an old VB platform? I understand that E was probably made when everything was VB6 but wouldn't it be practical to upgrade.? The amount of time spent upgrading versions of E could be spent into converting to a new VB witch would offer users more features and compatibility. (I'm not trying to tell the team how they should be delegating there time, i think what they do is amazing as is) Just a though, as i sit here thinking to myself why am i researching and trying to learn such an old version of VB XD

what sort of event should I use so it keeps refreshing the code, or maybe a Do Loop?

Ok soI had a look online a bit more and found out that VB6 doesn't support coloured cursors. It will automatically change it to black and white. I have an idea you might be able to clarify… When I used to use GameMaker7 and I wanted a custom cursor I would turn of the mouse visibility and code the following. { \\sprMouse is the sprite\\ sprMouse.x = mouse_x; sprMouse.y = mouse_y; } is ther something like this I could do, maybe?

Hey guys, just a quick one when i open the main form and make a custom cursor it comes out black and white… does anybody know why it does this and how to fix it. XD thx in advance

haha thats funny, well thanks for your help…Ill be waiting

without prying to much and being nosy. Do you have a rough idea? like more or less than a couple of months
