Yeah lets go with Marsh's two week thing, If we unban them as soon as they ask, there is no bite to the ban.

I like the script store idea, but I would think anyone could sell there script there, as long as it was approved, That way no duplicate scripts, or thing that might break the engine. I also like Mad Hatters poll concept..

Seth has been permanently banned for the good of the site, and by popular demand. -
you may in fact sell stuff within your game, or your game itself, You may not sell the engine itself.

That's right I am giving Free banner ads for any Eclipse game made with EO 4 silver or gold. The graphic should be 1000 x 200 you should include a link to the client or webpage of your game. Please send graphic and link to [email protected]

Over the next few weeks, I will be spending much more time around here. I have just been bust with life. I will dispell some rumors and bring you all up to date here on the current state of eclipse and eclipse V. Plain and simple the lack of funds is what has slowed down both game engines. JC rightfully so has the right to make a living, JC kept working on the engines even when I did not have the funds to pay him. However there is a limit to the time JC can spend on the engine without getting paid. I have thrown around alot of ides in my mind, on this. I have made a decision to try Steam Greenlight. The infusion of that kind of player/ game maker base, would give us the capital needed to finish V and do some more updates on 4.0\. Many people think that V will totally replace 4.0, I don't think that will be the case for some time, as they are totally different platforms. In the next day or so I will have more info on the Greenlight project. I could use some help makin game play and game building videos, if you can help please PM me. First and foremost I would like to see Eclipse flourish. Many people have said that this is about me making money off of Eclipse, this is not true, I want to make enough money to be able to develop Eclipse to it full potential. At this point I don't think I could ever break even on the money I have spent trying to make the engine better. To be very honest sometimes I feel like a target for flaming, and at times very alone.

Custom font
in Q & A
[10/20/2014 3:40:32 PM] JC Snider: I didn't program the font system, it was completely done by Robin and I have not touched it since. With that said, here is the program he told people to change fonts with. [http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/](http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/) I've never used it so I don't know how it works or how well it works. -
Gui editor is part of the gold package,

No I am sorry we don't support the attack sprite sheets.

Ok, I will chime in here and let you see what goes through my mind, and I am open to suggestions. First off the idea of charging for eclipse, was and still is not to make money. It was simply to pay to have some programming done, and get a more robust version of the engine out there. There is no "profit" happening. On average the site pays for itself. There is no way I could ever recoup the cost of the coding that went into 4.0\. I have thought of making 4.0 open source. JC simply does not have the time to support it. I would like to add that according to Robin eclipse was never "open source" Someone posted his source code and it was off to the rodeo. That being said, I didn't remove the "open source" versions that were on the site. We did remove some versions that JC felt had nothing to offer, or were redundant with other versions.
As far as silver vs gold goes, gold was meant to be a version for people that wanted to make a commercial game. If someone makes money off of my investment or hard work, why should I not be entitled to a piece of that pie. So far I have not even seen a game that maxed out the silver limits much less the gold versions. What I have not done, which is my fault if make a document that fully explains what 4.0 can do. The zone system in 4.0 is very powerful, and few if anyone knows what it can do.
The reason for closed source was not to stunt development, but rather to have a stable engine, not 20 versions that crashed all the time.
V will come along as I can afford it. we just made a huge improvement that reduced server start time from 5 minutes to 9.7 seconds. We are taking our time to make sure that the core is stable, and fast.
As far as banning goes, the bans that have been made were primarily because of rudeness. When I was a lurker on the site " for about two years" I saw person after person ran off the site, by "members" who were not programmers and not interested in making games. So please tell me what function those people had other than grieving people. I have banned some people for unwarranted personal attacks. I wouldn't let someone come to my house and attack me or my family, and the same goes here.
As for this being like Russia, or no free speech, this is not a country, but a website and that does not apply here. With that being said, I can take healthy criticism, but when it degrades to personal attacks there is just no reason for it.
What I would truly love to see is a community where people come and play, and make games, while supporting each other in that endeavor.
I have even thought of doing V as a Kickstarter type project, so that it could be free to the masses, and let people sell scripts here on the site.
I would love to hear constructive criticism. Not so much that I am just a greedy jerk.
At the end of the day I too am just a fan of the game engine, trying to do what I can to make it better. I have learned that not everyone can be made happy. If I payed people to download the engine, some would still complain! lol.
Just a fun fact about 4.0, as of today there are 14,603 registered free versions of 4.0 -

I was in fact the person, who banned him on day one. How ever I did not "reban" him yesterday, my guess is that it was JC. -
