@Eckhart: > Make the walls of the cave more curvy, use fewer of those two block tall spires. Find some more rock tiles that you can spread out in the cave. Try terracing your cliffs so one wall has little lower cliffs jutting out of it. Google RMXP caves if you need some more inspiration. I've tried to make the cave look more curvy, but it ends up looking choppy. I'm not sure how to make a large map look smooth. I used XW for a number of years and if you are familiar with that engine then you will understand why I can't map large areas well lol.

Getting that error 

I'm getting this error. I have added all of the src already and rechecked the code. Not sure what's going on

These are included in VB6 SP6\. But if it's not there, the components will be replaced with Picture Boxes. Obviously you cannot use picture boxes as a socket, so you are unable to compile (VB6 tells you that a picture box doesn't have the ability to establish a connection, and it's right). I don't know why but that made me laugh, I guess the mental image of throwing a picture at coding and being like "WORK!" Thanks for the explanation though. You will probably see me annoying the heck out of the forums for the next few months as I like to ask a lot of questions.

@Whack: > Make an icon, save is as .ico, save into your graphics folder, open client in VB6, go to project properties I believe, then change the frmMain icon and frmMenu icon to the icon in your graphics folder. I can find the place to edit the icon in properties but there is no way ti important a new one, it just has a drop down menu.

@Soul: > Try installing it again. Make sure you redownload the source code after you do so as well. Re-download src files for the client? (The server works fine with vb so I assume it's just the client) May I ask why? I'm always curious about these things.

How exactly does this work? When I download it there is no option for running a program, only a vb file. I assume I have to compile it myself after editing something? Edit: NVM I went ahead and compiled it and it gave me a working program. I'm just curious exactly for which engines this will work? For example can I go from EO2.3 to Nightly 3.0 ?

He asking if there is a way to stream music server sided to the client.

@Erwin: > I already explained it because TheChoosenOne had thesame question. Does this work for any version of eclipse?

Gratz. Looking forward to reading the email!

@TheChoosenOne: > Didn't Soul's post tell you to install VB6 SP6? Or is just that you can't read? :P > Download and install VB6 SP6 and install it. I have SP6 installed already @Soul I am assuming it didn't install correctly then. So I just install it over again? Nothing special? I follwed the install guide exactly the first time, running as admin in comp mode

Either way do you know why I am getting an error when opening the client?

Can you explain exactly what this does?

@TheChoosenOne: > Or torrent it shh :p

@Adminko: > I have VB10 , procedure is the same ??? You must have vb6

@General: > Interesting, this is what i think of when i say a 'Man Cave' > >  So basically I need a couch and this map is fine? Why didn't I think of that?

@General: > Make it look random. > > Caves never look so simple, unless its a MAN CAVE! Well this is sorta a man cave. This is man-made according to the lore and bandits to inhabit it.

@General: > Use image tags > > Also, it seems rather boring to me. Try adding in some more detail and make it seem more natural. As I said I know it's boring lol :P what would you suggest to make it look more natural? And I didn't use image tags because it's huge, I didn't want to blow someone's screen up.

So I have been working on just a small transition cave from the human city of Marce to the orcish outskirts. Honestly it looks sort of boring. I'm not the best mapper and I would love tips to improve it. [http://i49.tinypic.com/24mgu4y.jpg](http://i49.tinypic.com/24mgu4y.jpg) Indirect link because it is a full screenshot.

So I can edit things server side fine but when I open the client side I get this error; 

@TheChoosenOne: > I don' think this would affect the server because the server doesn't need OLE. > OLE is a database ActiveX control. So this is nothing that's randomly going to blow up my server one day?

So I just ..umm.. "bought" VB6 and when I open my server in it I get this error. Should I strive to fix it or not? If I hit ok it lets me continue editing. 

@Soul: > The resources sometimes error out. I don't know exactly why, but I've always suspected it happens when you place down a resource before pressing "save" on the popup to select the resources. Can you try replicating it like that? Before I test this, is there anyway to edit out a resource while unable to operate the client? Because last time it glitched as I said further up I couldn't even start the server.

@ZeoWorks: > Hmm, thats odd.. Did you do any source edits? or are you using a custom eclipse version? ^_^ No source edits and it's the default version.
