> Most things with Eclipse require VB6, except for the event system, which provides limited functionality but it useful for smaller tasks (such as the ones you would usually used scripting for). Would stuff explaining this be in the tutorial section? Or would it be better to ask someone directly? > Weapons are boring and few. Although it's an easier job to make few weapon types but have many recolors, it's boring and unpleasing for the players… ...Give players more variety if possible, each level should open up numerous new gameplay. noted, thanks for the input.

Would I have to download/purchase VB6? I am willing to learn and eventually convert and create the necessary graphics to the Eclipse Engine, I firmly believe this is a much better engine and community. I will most likely start a WIP thread in the next few weeks, and start reading up the tutorials to learn. (I am currently in the middle of a move with my pregnant wife, so I am a little busy) Any and all help explaining/teaching me the basics of this engine would be much appreciated, skype - anonydesigns

Glad to hear it. What I plan on doing is finishing up a complete version in XW, and then just start making it in eclipse, my biggest problem is i'm not sure how to access the scripting part of Eclipse, (I think I need VB6 but idk) i'd need a lot of help on the coding part.

Yeah I didn't know that back in 2008..

Hey everyone, below is an index to guide you through the post. I'd like to start off though by saying that this project was started in 2008 in Xtremeworlds, then paused for a long time. The project is now being rebooted and worked hard on. The project is being finished in Xtremeworlds, but I, as project director, would LOVE, to convert to Eclipse, but am unsure how, and what all that would take. If anyone has information that they can share to convert this project, or make a parallel system, (server on Xtremeworlds and an Eclipse server) please let me know in this thread. –------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:Index (1) - Index (2) - General Information (3) - Staff (4) - Features (5) - WIP (6) - Game Progress (7) - Lore (8) - Music (9) - Items (10) - Screen Shots (11) -FREE DOWNLOADS (12) - HIRING (13) - Coming Soon (14) - Closing –---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:General Information The name of the game is Paradiso Online, which is derived from the name of the main continent of the small planet that the game will take place on.

The gods, in an attempt to create the perfect paradise, a land without conflict or sin, gave life to this small planet, in a variety of different races of humans and animals. All seemed as if it were going according to plan when one day, out of nowhere, a reptillian, humanoid race, of unknown origins stumbled upon Paradiso. Little did the intended, created inhabitants know that these unknown creatures were previous experiments of their gods. These reptilian creatures, did not show up empty handed, for with them, came sin. The Mid-Early Years The reptillian, humanoids that appeared, now known as the ___________, began to lay siege to the inhabitants of Paradiso Island. Being a peaceful people, at first the inhabitants were not ready for such warfare, and cried to their gods in repentance and pleaded for assistance. At first the gods sent courage, and the ideas of warfare and defense to the inhabitants, but soon after realized that their attempt at creating perfection, had yet again, failed. The gods then quickly just stopped assisting, and just watched, learning from their mistakes, but not turning their back on the world. The inhabitants, now with the courage and knowledge to fight, grouped together in what is now the main city of the land, known as The Hub. The war has slowed down, and come to a stalemate, but there is still conflict between the inhabitants and the __________, and there is still sin across the land. Current Day The armies of the inhabitants have withdrawn to the city limits, recognizing the imminent stalemate, and are now just defending The Hub. In recent days however, the random attacks by the ___________ have picked up, and various other sins have been popping up across the lands. The city and religious leaders, in an attempt to gain favor in the eyes of the gods again, started to hire heros and adventurers to banish the sin from their once peaceful land. This is where your journey begins. –---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8:Music Here is one of the first drafts for a "Spooky Mine/Dungeon" done by our musician Gabriel Lochtefeld.

Does anyone have any blank templates to create custom graphics? (map,character,item?) Thanks.
