I am trying to install this on Dragon Eclipse(Nightly Dx8) - the underlined text is red for me and I get a Syntax Error upon compile (in mod database): Sub SetPlayerWoodcuttingXP(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal WoodcuttingXP As Long) If Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Sub Player(Index).WoodcuttingXP = WoodcuttingXP End SubSub SetPlayerMiningXP(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal MiningXP As Long) If Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Sub Player(Index).MiningXP = MiningXP End SubSub SetPlayerFishingXP(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal FishingXP As Long) If Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Sub Player(Index).FishingXP = FishingXP End Sub UPDATE: Turns out theres a typo in the tutorial: End SubSub SetPlayerMiningXP(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal MiningXP As Long) for example should be End Sub Sub SetPlayerMiningXP(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal MiningXP As Long) and so on, no biggie.  This *WORKS* perfectly on Dragon Eclipse (Nightly) Dx8

Been looking for some tutorials in particular to no avail: 32x32 Map Grid option Eye Dropper Map Editor-Object Rendering Thanks for reading and any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: I got this to work, musthave misfollwed a step, just reinstalled and it worked i believe. Followed this guide: [http://www.touchofde…760-ea-minimap/](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129760-ea-minimap/) (EA) Minimap which is is Iheros Minimap system for EO converted to work with EA - although I have read it should work for Nightly Dx8 versions, The original Minimap was Dx7 was trying to install minimap onto **dragon eclipse** and came across the following error upon compile(in modGraphics) Sub or function not defined ' Render the bars DrawBars Z (note: the 'Z' is what is highlighted) Was also alil confused where it said In modGraphics find ``` For I = 1 To Action_HighIndex Call DrawActionMsg(I) Next I ``` NOTE: For the above step for a FIND in modGraphics is anything neccasary or do i just leave it alone? in Render Graphics and under it add ``` ' Render the minimap DrawMiniMap ``` (NOTE: For the above step for a UNDER ADD in Render Graphics… is this the "Render_Graphics" Sub or is it something else? also where would i put this if this is the render_graphics sub?) UPDATE: to make this work for dragon eclipse as it comes as of the time o this posting I had to in modGraphic - FIND and REMOVE - IF you are using a custom version of dragon eclipse that uses the admin stealth addition then you leave this alone. ``` And (Not GetPlayerVisible(i) = 1 Or i = MyIndex) ```

Is there a tutorial for the "MapEditor selection rendering"? (I'm pretty sure this is where it shows what your selection is on the map as you select it in the editor)?

> Will it work with EA? > > It looks like code will be fine fine, but what about form work? I tried this in EA i believe and got some errors, I DID have this work in dragon eclipse 3.0 Dx8 perfectly but when i tried a second time it didn't work right either, Justn actually teamviewed me and got it to work but i lost that copy somehow - Not sure if they updated the tutorial to fix all of the bugs they worked out on the copy I had. IF anyone figures out how to get this working properly and/or even manages to get it to work alil faster and/or more efficiently or adds new features, they should definitely include tutorial(s) on the implementation process as well as any updates so that folks who already have it can just make the needed changes and folks who get bugs can work them out.

> It is white becouse that picbox cleared to white by DX8. Was it made to be that way or is it a bug? many other Dx8 versions dont have that effect with Dx8\. In any case, thanks for reading and as I said, you have done an epic job with this engine so far. I shall continue to watch and look out for the next release. =]

In map editor the items appear to be on a white background, although this doesn't affect the ultimate outcome (when i place it it looks fine) - is this a bug? is this becuase I a using .pngs? Also - when i click the 'bosses' scrollbar I get an error. Can't wait to see this engine get full on workable, I like the new layout. Personally I would really like to see a Projectile, Quest, Guild and Crafting and/or skills systems added. Epic job on this engine.

I saw the OP of the eclipse advanced post saying he was looking to delete the post for EA and pull the plug on EA to work on another project related to eclipse origins ; Therefor I am posting the features for EA (for reference) since EM is based off of it: **EA features** [For EA - Which EM is based off of.]: Completely new event system Developer Suite Help Center Effect system (particles) D3D8 Graphical User Interface New animation rendering (now multi-lines are supported) New server layout Fresh new news system (news box is displayed when player logins into games) with news editor New epic projectile system (homing-target shooting) 2-Handed weapons (used Handed as Byte value, what was already in engine in ItemRec, but never used) Real defence for Armors Map Panoramas Shadows WASD movement Multiple MapNPCs can be set at one time Stackable items Semi-transparent trees Random tile placement On-Attack flash Optionable 3 frame movement (via Public Const VXFRAME as Boolean) Chatbubble attack-say New Map Properties layout Eye Dropper 32x32 Map Editor grid Fading Out for Blood Fading Out for ChatBubble **fixes/optiizations** [For EA - Which EM is based off of.]: Removed CSearch and everything what has to do with it, now Target searching is done client side and then right target is sent to server via CTarget packet Cleaned frmEditor_Item a bit Removed Mastery as Long from ItemRec, becouse it was never used Rendering Overhaul Many things from UDTs moved to Temp(UDT_Name) modGlobals Cleanup Enumerated Server Player Message fix Sound tile fix Client side HandleDataSub fix Hotbar fix Attack sounds fix Ban system fix Spell vital scalling Removed (Change array size) buttons, becouse they wasn´t working Removed 32k limit for Item Price (changed scrollbar to textbox) Removed 32k limit for Item Damage (changed scrollbar to textbox) Eclipse Advanced v3.0.20 New epic projectile system (homing-target shooting) Removed CSearch and everything what has to do with it, now Target searching is done client side and then right target is sent to server via CTarget packet Added 2-Handed weapons (used Handed as Byte value, what was already in engine in ItemRec, but never used) Added real defence for Armors Cleaned frmEditor_Item a bit Removed Mastery as Long from ItemRec, becouse it was never used Merged modParticles with normal Eclipse modules and removed it Merged modEvents with normal Eclipse modules and removed it Added Fading Out for blood Added Fading Out for chatbubbles Removed 32k limit for Item Price (changed scrollbar to textbox) Removed 32k limit for Item Damage (changed scrollbar to textbox) Fresh new news system (news box is displayed when player logins into games) with news editor Changelog [For EA - Which EM is based off of.] >!

Why you are giving normal players of your game access to all your editors in exe file? So for these reasons in this version of EA i made 2 Exes. One is called Developer suite, and it has all editors etc, but only when player access is highter than normal, he can login to that suite. And another exe is normal version, but without all editors. So to your normal players, give this normal exe, and for mods etc give them Developer Suite. >! Another thing what i added is new Map Report and i fixed some event system bugs. >!

My event system do not have support for Parallel events or Move Routes, but it have all other commands from JCs one and some additional commands too.

I am going to upload the project (all it is is a brand new dragon eclipse + Mini Map + the Dynamic Crafting System) - Sign in and go into admin panel and then check out : Frmeditor_ map / item / main. (Both code AND window - Open it in VB6 and launch from VB6 (debug as needed): It will temporarily be at : 68.43.175.133/decraft (on a private server - no worries - Re-uploaded it to INCLUDE the minimap (which works perfectly) at 11:04 pm on 11/13/2012 - DO NOT download this thinking this is a working version - once soe one can help me fix the crafting system I will add some more functions and stuff and probably put an extended version of dragon eclipse up sometime-) If you can show me what I'm doing wrong I would be ever so appreciative. =P

> change the & to just the & sign ._. Though I am new - I actually considered doing that. I'll give it a shot. [Update 2 -> still needs to be fixed - it says : "SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE" ]  [Update 1 -> resolved- i think]: It worked and I can get in, Now i get this error when opening the map editor: 

I get a Syntax Error upon signing into the client after installing dynamic crafting system, although I know this works on this setup for-sure. Its the same as last time - except this time its on a fresh version of Dragon Eclipse. 

Is this for the Dynamic Crafting System?

:sorry about double post:

would be epic to see this grown, perhaphs into something that would allow folks to assign "faction-classes" to selected npc's (example: have a "zombies a" faction for a certain type of zombies) and to be able to gain or lose faction (and in turn be in higher or lower standing with whichever set of npc's the affected faction is set to effect ; "Your standing with Zombies-A has gotten better/Your standing with Zombies-A has gotten worse!").) - this would open the door to faction quests and so fourth. Would be cool to have factions affect which mobs the player kills and which mobs try to kill the player (while still having some regular mobs/npcs which are associated with no faction and would operate as npcs do now without any faction on them set.)

Ertzel connected to me view teamviewer and he did a bunch to fix the EM engine, Quests still looks bugged but I'm sure he will make a release once he gets enough done to put something out. Just want to thank Ertzel for his help and contributions to the community - just pm me with whenever you would want to teamview again. Looks epic s far! =]

> That is not Ertzels fault, thats mine, but i fixed it in EA already. I just forgot to add there sub for random placement, i just added button  Did you post a fix? I went to the eclipse advanced page and it hasn't had a post since 11/4/2012\. If possible could you post the fix there/here? =P, Thanks for reading. I would like to recommend both of you implement the Dynamic Crafting System, The tutorial hasn't been updated in alil bit but it DOES work with Eclipse Origins 3.0 Nightly Dx8 - Justn worked on it over teamviewer on my project and actually got it working with Eclipse Origins 3.0 Nightly Dx8! Its great- check it out - that would make these versions of eclipse origins even more epic! =] Thanks for reading. **Dynamic Crafting System :** http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129353-dynamic-crafting-system/

I would like to note that i found that random-tile button doesn't seem to work, it doesn't crash but it doesn't work. Just a heads up/was wondering if anyone else has or can recreate this problem? thanks for reading guys!

I'm alil confused, when you say to the top, where do you mean? and when you say "above that" check and replace the line - which line exactly? =P

fixed my last bug, it was my config file i think, in any case now i can get in but every time i talk to an npc i get an error/crash and debug highlights (in the server): ``` If Not Item(GetPlayerEquipment(attacker, weapon)).CombatTypeReq = 5 Then ' Check for Polearm ```

I get a subscript out of range after registering a screen name and password and signing in upon debug of the client i noted that it highlighted (inside modHandleData) ``` CopyMemory ByVal VarPtr(Quest(n)), ByVal VarPtr(QuestData(0)), QuestSize ``` on another note : The official Eclipse Mega release just needs projectiles and crafting and this would be epic for all.

wrong thread, sorry.

sorry about double post.:'(

Ever talk to General Pony about getting this to work in a Dx8/Nightly environment? =] That would be entirelly epic to see this work on such a setup.

> I don't remember Dragon Eclipse being DirectX8 related, but maybe I should double check…although I have used it. The newest and latest dragon eclipse is Dx8/Nightly, Does this work in a Dx8/Nightly Environment and in a Eclipse Origins setup?
