  1. It's not nearly as bad as I expected. It could use a lot more polish and a few mechanical changes (for example why are we able to walk through mobs? It makes combat feel so floaty) but overall it's not as bad as I had initially assumed it woud be. Have to admit that aside from the Dominion(I believe?) the starter zones are incredibly boring though. But it seems to pick up around level 15ish.
  2. What sort of characters does your password contain exactly? VB6 does not take kindly to any non-standard letters and symbols can at times cause a few odd issues. (Also have you tried debugging to see what password the server receives? Maybe it's somehow sending skewed data or incomplete data)
  3. I remember this being a modification of a modification, so it's quite possible a good few bugs slipped in. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the base nor is the owner of it still active around here I believe. So it may be up to you to figure out what's wrong.
  4. And why force someone that possibly has little understanding of the language struggle with debugging and then have them give up on their project entirely because they don't understand anything of it? The Event System as it is is NOT a good way to start your debugging carreer and his map had no events on it so those shouldn't have caused it. If there ARE events on said map THEN you can start debugging it this way as there is something to debug, now it'd just be a chase as to why the data was saved the way it did.
  5. There is an underlying issue somewhere, and it has to be fixed eventually. But in the past year or so I have only had it happen once, and never managed to figure out WHY exactly that data was saved the way it did. So with some luck it'll simply never happen again.
  6. @Carim, he's not completely off. I've had this once when the server magically saved some bogus event data in one map for some reason. Deleting the event file for said map fixed it, never quite figured out what happened though.

    Anyhow, those steps work for some heavy debugging. But personally I would start with the simplest of solutions: Trying to delete the file that holds the events for both those maps.
  7. It's a bit more complex than ''scripts'' as technically the entire engine is a compiled binary. But the tutorial forums tend to have a thing or two for just about any engine to get you started, just need to make sure you have Visual Basic 6 (.NET and Visual Studio will **NOT** function!) and compile your executables after the changes are made. :)

    Anyway, by changing the source you can basically do anything within your own power and the limitations of the language. (It is pretty old, so I wouldn't expect the next Crysis out of it)
  8. > Windows VPS are pretty expensive, so my answer is, No.

    Suppose that depends on your definition of cheap honestly. 

    Anyway I would simply suggest you look around the web for more reputable hosting companies and check some reviews of their services then decide which one would be best for you in terms of price/service. Cheap does not always mean good as VPS resellers often oversell their hardware.
  9. You could also simply delete the events file of the map rather than the map itself. They're two different files after all and deleting one will not damage the other. (Also possible to edit the event file manually but I would advise against this unless you know what you're doing)
  10. As most of the above posts have stated; It is required that you upgrade to [Eclipse Origins 4: Gold Edition](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/page/index.html/eclipse_origins_gold_silver_store.html) if you wish to have more houses, quests and various other features unlocked.
  11. Unless you set them as global the server will send an instanced version to each player, so they all get their own private copy of an event. For instance in a scene I designed you'd be hit by a car and be shown a hospital scene, but only you would be able to see this and everyone else would get his own copy of the event.

    As for story and plot, that depends on what you have written yourself. But working with variables and triggers on different pages can make for some interesting systems.
