So this one is better than your VB6 autoupdater?

Great tutorial. Would be better with a confirmation window for all party members. __________________ Ótimo tutorial. Seria melhor com uma janela de confirmação para todos os membros do grupo.

> You get jailed for killing players on a pvp map? What?! Why not just get rid of pvp altogether if you don't want players fighting each other? That was just something that confused me but other than that, this game looks and sounds awesome. Cant wait to hear back for more details on it. :) Yes. I really don't care about players killing each other but I believe that acts have consequences, so I'll give the player a opportunity to not kill to many player or they will have a time to reconsider it in jail. It's more about the medieval feeling (maybe I put an price to leave jail before the time) than my opinion about killing other players :D I'll update the topic this weekend or next week, so more features (and maybe pics) will be here. > Keep up with the good work. ;) Thank you, really! > So first off, with English not being your first language, I would like to compliment you on doing as well as, if not better, then most English speaking people on here. > > > > That aside, the client seems pretty great. Keep up the good work. Thank you. I'ts really nice to hear something like this. Comments like yours makes me want to do more and more things :D

Why eclipse doesn't have any check to avoid players leaving game in the middle of a battle? I think every online game must have it.

> maybe just make another paperdoll scrl bar and stuff in items and in code if your a mount or whatever use the second paperdoll instead of first (i think i'm misunderstanding) I don't wanna a paperdoll or another… I want them both at the same time. One below player and other above the player.

> It is possible but your copy of Eclipse will need a source edit in order to do so. You can't do this with a (any)standard copy of Eclipse. I know, I just want to know how is the best way to code this. I was thinking in duplicate the entire paperdoll system but something tells me it's the worst way. Any ideas?

I really need 2 paperdolls for the mounts in my game. The first will be rendered above the other and the seconde will be rendered bellow them. So… it's possible? If yes, how?

So, editing things (even the smallest) will cause an unnecessary CPU usage, right? I'll only use this when my game is ready. Thank you guys for the answer and thanks Richy for sharing this!

I really didn't get the cons part. They are automatically re-cached or should I do something? If yes, what and when?

What are the pros and cons of using this?

Your autotiles system is animated, dd7 and have no cache issues?

What do you guys think about status points increasing the % of critical hit?

I can do a good layout for the pages, if you want :D

I hope people support it. This system can take indie gaming to another level. I have so many ideas of how to improve this, but I'm not that good at programming. (sorry about my english)
