Hello everyone,

[Need Help]

First think about what you want to make and then pick to correct engine for that then search together a team and start developing the game :D

Maybe you should take a look at my dx8 tutorial for beginners ;)

Somebody gave Eclipse 3.0 to me yesterday and i thought why not just make the dropbox file public so here is the link:

tnx :D

It's called a basic tutorial for something :p

I'm also aiming for beginners not for ppl like general awesome but whatever.

Tnx for reply ;)

Some ppl think this is hard

[Basic DX8 rendering]

Hello everyone,

Some info about tutorial:

Difficulty: normal

Supported engines:

-CS:DE

-Mirage source

-Eclipse advanced

-All other engines based on CS:DE

-It can work with other dx8 engines like EO3.0 and all others but the modules and some names of classes are different that's all but the logic behind it is the same.

Special Thanks to: Thomas And Robin (for making these awesome engines)

**Chapter 1: Rendering a guiwindow**

So here i will explain how to render a guiwindow

The first thing you do is go to modrendering and scroll all the way down.

Then make a sub (in this example we will use DrawTest)

```
Public Sub DrawTest()
Dim X As Long, Y As Long, Width As Long, Height As Long

X = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).X
Y = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Y

Width = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Width
Height = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Height

Directx8.RenderTexture Tex_GUI(2), X, Y, 0, 0, Width, Height, Width, Height
RenderText Font_Default, "Test Window", (GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Width / 2) - EngineGetTextWidth(Font_Default, "Test Window"), Y + 5, White
End Sub
```
[attachment=916:delala.png]

(GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Width / 2) - EngineGetTextWidth(Font_Default, "Test Window") This line of code does the following:

Guiwindow(GUI_TEST).width gets the width of the window ofcourse and he devides that by 2 so half the window.

Then he does Enginetextgetwidth whit fontdefault and for test("Test window) and he also devides that by 2 so this text will be on top of the window and centered

And Directx8.rendertexture TEX_GUI(2),x,y,0,0,width,height,width,height simply renders the image whit the name 2.png from the gui folder.

Warning: make sure you all numbers in gui folder are consecutive.

Now in initialisegui in modgeneral:

```
' 21 - Test
With GUIWindow(GUI_TEST)
.X = 300
.Y = 100
.Width = 257
.Height = 152
.visible = False
End With

```
So this just defines the posision and the height and width of the window(picture).

At the end of Public Enum GUIType

add GUI_TEST

Warning: put it above GUI_COUNT

In Public Sub DrawGUI() Add:

```
If GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).visible Then DrawTest

```
**Chapter 2: Clicking**

Here i will talk about how to make windows clickable

Ok so what you wanna do first is test if the window you've rendered is actually rendering correctly then go on and follow this

Now in Public Sub HandleMouseUp(ByVal Button As Long)

add this at the end before end select:

```
Case GUI_TEST
Test_mouseup

```
So this just sends the client to another sub when it sees that GUI_TEST is clicked (mouseup)

(no need to explain it i think)

```
Public Sub Test_mouseup()
Dim X As Long, Y As Long
X = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).X
Y = GUIWindow(GUI_TEST).Y

If GlobalX > X+35 And GlobalY > Y+54 Then 'Point 1
If GlobalX < X+3 And GlobalY < Y+23 Then 'Point 2
Call Something
End If
End If

End Sub

```
So this actually does what it needs to do if you click it

Normally you just put all those coordinates in one if but i devided into 2points and i'll explain in the picture under this text:

[attachment=917:tutorial.png]

I can add extra Chapters if you want

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and i hope it's usefull it's pretty basic but i didn't wanna make it too hard for a first tutorial on this forum about rendering in dx8.

Please like tutorial if it helped you or if you just like it :)

You can also use Paint.net for coordinates i also use it its very handy you can see pixel coordinates at right bottom. :)

:(

[[dx8]Problem rendering map to a certain position on the screen]

> You need to create a new PictureBox, and use its handle to render your sprites unto. You'll also need to update certain values accordingly to the boundaries of the screen.

But then i'll have to change almost everything of the engine is there no other way.?

I have followed this tut on EA and worked like a sharm.

[[dx8]Problem rendering map to a certain position on the screen]

Hello everyone,

So i'm trying to render the map,npcs,players,… on the place on the screenshot where the map is now but now it's actually just a picture over the map.

So you can actually walk behind the gui and thats not what it needs to be because you can't see the map behind the gui :P

I'm using Miracle Reborn as base.

It will be an online rpg why you think we use RakNet ;)

[[EA] Fullscreen mode]

> How to use this in EO 3.0 :(?

You first have to render everything to frmmain before you can actually use this in EO 3.0 and that's what thomas actually did in Eclipse Advanced.

He rendered everything to frmMain.

Use [this](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/127753-eo-event-system-30-resolution-changer/) for fullscreen in EO3.0

Okay great but you'll have to wait with making maps cuz i'm having a little bug with layersystem :P

i'll fix it as soon as possible until i fixed it you can work on gui and items and other stuff ;)

€dit: Bug fixed i forgot a "," -_- Fail for me.
