@Mr.LLoyd: > You will have more success and bring more interest to your game by making custom graphics. If you're making a proper game then yes, but if it's for getting used to the map editor then it's more efficient just to use RPG Maker tiles.

Save the images.

The steps are too flat and square, I think it's the grey outline.

Read through the tutorial on adding graphics, it explains everything.

Well, I'll upload some more. They were quite rushed, not quite finished and hardly my best. I'll update this post when I've finished them and done some more.

If you're using CS:DE, yes, if you're using EO then no.

Screenshots added :)

MEMEMEMEME. I can do everything, but I can't do video calls. I can do MSN, chatrooms and the like, but no imagery. If you want to know why, just PM me. Sorry :/ Anyway, I'll post some examples of mapping, item ideas and I'm sure you can make a decision on moderation matters. Name: James Cavendish Screenshots: I'll upload when I've made a few Age: 19 Timezone: Greenwich Meantime Much thanks. Screenshot One:  It's a gross and confusing tileset. Was hard to use, I'll rip IP's tiles and work with those next. Screenshot Two:  Much nicer :) Screenshot Three:  Dungeon

Maybe you have a certain amount of hits before you're out of the game and the explosive paintballs detract moreso?

@Matlock: > Well, now that you mention it, I may be upgrading the graphics for ToA if I can get an entire set made. I was aiming for something similiar to those, but with more detail. Nooo! You can't get rid of them! They were awesome as they were :'(

o.O Not entirely sure what it's about…

The rouned trees blend in with the grass a little and the stone bricks have a bit too much contrast. They're really good, though. They look a bit like the TOA tiles, are they for TOA or are you keeping that as is?

I think he means there's too many of those silly 'DOWNLOAD! PLAY NOW!' adverts that flash in your face and cause epileptic fits.

You need an incentive for players to want to reach 150\. For Runescape it's all the arselicking that other players do, but maybe you could have a class that's only available to people at level 150, or a set of armour or show-offy things? No-one's gonna grind that much without a reason.

Were renzo's group removed for their own safety or have they suddenly disappeared..?

@gobbez: > a middle level cap (from 120 to 150) That's your idea of a mid-point? What do you think is a high level cap? The general formula for levelling sounds good, but I think 150 might be too far, especially when you think RuneScape is 126 and that's when people are super-obsessed with it.

I'ma be the first to say Happy Birthday (: …Even though it's not yet... Ah, well.

@aiden500: > Are the tilesets included in the source? I think they already said no. Besides, you should make your own for your project instead. Most projects that use unoriginal tilesets aren't worth playing. Try your own angle on graphics (:

Guns could dictate how far the paintballs fire, instead. As for the paintballs, you could rip an idea from Angry Birds, a paintball that splits into three when it's got to a certain distance.

@JeffSventora: > teapot I've always wondered why 3Ds Max left that in the primitives… Anyway, that's if you're going into programming and the like. I muchly prefer graphical work with Photoshop to anything in programming or modelling.

Well it doesn't need to be realistic. It just looks like quite a light-hearted, fun game and you could ruin it by trying to make it coherant with real paintball. I like the duality of a backpack/inventory and a team marker. Will items (Like paintball types, grenades, guns) be selected via a hotbar?

Exactly. Being 19 and being grouped with all the 13-16 year olds the communtiy is mostly made of seems slightly nonsensical. Is there a particular reason, or are you just looking into the demographics of Eclipse?

And try using 127.0.0.1 in the client config (:

You really need path-grass transitions and better looking grass-short grass ones. They need to have grass sticking out in blades and shapes.

A high-ish level cap and easy levels. If you push your game into the mainstream then people are most likely going to get bored trying to level up and quit. Games with difficult levels and low level caps rarely provide good combat and if you have someone that trains 24/7 then they'll get bored after reaching your low limit.
