I manually registered "dx7vb.dll" and now it works, thank you very much. And I just found out I installed a old version of the runtime files, it's not the same as the actual one. I think it would work too if I downloaded the actaul runtime files and installed them.

Or you're not an administrator. I am just using microsoft security essentials, I just found out after trying with a blank EO client and server, that I get a new message: Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't creat object

@Lenton: > Did you get an error message, if so, what did it say? No. @Robin: > Did you follow the installation instructions? Yes, I forgot to say I have a 64 bit system, does it matter?

@quintensky: > i checked they are devisible by 32… and im not gonna delete my maps again, it wont work at all Try a blank EO source.

@Ecclestio: > I hate having to ask for help again, but this really just isn't working. I'm trying to add a Player Stat called Health, to have a different way to determine the player's HP. It only changes when the Player level's, and they can't manually add to it. But for some reason it always gives me–[This](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25798955/Capture12.PNG)–and I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly. > > I have this in both places (server and client): > ``` > Public Enum Stats > Strength = 1 > Endurance > Intelligence > Agility > Willpower > Health > ' Make sure Stat_Count is below everything else > Stat_Count > End Enum > ``` > I checked through the source, trying to find any other place where I may need to define the 6th Stat, but I get nothing… Any help would be appreciated. Adding a stat is not only this my friend, you have to do a lot more xD Find out how the client and server know those stats, and make your new stat known for the client and server. After that find the function/sub of player leveling in the server side I think, and make sure your new stat will raise if the player can level up.

@Robin: > Did you bother installing the runtime files? Yes

Hello all I had a problem with my laptop so I bought a new PC with windows 7 on it. But now when I try to run EO, it don't. I think the problem is because I don't have directx 7… I searched a lot on internet for directx 7 for windows 7 but I couldn't find. I hop someone can help me.

I forgot my name.

I saw this earlier, but I dont remember my gmail any more xD

@Olimar72: > Thank you SO much! Anyway, I don't really need an image or item function, I just want a basic system for text like what used to be in Eclipse Stable. I don't know Eclipse Stable, but do you mean something like, you walk on a tile and you get a text in the chat-box? Or you attack a blocked tile and you get a text in the chat-box? You can also make the text flying on the game-screen, or get a new pictureBox shown when attacked, in the pictureBox you will read the sign and click on a OK button … It's all possible ^^

I like your graphics xD. I can help with some programming :)

I suggest you to read a tutorial about vb6, srry i dont know a easy site, hope someone else will give u this…

@Justn: > have it run a check when the sever is shutdown and saves the item locations so players can keep there items on the floors without them despawning? Any feedback on this would be a huge help You always have the possibelity to make the server check and save something on its shutdown… @Justn: > I am working on my player housing and was wondering how I can go about doing this.. > ``` > If Map.Moral = MAP_MORAL_PlayerHouse Then > MapItem(GetPlayerMap(Index), i).canDespawn = False > ``` > What i was wondering if this is possible to do this just for player houses What I understand is: You made a MAP_MORAL_PlayerHouse, and a canDesapwn boolean. Ok whats canDespawn gonna do? And how are you be able to change the value of it? Tell how far you exactly are, and what you have made…

I am currently started with making the code, I am making it a bit advanced. Its gonna contain, a image u can choose for the sign, a text and a color, an item you can optain from the sign, you will be able to set the item function on and off, and you can make it possible for ppl to get the item multiple times or just ones… How far Am I? Currently done the sign editor system, the blitting sustem, and now working on the attribute system, I cant really figure out the attribute system, but it will be an experience for me. The problem I have with the attribute system is, when I make a attribute on the map, the image I used for the sign will not appear, but if u attack the blocked tile of the sign, you will get the message and the item... Sorry for the late reply, but i am not really active on this forum, cause of time and other things, but when I ve finished it, I will post it :)

for wich version of eclipse u want have it???
