Killa_ when you add something to the playerrec, make sure it is as the end of the playerrec list of features you also need to find the initialisation functions and add false as the standard value for it when a new player is created.

@Nimbus: > Both of these are the same. My ip from the website and ip in /cmd are the exact same number. And also I can run my server and use the site http://canyouseeme.org/ to check port 7001 and it says its open. It also creates a connection with my server for only a moment and that shows up under the server console. when you open http://canyouseeme.org/ is the "your IP" the same as the above two? I find it very hard to believe that your local ip is identical to your world IP. This is where your issue is I would be guessing.

yes, because 8 thousand posts Of "1" "0" "4" are such a brilliant way of increasing your post count e-peen. Everyone knows that more posts obviously shows superiority.

@Wing: >  Bloody good this one is.

world ip from ipchicken.com is what you give to others to connect with. the local ip you get from /cmd and network properties is what your router port forwards inbound traffic to using port forwarding. make sure there is no confusion between these two.

what a sad and pointless way to spend some time.

After reading the above information, it would seem your items.bmp file is too large (best guess)

Taken from this thread: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=12254.0 Run-Time Error: 380 - Invalid property value 1\. When clicking on a button in the server Download this and place it in the system directory and register it. 2\. Unknown action This error is caused by your server owner not taking into account the graphics limit for Windows 98\. The graphics they distribute are too large to work with Windows 98\. This happens on Windows 98 computers & Windows ME only as far as I know. The fix is quick and easy. - Open "tiles.bmp" in the "GFX" folder at the client side. - Make sure it opens in Paint. If it does not open in Paint automatically, right click on tiles.bmp and click Edit. If that doesnt work, then right click tiles.bmp and go into the Open With… submenu, and if paint is in there, click it, if it isn't, click Choose Program... and click browse, then go to "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and double click on the "mspaint" icon. Then click ok. - Once in Paint, click Image (ALT+I), Then click Attributes. OR you can just hold control and hit E when you open paint. - Once in the Attributes menu, edit it to look like the following: Width: 224 Height: 9728 Units: Pixels Colors: Colors - Then click OK - Then click File, Then click Save. OR hold control and hit S. If this doesn't work, just try messing with the numbers until its fixed. (temporary) Global fix.

If i had to guess I'd say they used a diffuse cloud set to multiply. Not sure about replicating the effect programmatically though

screenshot of error please?

.jpg is smaller than .png most the time. .png includes alpha and has perfect colours, jpg does not. .png will be bigger.

@Juvanio: > You've messed around the frmMenu. I agree with this. I think you need to make sure you have not scaled the image down in one of the options in VB6

No good tutorial for doing so. Rewrite the client in another computer language was my solution.

yes but VB6 is natively incompatible with .png VB6 + PNG = :mad:

^ second this motion

the .LoadPicture can not be used with .png to use .png must write a lot more code.

Awesome monkey, nice styling.

I have no idea why but i just went and had a muck around with your map for the lulz, turned out quite good i think. 

It needs to be… glowier. Text and metal feels a bit dull, and the green im not sure is saturated enough to get that "im a glowcore" feeling.
