Guys, chill.
Man, everybody is so hostile here. -
@Ballie:
> That argument has no logic. That's like telling a book reviewer that their opinions don't matter simply because they didn't write the book. An opinion is not invalidated by whether or not a person has done what you have, but by the logic behind the opinion. We're just giving _constructive_ criticism. Never once did we flame or insult the work done. We simply pointed out some tips that could help make the project turn out a bit more professionally. There's no need to be defensive or pull the "you try to do better, then!" card. And this may be the "same damn thing that has been repeated 1000 times", but did you ever think why? If it's being repeated over and over, and you're not listening, does that make those that criticize the ones blocking progress or yourself?

> I appreciate the work on these sets. It shows that you are dedicated to the community and willing to put effort into something for everyone to use. Taking it an extra step, though, would give a more polished product in the end. The original RMXP sets are by multiple artists, but all in the same style and palette. Even if you look at other games that use tiles, such as Pokemon or similar, you'll find that there was more than one artist, but the palette and style is consistent throughout.
>
> Like I said, all the tiles are very nicely done, and the work put in is inspiring, but it's not going to make an awesome tileset. If you truly want to make something great that Eclipse users will actually _want_ to use over other sets, this is not the way. If you're merely just trying to make a collaborative area for free tiles, that's fine as well, but just know that it can't compete with professionally-done tilesets when there's no standards set for style, palette, or much else.
>
> Take that as you will. I respect your intent. I'm just trying to show you a way to increase the quality of the final product.
>
> Don't get me wrong; it's a great idea, and it's nice to see Eclipse's artists showing what they can do. It just lacks planning. Any time you've got more than one person, there needs to be a consensus for how the project is to be handled.
>
> Coordination, not collaboration.
This whole thing was started as a collaborative project. It was never meant to compete with professional tilesets. Its just something fun to do for the whole community. I know its not the best quality tileset. I even said in the first post
Quote: I know that having multiple people working on a tileset is not ideal, but I don't care.
From the very start I knew that various styles would get mixed in. But people for some reason keep trying to tell me the same thing I already stated.
If anybody wants to get a good team, coordinate, and make a high quality set, then go right ahead. I haven't been actually active here in like almost a yr, and I'll soon disapear again, so I'm deffinetly not the one who will do this. This project if what it is. If you want to 'fix' it, then go right ahead. If you want to tell me whats wrong with it, well I (and everybody else that worked on this) already know it, and I'm not going to do anything about it.
Oh, and regarding the book reviewer argument. An author would care what the reviewer sais because he wants the book to sell. This is a free set, anybody can edit it as they please, so that it fits their needs, and frankly I don't care if anybody uses it or not. -
I know what you guys are saying, and its the same damn thing that has been repeated 1000 times.
I know its not the best tileset, and there are various styles mixed together, but I don't see any of you coming up with anything better, so whatev.
Also, lol, I see they let you back in Kreator. -
If I correctly understood what you said then… thats just dumb.
You aren't lying, you're just learning a new language. Nobody really cares where your parents are from anyway.
More inportantly, why is there a thread about this? lol...
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
And lol, what does this have to do with religion. -

Lol this died after I left?
Cmmon guys, you can do it. -

I just got back from the interview, I took the job.
Its $17/h or more.
Basically how it works is people set up appointments with me and I would go to their houses and do a small presentation which lasts about an hour. I get payed even if I don't make the sale.
As for their products, two words: Fucking Awesome
Lol, the dude had a pair of scissors and he cut a coin in two.
Anyway, I start training tomorrow. I'm still paying attention, making sure it isn't a scam, but at this point, I'm fairly confident. -
@Bone:
> Well, for one, on google when you're typing it in and it gives you stuff related to it
> (Eg. Vector Marketing Ottawa, Vector Marketing Canada) (Ottawa and Canada being the stuff I haven't typed yet)
> It also shows 'Vector Marketing Scam lol.
Lol, yeah, it looks like a scam.
Basically base pay is $17/h, no exp required. I just drove there to check it out, its pretty weird. Its like in a small business/warehouse kinda neighborhood.
My interview is tomorrow I'll know what the scam is exactly then.
If anybody has any other info (personal experience with them or whatev) I'd appreciate it. -
Well I just got a call and I have an interview with vector marketing tomorrow.
I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this company. It seems pretty sketchy to me. -
Hmm, well I haven't been on eclipse for a while. Just dropping in.
@Night:
> Hmm, my dad got a wartning saying the internet qwould be cancelled…
Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard!
Whats with the personal attacks asshole?
Anyway, regarding the carbon/silicone life form thing:
> Non-Carbon Based Life
>
> Life is only believed to be sustainable under a certain and complex set of conditions - basically the proximity of the nearest star to the host planetary structure and the correct blend of elements and conditions and characteristics required to sustain and diversify life.
>
> Although other elements do form a variety of molecular structures, carbon has a unique tendency to form a very wide variety of long molecular chains and rings that form the basis for organic compounds (with hydrogen and oxygen) that at some level of complexity begin to self-replicate. It is speculated that life can evolve without carbon (silicon is the most speculated because it has similar chemical properties to carbon - relatively light with a half full outer electron arrangement, but it can be argued that silicon based molecules are traditionally very brittle). However the overiding argument is probably down to one simple fact - carbon is statistically more abundant than any other element believed to be able to support life in the universe (according to analysis of research samples of interstellar material).
>
> Therefore carbon is the most likely candidate for being the element that life is based upon throughout the universe - but then again the universe is vast and some anomolies will exist there.
>
> Read on for more information from WikiAnswers contributors:
>
> * It's very possible that non-carbon based life could exist. We tend to view science and what we believe is possible from the standpoint of our earth and what we see here. However, we haven't figured it all out yet (which is why scientific explanations for things change).
>
> * Everything is accurate except for the first remark, that a certain complex set of conditions is required for life to exist. Life itself is a self-repeating pattern which can hypothetically exist in a universe without chemical systems, and very different properties. Life might exist in the coldness between stars. A complex set of circumstances is necessary to sustain say mammalian or amphibian life, but that is because those organisms adapted to their environment and therefore need roughly those conditions to survive. Half of the life on earth lives in conditions that would instantly kill the other half. Take a desert animal and put it in the arctic and it will die immediately, and visa versa. Take any land animal and put it at the bottom of the ocean and it will be a) instantly crushed to death, b) drowned to death, c) die of hypothermia or if near a volcanic heat vent boil to death and be poisoned by the toxic gasses it spits up - yet this environment is ideal for organisms which live under that pressure around those heat vents and need them to survive.
> * Life seeks out the best strategy to survive. If a non-carbon-based lifeform was placed here on earth, it probably wouldn't last long. It couldn't compete with carbon-based life in an environment full of carbon. But that's no reason why it shouldn't exist anywhere else.
>
> Life adapts to it's environment, and life of some sort could potentially exist in any solar system, planet or even universe which had some level of stability and potential for "work" or movement on any scale.
>
> To say life was limited to only carbon based anatomy would be a huge underestimation of life by mankind. First you have to ask what is life. In many definitions fire can be called life. It breathes, eats organic material, and is not based of carbon but of oxygen and its byproduct being CO2\. Many people believe for one reason or another that silicon based life forms would be a very possible branch of life. However life WAS, as in past tense, believed to be only present under certain conditions. Reasons such as, needing a large Jupiter to clean out asteroids, or having a near by Oort cloud to hurl comets containing water, hydrogen, nitrogen, and many other precious life giving forces to Earth. However as we learn more about the workings of space we learn new things that kick aside our original theories and concepts. Take the Sun revolving around the Earth for instance.
>
> _______________________

> Carbon-based life can exist in all kinds of harsh conditions. The question really is whether or not life could have come about through some pathway other than a carbon system. While carbon is by far the most likely candidate for champion of life development, no one can seriously and definitively say that other kinds of life are impossible. If such life exists, it will probably be a very long time before we encounter it.
So as I said, most likely it will be carbon or silicone
Also, you said that new elements could exist on other planets. Well, we are creating new elements in labs "all" the time. They react quickly however, and disappear within seconds. -

@Azure:
> i can't fins the tutorials!!!
> and i get a error …

http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?board=34.0
And what error? -
Run-Time Error: 9 - Subscript out of range
1\. Unknown Action
Can be repeatedly. Just restart the client or server and it then will just go away.
Global TE & EE fix.
2\. After warping
You used an invalid number for the default warping command. Be sure that the numbers are correct. Although the only way to fix this is the following: search in the folder called "accounts" at the Server Side and find your account. Then open it with notepad and set map, x and y back to a normal number. You can also improve the commands with checks. Sadscript knowledge is required!
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
3\. Account modifying
If you don't know which account causes this error then you need to check all accounts, if you do know then you can just check the INI of the account for a error causing value or even values. If you still don't find it then you need to delete all the accounts.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
4\. After turning scrolling off or on and starting the server.
You probably forgot to delete the maps. The maps need to be deleted when setting scrolling to another mode.
Global fix.
5\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the NPC data.
Some NPC file is corrupt. You need to find out which one is corrupt and delete that one or you need to delete them all and restart the server.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
6\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the map data.
Some map file is corrupt. You need to find out which one is corrupt and delete that one or you need to delete them all and restart the server.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
7\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the item data.
Some item file is corrupt. You need to find out which one is corrupt and delete that one or you need to delete them all and restart the server.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
8\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the spell data.
Some spell file is corrupt. You need to find out which one is corrupt and delete that one or you need to delete them all and restart the server.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
9\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the class data.
You can re-download Eclipse and get the class files of that or try to fix it yourself.
Thanks to Godlord for this fix.
10\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the map data.
It's possible that you have specified a lower max value in the data.ini than there are maps. This means that you have e.g. a max number of 200 while you have 500 maps.
Thanks to zerokainin for this fix.
11\. When starting the server and the error occurs when loading the NPC data.
It's possible that you have specified a lower max value in the data.ini than there are NPCs. This means that you have e.g. a max number of 200 while you have 500 NPCs.

Tutorial section.

1\. Don't write your thread title in CAPS.
2\. For getting admin access, there's a sticky in the questions section…
3\. For everything else, read some guides. -
So you want to pass through it? Its a source edit. Pretty easy to do actually, there's a tutorial in the programming section, but you need vb6.
-
Meh, you mentioned noise and blur, so you know you will get flamed by certain pixel artists.
It kinda looks like a cloud I guess. I would recommend just opening up paint, and drawing your grass from scratch. It just doesn't look like grass.
Still, glad you're trying! Doing this stuff is pretty fun, even if you're not that good at it. You're just starting right now tho, so don't expect to be too skilled at this. You will get better for sure, I've noticed this myself. -
@The:
> LOL, if you have to resort to that, then you just fail at computers.
That's just stupid. Formatting your pc once a year increases performance, even if you don't have a virus, or whatev. -
Is it fixed in there or what?
-
Meh, I didn't feel like answering this, however nobody has for sooo long, therefore.
Basically, you would be able to do that with a source edit I guess. I have no clue however. On the other hand, as far as I know, item sheets can have almost an infinite size. Not sure what the exact rules for creating a paperdoll sheet are. Just check the paper doll section for a longer sheet.
Lets make a tileset!
