People have tried to create Pokemon games with Eclipse for the past 10+ years. The problem is, by the time they actually have the skill to do it, they have moved on and no projects are ever completed. Yes, it is possible but it would require someone to program everything beforehand which simply isn't going to happen.

Actually, you were at 8.

Some0ne is obviously slacking on this admin team…......

Yeah, I personally think this is great. He is a growing artist, I would consider his work above average and nothing will help him improve over pratice. If this is still open in 3-4 weeks you will probably receive a PM from me. (PM stands for personal/private message - you use MP a lot in your post which makes no sense)

You can switch it to EO3 style (single, premade sprite) using the Class Editor in the Server/Admin Tools folder.

1\. Yes, it is hosted on a windows machine. 2\. No, you only get FTP access to your data folder and the options found in the admin panel contained in the EO client. 3\. No. 4\. Kinda, there is a restart button in the client for the server. If you need to re-launch it, maybe to load files you just sent over via FTP, you can. -JC

> Is it not as simple as just making PlayerRec and all Player related types an array (1 To 3), then rewrite the entire core to allow the array setting, and then just record the value of which character is logged in? When you say "rewrite the entire core", you make it sound the slightest bit tricky but in reality the changes you have to made to the entire core are the same and can be done with a replace all.

> I allways wanted to know how to create multiple characters accounts (like 3 characters per acc)…i saw only 1 custom engine with that feature > > > > thanks in advice! Almost every Eclipse engine before EO had 3 accounts :P (TE, ES, EE, etc) They are just soo old you never see or hear about them anymore.

Lol, I'm in every screenshot!!!

3d??? 4d? o.O But for real, I love this idea hope it lasts as long as it can.

Congratz. Best of luck Marsh!

1\. Launch your server. 2\. Open your client. Instead of connecting to your server click "New". 3\. Go back to your server, look for the IP and Port on top - [http://puu.sh/aqokU/47d6989410.png](http://puu.sh/aqokU/47d6989410.png) 4\. That is your local ip and port, type those in for the new server on your client. 5\. Connect to your server to make sure it works. 6\. When your friends come over, copy your client folder to a flash drive and just hand it off to them then you do not have to worry about the ip and port again. Have fun.

Last I heard, EO4 will be kept up with bug fixes to an extent after Eclipse V is released. As for new features/major edits I cannot say. Transferring of content for EO4 to EV is also undetermined, there will be compatibility issues that would make it, difficult (dynamic map sizes for example). This is fairly unlikely. -JC

If /who isn't implemented you can shoot a quick PM off to Kibbelz. He is actively working on the next update, that would be so easy to implement I don't see why he wouldn't.

I am stopping in just to reply here, I personally liked what you were doing, not that I had time to help out or say that before. With that said, I am not going to ever be the one to beg someone to stay. I can only recommend that you never let any number of people bring you down for silly stuff. Best of luck with whatever you move on to, JC

Ok my attempts failed. I tried everything including the vb6cli.exe trick. His comp is all kinds of screwed over.

Download teamviewer, open it. Send me your ID and password in a PM. I will remote control your PC and fix it.

Yup, not a bug. You need to edit your animations so that they are all linear horizontally. (Marking as resolved and moving to the Q/A section.)

Go to control panel - programs and uninstall internet explorer 11. Reinstall the dlls from above. Restart your pc. Delete Eclipse and redownload. Restart vb6, open the source and try again.

Wasn't directed at you. Just posted after you, Skyward.

We are not going to allow posts that insult/harm the site or the members. That isn't going to change. Regards, JC

> First thing is first, it was already my plan to add this as an entry, but the staff should get together an discuss a set of stable rules and how to handle them, the points system is now ancient history. In fact there was a problem with this yesterday a member, **Doug**, was conflicted about a judgement call made by a staff member yesterday, I'll keep the name of that staff member disclosed as it's what I see fit. Now in my opinion, both sides had great points on the argument! The staff member, was acting upon his emotion and made a judgement call, no harm in that, however here's where my problem comes in; When I was a mod we were told the chat was to our discretion and to make calls based on what we think is right or wrong, I believe this is a flawed system. We are revising the rules now. The problem is, 90% of the issues I am asked to deal with is at my own discretion because not only are there no rules laid in motion against them, there is also no precedent to base action on. When it comes to the Doug case, everything was documented in the admin section by the mod in question. He made a judgement call and I stand by it. The resulting action was a ban (maybe a little overkill) but the mod attempted other actions first including a shoutbox mute beforehand which was unsuccessful. (This has since been worked out.) > Not only can it lead to conflicts between users and staff, it can lead to doubt in self judgement. This endangers both staff and members alike, there should be rules set in stone or guidelines to be followed even for the shout box. Staff should need to always screen shot and provide evidence of their claim and maybe even send a pm warning the user depending on the severity of the act. Generally actions taken are documented in the warning system, otherwise the mod/admin makes a topic in the admin section with documentation. Shoutbox rules are the same as forum rules except it is a shoutbox. At the very least, if something is questionable, don't post it. (That applies for 90% of the sites on the web) > My third and final note for today is something that MajorTom brought to my attention yesterday. We should bring custom user groups back! Maybe these can be won in an event and maybe who ever wins the event can allow up to 5 - 10 people in their user group, something like what we used to do with tournaments! You can take this one to Amish but last I remember we intentionally took time out to remove the custom groups. If anything they contributed to an elitist attitude towards other groups.

I really like how Abyssrayel put that. I will jump in and toss 2 cents. First, EclipseV does not have a pricing plan yet. No matter what the plan is in the end, Gold members will receive an appropriate discount. Second, from a programming standpoint, if you have knowledge to look at code in tutorial forum, transfer it over into a source (easy as copy and paste) AND fix any conflicts that arise in the process then I would say go for open source. If you do not have the basic knowledge to fix errors that you generate when working with the source you are going to spend 95% of your time raging at code and no part of a game unique or not will be made.

> I just wanna reply on the whole "ECLIPZ S INCRSNG, I CAN HAZ MEMBERS" i wanna say this is entirely false by a large margin, i see no improvement on how many members are on the site. I have stated before, before you 2 took over the forums, there were about 2000 members on at once ALL the time, however now, it seems to be that there's barely like 20 or 30 now. can't really judge the forums like that but it basically explains what's going on with the forums. This is false. "Most Online Ever: 2,053 (May 11, 2008, 03:38:56 pm)" That was one massive day 6 years ago (when Eclipse was still on smf) and the majority of the visitors were guests. So 2000 members on at any given time is laughable and completely exaggerated. > Another thing i would like to mention is that there are certain topics being deleted even though they actually do BENEFIT the forums. but it seems only you don't see it that way. Im surprised this topic lasted this long too, usually it gets deleted for apparent "Flaming" when it's literally just opinions. Some topics have been hidden and deleted. Whether a topic benefits the forum is a matter of personal opinion. I think Kid's first rant was hidden by Matt who was praised in the topic. This topic specially has minimal potential to be beneficial which is why we are responding and keeping it around. > I do have to agree with what Kid said, the staff on here seem to somewhat not know what they are doing, with the exception of certain ones. There's literally only one moderator from what i have seen, the rest are admins. try and balance it out, yea? The site isn't filled with trash, we have enough people to get the job done. Would you suggest that we take half the admins and demote them? Or would you recommend we hire mods that we don't need and would eventually be attacked in these kinds of topics anyways? > Anywho, i also want to say, your "11 thousand EO 4 servers" thing is complete bull. even if it was true however, most of them will probably be dead weight. It is a legit statistic. EO4 has been downloaded well over 20,000 times. The 11 thousand number are people who used the server to make an account, verify their email, and get their game running at least once. I am not saying they are all active now because most of them are not but the stat is legit and something we are proud of. JC
