well guys ive made a ton of friends here and had alot of fun but one of my novel submissions was excepted….this is a good thing and a bad thing all at once as i will no longer be working on anything for eclipse but ill stay in touch for certain....i really wanted to stay on and finish my projects but unfortunately i cant spare any time from working on this new book....so i bid you all a fond farewell...ill be on the forums from time to time....as my schedule allows.... thanks to everyone for the friendship and support on my work here.....

this hit list is composed of the names of individuals id like to contact for a feedback session…..if you see your name on this list pls PM me with your availability so that i can better reach you.....if you dont feel like participateing you should feel no obligation......this list is based on MY personal preference......i will strive to respond to everyone in a timely manner the purpose of this feedback session is a private screening of game features that i will discuss at length with you....i firmly believe in the value of your opinions...some of you have been named for creative imput, methods of implementation, and even as synics..... i am devout in my belief that without outside opinions during the designaturen phase of my project i will not be able to create a product truely unique....i plan on beginning contacts with those of you that PM me on the 28th of august.....the results of the feedback sessions in their entirety as well as a list of features and methods of implementing them will be sent to all of you as a report once feedback is concluded....at which point you may continue to offer guidance/feedback....or simply take it as a further peek into the games development a feedback session is not for the bashful.....if you think something is poorly implemented....lacks depth....or is simply a poor idea.....my invitation entitles you to say so..... this list will be updated with "reviewed" next to the names i have received feedback from THE Unnownzor reviewed marsh reviewed pickle reviewed niko reviewed drnova reviewed bobosk reviewed myshuki reviewed baron reviewed THATS EVERYONE....i can finally get cracking on reports....gimme about a week and everyone will get results it would serve me best to be able to reach all of you at once....since this is highly unlikely i will reach each of you at the time most agreeable to your posted schedule/availability and offer a structured "proposal" of general game designaturen, features, implementation..... and conclude with requests for your imput and opinions...... thankyou for your time and energy

so does anyone out their use skype? SKYPE is a voice chat system that doesnt suck rocks like aim or y/a/hoo…..i was thinking about haveing some feedback sessions on game ideas for my current game de/si/gn but they go alot slower and are alot less productive over normal chat sessions.....ive had feed back sessions for writeing and tabletop games before but never a video game...its extremely similar though if anyone wants to check out skype its free and easy......my skype name is KIENATA if you have any issues with skype my aim name is....kienata.... monkeys :-)

well honestly this is just specualtion…BUT from how baron describes it and what im getting used to in code i see the following capabilities of this feature......with some scripting knowledge of course players could place bets on a virtual fighting pit....i was working on something like this but the "book" will make this a billion times easier i see a single massive and amaseing Quest script based around this new feature comeing out ...... its simply going to become the standard....perhaps slightly modified by the individual but no doubt the standard i Personally will be useing the book to help in a robust monetary system for my world.....be nice to finally have an eclipse game where selling things is easy for the player:)

well baron man….so far as the updaytes have come my first thoughts have been.....excellent patch....very practical and needed.......the book though you F**KING rock.... ....both practical and powerful.....im useing this feature immediately.... Excellent work

so im gonna be out of space for sprites here in a bit and was wondering….can i make the end of the sprite file longer?..in order to add more sprites...will this disrupt the harmony of eclipse and cause total breakdown?......i havent tried it yet because im not to that point.....but in a day or so i will be..some of the tranger things ive tried to do with ecplise have corrupted it so i was hopeing on an answer to save me from a reinstall and moveing all my files again.....anyone? 8)

Well i didnt edit it….or spell check it....or use punctuation.....but i had enough time to post it !!!!! gotta get back to some real writeing projects now:) IF you can decipher this ENJOY the emporer is a living god. in the eyes of the people and to those that know him only as an image, or idol, he IS god. though any commoner would boast thier loyalty to the emporer, few would fair well in a test of such boasts. The divine emporer shethoot declared a great day of games to be held in the capital, and citystate, of altus. the emporer's promise was of a day of games in which, he himself, would face off against a dragon in deadly combat. The day of the games came, the city brimming with travelers and spectators from across the vast lands of a cyra. across the the massive city through warrens and homes the roar of the massive stadium could be heard as thier mighty emporer, clad in a shimmering white robe, stepped onto the hard red mud floor of the stadium. wiped clean, this is the only way to describe such genocide. certainly the endless rotting carcasses under a beating hot sun could not be called clean. nor could the mangy stray dogs, bloated from rot. nor the market places burgening with decaying food stuffs. a single pair of gold inlaid leather sandals walked amongst this death with a commanding stride. the emporer, his once flawlessly white robes now sodded with dirt and filth hanging in tatters from his shadowlike form. the light seemed to dance about and through him revealing portions of his form in waves. comeing to the market sqaure at the very heart of altus he stared at his creation. standing at the feet of a towering likeness of himself he waited for the first surge. a thin line nearly 50 feet long , like a lightning bolt suspended in mid air, crackled brightly and flashed near its center so brightly the emporer was forced to sheild his eyes from the sudden burst. when he looked back the great anomoly was gone, and only the lightly blowing wind and an almoast hollow silence remained. standing at the base of the mighty statue he stared at where the anomoly had been, expecting. from above him a startling voice, with the pitch of a pained scream it whispered to him lightly. "my emporer" during the year of the horse the emporer Shethoot took the throne of altus, succeeding his fathers rule at the age of 11\. during the years that followed shethoot emptied the treasuries of the kingdom into the expansion of the capital altus. by the time the emporer had reached the age of 19 altus had tripled in size and continued to grow at an astonishing rate. overflowing with soldiers, laymen, peasents,nobles,guildsman, and slaves the city held well over one million residents and travelers of all types. on shethoots 20th birthday the first in many "churches" were built in honor of the emporer. just as suddenly as these churches and the followers of this new faith took form, other places of worhsip, and those that attended these holy places, vanished. for all the gifts the emporer had bestowed apon his people, thier was still great disfavor generated from this, though no man, not one, openly apposed the emporers will. at the age of 24, shethoot, the emporer, burned the port city of berroch to the ground, his own city, in his own lands. the confusion of the people could be felt everywhere, the peoples settleing fears of thier emporer renewed. if this slaughter was not enough, magic was outlawed, and rumors of imperial inquisitors began to circulate across the land. one at a time magic weilders of all shapes and sizes were imprisoned. children born with the aptitude for magic were taken to the palace only days after birth. it seemd the emporer could see all, none could hide from the emporers will, his imquisitors silently present at every arrest. magic became history as the years passed and the emporer reached his 40th birthday amongst a people that feared him. as shethoot aged, and the years pressed on, rumors of the goings on of the palace leaked out to a horrified populace. stories of demons walking amongst the patrons of the palace. laboratories for the disection and study of magic weilders, and an infernal machine, said to have been constructed by demons, the reactor. this machine was said to steal the very souls of men, and rejuvenate the emporers ageing body. if thier had been any doubts as to the validity of these rumors, those doubts were washed away the day the emporer stepped onto the stadium floor. the intitial cheer of fifty thousand exuberant onlookers was silenced as abruptly as it began. perhaps some scauffed at the young man that came before them claiming to be shethoot, a man of now 81 years of age. but those few were certainly drowned out by the deafening silence of realisation, as thousands tried to imagine the horrifying truth thier emporers youth. those these, and so many others, had only seconds of life left to contemplate this truth, before thier lives vanished like smoke on the wind. the state of the world 50 years after the fall of altus shethoot still rules his people. the lands have devided into thier own city states each controlled by a chancellor that answers to the emporer. though the city states each answer to the emporer thier is open war as one city state battles another over land and power. the capital of altus has become a ghost city houseing only the emporer, and according to those few that have apporached the city and lived, a demonic host. the gates of the city have opened only a single time since the fall of altus, this was to allow entry of deneth, the chancelor of city state breff, and the "voice" of the emporer. the idol of the emporer is of him standing in white robes, half his face blacked out, his right hand holds the snake apohphis, and his left had is a clenched gauntlet of steel so thier ya go.....world with tons of evil...freerange demons.....and polotics.....the possibility for expanding the story in tons of directions is thier too....be a neat world if i decide to use it.....still trying to get this codeing thing goin though:) story:by me ....took about 20 minutes over coffee if anyone needs a story line, the editing is up to you, but i can make you something original.....

i cant seem to get the boards to auto scroll…..i set cleint and server to it but when i run the game get errors? anyone have a different approach? btw.....everyone thank kanzar for donateing to get our forums moved to a new improved space....thanks bro:)

so im working on some things….dont really feel like posting it all unless i finish my work....but i have a few questions.....thanks for any answers anyone has its really appreciated because im stumped :) so im working on changeing the stat values per level...i level get 10 HP etc....i looked into changeing the speed attribute....and trried setting the LAST possioble feild to a 5....this...in my mind...means that every 5 points of speed you get one extra stat point per level.....am i thinking of this wrong?.....because changeing the value doesnt seem to effect it.....my results are no change and still no added/bonuse point until i hit 20 spd now i DID look in the main.txt....and noted the line that does the math for the value of pts received at level up and the divider...i think thats what the 10 is......but im not sure what to change the values to....i assumed that what i already had with changeing the stats.ini would be fine so should i change the value in main.txt or is thier something buggy with stats.ini? any help would be great.......thnks 8)

MMMMMMK If it can be done with a script…say so....if it cant...same allow player to place item from inventory...like a turret, or wandering monster allow player to place object, a destructable wall, or other destructable...this could even be an immoble attack-disabled beasty that looks like a wall...anything will work as long as its a pathing blocker script to run instead of normal attack anim...perhaps from a new sheet attched similar to the sprite sheets so far ive used the software and have taken note of the following their is little or no help/tutorials....... i feel you may loose some of your potential users becase players may not go to a forum expecting help or tutorials it took two days to find out the help files are in the server.......... thats how long it took to get my map editor open makeing items....useing paperdolls.....creating spells....these things should be simple and fun....makeing the player enjoy creativity....even makeing a class.....in order for that tutorials for these things should be provided with the server download in a file CALLED tutorial i ahve yet to find any sighn of a description for base attributes....i see str but whats it do...whats it effect....hows speed modifiy anything....why would i want 500 lvls....etc.....thiers just no documentation of the core... im on day 5 and todays task is....how to make an item....dont post an answer....im actually interested in how long itll take for me to figure it out...from what ive played with...and again the lack of documentation...im guessing two days..... after working on the base gui i plan on makeing a tutorial for it.....as well as some of the other game features......tutorials are a must for a product like this that doesnt have a more intuitive building/creation system i strongly feel with a few tutorials and some useful links (sprite sites etc) you could remove 50% of the clutter from your forums and get alot more games of the ground if any member of the core team that works on this game would feel up to contacting me id love to go over a few things and get some tutorials w/ visual aids etc.. going.... i feel like if we worked together we could really boost the amount of users in the community more often then not the users that frequently post on these forums are extremely skilled with this software.....this kind of regular use and understanding has its drawbacks though.....even the tutorials on the forums are most often posted by those familiar with the software and the "kudos" on the informative and useful tutorial is from someone who is also familiar with it......these tutorials most often leave out ALL the basics and leave the new users stranded....i would have to say AT LEAST half the tutorials in these forums are useless to a new user.... the skilled users, and those at the core of development, have forgotten what its like to be new or uneducated in something, you have become so tired of stupid questions, mindless code and sprite requests and the endless hassle of answering the SAME question.... MY POINT....wanna answer all thier questions, wanna make this easier for everyone, especially yourselves.....Make tutorials.....-----> I
