Although, later findings made me question that and unsure whether evolution happened, or man engineered creatures before the Flood could of caused it. Basically, you're not even willing to _**give me a try**_. You are so conceded by other people's findings that _**you can't think for yourself anymore**_.

I think what MA means is, delete the now "green background color" into a transparency. This easily done with Gimp or an art program of your preference.

its the beginning of something monstrous !

By using separate sprite files, is it more efficient on the client or less? It would be more convenient for spriting if it was all on one sheet.

Yeah some of these guys in charge of doing TESO also created DAOC, which was a great game.

It was 3faction pvp with large scale castle combat, as well as dungeon raids, tradeskills etc. Massive game for its time.
It was typical to have 200 players on a raid to kill a dragon, and wipe. -
You should place traveling merchants camped around that lightgrass/sandy patch, that sell/buy loot.

If you are using a Dx8 engine (an easy way to tell is if your sprites or tilesets are in .png format), [gimp](http://www.gimp.org/downloads/) is a free and fairly easy to use tool you can use to remove the white background.

Generally the stature of a persons character depends on their personality and the actions they choose, or lack thereof.

I don't agree with locking a topic after a deadline, sometimes subjects may be completely valid to continue or address after a length of time. People get their [hanes](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YF5nVoSoFtQ/TLS_o9sr3UI/AAAAAAAABeU/A9gr0nUaXyI/s1600/hanes.jpg) in a bunch just from seeing similar topic titles as it is.

Savannah, GA? I was there a while back visiting family. I went to Tybee a few times during the summer. Small world indeed.
On topic, I logged into Ambardia for the first time today in maybe 2 years? I smiled as soon as I noticed how much attention to detail was put into the game since then. Cheers  -
Map editing
in Q & A
Shift + Right Click will teleport you around as an Admin (some engines anyway) saves you some walking time.
When you're building a map, think of it a lot like painting a picture. Start with the top, or background and work your way forward so you conflict less with Fringe. Simply take your time or you'll get burnt out doing it too. If you do 1 map a day, you'll have 21 maps done in three weeks. That's not terrible progress in the long run of things. Players appreciate hard work when it shows.
Now developing your own tileset for an ORPG… That's where the time REALLY begins to sink. -

Basically, if you open a source and say you want to put (in the character window) the WEAPON at X -20, Y + 10, you can't do it because the code for player equipment isn't split up, its combined to automatically be put into columns.

Evening ladies and gets, I'm looking for a hand again. I've spent this past weekend drawing up my GUI and I'm in the process of customizing my engine now. Here is the problem I'm at (apparently simple, though I'm here to get my hands dirty, most of my knowledge is in the Art side of my project).
Specifically I'm working on the character window right now. Robin wrote his code into a ?loop, which automatically separated Equipment/Icons into columns which conflicts with my design, at this point I need to be able to manually adjust them in the window. I've already converted the attributes which now look like such:
```
[size] RenderText Font_Default, "Strength: " & GetPlayerStat(MyIndex, Strength), X + 183, Y + 73, Yellow
RenderText Font_Default, "Vitality: " & GetPlayerStat(MyIndex, Vitality), X + 183, Y + 84, Yellow[/size]
[size] RenderText Font_Default, "Intellect: " & GetPlayerStat(MyIndex, Intellect), X + 183, Y + 106, Yellow
[/size]
[size]Etc.[/size]
[size]Now when [/size][size]Public Sub DrawCharacter() gets to [/size][size]DrawEquipment I want to be able to place the equipment manually, much like the above examples. It seems as though [/size][size]GetPlayerPOINTS may need the same thing (for the +'s that show next to attributes while spending points after each level).[/size]
[size]Any ladies or gents have a moment to help an ambitious artist out? Many thanks![/size]

The original map size in CS:DE is 24 x 18\. After changing the following:
Server side & Client side
```
Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 24
Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 18
```
to
Server side & Client side
```
Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 48
Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 36
```
(for scrolling maps)
Tile(s) selected no longer follow the cursor in the _client game screen_ while using the map editor outside of the top left 24x18 portion of the map. The farther you walk out of that area the more the selected tile(s) move away from the cursor and eventually off the screen. Can anyone help me isolate the code which causes that and correct it? -
> The Earth is almost **constantly hit by asteroids, but most break up high in the atmosphere**. Granted this is the largest one recently, a one about the size of a football pitch also happened to fly pretty close to the Earth a few hours ago, so it's not that big.

> Considering it was about 5m across and it caused that damage, it makes you appreciate how much energy they release. Just imagine the one which hit ~65ma (K-T Extinction Event) around Yucatan (Chicxulub, Mexico) which was a little under 200km in diameter.
There are Meteorites, Meteors and Asteroids. If we were hit my Asteroids constantly we would all be dead…. -
> Someone estimated it had an energy release of about half that of the Hiroshima bomb, which is quite small for a meteorite..
For a meteorite its rather large, being that Earth sees 5-10 of them a year. Also while there was no direct impact, a (small) portion following the blast hit a lake in Chelyabinsk.

Meanwhile on the news, they cover an event like this for 40 seconds, then spend 10 minutes talking about whether or not Pres Obama hinted that his daughter might start dating during the state of the union address. Naturally the Pope declared that he wanted to resign earlier this week

Some interesting stuff. Apparently unrelated to DA14 which is expected to pass soon, and is significantly larger.

It's seriously better than the first one. I remember playing it and getting hooked for the first day or two, but I can't remember what turned me off.

Issue was resolved. The problem was ensuring CMD was run as administrator. Cheers.

Thanks Vus!
Any suggestions (from all of you) on ways to improving the environment?
