I made this about 6 months ago, I just touched it up a little bit to fix some errors. It's free to use without credits :P  Also, you need the "minimenus" for it to look good.  *Minimenus is in JPEG FORMAT - Due to a brain fart* Enjoy!

I just made this quick sprite, took me about 10 minutes to get the colours looking O.K, and about 2 minutes to make the outline and put it all together. This is a Child sprite, so it isn't as big as what a player character would be.  For some reason, I'm finding it hard to get the hands and legs looking the way I want, and looking more realistic. I've made the head bigger due to personal taste, so please don't ask me to reduce the size comparison to the body. It's supposed to look chibi. Ratings are greatly appreciated guys.

I just whipped up a quick outline, Which I think would look quite good if utilized properly, And I added some shading to it.    Give a rating on the outline, and the shading seperate please. xD

I was bored last night, So i decided to have a look on eBay for some 'goods'. I was just plodding around on it for about 20 minutes, then decided to look how much the PS3's cost. I saw one for $400 with 3 minutes remaining. I looked at it for about 10 seconds. Then put a bid for $410 AUD. Got it. $40 postage. Express post. 2 Wireless Controllers. 2 Games. Elder Scrolls IV, Gran Turismo 5 (Should have GT5 finished within a week, I love my Racing Games xD). Lan cabel, POWER CABLEE!!! WOOT!! haha… yeah. And few others, cbf remembering. Anyways, to my point, What games do you guys think I should get that do not get boring or repetitive quickly. I like: RPG FPS Racing Online Fan based can be alrite, just as long as they are good! Anyways, what do ya all think?

Hilarious clip! http://youtube.com/watch?v=MugQDD2FcKQ

Rate which is better, and which should be my new signature.  

Heya guys, Just wanted you guys to check my 1st of 4 maps that i'm possibly entering into the mapping contest, I'm using a different style, Going to see how it goes for a bit.  As for the map, please rate /10 and give criticism where needed, and tips where applicable. Enjoy!

So its been a while since I implemented the new layout and directories for the Eclipse forums, so i was wandering how everyone is coping with it. Is it better? Is it worse? Any Problems? What would you rate the new change in terms of organization? Cheers.

Heya guys, I had the weirdest / coolest / worst week i've had in a while… And I thought I'd share it with you all. Well anyways, first of all, Monday came, and i had to go about an hour north to fit some truck tires, and our client there is Turkish. He gets a short fuse if you don't listen to him the first time, and we (me and my co-worker) started doing a different job instead of what he wanted (for a different client), so he started yelling at my co-worker (who is about 6'3" and 100kgs), and my co-worker just told him to calm down n shit. He kept yelling and yelling until he got a bit out of control and pushed my workmate, but, what he didn't know is that my workmate nearly died about 2 months ago (coma for 9 days and was potentially never going to wake up), so when he pushed him, he knocked his head on the truck door, which I didn't like, so i pushed the turkish guy into the truck, he took a swing at me and clipped my cheek, So I through a 1 punch back and knocked him unconscious (my bad :P). So that ended the cool day of my week. The next day (tuesday) i found out that the knock to the head of my workmate gave him horrible pains for the day, so he went home instead of work. During this day I had to change every truck tyre that came in (about 50 odd tires). And its hard work. Then today my other co-worker (a good mate) announced his resignation from the company, my boss went ape shit and ignored him the whole day afterwards... so soon I may be the only one working there (small company). Anyways, It was all in all a pretty interesting week!

Good Avo' Eclipse! Just here to announce the changes to the forums that have been made over the past 24 hours. If you haven't noticed already, The many different boards and categories have been reduced to 1 category with fewer boards, but Child boards. This may make it harder for members that have been around for a while, but It's been changed to help out newer users, with it being easier to find what is needed. Older members won't find it too hard to re-adjust, but for those that do, I'm sorry for the 'inconvenience' that it causes you, It may only be because you aren't used to it, but just think of securing Eclipse's Future, as this makes the Forums look a little more Professional. Thanks Guys, Enjoy!

It's my birthday today peeps! xD the big 18, I'm not legally aloud to drink publicly, buy cigarettes (which i never will) Buy good magazines ;) and do pretty much everything else in Australia!

How would your client load simple things such as Text, from a .ini file in the server folder, I've tried to parse a TEST and it comes with subscript out of Range (Using 'Trim(parse$(26))' ), Getting Text from a TEST.ini in server file. Anyone give a brief guide on how to?

I've collected 4 animals into this image and hidden them, hopefully very well. It's up to you to find those animals and tell me what they are!  Good luck All! P.S - Rate the difficulty ;)

Made in about 5 minutes each, rate them for style, colours, theme, difficulty, and overall likeness xD

I'm gonna post a quote that I've had stuck in my head, see if anyone knows what its from. (Non-Eclipse) > _Whats a corn dog doing under the ocean?_ Can anyone guess it? If you do, post your quote then.

Everyones names are screwed now, so far i've noticed these… Soljah (S.oljah) Anna Comnena (A.nna Comnena) Robin (R.obin) Renzo (R.enzo) Niko (N.iko) Baron (B.aron) Kreator (k.reator) Lost (L.ost) Japez (J.apez) Who is doing this? It's pretty annoying.

Just made the back view of a sprite, took me all of a few minutes, I reckon it looks alright, but could be better. Please give a rating and please give me pointers, also you have permission to edit and post the edited version but not to use.  Thanks

Check out this everyone, Have a look at the total members joined in 2006, then check out the amount joined in 2008! XD Eclipse is getting more popular every day! 

I'm just posting to commemorate Australia Day! As most of you know, lately we've had a nice rapid flow of members from Australia joining us, including the more popular ones, such as: Kreator, Nubzero, Japez, Timus, Imago, Haseo, And Myself! I'll give you a little information on Australia Day! > Australia Day is a national day and public holiday. For some years the holiday was held on the closest Monday, to provide a long weekend. It is now held on the actual anniversary, with that day being the public holiday. > > The National Australia Day Council (NADC) is the coordinating body for the Australian of the Year Awards and Australia Day celebrations across the nation. The NADC heads a network of state and territory Australia Day affiliate organisations and local Australia Day committees. > > Australia Day is marked by civic celebrations around the country, including the Order of Australia and Australian of the Year awards for outstanding achievement. Air Force aerial displays are held in some capital cities. In Sydney the ferry race and tall ships race has become tradition, along with a surfing race across the harbour. > > Citizenship ceremonies are also held on Australia Day. The Australia Day Achievement Medallion is awarded to citizens based on excellence in both government and non-government organisations. Customarily, the Prime Minister will make an address to the nation. > > Fireworks celebrations are held in many towns and cities around the country. The Perth Lotterywest Skyworks display is billed as the largest Australia Day celebration in the country, with more than a third of the city's population (around 500,000 estimated for the 2006 Skyworks) lining the river foreshore for the display. > > The Australian music scene enjoys a significant event on Australia Day - the Triple J Hottest 100\. The Sydney leg of the Big Day Out music festival has also traditionally occurred on Australia Day. In 2007 the event was held on 25 January due to the flag ban controversy at the event. There is also often a one day cricket match such as the 2006 Australia Day match in Adelaide. In Canberra the Australia Day Live Concert takes place where the Australian of the Year is announced. And now for some Good Aussie Soundtracks!!! (Lyrics) * * * –----------------------- Down Under - Men at Work ------------------------- Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six-foot-four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Lyin' in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Yeah! Living in a land down under Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover! Living in a land down under Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover! * * * –------------------------------- Waltzing Matilda - Banjo Patterson --------------------------------- Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong Under the shade of a Coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'". Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three "Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?", "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me". But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree, And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong, "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" * * * –----------------------- Australian National Anthem ------------------------- Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea: Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare, In history's page let every stage Advance Australia fair, In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross, We'll toil with hearts and hands, To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands, For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia fair. * * * I'd just like to say, for all you non-Australians out there, celebrate with us and join in on one of the most enjoyed days of the year for Australians! F**k Yeah!!!! AUSTRALIANS FTW! **_I love my country, I love my people, I'm proud of who I am, and where I'm from. If you feel the same way about Australia, post an inspirational phrase about Australia into your sig. Peace, Drongo's xD. I wish you a ripper of a Day._**

Hey guys, I think this should be fixed in the official Eclipse, And that is the fact that the F12 screenshot button clips 4 pixels from the right side of the map, and 1 pixel at the bottom. It took me all of 15 seconds to find the problem, but here is how to fix this problem on your own version of Eclipse Source. Open Client.vbp -> Navigate to your frmMirage Coding. Press Ctrl+F And type in vbkeyF12, or just F12, and it should highlight where we need.  Change: ``` ScreenShot.Picture = CaptureArea(frmMirage, 8, 6, 636, 479) ``` To this: ``` ScreenShot.Picture = CaptureArea(frmMirage, 8, 6, 640, 480) ```  Change: ``` ScreenShot.Picture = CaptureArea(frmMirage, 8, 6, 636, 479) ``` To this: ``` ScreenShot.Picture = CaptureArea(frmMirage, 160, 0, 640, 480) ``` If you have noticed the fix, I have just changed the Width and Height at which the screenshot is taken. Oh, And this only works if you **Have not** moved your picUber around. If you have moved this around, then change the **8** and **6** to the 'top' and 'left' that your picUber resides. Hope it helps.

I've just Registered and posted a contest against us on the Elysium forums. It's a mapping contest (obviously), And I was thinking, Lets see who has better Skill, Eclipse or Elysium Community. (Doing this could get us more members from Elysium to join Eclipse once we win!!) To make it less bias, When the maps are posted, I wont give information about which maps are which… Otherwise, Us, with 5k+ members will win over Elysium, with only 2.8k+ members.... Whaddya guys think?

I've made a Custom transition between two of my custom Tiles, Please rate them out of 10 and give feedback  Thanks

Hey guys, I made this button in about 5 mins, after learning how to use texture channeling, But I'm not sure it looks enough like stone… Give me your opinions.  Thanks

Hey guys, I've been working on some new GUI's (Source Work) And I can't seem to find one that is easy to use, yet nice on the eye… So far my best one I've done is this:  What do you guys think? And also, What do you guys think needs to be in a GUI for it to be catchy and easy to use.??? Peace.
