Just depends on what type of connection you have, computer stats etc.

It's all based on opinion. I say just go with C++ C because almost all major companies use C++ C if you really want to find work as a programmer or even do it as a hobby it's the most supported programming out there. It's not that hard

TCP/UDP have there own uses.

You'll prolly need to start with, looking for the code that handles the chat system. Look how chats are handled. Then maybe do a google search on how to filter words in Visual Basic 6\. Have fun

@Soul: > WoW and other MMOs are allowed to not use UDP, they have immense amount of resources and power. For them it's easier just to use TCP. The reason I suggested UDP is it's faster. I wouldn't use UDP it's faster but you may lose some data while sending, TCP is much more reliable

Torraske: Ogre, and Irrlicht are 3D but you can create a 2D game with 3D graphics with them. Then you'll have much more features for your graphics engine of your game. Also Eclipse is great if you want to use something that is limited. If your willing to learn VB then go for it, It wont hurt you can do anything you want with the engine as long as you dont say you built the whole thing.

As Stephen said don't hand in the faster programming types for VB6 dude, it's worthless VB6 is outdated and I am sure it's not even really supported anymore. Go with C++ or C use Irrlicht or Ogre3D hell even SDL would work depends what you want to do then add some winsock into it multithread it or use select if your not that good with threads an then go from there. EO is a good engine for people that don't want to reinvent the wheel but I like reinventing xD

It's not going to be easy.

You'll need to reprogram the DirectX 8(I think that's what EO uses). Or you could "Fake it" Basicly draw your tiles so they look Isometric, and make your character same way, or you could reprogram it all. Isometric math is kinda difficult if your new to programming.

Why not ask "Where is the code located for the timer of the drop?" Instead of the question you asked which made sense to answer the way I did.

Once again SOURCE you must change source to change ANYTHING inside Eclipse Origins! No one is gonna just hand out code, figure it out find the code that uses the timmer an change it or remove it without endangering your code okay okay

Shading is what you need. There is no light looks like the same light where ever. So add shadow, add a light source and shading.

Isn't _int main(void)_ depreciated? The void part not the _int main()_

I run it it says "version outdated"

It's only possible through source editing.

Just keep messing with it until you find what your server needs. It's fairly simple run a whole day with it locked see if anyone complains then do the next day unlocked once again keep doing it until you get a wide amount of complants or find what your sever needs.

Learn Visual Basic 6 first then all these answer will become clear.

@βluΣ: > ok, can you explain to me what to edit? :). Im new at vb6\. it would be very nice if you walked me thru things :D Were not going to tell you how to do it, you need to learn Visual Basic. So go learn it come back an start out small n work your way through code, when you come up with a error post it an we'll be more then happy to help you fix the problem, but were not going to do everything for you.

obviously you'll need to learn Visual Basic 6, get a compilier for it, then this question will come as easy as breathing.

You'll need to add another layer in the map tile code, in the source. To do this

1) Make sure your editing the right code 2) Make sure your synax is correct 3) Make sure you are compiling, where it makes a .exe file for you

@S.J.R.: > Encryption is useless for the purpose of protecting files in case of Eclipse: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,70570.0.html > > Regards, > Stephan. Didn't there used to be a encryption program made for eclipse? Long time ago for like EE? Wouldn't that still work?

Learn VB6 and code it yourself.

You can't really protect your graphics you can encrypt them but if someone really wants them they can get them. So don't worry about it the likely hood of you creating a game with such potential that someone would want to steal your work, to use for a private server, or another game is very slim.

Sorry I'm calling Bull Shit on this one, it's too close to April Fools Right now for me to even for one second believe this.
