You do understand how many pokemon games have been made on this forum right, if you make one make sure it stands out. Use google and search bluntly, you'll find what you are looknig for. http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&q=Pokemon%20Charsets&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Thanks, if you have trouble just drop a line, I had a hell of a time the first time I tried converting.

Understand that this is not a functional map converter, it is designed for people who need there maps converted and don't know where to start. [Map Converter Template](http://www.7-nations.com/MapConverterSource.zip) It is a pretty basic concept if you have any questions about the functionality post here and myself or anotehr developer will be able to help you. AGAIN this is a basic template which you can use to convert any maps you have both sources too. Hope this helps someone. ~Spainion

I made this in like 4 minutes for someone else its untested but should work fine. **First we need to declare a new surfaces to be drawn on:** **Add This To: modDirectX.bas** ``` Public DD_BGround As DirectDrawSurface7 Public DDSD_BGround As DDSURFACEDESC2 ``` **This is where we set up the surface, and choose what image the surfaces uses. If you want to change the image that the background uses you can change. _Background.bmp_ to a different name.** Find ' Sub InitSurfaces' In modDirectX and add this code, with this test of the code that loops like it. ``` DDSD_BGround.lFlags = DDSD_CAPS DDSD_BGround.ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLAIN Or DDSCAPS_SYSTEMMEMORY Set DD_BGround = DD.CreateSurfaceFromFile(App.Path & "\GFX\backround.bmp", DDSD_BGround) ``` **This is the code needed to declare the area in the image you are using. In our case we will be using a 640x480 image called 'Backround.bmp' In your GFX folder.** **Add this to: Anywhere in gameLogic** ``` Public Sub BltBackround rec.Top = 0 rec.Bottom = 480 rec.Left = 0 rec.Right = 640 Call DD_BackBuffer.BltFast(0, 0, DD_BGround, rec, DDBLTFAST_WAIT) End Sub ``` **Last we need to draw the background on the game screen by calling it in the gameloop.** **Add this to: Find this code:** ``` For y = 0 To MAX_MAPY For x = 0 To MAX_MAPX Call BltTile(x, y) Next x Next y ``` **Change the code above to:** ``` Call BltBackround For y = 0 To MAX_MAPY For x = 0 To MAX_MAPX Call BltTile(x, y) Next x Next y ``` note: there is probably a better way to do this like setting the backbuffer to the image, but meh this works fine.

 Yeah, there is no source showoff section this is mainly to get publicity for Seven Nations but… I added this to the source, its the ability to Paperdoll any NPC's with anything you want. Whats everyone think of that? _promotion:If you think its cool make sure to check Seven Nations for tones of other cool source mods._

Rathlar's PHP, and DG's server Pointers, I just added it to the source (With Permission) Rathlar, Designed the Cards, I made the paperdoll What does everyone think?

Soo, any reason why GetTickCount would stop working? It works but any commands that use it just go false or exit the sub and the only thing I can find pertaining to it is… ``` Public Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long ``` What is all the code that determines the Tick Count? Anyone have any suggestions? I can't attack, NPC's Can't attack me, and my health doesn't regenerate. It either has to do with AttackTimer or GetTickCount… If I comment out... > If GetTickCount < MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).AttackTimer + 1000 Then > **Exit Function** > End If NPC's can attack its just uncontrolled at rapid speeds. If I pause the source, and reset the tick count… Npc's mysteriously attack again... **For Anyone who has this problem just restart your server don't spend 6 hours working hard at finding solutions like me.**

Rate 1/10 please All the windows in the GUI are transparent, as you can probably see I thing its probably one of the first of its kind. 

Ok, so I have been working on my own source for a long time now and I decided it was time to put it all together and make a game with it, I am trying to come up with a name and such without luck, but I'll come up with something (for anyone who is wondering, this is not the full custom project I have been working on) Rate the GUI Layout, and any changes I might make to improve it. All the menus including inventory and such are transparent over the game window.  Huh? Huh? Not bad Eh?

Well, I am just wondering what the community had to say. The story as it goes is, I logged into a EE Developers game with an Unreleased 2.5 Source(The one everyone will be using) I talked to the owner and told him I was trying to find security loopholes. After about 40 minutes I found one got a bunch of gold and took a little jog around the world. Then went to the forums reported the bug, so that the Developer could fix it in 2.5 so other people won't have problems with packet editors. I even PM'ed Marsh and the Developer offering to fix it. For some reason you you people are so hostile to White Hat hackers, if it wasn't for me telling everyone a black hat hacker could come and just fuck around with all the eclipse games. Who thinks I am in the right or the wrong? Please explain your answer. _(I will not mention the game or the developer, please do not remove this post)_

Do people like it strait up or transparent?  Got bored so I added transparency to this form.

**10 Times Your normal Exp for 24 Hours then 4 Times Exp for two Weeks!** _(Yeah Move this to wherever it belongs you said talk about anything)_

Yeah, I have been sick of it for a long god damn time, but what other genre's of games can be made with eclispe other then Pokemon? Like Is it possible to make NPC's shoot? then Space games and Gang games would be possible, its practically just a engine that makes Fantasy only online games.

Is it possible to add partical effects from vbGore into eclipse and my SQL support ex, ex… I know that vb Gore uses Direct X8 for Partical Effects but none the less, is it possible

We need beta testers, remember this game has highscores so it may get competitive! The first to level 45 will be given 50 on Alchemy, Forging, Woodcutting and Fishing and a sum of 60,000 Guildian. The three to make level 32 will be given the chance to make a guild free of charge and of a quest. **The first 20 people to log in will be given 3000 Guildian to fund there account when they see me.** **Game Info:** > Storyline:Our storyline is flaked, if anyone wants to expand on this go ahead.

**Hosting** I am willing to host any eclipse server for a bi-weekly payment of 10USD I will only be accepting PayPal payments, I have a verified PayPal account, as most of you know if I rip you off you can report me to PayPal and they charge my account and refund you within 2 or 3 days. **Server Specs** **1.0 Ghz Processor 512 Mbs of Ram 32 Mb Video Card 5Mb/s DSL Connection **Remote Desktop Access** Harddrive Access (20Gb) Pretty much like controlling a computer from and application just as if you were in front of it DynDNS Access (If you have a dynamic IP(one that changes) I can link the server to a domain name for free, eg. http://Yourgamename.Gamehost.org:5000** **The specs are low but you can host any eclipse game off of this server with no lag, I hosted Fifth Curse from it and there were no problems.** The price is non-negotiable this is very cheap for your own personal computer accessible from the internet. If you would like to discuss terms I have no problems with that PM me here, Post or Add [email protected] _Note: Any idiot that wants to flame or say anything negative don't post, This is a real service, I don't care if your game is complete shit either you pay, you control everything_

Any devs want to make this available to the public so we can change account format without trying to re-write our own editor. Thanks to anyone who helps

No this is not childish I thought we had worked our differences out but unfortunately he doesn't let up. > Demon X says: > Oooh lets see.. Created thousands of random accounts… logged in and messed with packets... I am asking to have him banned from the forums, this is no joke.  @Any_Key: > This is not even close to funny > http://86.145.123.79/ > > Demon X: > **STOP THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!**

Yes this is the thing Demon and I butt heads constantly about everything and buttons get pushed that don't need to. I Apologize to the eclipse community for the fighting publicly it made some bad blood boil. I Apologize to Demon X for probably being the cause of him having his rights stripped from the forums. Demon has official said FC can use VBMP (If we give him credit) and furthermore I will not be posting in his thread on his forums and he will not be on mine, he no longer has any connection to Fifth Curse or anything else related to me for that matter. *Awaits Demons Post*

@demon: > This is a final warning. Remove VBMP. > > Allow me to teach you a valuable programming lesson. > An ActiveX Control is a special type of Application that can be used in the source code of other software to make it part of that program. > > A.K.A. VBMP is software compatible with, and used in, EE > > VBMP, an ActiveX Control, was created for public use, not Eclipse only. EE is Open Source, true. That doesn't make VBMP Open Source. It's like saying RuneScape is Open Source just because Linux, a platform that it can be played on, is open source. > > Now shut up and remove it before I revoke permission to use SimpleUpdater also. My response: @Spainion: > You put the active X control into an open source client and gave permission for the eclipse community to use it you cannot Revoke permission to use it based on an individual basis. > > Same goes for Simple Updater. > > Eclipse Evolution is open source which has permission to sue the control if you want to take it from me, take it from all of eclispe and give directions on how to remove it from the source since you implemented it. Did demon not offer to put VBMP in the Eclipse evolution source? So demon where are the directions how to remove it from the source with no bugs and implent the old system you can't just shout take my software out when someone already has permission to use it there is no contact and no copyright on VBMP.ocx so go to hell.

 I Know that it does this because its a RT Textbox, but I still found it interesting? lol

> - Added a conversion program for the accounts and converted some of the account values to longs to support more than 32767 items / currency, along with not crashing on more than 32767 exp I want to implement this into my client clearly having a max of 32767 exp when playing is stupidity. Anyone know where to start or have another way of making Exp and items limitless? I know that there are probably a few ways to fix this, can any of the advanced Devs just point me in the right direction, I have Spodi's Version which has it fixed but I need to fix it in the FC client and I am not sure of any methods of fixing overflows. Thanks, to anyone who helps me out here

EE 2.1 Shop Page Bug, Anyone know about this. When you press the second page the old items pictures are still there. I am not waiting until hell freezes over for EE 2.4 so if anyone has a fix it would be appreciated, also I am looking for a fix to the EE head shows at feet fix..

What causes this? I mean thats pretty blunt but it never happens to me and happens to some other people sometimes.
