I am confuzzled. I have completed the Port Forwarding tutorial NUMEROUS times, and tested whether or not the port was open at http://whatsmyip.org/ports/ Just today, i was reading through the age old Port Forwarding topic and discovered barons post. I completed it, then tried the port tester. Previously, the tester would return 'Closed' or 'Stealth' when i entered my port, 5001\. This time it returned Open!! YAY! However, then i enter my IP and Port into Eclipse. OFFLINE??? OFFLINE!?!?!? Are you mad? There must be something wrong. Has anybody had the same problem? I am using a D-Link DSL-502T ADSL Router. This is so annoying. Please help :( I will pay you in bank robs :) BUMP

 **EVERY TIME YOU POST THIS KITTEN GETS SHOT. BLAST AWAY!** _Note: I did not take this picture, i am not actually going to shoot a kitten and no, i do not endorse animal cruelty._ nawt the kitty!!

Can somebody please try to connect to the following i.p and port from any EE client and tell me if they can connect? [offline/online?] IP: tribalcorp1.servegame.com PORT: 5001 Thanks! Will be much appreciated :D

Player Trade Request Box Tutorial This tutorial assumes you are using Eclipse Evolution [not tested on other versions]. This tutorial explains how to install a small form, like the settings form into your game. The player enters a user-name into the text box and if the player is online the player recieves a trade-request. This makes Player to Player Trading a WHOLE lot easier! This is a MUST-HAVE in ANY eclipse game. **NOTE: I will include an accept/reject trade guide in this topic soon.** **TUTORIAL BEGINS HERE:** 1] Load frmMirage in VB6 2] Using the Picture Box tool, make a picture box roughly the same width and half the height of the settings box anywhere ON the gamescreen. Name this _picBarter_ 3] Create a small Command Button inside this picture box. Name it _cmdBarter_ 4] Create a text box suitable for a players name inside this picture box. Name it _txtBarter_ 5] Create a Command Button anywhere NOT on the game screen. For example, below where the HP, MP and EXP bars are located. Name this _cmdGoBarter_ 6] Create a label just above txtBarter in the picture box. Name it _lblBarter_. Change the caption to something like: "Player to send Request to". Create another label and name it _lblx_ . Change the caption to: "Cancel" and place it at the bottom of picBarter. 7] Now, double click cmdBarter. This will open the code window, with Private Sub cmdBarter_Click(). Enter the following code between Private Sub cmdBarter_Click() and End Sub: ``` ' Check if the name is long enough If Len(txtBarter.Text) > 3 Then Call SendTradeRequest(txtBarter.Text) Else Call AddText("Invalid Command", AlertColor) End If MyText = "" Exit Sub ``` 8] Now, single click on picBarter. In the properties window, find the 'visible' property. Select 'False'. 9] Double click on cmdGoBarter. Enter the following code in the between Sub cmdGoBarter_Click() and End Sub: ``` picBarter.Visible = True ``` 10] Double click on lblx. Enter the following code in the sub: ``` picBarter.Visible = False ``` **YOUR DONE!** Now players will be able to trade a whole lot easier in your game increasing player economy in your game!

Hi, Before i got broadband other players could easily connect to my server. Now, my IP is 10.1.1.3 and nobody connect [except for hamachi. NOT an option]. Is there anything i can do to disable this {whatever} feature?

Server Select Source Code Tutorial Hey guys, i'm back [olliepop, olliepopMUTE, olliepopMUTED] and have rejoined the forums on a non-muted account. I promise i wont do anything to get muted again :) Now i promised a Source-Code tut on server select a while back in http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/index.php/topic,18635.0.html , but i got muted so i couldn't. Now i'm back i'm going to post it :D **TUT BEGINS HERE** 1-Open up client in VB6 2-Load the ipConfig form 3-Create a new button. In the properties tab name it: _cmdServer1_ 4-Repeat the step above but name it: _cmdServer2_ 5-Double click _cmdServer1_ and it will load the code window. In Sub cmdServer1_click() or similar enter this code within the sub name and end sub: ``` 'IP Address. Edit According to Server1 TxtIP.Text = "127.0.0.1" 'Port Adress. Edit According to Server1 TxtPort.Text = "4001" 'Make disabled cmdServer1.Enabled = False cmdServer2.Enabled = True ``` 6-Double click _cmdServer2_ and it will load the code window.

This tutorial also assumes that TxtIP and TxtPort are located on the IpConfig form, visible or not. [Disable visible if you do not wish the user to see the IP for your server].** -ollie [is sorry :(]
