The runtimes use a fail safe method. If you have the files already registered it does not replace them. If it does it, it simply adds them to a new folder in your Windows folder. I honestly do not know if there is a registry key linking them, but it most likely does. Although, it isn't that big of an issue since you can uninstall and then it will remove those entries anyway.

You can use Inno Setup, or I can make you a custom one however you want for $5.

> I'm picky because I have a full time (salaried) job. I don't have too much free time, so I ration it out. No problem. :P

> T > So, you're "tweaking" a current vb6 engine while you work with another programmer to build a new engine? In what language? (this is all relevant in my decision making process) It's fine, I already got someone. :P I got a GUI already for my own games, this was for Eclipse not myself and if it is good, of course people will use it, and being paid you had no reason to deny it in the first place. I will work for money on any engine. I am not picky. Picky people typically make excuses not to do work. Anyway, the engine is in C# using HTML5 and TypeScript.

> I know this is so off topic, so I do apologise, but what do you mean by, "This engine is a stepping stone to attract developers then convert their games to a new engine". Can you expand on that? > > I am getting people to make their games now and to convert them with the new engine I am working on. Basically, building a group of people using the engine so that when the new one comes out people will already have games in the works.

> I agree, so why are you making your engine in VB6? It is much less work. This Eclipse Worlds engine was just picked up from an unfinished product that only took a few months to complete. Over the span of a year, I have put in a lot of work to it, but doing an engine from scratch is something I am not talented enough to do. I am not a great programmer, I am a great developer that is able to take an engine and iterate on it. This is why I am working with a different programmer. This engine is a stepping stone to attract developers then convert their games to a new engine. That's my end game plan. That's why I have been branching this out to get ready for the future.

> VB6 valid for ten more years? it's not even a valid use-case today. Maybe not to start from scratch with, but businesses that have applications made with it are not going to upgrade to .NET anytime soon. Remember that .NET is Microsoft's attempt at cloning Java into their own language. This is the main mistake Microsoft made 10 years ago, because they never officially had VB.NET a transition for old programs properly. They made it OO when VB.NET should never have been an OO language.

> It's not that, it's that I don't want to support archaic technology. Not worth the time/effort. I am going to reuse it for a different engine. This technology is still valid for 10 years. If it works, what's the problem? A lot of people still use it in business life. I am a hipster myself with tech, but I see value in sustaining this awhile longer to transition the community to a new engine. This is step one of that plan. I need to also make converters for the other versions of Eclipse.

> Edit: Wait… looks like VB6... not interested. You don't have to do any work involving the engine. I am making it transparent like Nin Online. > Umm, a bit off topic… Why are you wanting a new interface? I thought you moved onto bigger and better things? I am trying to make a platform for developers to start with now rather than waiting 6 months or longer for the better engine to come along.

I am looking for a talented artist that is able to make a complete interface set for my engine Eclipse Worlds. You will both be doing the community a service and yourself, since I am paying money for you to do it. I will not do a professional rate, but I expect that your work to be fair and to meet me somewhere in the middle. * Art must be created by you. * Must be a complete set and not partially completed. * You agree that this commission jobs gives me rights to your art 100%, you may still use it in your portfolio, but you cannot resell the set or use it. I need a menu and game interface, this will be talked about in Skype, add me via Helladen. Take note, I will not pay unless I am satisfied with it. I will not pay upfront unless you are very creditable such as Rory.

Yessir, we are working on it already.

> … I was like what is that coming from…

> Pro Tip: This could be the greatest thing since sliced bread but your grammar and spelling is going to make people think twice. Agreed, this made me think at first he stole the code and claimed it as his own, because he said I am a pro coder and used a generic name like ORPGClient.

Looks nice, good luck.

New update again. Update 4 Changes ------------- ? Reduced game lag. ? Fixed bug with being stuck on loading screen. ? Improved touch input controls with interface. ? Bug fix with ad not displaying when game finishes loading. ? Fixed bug with music and sound buttons' alignment. ? Misc. changes.

Yeah, took 2-3 weeks to actually redo a lot of this game. I learned a lot, even if it is just a Flappy Bird+. :P

New update! We are working on Google Play Games support and iOS update still. We will have a Ladder that links both games together allowing people to fight for the top hiscore - including 5 Achievements. The game should run much smoother now. I spent a long time fixing bugs and enhancing the interface. Update 3 Changes ------------- ? Updated the game, menu, shop, and loading interfaces. ? Made the wooden bridge not have collision and general improvements to the level. ? Many changes to sounds and text. ? New music. ? Improvements to the interface. ? Fading effects added to Shop. ? Improved FPS and compatibility with other devices. ? Music and sound buttons now save upon exit and work better. ? Rocket Trail animation speed reduced by 50%. ? Added portrait down support. ? Fixed many bugs/misc.

> Just talking in terms of making money, it'd probably be more worth it than the current method. Vaughan and I are working on a new engine.

> I am guessing you mean Genesis2D which is not an Eclipse engine. That and it was horribly coded + closed-source.

Necro.

> :huh: I have a legal copy of Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise. Interesting okay anyway, things reduce value over time, and yada yada. Let's move on. :P

> Thought this sort of thing was what pms where for… It was to bring awareness to improvements to the Visual Basic 6 IDE. As it stands, even if you buy it, it is unusable pretty much. The way it works is really poor and barely supported. This makes it work flawlessly.

Right, I will just tell people to Google it. I'm not directly linking them to it. Regardless, the moral high ground for something not really enforced is just not really that necessary.

> New engine? So Eclipse Worlds will be not continue? Not very much longer. It isn't worth it anymore.

Obviously, Microsoft would tell you not to steal it if you asked, but in the general sense it is really unacceptable for them to force this software to be paid only still. It's over a decade old software that has had no updates.
