Updated topic with my edit of the EO Image Splitter, and I will keep all my edits of graphic tools in here. - 1.0.3 Released! 1.0.2 –> 1.0.3 (Edit by Helladen) - Fixed the sprites formula. It now is 100% accurate. (Used Robin's one, mine was messed up.) - Added where it updates properties if you change them automatically. - Added a little support for other types of cutting rather than for items. - Fixed several bugs and added more help messages. - Added where if you do something wrong it will reset your values. I also added more text to the read me file to help new people who use this tool.

**Eclipse Origins Image Splitter:** This is my edit of Robin's Image Splitter. What I did is allow a more in-depth split of images. You can now cut them by the X and Y. I changed it to Rows and Columns to make it easier on users, and you multiply the number you enter by 32 to equal what the value of the cut is. This means that if you make something 2 by 1, it will be 64x32 ratio. Images now load when you click on the file name and the properties are updated before the image is split to allow a more precise split. There's many other optimizations I did to it, but if you want me to add more just post something here. I just started doing VB6 a few days ago, so my progress is fairly good. You need to make a 2nd copy of your items manually for this to work right. This is my tip, and I may later on add an option for it to draw the same image twice. To do this you make a extra copy of your sheet, one of them will be black, and the second one will be RGB 181 or the same color as your GUI background. There's a Image Sample in the zip file to help new people use the tool. The tool will only cut the width you tell it to, the rest of the width is discarded. You will need to make the sheet the way the tool cuts for it to get all of the icons. Hopefully this all makes sense. It's very easy to do if you got a sheet already made. _The download is located below in an attachment._ **Authors:** Robin and Helladen **Version:** 1.0.3 **Open Source:** Yes **Language:** VB6/Visual Basic 6 **Rpg Maker VX Converter to Eclipse Stable:** This converter only works with the old set-up of Eclipse, this will not make compatible sprites for Eclipse Origins. The only problem I have found with this converter is because the people who setup the sprites for these engines did it all jacked up. They have it all the same then the right direction is a different setup, so you have to fix 1 direction if you want to stand still when you are not moving. Robin fixed this in EO which I was impressed to see, along with 3 frame movement. _The download is located below in an attachment._ **Author:** Vaughand Hilts **Language:** C#/C Sharp. (2008) **Open Source:** No **Version:** 1.0.2 **Requirements:** Framework 2.0 **Do I have the source:** I used to, but not anymore. **What working formats does this use:** I know PNG works and it will automatically make the background black. I'm sure BMP works, but haven't tested it. **File Size:** 96x128, Rpg Maker VX's default sizing for 1 character. **Will this do more than one sprite sheet at a time:** Yes you put all of them in a folder, names do not matter, and it will combine them all together. It automatically has a check sum, so it will warn you if a file is not correctly sized. **AIO Image Splitter:** **What does AIO mean:** It means it is an all in one splitter, it will be able to cut most things up the way you want. Saving you hours of work! **Where can I get help on using this program:** There's a help page when you load it up. Just click on it and read the instructions. _The download is located below in an attachment._ **Author:** Aero/Elliott Brown **Language:** C#/C Sharp. (2010) **Open Source:** No **Version:** 1.5.0 **Requirements:** Framework 2.0 **Tile/Image Joiner:** I will not explain how to use this tool, but it will take separate files and put them together into a sheet. It works like Robin's splitter, but it will combine the image rather than split it. **Language:** VB6/Visual Basic 6 **Open Source:** No **Version:** 1.1.0 **Author:** DarkLight Games _The download is located below in an attachment._ Enjoy!

You need to edit the name on the main-game form and any other form's with the EO name in them.

Eclipse Origins they will, but it will require work on your part. Some of them and some of them won't also. EO only supports 12 frame movement, so you have to only include the ones the program uses or program more in yourself. Sorry if this is a necro post. :p

Eclipse Stable, go to the downloads section. It's a newer version of Eclipse. The website downloads are probably outdated compared to the forum ones.

- (RTE 9) This appears when you right click and try to do one of the functions in the player console on a blank line. It could be considered a bug, but not sure. This could be done accidentally, so I think it should be fixed. - (RTE 6) This happens if you spam cast a AoE spell for awhile. It isn't at first, but eventually it will say overflow. - (RTE 9) Subscript out of range. This happens when you are online and you try to restart the server. This happens at the last second of the restart right before it shuts down.

Ah ok. Sorry for the waste of time.

Alright sorry. But I did notice that if you have an editor open and you log out to the menu it doesn't close them. It only closes them when you completely close the client.

The Esc/Enter one is, and sorry I thought they were when I posted. xD

- I think [Map], etc should have a space after the player's name between the message. It just looks cleaner in my opinion. Easily fixed, but thought I'd share my thought of it. - The target system if you target yourself it says your name, it should say yourself or something similar. - The map editor when you click shop there's no way to get out of the menu unless you accept a shop, but I think there should be a cancel button. - There needs to be a admin menu slash command. You can use this code if you want, or write your own. Easy implementation. **Commands:** ``` Case "/ap" If GetPlayerAccess(MyIndex) < ADMIN_MONITOR Then AddText "You need to be a high enough staff member to do this!", AlertColor GoTo Continue End If frmMainGame.picAdmin.Visible = Not frmMainGame.picAdmin.Visible ``` - No character selection form. - The drop form, esc and enter do not work and it should set your cursor's position there automatically.

Three things I noticed with trade, but it looks really awesome. - Capitalization on it looks off, offer on Derrick's side should be upper case and no period. The box is a little off on the edges, the left edge is has a little more room than the right edge of the menu for trade. Other than it seems good. :) (The left side is 1 pixel wider than the right side) - Also off topic, but I think [Map], broadcast, etc there should be a space after that before the name. It looks cleaner in my opinion. - The target system if you target yourself it says your name, it should say yourself or something.

He's probably aware of this. Bugs: - When you logout the map editor doesn't close. (Maybe other editors) - The Morals in the map properties, the scrollbar should be the maximum morals. - The music shouldn't be named music 1, 2, etc, and use names instead to be friendly to users. - The music that plays when you load up the client, there should be an option to turn it on or off if there isn't already and in the config.ini to change the music.

There were a lot of tutorials on OGC and I think there was a sadscript one. Dummy Magus shut it off though. xD Would be an easy modification to work on Origins probably.

Robin a quick tutorial I did for people that use netbooks add it if you want. Would save me work on putting it back in later. Some people like to use slash commands as well. **Commands:** ``` Case "/ap" If GetPlayerAccess(MyIndex) < ADMIN_MONITOR Then AddText "You need to be a high enough staff member to do this!", AlertColor GoTo Continue End If frmMainGame.picAdmin.Visible = Not frmMainGame.picAdmin.Visible ``` Then add the command /ap to the /admin command. EDIT: Fixed the bug I made with access. Also a bug I am trying to fix right now is when your admin access is revoked the admin menu should close.

It's fine to leave it was just giving my input.

Ever thought of just removing block and having directional block automatically 4 blocked. Then allow users to unblock them if they want? This would prevent users from accidentally misusing block and directional block on the same tile or whatever. Very nice feature, I am a big fan of Rpg Maker.

@Cheshire: > @Robin: > > > There source is right over there pal, have fun programming it like that. > > Ok "pal". But don't forget that if you want more people to use your engine, maaybe you should aim at making it as "user-friendly" as possible. Not everyone can program, or want to. And besides this, I know you very well agree with what I said about rendering. But whatever will be. Excuse me? BUT this engine is much easier to use than Eclipse. The only good engine on here is Robin's. The only two problems I encountered when working with it for a short-while was the sprites were setup differently than Eclipse. Which may be a issue to a lot of people, and the items being 64x32\. But Robin has a converter for the items.

Robin's engines always have the best UIs. :)

There are female characters, but both were not added to the party yet. I didn't finish all the chapters. I might finish it later on, but noticed a small mapping bug damn! D: Your signature always catches my attention lol.

Seven Ancient powers were created thousands of years ago with unimaginable, and devastating power of their own type. Beings called Ancients controlled these powers from a place called Armageddon. Each of these powers are represented with an element, and their own specific name. The elements are Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. Before anyone could steal these powers the Ancients locked them away into seven temples where they would remain until the one of great evil was born. A boy named Zephyr who was born in Radia is given the role to defend these temples from a great evil. Zephyr wonders the coasts of Zangard looking for his purpose in life, what he doesn't realize is that the Ancients had sent him down to do this special task. Zamachar is known as the Ultimate Weapon of Destruction. Who takes hold of the world with the help of the powers from the Zodiac. An ancient blood line that runs through Zephyr and Zamachar. The only person capable of defeating Zamachar is Zephyr himself. **Screenshots:**       **Characters:** Zephyr >!  He is a rude person who likes to do things on his own. Born in the country of Zangard. He lived in Radia during his childhood. Zephyr was orphaned when he was five when his family was killed by a raid by the nation of Sylia.

I totally agree with you Koovo.

I don't care who's right or wrong. I quit after Robin replied. Basically we all are just stating our opinions and little facts as evidence. Your wrong we entered WWII, because there was no other alternative Hitler was growing in power and the thing that ticked us off was the japs bombing Pearl Harbor. Us bombing the Japanese was just something to save millions of lives. Any country would of done it, so don't give me that bull-shit. You can't change the past, but this world is ducked. Every country is and that's the plain and simple version of it. You should love your country no matter how ducked it is and if you want me to dis my own then you got another thing coming.

@Azure: > @Robin: > > > @Helladen: > > > > > It is a matter of opinion, but our country is slowly falling out of the top. > > > > You honestly think America is in the top spot? > > > > @spf1119: > > > > > I believe every American should be forced to commiserate with people from other countries while they are growing up. Only when I talked to people from outside my borders did I realize how insanely myopic the entire establishment of the US is. People here really can't seem to understand why the world gets mad at us. It is not evil that's the problem here I think, just incredible, earth-shattering, incalculable, painfully entrenched ignorance. > > > > Here's a quick list of things which have left horrible scars which you ignore: > > > > * Nagasaki & Hiroshima > > * Biological Weapons > > * The Land Mine Treaty > > * The Arms Trade > > > > And some qualities which make us hate you: > > > > * Short term strategies & long term suffering > > * Heavy handed commercial aggression > > * Patriotism & self righteousness > > * Self glorifying of World War 2 > > * Obesity > > * Rape and violent crime statistics > > * Foreign Aid: USA is stingiest of the 22 most developed countries > > * Support of obnoxious regimes > > * International discord and contempt of the UN > > *Stands in total awe of Robin's greatness* "I'm not worthy" Robin just because our country has a lot of bad doesn't mean crap and our country is about to be passed by China so I do not think our country is the top dog or will be for much longer. There's always bad in everything, and democracies always fall after 300-400 years. Our country has been alive since 1776-2010 our time is about up. Without us you would not be here, and German would control the world. Led by Hitler, one of the most evil men in history. (It says in the Bible that the Jews will suffer and Hitler did the first 3-4 years of suffering.) Now you other countries need to quit dissing the USA, our country was once great and we were protectors of the world. If you studied US history at all we went into World War to stop it and our soldiers were among the bravest men by far. Japanese soldiers were running into bullets trying to confuse the soldiers and all kinds of things that dishonors there country. Now we're not always right, but hell, the world would be in a lot worse shape if we never existed.

Most topics drift off anyways, but DND is sort of satanic lol.

This will be our last president most likely anyway.
