It means that the variable doesn't exist. Go into ModConstants and add somewhere Public Const MAX_GUILD_RANKS_PERMISSION = 5 change 5 to whatever the maximum permissions you want to be.

Assuming it's the same as older versions. Go into your items editor. Make an item, set the item as spell type, set the spell to the one you want. Then give yourself the item and use it (double click it) and presto. You have the spell!

Does DX8 support .bmp textures larger than it's .png counterpart? i've no issue with doing all my characters items and stuff.. It's just the tile sets. Mine are huge… I can't think of any easy way to change this to suit 512 maximum height of textures as far as the map data goes for tiles.

You don't understand how much I've edited in the source of Kryce… It's not simpler to just switch to a new engine...

Such as? The real only benefit of DX8 in a 2d game is the use of it's alpha channels… With such things you can produce massive lighting effects that are apparently impossible with DX7...

Okay, so before anyone asks i won't be changing engine. Kryce is developed in EE (heavily ripped up and modded). Now it would be very interesting and benefitial to change from DX7 to DX8. However, i have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how DX8 works, and it is one hell of a job. I mean it's not just ripping the initial subs from EO/EN, it's then getting EVERYTHING to work on the game screen alongside then changing every editor to work correctly. Plus from what i understand it also means converting my tilesets so they're only 512 px high, and then re-mapping the entire game world to suit this new tile format. I'd happily keep my tiles as a .bmp, realistically i only want dx8 for fog, quite literally the only reason i want it. Can anyone shed some light on somewhere i can get a grip of how DX8 actually works inside vb6 for a 2D engine? (or if somebody would happily be paid to convert for me I may consider this, although i would expect the job to be done properly and completely by a trusted member of the community.)

Should be yes. NSTC is america basically, PAL is most of europe.

You might want to add if they're PAL or NSTC. Just a suggestion

Thanks man :) Feel free to pass the link around :P

Going live again now. Doing more work on the new Guild System inspired by the anime Fairy Tail.

When i read "bats" all i could think of is you're going to spam your players with zubats… 

I will be streaming any time I am working on the project. However during the streaming sessions i will most likely take breaks as I do live with flat mates.

Hi guys, It's been over a year now since the Kryce-Online server went down indefinitely. It was a sad moment when the community of Kryce had to disperse, however there were a handful who stayed around on the forums. I am proud to announce that i am picking my old game back up and re-building it to set this story that we were writing as a community back on track. If you wish to tune in i will be live streaming over at: http://www.twitch.tv/kris_hole# Thanks Guys, Happy Gaming :)

So there I was, two monitors on, one with the map, one with ARMA II. I had just died from a few zombies slapping me to death, re spawned new Electrozavodsk. Just then I had a brain wave! I'd read a few of the "Survival tips 101"'s around reddit and the internet but nothing really stuck, then I noticed the eye and ear icons on the right and wondered if these were just for players or zombies or what. After a few seconds of mere pissing around in the game I realised that these represented how 'visible' I was to the zombies. With this new found knowledge I deemed it time that i was to waltz on into the town, raid the hospital and the store and leave unscaved! Not quite how it ended up turning out. Instead of waltzing into the town I proned all the way through. Yes, literally crawled on my stomach through the entire town. NOT A SINGLE ZOMBIE NOTICED ME! After finding an Alice bag, a few blood bags, morphine, bandages, cans and tins I had decided it was time to escape. On my way out of the town I noticed a house which you could enter. Instantly I thought, HA! Time to raid! As soon as I entered the house I managed to break my leg turning round a fucking door frame… After I fixed this up with morphine and a bandage I then continued scurrying around the building, finding a few empty tin cans etc, I headed upstairs. I couldn't hear or see a single zombie anywhere, so I just stood up and walked around normally, I went into one room and found a Lee Enfield with a few mags. Prior to ever finding this gun I had absolutely no idea of just how loud it was. Whilst I was looking around upstairs I don't know if a zombie had triggered seeing me through the window or what, I have no idea, all I know is after finding the gun one little white point appeared on the screen, followed by a few clangs and bangs. Next thing I know a zombie is crawling through the door, I take my stance, aim down the barrel, and... BOOM! MY FIRST ZOMBIE KILL WITH A HEAD SHOT! With a lot more emphasis on that boom... I then found 2 revolver mags on the zombie and begin to squat my way own the stairs. About half way down I suddenly hear the song of the dead. 7 fucking zombies come walking through the only exit, I'm guessing it was from the sound of the gun, 9 shots left, took out each one. I left the building to be great by a further 3 zombies, 2 of these managed to land a hit on me so with my amazing Arma II No Scoping skills I (wasted an entire mag) shot all three of these vile creatures. Then the entire town's population of zombies appeared to take notice of my presence and with that I ran off into the distance, over a few hills, occasionally turning back and shooting off a few from the top of the hill. Once I had ditched the zombies i had one full mag left and another with just a single shot in it, used my bandage, ate a tin of beans and drank some pepsi. AND THAT! Eclipse, is how I killed my first zombie and my first (kind of) horde. If you haven't played this, you need to! Happy Surviving Guys! :)

Yeah i was saying that throughout :P We're going back on dark souls shortly.

Thanks Marsh!

Tuning back in today marsh? :) Also, could this be put on the news for the night?

We've raised a total of £152 so far. That's $236.52

Even if it's just one more viewer. It helps :)

You can help by simply sharing the link about man :) Facebook, twitter, Forums, Tumblr. Any form of social networking. Thanks man :)

Hey guys, if you missed the eclipse shoutout. Here it was:  It's been a while since i was last active on here, but i'm here today to ask for eclipses support in our cause. We're playing through Dark Souls and a few other games for 24 hours straight. The entire event is being live streamed at http://www.twitch.tv/kris_hole# Even if you can't afford to donate to the charity, please tune in and share the link around. The more awareness is better. I'll also give out an Eclipse shoutout at some point during the stream. Thanks Guys! And Happy Gaming! Kris. H.

I'd have joined into this if it wasn't for all my finals being this week and the net two upcoming. Sad face :(

@kroko: > i have a server with 24GB ram, a Intel® Coreâ„¢ > i7-920 Quadcore processor. I don't think you need paying… And you should make a note of exactly what amount you're asking for too... considering if you said something like $5 a week that's (on a by hour basis) around about half hour of programming work you'd get a week...
