Just Map Editor> map properties> weather then..

There is some confusion here. There was a debate about Microsoft Paint and Paint.NET. Paint.NET is a free Paint program.. No-one was talking about .net framework. Anyway, just move stuff about 'till it's aligned.

How would I go about drawing grass tiles.. What is the best technique?

What version are you on?

@Oizumi03: > Ya, from what Marsh has said, it won't work with Macs or Linux. An emulator should work fine though.

I'm busy with projects right now, sorry.

As far as I remember no. Unless you get a PC emulator. I may be mistaken though.

If you know of any FAQ, post, and I'll update the main post. ^^

 Thanks for reading this. Before you ask a question, see if it is answered here: **Q: How do I make myself an admin/owner? A: To make yourself the owner, open up the server and click the 'players' tab, then click on your character and click 'set access', then type in '5'. Or at least that's how you do it in E.E 2.7. Q: How many versions of Eclipse are there?! A: There are a few builds out just now and many more in production. Current builds: [Eclipse Stable](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,49913.0.html), [straight from the SVN](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,406.0.html). In development: [Solar Eclipse](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,44970.0.html) (Java), [Eclipse++](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,353.0.html) (C++), [Eclipse Origins](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,57637.0.html) (VB6) and [many more!](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,317.0.html) Q: What version should I use? A: It's up to you, although just now I personally recommend Eclipse Stable. Q: When does the next version come out? A: Just don't ask, no-one knows. And setting a deadline just adds stress to the coders which could cause the release to be unfinished. Don't ask, it will be ready when it's ready and you WILL be told. Q: Can I transfer my 2.7/2.8 files to 3.0? A: You can transfer map files and graphics, but you will need to edit scripts because of the different syntax between VB6 and Java. I need this verified. Q: Oh no my spells don't work! :O A: Only scripted spells and AoE (Area of effect) spells work in EE 2.7.***** The developers released an update to fix this issue; it can be found [here.](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=43236.0) Q: My game size is messed up!: [](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/282ec11be1c808e1cf6de0c3c763bece.jpg) _Click for full image_ A: If you are using _Windows XP_ then: Right click on desktop - Under 'Settings' tab, Select 'Advanced'. - Under 'General' tab, Change DPI settings to 'Normal size (96 DPI)'. - Click 'Apply' and you should be done. Thanks to Soljah for this. If you are using _Windows Vista_ then Right click on desktop. - Select 'Personalise'. - Under 'Tasks' choose 'Adjust Font size (DPI)' - Select 'Default scale' - And now click ok. Thanks to Sean [Nanoware] for this. Q: How do I get my game online? A: You can portforward, or use hamachi. He are some links: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=26187.0 http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=1598.0 http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=11004.0 Q: Can I make a battle system in my game using Eclipse? A: Yes, Battle systems like Final Fantasy or Pokemon arre possible through [sadscripting](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=40748.0) or editing the source. Q: How big can my game be? A: Games can get as big as you want, and with the use of a scrolling camera, lag is minimilized. Q: How can I open the admin/mapping window? A: F1 Q: How can I make a guild? A: F4 - Only admins can do this. Q: How can I have more than 1 class? A: Copy your "Class0.ini" into however many classes you want, then change there names to match (ex, Class0.ini, Class1.ini, Class2.ini would make 3 classes.) Then edit them as you please. NB. In data.ini there is an option for max_classes, make sure this is correct when adding more classes. Q: My server is on, but the client says it is Offline, what do I do? A: Make sure you have port forwarded and you have the correct [IP](http://www.ipchicken.com) For a complete guide on hosting a server, [click here.](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,45578.0.html) Q: How do I edit the source? A: To edit the source, you must have Visual Basic 6\. VB6 is out of production, the only legal way to get a copy is second hand. You then download the source and edit it through VB6. Q: How do I change the GUI layout? A: This requires VB6, but it is incredibly easy to change the basic layout, because it is a drag&drop system. Q: How do I make quests? A: To create quests, you need to be able to use Sadscript, which is located in the main.txt. Q: I have an error!; What do I do? A: Install the [ELI](http://eli-download.comxa.com/) - Please read the instructions on the left of that link. Q: My NPC's aren't talking. A: Make sure it is set to friendly and has at least 1 in each stat. Q: What are shops and how do I use them? A: Shops are used to buy or sell items such as food, weapons and spells. Use the admin panel (F1) to create or edit a shop and use the "Shop Attribute" on a tile when mapping. Another option is scripting. (make sure you have read a few [scripting tutorials](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=40748.0) before attempting this: _Call GoShopping(Index, ShopNum)_ And put it under the Scripted NPC's sub. Q: Is it possible to have ISO movement in my game? A: Yes, there are two options: 1: Wait for Eclipse Evolution 3.0 which will have Isometric graphics with an x, y and z axis. 2: Use isometric tiles like [Ambardia](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?board=208.0). Q: Does my game have to be based around combat and killing things? A: Not at all, you can base your game around whatevan you want, be it catching squirrels, or skydiving. To take the combat out of your game, you can edit the source using VB6 and take out a couple menus. (I'd recommend posting a topic in Source Questions to ask help with removing menus and stuff.) NOTE: Answers with a "*****" next to them mean that in 2.8 this problem is fixed.

I'm going to make my own FAQ, so I can keep it updated. xD

Ah. You had me confused there. xD

@Oizumi03: > Ya, it only works for 2.5, 2.7 is kinda epic failz (no offense) Editing classes should still work in 2.7..

If you do switch from 2.7, don't use TE. You're ports will still be fine.

rofl. Urban dictionary rocks! [off-topic] Munro, where 'bouts you from?

Not everyone can get a compiler. He's asking how to SOLVE the problem, not get around it.

But alot of people don't like it. I'm not bothered, I was just wondering what everyone thinks.

roflmao!

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to create a skin.. I would do it myself, but I know there are plenty of people who could pull it off way better than me. I could probably do a couple of small things though. Anyone think it's a good idea?
