I am going through doing some mapping and setting up some resources and I was wondering once I place the resource on the map. What layer does the sprite appear on.
I was looking through the code and could not find anything leading to a fringe or mask layer on the resources… And the resources are messing with some of my mapping.
Thanks for the help

@Robin:
> Delete it and start again.
Thanks for the help, i found the solutions. If you look at the picScreen ScaleHeight/ScaleWidth, i set them to the same as my actual height and width. Not sure what they are used for, but it works great now… Dunno how they got changed in the first place though?? -
hmm well i relooked everything over, and re went through the tutorial, and i am doing everything as it says. I changed the constants server-side aswell… I looked at the map editor, and it is registering my mouse 2 tiles below where it really is(if that makes sense). All of the text is still very small.
Not to sure where to go from here... -
ok, so i increased my picscreen size to 640X800\. Works great except the blitted text, like the map name or player name is greatly decreases almost to unreadable size, and the target works on and off… Sometimes working and sometimes not... Is anyone else having this problem??
-
ohhhh i see now, like the name and the description… i was wondering why they were working, but mine wasn't. I almost thought the string couldn't be in a type...
Thanks Again

I changed it to
```
static strTitle as string
```
and I recieved an error saying invalid statement in the type block, can you expand on your help. I guess I dont know how to make it static…
@TDog:
> Delete all your item files and remake them.. should work fine.
I have tried that before and it did not work, I will try again once I get this part figured out
Thanks for the quick response -
Alright, so i am trying to add another option to the ItemEditor form, a special title to the weapon…
Now i have added:
in both client and server
under type and itemrec
```
strTitle as string
```
in the item editor i have added a text box to add the title to.
```
Item(EditorIndex).strTitle = txtTitle.text
```
My debug.print says it sets it fine. but when i click the save button, i get a huge visual basics is shutting down error and my server just closes… i have no idea what is going wrong. This has happened to me before, but i was never able to figure it out. I was going to just use data3 but it is a long and i need a string...
any help?
Thanks

Hey Devo, I was wondering if you could please do another signature for me, maybe 600 X 200.. around that.
If you could make it say COLONIZED in big bold letters, but the letters would change downward, like the top of the C would be grassy, the middle would be dirt like, and the bottoms would be metal structure like. Like you are looking at a cutout of the ground with a bunker underground.
That is just kind of the basic concept atleast, you always do a good job with this kind of thing.
Thanks

Stat Usage
in Q & A
Hey guys, i have just implemented a system which increases your skills based on what tasks you perform more, Such as attacking with a hatchet will slowly increase your Agility along with Parrying an Attack. Reading a book will slowly increase your Intelligence.
i wanted to get the community feedback on what they think each skill means and what should upgrade it.
So far i have:
1\. Strength = Hammer, Sword, Blacksmithing??
2\. Endurance =
3\. Intelligence = Mining, Staff, Reading??
4\. Agility = Hatchet, Parry an attack
5\. Willpower
What do you guys think, i need help on this one…
Thanks

AHhh haha, thanks i knew it would be something small like that…. Thanks again

Alright, so i have started using EO and am messing around with the Packets and Buffers. I followed a tutorial that help me understand how everything is working.
I tryed setting up a simple client/Server communication, but i am having some problems. Sorry if this is a very simple problem, but i am just trying to get a handle on the new network system.
Here is my code Client Side:
```
Public Sub PlayerDev(ByVal Stat As String, ByVal Value As Integer)
Debug.Print Stat & " will be adjusted " & Value & " points"
'case for the stat
Select Case Stat
Case "str"
'adjust the strength value
'set up the buffer to send the strength skill update
Dim buffer As clsBuffer
Set buffer = New clsBuffer
Debug.Print "StrBuffer set up"
buffer.WriteLong CStrSkill
buffer.WriteInteger Value
Debug.Print "StrBuffer values set"
Debug.Print buffer.ToArray
SendData buffer.ToArray()
Set buffer = Nothing
Debug.Print "StrBuffer sent and cleared"
Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub
```
That sends the value to the selected stat. I got that part down, but here is where i get messed up and dont really understand.
ServerSide:
```
HandleDataSub(CStrSkill) = GetAddress(AddressOf HandleStrSkill)
```
And
```
Sub HandleStrSkill(ByVal Index As Long, ByRef Data() As Byte, ByVal StartAddr As Long, ByVal ExtraVar As Long)
Dim Value As Integer
' make sure they're not maxed#
If GetPlayerStat(Index, Stats.Strength) >= 255 Then
PlayerMsg Index, "You cannot spend any more points on that stat.", BrightRed
Exit Sub
End If
Debug.Print "Str Stat Not Maxed"
Call SetPlayerStat(Index, Stats.Strength, GetPlayerStat(Index, Stats.Strength) + Value)
Debug.Print "Str Stat Adjusted " & Value
SendActionMsg GetPlayerMap(Index), "+" & Value & " Strength", White, 1, (GetPlayerX(Index) * 32), (GetPlayerY(Index) * 32)
' Send the update
'Call SendStats(Index)
SendPlayerData Index
Debug.Print "PlayerData Updated"
End Sub
```
Now i added the vars cstrskill to both projects, but when i run this, i get the value serverside = 0… i just dont know what is going wrong.
Thanks

i personally love the multiplayer when i can actually play. I dunno if its just my sucky connection, but everytime i try and play with a party or a friend, it takes like 20 minutes to find a game, and when i do, i realize noone in my party is in the game…
Anyone else have this problem? -
well my computer sucks first off haha i only have about 1gb ram, so i think thats the prob. i updated my gfx card to 1gb aswell, but idk it was working before. I am working on a secondary computer so i can try and log in from there and see if i can atleast get on.
-
hmm the server doesnt seem to be working for me, it just overloads my computer. is anyone else having this problem
EDIT
can you also whitelist jimbrkr he is agood friend, and will not grief, i vouch for him -
i have a great networking base on FireStorm, i havent looked at the Eclipse.net source, maybe we can combine the two somehow…

Hey, can you white list me, Warconn, ive been around eclipse for years

It is a long road, starting at a large ruined palisade, ending at a river, with a large farm, it almost looks like the owner moved down to the river.
-
Alright, thanks, ive been looking around for them, but couldnt find any.
By any chance does anyone know where "River Road" is. I have a settlement near there, and all along it i keep finding ruins of palisade walls all decayed. I am just trying to get a feel for where i am at in the world -
Are caves naturally places and visible for anyone to find, or do you need rustroot or something to find them?
-
Server is still down :(
Question for you guys, if i take a semi large area screenshot, would there be a way to overlay it, and try and find the location i am. Although i like being secluded from all the drama, i would atleast like to know where in relation to everyone i am. -
:( i know, i was exploring around my new camp, gathering string
