    My Arcade Table

    Damn, I've always wanted to build an arcade table.
  2. It probably should have such a check but it's simple enough for people to add it in themselves.

    > **the good members of eclipse** I nominate myself -_-
  4. > its not his work? really? If you know of his previous works then you would know and from what I have seen, NON of this is original, as in it isn't his work but rather a collection of other people's work wrapped together. Now I could be wrong but history would suggest "Same old Thomas.".
  5. > @[member="Zesh"] Are yous till working on your Pokemon game? Not currently. If I get around to completing the engine I want to build then I'll start working on it again.
  6. You can catch me on after 7 PM GMT usually so if you see me in the shoutbox just ask or just PM me. I've helped many people over the years and even taught a couple of them.
  7. > So you want to have a day tileset and a night tileset and at night it just loads the night tileset? What he wants is clearly explained in the first post. I mean c'mon. Its not that hard to understand that no current day/night system that has been released is a match for his requirements nor is it beneficial to modify any existing system when writing your own would be better.
  8. Thanks for the approval and vouch. > Nice of you to offer free services. My request , which probably wont happen, release your pokemon engine lmao. For real though, if I need anything I'll be sure to ask. I won't release my Pokemon engine :P > Hey, im building my game and would love some small features added if you can help? Check Skype. > [http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/136510-request-daynight-tileset/](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/136510-request-daynight-tileset/) > > Something like this, maybe? Specify your engine. I've added this to the first post. So please, when making a request, specify the engine you're using.
  9. Original Post >! "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea." >! - Eric Cantona >! Yes! I'm lolbored + sick + in a state of "I'm not sure about what I'm going to do and will this illness go away already!". Also I had this idea in the depths of night and … make of that what you will. >! Very simple. Put in a request for a **small** feature for an Eclipse VB6 engine and I'll see if I want to take on such a request. I reserve the right to dismiss any and all requests. Also, I haven't taken a look at EO4 but from what I've heard I'm not going to be touching that mess so **no EO4** requests. >! Please **specify** the engine you are using. >! Generally, I've done work for individuals so requests can be just for yourself and your game but I do reserve all rights to any code I produce and if I think that others may benefit from a feature I may choose to release that features publicly but that probably won't happen. >! **Samples of Work** >! [http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/117303-backpokemon-chaos-realm/](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/117303-backpokemon-chaos-realm/) >! My game, Pokemon Chaos Realm which features all the Pokemon goodies you'd want. Turn-based battle system, levels, evolutions, learning moves, catching, switching, battle items and tons more. >! [http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/123783-me-eo20-lolbored-mail-system/](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/123783-me-eo20-lolbored-mail-system/) >! Mail system I wrote when I was lolbored once. >! And so many more samples which I cannot find on this machine. They're on my other machine which doesn't work but I've done quite a bit of work for a number of members on this site before and some who I imagine will be willing to vouch for me if that is needed which it shouldn't be since Pokemon + Mail System = Awesome Programmer :rolleyes: >! Go ahead. Throw your sardines at me :lol: The above still stands but here we go again: Specify the engine you are using. **Free**: Put in a request for a **small** feature. **Paid**: Put in a request for a feature(s) of any size. The more details you can provide the better. I reserve the right to dismiss any and all requests. I reserve all rights to my code and can do with it what I please. You may **not** share or release my code to anyone. I have not yet done work for one person and then shared that work with anyone else. **But** if someone makes a similiar request, I may re-purpose the code I wrote for you, for them. Work will be completed, the proof will be provided and then you will provide the money. Payment will be made through PayPal. Note I deal in **£ GBP**. Skype is the easiest way to communicate with me. Make a request here in this topic or PM me. Thank you.
  10. Sexy! If I have time I'll bring my haxorz skills to the party ^_^

  12. **@Officer Johnson** If you don't understand the problem then please don't try and provide bad help. **@jaekx** The problem is with **MSCOMCTL.OCX**. Information about your OS would help. 64 bit? IE 10 installed?
  13. Card game. It's a little different than your typical RPG.
  14. > Thanks guys! I love to hear thoughts on it What are the rules for a duel?
  15. Dude, I'm working on a card game. Gotta love it when someone else is working on a similar project :P Digging the retro graphics. Good luck.
  16. Now that is awesome. I love the imagery that it invokes within my mind and to think that, that was what you were going through makes it even better. As a rapper once put it: "Whatever your art, express your heartache."
  17. Any FPS drop with the night system?
  18. > My story is very similar to Colonello's. My dad got a WIndows XP computer which at the time was super high tech. It had like 1GB of ram. As crap as that computer was I miss it ;( I still have my first computer. Windows XP with 250 MB of RAM. Although at one point I got an upgrade to 750 MB of RAM :P
  19. > Looks good Rob. However, best of luck finding mappers for those graphics since I know from first hand experience they're a complete * to map with. > > > > Overall the project looks nice however I'm a little lost as to what makes this ORPG stand out from the rest as in concept and story etc. > > > > I hope to see something of this project, > > > > -Kibbelz Soon enough you'll find out about the story and concept. A little to early to give that stuff away.
  20. > I hope to see you actually get somewhere with this project, this time around :P. I got pretty far last time round. A full blown turn-based battle system plus many of the other Pokemon systems. It was just the lack of content plus how much content I had to create plus spending a few years on it basically sucked me dry and that led to its downfall :P The ideas I have now seem more fresh and appealing after all that :)
  21. Just doing some thinking. Taking some old ideas and mixing them with new ones. Feedback would be great. >! **Treatment** >! >! A Pokemon game with an open, interesting and interactive world that will allow for new gameplay mechanics and provide the player with a fresh but familiar experience. >! >! The world will feature multiple regions, all of which will have been expanded to provide the player with new and interesting content. >! The world will be far more interactive than the standard games and will be brought to life with features such as the player being able to see Pokemon roam the wild. Some Pokemon like Abra will flee immediately after seeing the player whilst Pokemon like Rhydon may charge the player. >! With a player's Pokemon being able to follow behind a player, the standard battle screen will be done away with and instead a battle will take place in the environment itself. This will make watching a battle far more exciting than the standard battle screen and will add a new layer of strategy to battling with a player's Pokemon being able to take advantage of the terrain. >! Aside from the new battle system brought a long with an interactive environment, the ability to just watch a Pidgey sitting on top of a roof and then taking off will just add a new depth to the world, a depth that hasn't been seen before. >! Another thing that will be done away with, will be Hidden Machines. Instead of a HM taking up a valuable move slot, a Pokemon will be able to use its natural abilities to affect the environment. For example, inside of a pitch black cave, an Electric type Pokemon could be used to provide light so the player can see. Such abilities will first have to be trained before use. >! The above mechanics a long with others should provide the player with a Pokemon game experience like no other.
  22. **Last post in 2012?! What?!** I started working on a game that I currently call 'Dragon' but I've been sooo busy that I've haven't really had any time to sit down and do some programming on it. Just looking through my folders today and I saw this and I decided to start up the game and check out this thread. Wow, the smile on my face is massive :P Not sure if I posted these screenshots before or not and I'm not sure what I'm actually doing right now too busy with real life *sigh* But I just wanted to post these: >! ![](http://oi59.tinypic.com/avt15w.jpg) >! >! ![](http://oi62.tinypic.com/2csdjy8.jpg) >! >! ![](http://oi57.tinypic.com/10sb1g2.jpg) >! >! ![](http://oi58.tinypic.com/169q9e9.jpg)
  23. A little something I once wrote entitled 'A Step Back': >! I take a step back >! And they call me weak >! When I'm not >! Even though I've been to the top >! It's like trying to seperate peas from the pod >! You need to be able to see through the fog >! To understand the opinions that people have got >! A step back doesn't mean that you stop. Awake at night/early morning, on the site and I produced this in the shoutbox: >! I've decided not to go to bed… >! Anyone else awake? >! In the land of Eclipse... >! Everybody slept but one... >!

  24. > umm yes you can control the print screen.. that is simply the clipboard. and if you clear the clipboard in a timer or loop while the programs open it will not work. and to be honest suing cost money, so unless you have money to put out first, you will have an uphill battle. you could also put the graphics inside a Resource file in vb6 and call it from there if you really wanted to protect it. Instead of a loop just check for when the **PrtScr** key is pressed and then clear the clipboard. Resource files are a bad idea. First of all, resource files are compiled within the **.EXE** and if a resource file is massive you're just going to bloat the **.EXE**. Second of all, the resources within the resource file can be extracted. I would just grab an encryption algorithm, load a graphic file into a byte array, encrypt the byte array and then dump the byte array in a binary file. So load **test.PNG** into byte array, encrypt byte array and then dump byte array into **test.DAT**. After you've done that for all graphic files you can then delete all the graphic files and you'll be left with **.DAT** files. Then at runtime or whatever just load the **.DAT** files, decrypt them and then you could use the **CreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx** function to allow DirectX 8 to use them. I imagine that it would be possible to extract the decrypted files from memory but that is going to be hard and this method will thwart most people.

    Rewriting Your Stories

    More often than not, when I check out an Eclipse project, the author either has no story or something really basic and states that he/she can't write. So as a creative endeavour, I've decided to just look through some projects and pick out some stories and try my hand at rewriting them to be more appealing. Now they may end up being worse but hey atleast I'm being creative :P If I do rewrite your story I'll send you a PM just to let you know and if you want me to rewrite your story then you can put in a request. Mind you, I'm not obliged to actually finish a rewrite if I do start one so don't pester me about it :) I'm also going to be quite picky about what I choose to work on. If you can show that you've been doing some work on your project and have some sort of dedication towards it, you'll have a better chance of me accepting your request. But with all things, I may just end up doing one rewrite but hey let's get started. Do provide some feedback, thank you. **Drachen Eclipse** >! A Goddess named Diana had entered the realm of the humans, to live amongst them and create new creatures and life to sprout on the world. Then she created a creature, so terrifying that she had to lock them away in her own Dreams, into a zone known as the Neutral Zone. The creature was called the Dragon. Diana's dream began breaking out, a portal from the Neutral Zone broke out and monsters and demons began creeping out and spreading around the realm. Diana had to sacrifice her knowledge to shut it, the Goddess was put to eternal sleep with the help of a young warrior. The warrior took down the entire neutral zone without any assistance of any kind. Then before everything was at peace, the dragons roared, and the Dragon God Realm had come to its peak. It was too late. >! –----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >! **Diana** - Probably derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly, divine", related to dyeus (see ZEUS). Diana was a Roman goddess of the **moon, hunting, forests, and childbirth**, often identified with the Greek goddess **Artemis**. >! **Artemis** - Meaning unknown, possibly related either to Greek a?teµ?? (artemes) "safe" or a?taµ?? (artamos) "a butcher". Artemis was the Greek goddess of the moon and hunting, the twin of **Apollo** and the daughter of Zeus and Leto. She was known as Diana to the Romans. >! **Apollo** - From Greek ?p????? (Apollon), which is of unknown meaning, though perhaps related to Indo-European *apelo "strength". Another theory states that Apollo can be equated with Appaliunas, an Anatolian god whose name possibly means "father lion" or "**father light**". The Greeks later associated Apollo's name with the Greek verb ap????µ? (apollymi) meaning "to destroy". In Greek mythology Apollo was the son of **Zeus and Leto** and the twin of Artemis. He was the god of **prophecy, medicine, music, art, law, beauty, and wisdom**. Later he also became the **god of the sun and light**. >! **Leto** - Possibly derived from Greek ???? (letho) "**hidden, forgotten**". In Greek mythology she was the mother of Apollo and Artemis by Zeus. >! **Zeus** - The name of a Greek god, related to the old Indo-European god *Dyeus whose name probably meant "shine" or "**sky**". In Greek mythology he was the highest of the gods. After he and his siblings defeated the Titans, Zeus ruled over the earth and humankind from atop Mount Olympus. He had control over the weather and his weapon was a thunderbolt. >! **Origins** >! In the beginning the God Zeus constructed the world and let his two children, Apollo and Diana onto the Earth. Diana gave birth to life on Earth with her most precious children being the humans. Apollo gave the humans wisdom, medicine, music and art. Everything was great until Diana gave birth to the very first Dragon. A creature so terrifying and powerful, it wrecked havoc on the Earth. The children of Zeus fought this beast on the motherland of the humans, Leto. A land which possesed such beauty, it was turned into a wasteland. To save the rest of the Earth, Apollo and Diana made the ultimate sacrifice giving up their lives to stop the Dragon. Apollo pulled out the fiery soul of the beast and rose up into the darkness of the sky where he sealed the soul within himself becoming the Sun. Diana followed suit, lifting the Dragon's scaly, grey body into the sky and sealing it within herself becoming the Moon. The life that had survived on Earth began to migrate and as generations passed, their beautiful ancestry land of Leto was lost and forgotten about. Yet the Dragon that almost destroyed their ancestors still even in death had its claws around the Earth, bringing it light from the Sun and dictating the night and the waters with the Moon. Oh, what a cruel twist of fate! >! **Comments** >! I really like that. For about 15 to 20 minutes of work that is a nice origin story for a universe. The name Zeus could probably be switched with Dyeus if you wanted to kinda seperate yourself from Greek mythology a little. Or maybe a name meaning sky could also work. Diana could be switched with Artemis to solidify the twin nature of **A**pollo and **A**rtemis. However the name **D**iana plays nicely with **D**ragon. I'm pretty happy with being able to incorporate Leto as the ancestry land and with it being wasted and forgotten about that can lead to a nice story point where the player finds Leto and sees the destruction and dwelling of early man. I picture a desert like wasteland with some nice ruins dotted about. There could be inscriptions on the walls of these ruins that tell the above origin story. Apollo and Diana becoming the Sun and the Moon fits nicely with their name meanings and with the Dragon being spilt between the two makes a nice fit for the title, Drachen Eclipse. If you've ever seen an eclipse, you'll know how beautiful yet powerful an eclipse can be. This could play into the story. With the Sun and the Moon being so far apart, the resurrection of the Dragon is kinda impossible but with the alignment and the eclipse maybe that is when this prison is at its weakest and maybe some dark mage who knows the origin story deduces this fact and performs some ritual when the eclipse takes place to try and break the Dragon free. If the Dragon gets out, it is going to be pissed and will destroy the Earth and maybe in his madness this dark mage is trying to take control of the Dragon once it's out for control of the world or something. And of course the players will try and stop this from becoming a reality.
