Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't tile 10.bmp the tile with all the lights on. If you do this **you'll lose all those light effects so be warned**! Instead just fill in that massive gray box with black - like in the picture 

Isn't this game made with Realm Crafter? Isn't the **ECLIPSE** recruitment center for games made with **ECLIPSE**. Edit: By the way, your forum link doesn't work.

So, you've got Eclipse, got it set up (if you haven't then hit go back and look at a set up tutorial) and want to make the best MMOG (massively multiplayer Online Game) eva!!1 Hold your horses! First off your game (at least at the start) won't be massive. It'll probably just be a few friends, co-workers and family - more on this later. First off though go to your pencil pot and grab a pencil then find a few sheets of A4 paper. 1\. Start to jot down game ideas. Try to steer away from fan game *shudder* as they usually fail. Remember, Eclipse can be used to make loads of Online Games from Sci - Fi to Medieval. Remember though. There are already a load of games out there with aliens and people wearing chain mail so try to make your ideas original. 2\. Now you have an idea think of a name for your game. Try to make your name something that ties in with your title and also make it memorable. You want people to spread the word so a name like "The really cool game with an uber long title" won't help. The name may also tie in with the website - again, more on this later. 3\. Next we'll map. This may sound really hard and you may say "I can't draw" but for this map your drawing ability won't matter. Just draw a few basic paths, small villages (marked by squares) cities (marked by circles) and maybe even area borders. Nothing fancy. This map can also be quite small (2 or 3 A4 sheets) as at the start your game will be small. 4\. Now get on your PC and put that map on paper into pixels. I'm not going into the mapping bit so why not have a look at a mapping tutorial then have a go. Come back to step 5 when your done mapping EVERYTHING (well almost) on your paper. Remember not to give up. Don't get side tracked. This project should be as big as passing your GCSEs (well maybe not that big). 5\. Now I assume you've mapped out what's on your paper. Now start to add in your NPCs and Shops. Again, go and find out how to do this if you're stuck. 6\. Now it's time for QUESTS! These make up most games. Grab more paper and think up basic quests. These quests should not be related to your main quest line (if you have one) in any way. 7\. Now think up a main quest line. This could be really important in your game or an underlying factor. Is the evil lord FRRA going to take over the planet? Is your army being secretly corrupted by a shade while they fight it out with your enemy? Not all games will have a main quest so this is optional. 8\. Ok, we've made our basic game. Give your self a clap. Promotion time! First head on over to beta testing section of the forum and post up your game there. They'll report back on how good your game is and find any bugs or errors. If everything is clear move to step 9. 9\. Although this is optional it really helps. Make a website. freewebs.com or piczo will give you the tools to make a free website or if you know how to use Dreamweaver you can always make one with that. Include your games download link and any other information on your game here as well. 10\. Go to promotional websites. Make a video (trailer) of your game and post it on Youtube. You can also go to various websites and they'll put adds on other peoples websites. I can't think of any off hand so if anyone knows of a few PM me and I'll add em in. 11\. Forums are great for promotion. Include a link (that stands out) to download your game in your signature on start a thread about it. 12\. Promote it at work, school, college, etc. Put fliers through letterboxes. Anything will do! And now you can sit back and watch…for a bit. People will want more from your MMO so be ready to update and add on new maps like hell. New content will keep people interested. Look at other MMOs for guidance - but don't copy them...they may havwe copyrighted there work. Better yet, get a team. The job will get done twice as fast with 4 people! Anywho I hoped this helped at least a few people out. L8trz.

You could choose where the NPC (or maybe even player, that would be good for like in game cut scenes) starts off and then set it so the NPC or Player follows a path. This would be good for dungeons and such or patrolling creatures/guards.

Erm… If you're talking about the main page (the website) it's most probably HTML. The game good be made from many things. Java, Javascript, Python...Those are what come to mind.

Here's what I ended up doing - Reinstall the library files a few times. If that fails then (what I had to do on a one occasion) download a new client and server. Wait up though. I'm no expert. Maybe one of the people more experienced can help - I just charged in and blew someones brains out when I tried to fix mine.

Loads of people have this bug (search it). I can't seem to find a fix for it…Try having a tinker with some script...

Glad to hear that they'll probably be compatible. Heres the thread that I heard about the quest system. Correct me if if I've totally misread it :confused: [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,29644.0.html](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,29644.0.html)

Will EE 2.7 maps be compatible with 2.8? From what I've heard (this may not be true, I haven't been around these here parts to long) there will be some sort of quest maker in 2.8 so I don't really want to start coding quests (and speech) to find I could have done it with click of a button in 2.8. Also, when is 2.8 coming out? And I thought I was only going to ask one question ^^

I have no idea who this "Clay Aiken" is (do I need to know?) but Lindsay… > Awesome XD

That piece would make a good ringtone…as a backup... Anywho, if you have Mac use garage band. FL Studio 8 confuses me and makes me :angry:

Is it ok to remve the scrolling credits? I'd still keep the credits of all the people in it on the page, just without that annoying scrolling box? So in other words, I'd keep the credits of all the Eclipse designers, just not the scrolling box.

Batteries included!

If you stare at the homepage for about 5 minutes and look away you see words and…lights...and the ceiling of a mental hospital.

The end of time will never come. The reason why is BARNEY EXISTS! Although, Chuck Norris once tasted Barney's Nunchaku and wondered why it tasted like shat. doomteam then said: dick Cheney then said "this game has gone to nothing" because

Some of these freaked me out…a bit. See what you think of 'em. [http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_feet_lin/index.html](http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_feet_lin/index.html)

PvP comes with Eclipse Ok, both players who are trying to kill each other need to be level 10 Set the Map Zone Type thing to "None" or "No Death Penalty" No Death Penalty means players won't lose any XP if they die (not sure about items) None means players will lose XP (again. not sure about items) Now get the players to attack each other (by pressing the CTRL key) Simple :) (Mods, Admins, other people) sorry for the double post.

Erm…what? I don't know what you mean. Is your PvP always on and you want to turn it off? Confused :confused:

I don't even know what Dis…Diga...Disea...oh screw that. What the hell is it?

The PS4 looks good. I'm glad they decided to use an old design.
