Thanks for the info, I'll try it out next chance I get some free time and let you know how it worked.

[Update] Well I found out where in the source I'm able to change the page and what code sets the names and length for the scroll bar. However I'm still unsure as to what changes the position of the Head, Body, and Legs images in the sprite box. I'd really like some information if anyone can help. Thanks.

I don't think you understood what I'm asking… I already know how to edit the GUI and turn on custom sprites and I've made a bunch of hairstyles and bodies already for the player to select. The problem I have is the way the custom character image is broken up into three separate parts instead of all together to show what the character will look like when you play with it. I'd like to know if I could change that using the Client's Source Code to make the pieces all stay together and change the title above the scroll bars (that only show up if Custom is turned on) to Hairstyle, Clothes, and Gender/Ethnicity

I couldn't find anything else relating to what I'm looking for. I'm making a custom sprite set so people can select their own look for their character. I've got the spriting down and I know how and where to put them so they work in the game, but I don't like the way the character creation page shows the sprite setup. I would like to know if I could change it so that it doesn't break up the character parts into separate portions so people can see exactly what their character will look like when they finish. I was also wondering if I could change the size of the scroll bars and the names above the scroll bars for selecting parts. My setup for my custom sprites is: Head = Hair Style and Color Body = Clothes Legs = Gender and Skin Color The reason I'm asking is I'm not familiar with the client source code and I'm assuming that's what I'm going to have edit in order to get the changes I want. I'd be extremely greatful for any information.

That script was somewhat useful to me, and I'll probably refer back to it in the future but it hasn't really shown me anything about how to script NPC characters. What I would like is maybe a simple example of how to script an enemy. Thanks for the help though Southern, much appreciated. My main issue sadly is I'm not familiar with all the commands for sadscript, like Get and Call commands are still fuzzy to me on how to work them properly. If anyone can refer a well detailed tutorial for me that would be great. I've checked Godlord's tuts but they don't explain things very well, though they are handy for brief descriptions of what does what.

Would I be able to get an example of this code? Just something small, I'm still very new to scripting.

Lol, I'm just doing this as a solo project on my own to get better with scripting, but I'm content on completing it. If anyone else would know about this I'd still love some assistance but I guess I'll just take a look around until then. Thanks ;]

What I would like some help with is to know if there is any code to make enemies do the following: - Make enemies shoot instead of rush up to attack in melee combat. - Make enemies cast single and multiple target spells. (or AOE spells) - Make enemies move strategically. (Such as moving around the room and striking from time to time so they don't get hit as much. (for bosses only)) - Make ranged enemies keep their distance. (Shoot and run) If there's any way to code these I'd be extremely grateful to anyone who can assist me in what to write and where to place it.

When it comes to the storyline of the game the theme isn't really important to the storyline, neither is the sound…. if that exists within a storyline. The one thing you want to focus on is the plot, and how to keep the whole thing interesting for players to actually WANT to reach the end of the story. Take the Lord of the Rings storyline for example (I know you're doing sci-fi but George Lucas totally screwed up the Star Wars storyline), It had the ability to just pull you into the story, make you sit there for the whole two hours holding in that shit that's been waiting to come out since you started the movie just because you need to know what happens to that little hobbit with the ring of power. And they did this simply by adding little twists and turns such as Saruman joining forces with Sauron, or the White Wizard Treebeard speaks of actually being Gandalf, small things that just make people go "Oh wow! I never saw that coming!", unless you read the books or watched the movie previously of course. But nonetheless, you want to make your games storyline intriguing to the player so that they don't get bored after the first couple quests. And as for my favorite storyline, no one would be able to mimic the masterworks of R.A.Salvator's Forgotten Realms stories of Drizzt Do'Urden and his companions.

like I said I didn't edit the sheet at all since I put in the new sprites a week ago, and it worked fine, and I checked the numbers they're fine, the file name is still Sprites, I put the classes back to their original form but that hasn't worked. The sprites just appear as a white box in character creation, and when I use the character it says my sprite file doesn't exist and shuts down the game.

Alright so the last few things I asked help with weren't really helped but that doesn't matter I figured it out. I have a rather large issue that I can't seem to fix… I ran my game, and everything worked fine... I decided to change some stats on the classes and saved it, restarted the server and when I went to character creation, there were no sprites. Apparently, my sprites sheet no longer exists, even though it hasn't been altered since the last time i logged in. It's still in my GFX folder but for some reason it's not being read. If ANYBODY knows how to fix this I would really appreciate it. please and thank you.

Alright, so I've basically got down how this program works, but I have a few minor issues… First off, I set it so that defense increases health instead of strength, but that's not really changing anything it still makes it so strength increases health. Also, what are the stats [SP] and [] for? I've been wondering for a while now but I couldn't figure it out. If anyone has any tips I could really use them… **-Edit-** I should probably mention that it's the starting stats I'm having troubles with. If there's a way to modify these I'd really like to know.

I am having troubles getting my friend to connect to my game. I think it may be the fact that I have a wireless internet connection for my computer, and I have two IP adresses, one local and one external. I've tried both IP adresses but neither seems to work. Can anybody help? EDIT - Okay never mind I realized I need to portforward, but I am having difficulties with that. I know how to do it, the only problem is that I have forgotten my router pass and need to figure out how to get it back without reseting my router. I have 5 computers running off of it and I'd rather not go through the trouble of setting them all back up. Any ideas?

I wanna change my games resolution from 800x600 to 1240x768 but I can't figure out how to do this. I'm using EE1.0 because I can't get 2.7 to work on my comp. (client won't run no matter what I do) can someone help me?
