SPIKEYBOI

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me!

I know the title of the topic is a bit misleading so I'll add more information. When I start the server, it starts under my local IP and not my Internet IP. The other person who wants to join the server can't join unless the server is broadcasted over the Internet and not just locally. Basically, it seems like the server is hosting on the network from my router, but not from the Internet itself. If we were on the same router I could do it that way, but we aren't. I'm guessing this is what port forwarding is for?

I have like 6 versions, I just happened to pop that one up since they all had the same issue.

Problem solved…should have read the FAQ. Set DPI to 100% on your system. That's the resolution for anyone who sees this. ...*face palm*

Well, I really don't know how to describe the problem other than with that image. The graphics are skewed and smaller than normal, some of which is cut off. The text doesn't seem to be affected, however now when I try clicking on any of the buttons such as 'Quit' I have to click like 40 pixels to the right of it and 100 pixels below it in order to actually get the effect of clicking it. So…if anyone can really see what might be the issue here, it would be appreciated.

K ill do that, thank you! P.s sorry for the headache XD

Hey i just wanted to ask is it possible to have moving NPC's that go from 1 map to the other? And if so could they do it only if the map they are in hasnt been attacked by players in so long that they are able to advance?

Good idea man, but what happens if a high lvl character player kills the beast and gives the key or way to get to it to the noob? Then the noob is powerful, and he didnt do squat!

You could make it where they have an option's menu that they can change if its 1024 * 768 and such. I'm not sure if that would work, but then it would satisfy most people's needs if you set it up right and give them lots of options so it fits all.

I'm confused on how to do this. I have vb6, and i just dont know where all this needs to be added and changed. I have the client and server that has the files i can access with vb6, so what do i change? Usually in a tutorial they tell me where to go and what to change, this one seems to only tell me what to change…maybe its just me, since everyone else is having no problem doing this.

@Crimson: > Just an opinion. K man, i know that im bad at making websites, so i just did what i thought was best XD. Once again, just an opinion, just like you said.

Hey i was wondering how can i make my game into 1 simple EXE file that has all the sprites, songs, etc to it? That was players have a harder time hacking it, and it also makes it easier to move the game file around on the computer.

Hey i've been coming across some things that i need some help with. Heres a few i thought were the most important. -How can i make it where when someone uses a key on a door, the door actually looks like it opens? -How can i make it where when someone buys a house, it shows their name in the houses name? ( Ex. SPIKEYBOI's house ) -I'm afraid to host the game myself, seeing as that i'd have to keep it on 24/7 and only a few chances to shut it down for maintenence. Is there a good software or hoster that i can use that will host 24/7 and still allow me to adjust the game? -When some monsters/enemies get to the edge of a map, they seem to split in 2 pieces. 1 is visible, the other isnt. This provides a weird problem that needs attention. -Sometimes when i play and a monster/enemy drops an item, i try to pick it up only to realize that it shows it, but doesn't really exsist there. ( I checked this by going to another map then coming back. ) -I'm no pro at making scripts, so when i want to make some quests for the players im lost and need help. Is there a software i can download that is a good basic quest maker or a tutorial on how to make them? -In-game i've barely managed to script out where you can kill a person ( say the king of the land ) and an event happens. ( Say guards in the map area attack you. ) But this is not a good script and was wondering is there a good tutorial for making events in-game? -When a player buys a house, they seem to have the same rights as a person who doesnt buy a house. Whats the point of wasting money on a house when you can do whatever you needed to do without actually buying the house? ( Say sleep on a bed, or buy furniture for it. ) I was wondering, how do i make it where a player that doesnt own the house cant use certain things, and other player that does own it can? -How can i make it where an NPC can move from 1 map to the other? Like a zombie move from map1 going left to map2? Cause it feels like the maps are somewhat seperate. If you manage to keep 1 area completly enemy free, then go just to the next map and thers like 10 more, it feels disconnected and more like you just teleported to another area. -This question has bugged me a lot, how do i make a spell that teleports you to a certain area? ( My friend told me they have that on Runescape, and the idea doenst seem that bad when it comes down to it. ) If someone can answer some or all of these questions, that would help me to the point of eternal thanks! :cheesy:

I understand that the "Website" part is not very professional, but then again i did mention in the name of this topic "Beginners".

Ya all i needed to do was get the source version and not the compiled one.
