Dude those weapons are blatantly taken from the aether mod or whoever made them. If you're going to recolor at least credit the original artists.

Open up config.ini in your client folder and make sure it's set to localhost.

It's pretty and a nice way to stray from all of the other generic interfaces on this website. However, it's a bit too flashy and may ultimately end up being confusing and inconvenient for the player. Furthermore, the existence of a screen isn't even hinted in your sketch. Judging by the layout now it seems it would be nearly impossible to put a screen in without the interface being in the way or distracting.

If you paid any attention to the third link, it's a board that you need to search for all of those edits and tutorials.

That shadow already exists, and you can modify it. It's in the data/graphics folder.

If there is nothing helpful for you in the tutorials and none of the links I posted, then you shouldn't be using this engine nevermind asking how to modify it. _Read._ _Explore things yourself._ It's the only way you'll learn. Asking how to add every single one of those features before familiarizing yourself with the source is silly.

**Edit: I created a new account and it works fine now. I don't understand what is causing the issue here.** This is really really obscure, I was map editing and after saving my map and opening the editor a second time, I recieved Runtime Error 480: Cannot create auto redraw image. The following line is highlighted: ``` Call Surface.BltToDC(picBox.hdc, sRECT, dRECT) ```In this function: ``` Public Function Engine_BltToDC(ByRef Surface As DirectDrawSurface7, sRECT As DxVBLib.RECT, dRECT As DxVBLib.RECT, ByRef picBox As VB.PictureBox, Optional Clear As Boolean = True) As Boolean ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler If Clear Then picBox.Cls End If Call Surface.BltToDC(picBox.hdc, sRECT, dRECT) picBox.Refresh Engine_BltToDC = True ' Error handler Exit Function errorhandler: HandleError "Engine_BltToDC", "modDirectDraw7", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext Err.Clear Exit Function End Function ``` Now this is bothering me tremendously because the issue suddenly appeared after saving a map and not doing anything else. The error appears whenever I edit any map now, not just the one I saved. If it helps for some reason, the map I saved was very large; 223x117\. But I saved it multiple times before without an issue.

@wow050: > Thank you jaiden a whole lot for A: not screaming at me and BL solving my problem :) Two things, one: I'm being patient. Two: Erwin is right; stop bringing it up. Stop triple posting, you don't need to "bump" a topic that isn't even on the second page.

No. You have to open client.vbp and navigate to modCombat in the editor.

Yes. And you're welcome.

Strength = Attack power, parry chance Endurance = HP efficiency, defensive power(?) Intelligence = MP efficiency Agility = Increased dodge chance and critical hit chance, attack speed(?) Willpower = Regeneration efficiency

Success is the message it displays when you successfully gather the resource. Empty is the message when nothing is left.

@Robin: > No I do not. > > **1.** It's frmMenu. > **2.** It does not exist in the Crystalshire project. The files used in the project are shown in the project explorer of 'client.vbp'. The source folder is full of every discarded form and module since EOv1. > **3.** I'm saying he's an idiot because he pointed to a form which is never used in Crystalshire. Oh lord I completely misread. Bad of me to draw conclusions. Whoops.

He means you're an idiot for saying that. When he says frmMain doesn't exist, he means that you don't move GUI elements around in the form anymore.

Yeah, it also happens if you create a scrolling map and walk over it before saving. I'm not sure if it's really a glitch, you'll just have to save your blocks before you test them. Besides, it's good practice to constantly save anyway.

Make sure you have the sprites numbered in your sprite folder. Once that's done, go into the the servers data folder and open up classes.ini. In there change the "MaleSprite=" to MaleSprite=1,2 or whatever sprite numbers you want available for that class.

@Captain: > Wut? It was a 10-11 line code change for me. Whoop. I'm dumb then. Last time converting to 16x16 was mentioned I recall it being a huge mess of problems.

GUI design is really difficult. It will take you tons and tons of tries before you get it right. Just keep at it and you'll eventually get a result you're happy with. Robin is right though, the fake 3D isn't good. Get rid of the bevel/emboss and maybe play with different texture types. A 1px outer stroke is your friend.

It makes working a lot easier.

16x16 is a hot mess. I would recommend just converting the tiles. What kind of tiles are you using that are 16x16? Zelda tiles? You have to keep in mind you'll be modifying movement and tons of other things since you're changing a 32x32 grid to 16x16\. You're not just changing the tiles.

Ahaha I know exactly what tutorial you got that from! ;) It looks pretty good, some things could use a little work like perhaps your font choice. But it's still pretty cool.

Yes, it's because of the way things are rendered. The sprites are textures, and texture sizes have to be a power of 2 in DX8\.

It's not an extra frame, it's because the texture sizes must be a power of two. This was discussed in a thread earlier today: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,74293.0.html

@dragorn128: > It costs money?  Okay. Portfowarding opens a port in your network so that people can connect to your server. Read that tutorial. _Completely._ Go on portforward.com and read up on how to do it. It varies based on what router you have.
