  1. Wolf has set up a testing group here ( https://discord.gg/9Fu8EZq ) for using the engine, it will help find the bugs. I retract my earlier recommendation- you should use this engine because the Dev is actively working towards fixing bugs. The more of us there are, the greater number of bugs will be found and the more stable the engine will get. Come along and help wolf to help you!
  2. Having tried this, it is /HIGHLY/ unstable. This engine needs a testing group with constant attention from the dev, which I'm given to understand he doesn't have the time to spare towards testing this. NOTE; If you choose this engine, be aware you will most likely have to fix the bugs yourself or wait until the github issue you post is addressed and patched, which as I said may take a while..
  3. ... I've already said twice, turning it off via vb6 crashes vb6, and it's definitely CSDE because the server closes fine, as do other versions of Eclipse.
  4. The game closes normally with the X button. The problem is the Debug stop, for some reason the client crashes VB6 when the debugging is stopped by a bug or manually via the stop button.
  5. I'm using CSDE. When I debug the source it runs fine, when I encounter an error however, the debug is closed and instead of pointing to the relevant code, VB6 just crashes instead. I don't know how to fix this or why it's happening and any support would be appreciated. Thanks
  6. Thanks for continuing to create and post sound assets. I'll be using some of your sfx for sure.
  7. Do you do any older style music, such as MIDI? Final Fantasy was MIDI.

    @'or3o': > he isnt allowed to post his site, Link doesnt seem to approve of it. Exactly- so how, pray tell, would I be aware of such a sites existence? It would appear engines have been released there that I also didn't know about. And of course Link would be against it. They have custom engines, what seems to be a growing community and sensible rules. From my perspective right now, it seems to be, dare I say it- better. That being said, there's always room to improve and it's Link's call as to whether or not he wants to move in the right direction and take the feedback that members are providing and apply it in a sensible way to restore Eclipse.
  9. @'Marsh': > The site was still pretty popular but definitely not the size it was back in the day, we were in the top 100,000 websites in the world at one point according to alexa. I knew the site was declining it was mostly due to the fact that I was growing up and had full times jobs and college etc. I could no longer spend all day building Eclipse and advertising. I definitely knew we needed a new engine and it wasnt going to happen without a lot of work which I could not provide at the time. Though the reason I sold it was that I had no money left not even for food. I was behind on my college payments by a month or two and could not graduate without paying it off. All my credit cards where maxed out, student loans maxed out, had already borrowed from my family. They had already shut off my school account I was borrowing other accounts to login and attending classes my teacher was letting it slide. I sold the site so that I could pay off my remaining college fees and move to Quebec to try to find a job. As for the job that came after I sold Eclipse so it had nothing to do with it. Fun fact! I am still 20k+ in debt of student loans and some taxes, but I have payed off all my credit cards without bankruptcy! > > It is something I regret a bit but thats how life works, I am even busier then before arguably so I am not sure I would have been a better owner. Amish had some big ideas and more importantly the money to build a new engine and make things happen. Hindsight is 20/20. > > There is more to it but that is the 30 second verison. Perhaps you thought I was blaming you- I wasn't. The site fell on hard times, you needed money- the problem is that Amish had money and no brains and made the situation much worse.

When evaluating the potential new engine he's working on you have to look at the engines he has made in the past. The last one was monetised and didn't do very well because it was closed-source. I wanted to know if his new engine that he posted about would be the same as that engine- I'm glad it's not and that it'll be back to normal as that's how it'll get the most users and therefore get the most discussion, tutorials and resource sharing to happen. > > > > Jc has a good track record for getting engines into the peoples' hands- if he says his next engine is open-source then it's something I can look forward to, he knows what he's doing. > > But you where not "just making sure you wheren't going to do the same thing agian." You didnt even bother to check his site that clearly states its going to be open source. When evaluating the potentinal engine the first step would be to actually bother checking his engine out, not just assuming. Incorrect. First you look at who's making the engine. As far as looking at his website, I had only learned after posting my previous posts that jcsnider even had a website or had released engines after the ones he had released here. It's not exactly written in his post or signature that he has a website or that he has a list of engines he's made.
  11. Yeah- that inner-industry contractual stuff is what killed Spork's engine and community.
  12. There actually are some pokemon engines around- you'd be best off if you asked BeNjO, he literally has an archive of all the engines made in the community, going back years. He'll have some engine or something that's pokemon related for sure.

Jc has a good track record for getting engines into the peoples' hands- if he says his next engine is open-source then it's something I can look forward to, he knows what he's doing.

    @or3o I was referring to the Eclipse engine he'd made for this community, in which he had a silver and gold tier. You were limited in the free version and had to buy the gold tier to actually make use of the engine. @jcsnider Great. Sorry you feel it was besides the point- it was very relevant from my perspective since that freemium thing was a pretty big goof, just making sure you weren't going to do the same thing again and I could perhaps look forward to your work.

    Growlith- Haven't you been doing that since 2014? Do you keep restarting it or something? Jc- Is it another "Pay for features" type engine where you don't get source access unless you pay? Xer - Have you got a thread about it? Good luck to all who try. It's the thought that counts.
