Thank you Mortal for your helping hand  Hope that fixes you up pretty good there Tahnner. Good luck
-
I made the fix in **EO - Event System 2.3** to be exact. This doesn't mean the same backwards code isn't in any other versions though. I also threw this little fix into a tutorial quite like my post after replying to this topic.
-
You know what, good question. I'll respond to that by saying this fix is for EO - Event System 2.3
-
Then I'm having a really hard time understanding what you're asking. What do you mean by "bk color"? Are you referring to the background to an image? Like say you have a square image with a sword in the center and all the color around the sword is white. The background of that image is White. Are we on the same page here? Are you saying you want the white to go away like items and such in DX8 sources? If so, use an advanced paint program like I mentioned above to turn the white background (or whatever color yours is) transparent. Then use the tutorial code to display the image. That should do it.
-
Then so am I. 
-
Looks like it may very well be a bunch a decomposing horse shit. We'll see though, I applied. I'm interested if this is legit.
-
I know you didn't want it but this tutorial [here](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129417-8-directional-movement/) should answer all or most of your 'wheres'. It seems pointless for someone to have to type it all out for you. Just shield your eyes  Only look at the parts that say things like 'Put this in modBLAH'
-
Do you already have 8dir movement implemented? The reason I'm asking is because I believe the original 4dir blocks should work just fine. Feel free to correct me.
-
What's the error in that highlighted section? Like 'Subscript out of range'? What's the issue and exactly what line is it breaking on?
-
The way I see it you're wanting to draw images to a chatbox/gui with an invisible/transparent background. If I have this right so far. I'm using a source called **Eclipse Mega**. This source uses DirectX 8\. You haven't specified what source you're using so I'll assume you can reference this one. I, myself, would look at how the Client is rendering the Option buttons to the GUI menu just to start. With this you'll see how the button pictures are brought into view, so add another statement to the rendering of the chatbox/gui adding your picture to it. It's a theory but I believe it's accurate. Now, for having a transparent background, you'll use a paint program like photoshop to set the opacity/transparency of the image. After that, loading it into view should do the rest. Again, I'm referencing **EM**, you'll most likely need to do the same to understand.
Welp, didn't see you said DD7, this is only for DX8\. My apologies. Since I already replied I'll see if I can't come back and edit this with more pertaining information. -And here's what I got:

> There's just no easy way to get that 'look' and 'feel' without upgrading to DX8
Try this tutorial [here](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/103459-blt-ing-images-onto-the-picscreen-via-code-by-mrmiguu/page__hl__%2Btransparent+%2Bimage) .
It might do what you need done as long as you set the images background to transparent beforehand like I mentioned above. -
> Wouldn't it be better to let the server send the target details?
As soon as you click something on-screen, if it is target-able, it is sent to the server which interprets it and sends it back. I just said that up above bud. -
> If you can make NPCs follow then making a player follow another player isn't hard but yeah, it is different 
Ya damn right it's different lol. Because when the player moves up and your behind them, you move up, but ig you're beside the player and he/she moves up, you don't want to be walking side-by-side do you? No, when you follow someone you're behind them. So this constantly keeps you behind the player you follow.  Oh and polearms are now no longer able to attack through blocked tiles or resources. -
> Ya, all I really did with the quest system was re-design the quest window players view, I used the code that Death put into the engine for me as I didn't have the time to put it in on my own.
You did well sir. There's still some more tweeking to have it fully bug-free, but as of now I haven't come across any other hard errors.
> The polearm system works as a basic system, but it should be revised so you can't hit through blocks so you don't have players attacking through a wall or something lol.
Exactly, I completely agree. Not gonna be too difficult really. I just see adding a few more If/Then statements taking care of that.
I'm going for harder things first. I come back to the easy parts when I get too frustrated with something else 
> I think you've done a pretty good job. I'm just looking for something that will set this custom engine apart.
Where have you seen or heard of a Follow Feature? I thought that was pretty damn custom… *heartbroken* lol
Something else I noticed with the Polearm system; let's say you're looking to the left and the enemy is is at your X - 1 and your Y + 1\. You can still hit the enemy even though it's not actually in front of you. Which makes sense since polearms are a WIDE swinging weapon. I kinda like that about it. Whether it was actually meant to work that way is another story. 
EDIT: I have resolved the polearms. They no longer attack through blocked tiles. -
You have no idea how long it took me to fix that lol. How many hours I was stumped. I've worked on other things since then, but if I remember correctly, while the person who made the quest system was adding things to it, he/she had made a saved file, added more things, and then the old values couldn't be buffered properly. I could be wrong, but it's pretty much my only thesis since just wiping the quests fixed the problem. It just took me so long to come up with the idea to wipe them. I was looking everywhere, checking everything… Pisses me off just thinking about it lol
As for the Polearm code, it works. Not perfectly, but well enough. Yes, it needs revised, but it's okay for now 
**Thank you for your reply.** -
If you are using Origins or Mega then here's a thought that may clear things up and make it easier for you.
**(1st)**
When you click to target something, PlayerSearch(CurX, CurY) is called in the HandleMouseDown sub. This sends a packet to the server where the server interprets it in modHandleData - HandleSearch.
**(2nd)**
HandleSearch figures out if you've targeted an npc or a player and then sends back the index and the target type to modHandleData - HandleTarget.
**(3rd)**
Now the client has the target and the type of target.
My recommendation is to simply use the global variable 'MyTargetType' to identify the target and simply get the vitals appropriately.
This can all be done Client-Side.
I know I could have just said that but I feel you should know more about what you're doing to get better at doing it.
**(Side-Note)**
To be clear:
GetPlayerVital(index, HP) Returns the player's current health
GetPlayerMaxVital(index, HP) Returns a player's health when it's full
NPC(npcnum).HP Returns an npc's health when it's full
Correct me if I'm wrong in any way. I'm not a god, I do make mistakes. -
I like coffee simply because I believe there's so much more you can do with the flavor of it versus the flavor of tea and I like options.
-
> Not sure if you've cleaned up the post or not but to me it looks pretty neat 
Yes, It's been cleaned up. It did actually look pretty bad at first.
> Is it just me or haven't you added the list for what you're planning on adding?
I'm pretty much deciding what I want to add as I go. Most of what I've come up with has to do with what I've already added. Underneath of something I've changed/built you'll see something like "I might do this" or "I plan to change this to this" and so on and so forth. I don't actually have a list of things to add. Other than that, what do you think? -
Not my strong point. If I posted like I coded I believe it would be beautiful 
I originally just pulled it out of my text file that I use to keep track of my work. -
~The Final Frontier~
-Official Release Page-
What I have for you here is a highly modified version of Eclipse Mega, which is a highly modified version of Eclipse Origins. You may not notice any cosmetic changes, but if you look under the hood, you'll find a 400 horsepower Cummins engine with edge juice, quad x2 race box, smarty sr, and ppe box, upgrades. Now I have no idea what any of that means, but I know that's one hell of an engine. And that's what I have for you here. So take a gander and see what it's like to be behind to most stable, feature packed gaming engine Eclipse has ever seen!! And it only gets better from here.

~Images~
>! Basic Idea drawing for the new Main Menu background. I apologize for the amount of time it took to get it. However,
>! the actual image has been completed and is now implemented. It's fantastic artwork by a new member of our community
>! known as ArmlessFiddler. Can't wait for you to see it in the next update! The basic idea was to display an Eclipse. This is
>! to behold the legacy of the name. The actual image you'll seen in the update shows the comparison of
>! the beginning and modern day eclipse. Referring to the beginning of the engine up to now. I hope you'll like it, I know I do.
>! Now for the actual image XD
>! As for the new book item type, here's the basic GUI. It has an opening animation and page turning animations.
~Objectives~
>! **OBJECTIVES**
>! **- Make a converter for items/npcs/quests/players**
**- Marriage System(**Only an Idea. I feel variations in qualities this feature would require for certain games make the system too difficult to generalize**)**
**- Make different Chat Box sizes**
**- (DONE)My own variation of a Conbination System(**I want to have items brighten when you 'Single' click it then allow you to 'Combine' it with another item.**)**
**- Resource Stages for different activities/tools/items required/given**
**- Achievement System and Accompanying Client Editor.**
**- Full Screen capabilities****-**
>! ^ More Good News About These Additions ^
>! You can start using this base to create your game right now!!. I will update this engine as I continue with it BUT, and as you can tell that's quite a large but, I'll simply allow the download of the updated and compiled Sever.exe and Client.exe so you won't have to delete players/quests/npcs/or items unless otherwise notified. That's easy enough right?? You're welcome.

**Highlight an item by clicking on it in your inventory.**
>! **TEMPORARY items download available from 4/12/13 - 4/17/13**
>! To clarify, the Combination System is a system that allows you to highlight items in your inventory. If you click on another item while you have one highlighted, the system will match the two items to a combination that you have previously made and allow you to trade out items, give experience, and more. Someone said to me that it's like Alchemy. Well they're not wrong. But that's not all. Imagine a fletching skill. You don't want your knife to disappear when you use it on wood. Well try out the new Combination System and see for yourself how powerful it really is. And get this… It's just a start!! There's much more that can be done. Are you excited?? Me too

Not quite but close. Kudos sir, thank you for putting that out there. That code does not include what is in SpellPlayer_Effect sub which is needed to display the initial impact of the spell. What it has that mine doesn't is the NPC portion. As a side-note, the version of eclipse that is available to download now already has your refrenced code in it except it **still** doesn't include the SendVital part. I don't understand why but that's how it is.

Ever made a spell that heals the caster over time? I know I have, and it shows the +00 in green floating up from your forehead every second or however long you set the interval, but it doesn't change your health. Crappy issue, but I'll show you how to fix it.
1) In Server>modCombat>SpellPlayer_Effect you'll need to add some things. To make it easier for you simply change this:
```
If increment Then
SetPlayerVital index, Vital, GetPlayerVital(index, Vital) + Damage
If Spell(spellnum).Duration > 0 Then
AddHoT_Player index, spellnum
End If
ElseIf Not increment Then
SetPlayerVital index, Vital, GetPlayerVital(index, Vital) - Damage
End If
```
To This:
```
If increment Then
SetPlayerVital index, Vital, GetPlayerVital(index, Vital) + Damage
DoEvents
SendVital index, HP
If Spell(spellnum).Duration > 0 Then
AddHoT_Player index, spellnum
End If
ElseIf Not increment Then
SetPlayerVital index, Vital, GetPlayerVital(index, Vital) - Damage
DoEvents
SendVital index, HP
End If
```
The main issue isn't that it's not healing you, only that it's not updating your health. Hang on though, we're not done yet.
2) In Server>modCombat>HandleHoT_Player change this:
```
' time to tick?
If GetTickCount > .Timer + (Spell(.Spell).Interval * 1000) Then
If Spell(.Spell).Type = SPELL_TYPE_HEALHP Then
SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightGreen, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.HP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.HP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
Else
SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightBlue, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.MP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.MP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
End If
```
To this:
```
' time to tick?
If GetTickCount > .Timer + (Spell(.Spell).Interval * 1000) Then
If Spell(.Spell).Type = SPELL_TYPE_HEALHP Then
SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightGreen, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.HP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.HP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
DoEvents
SendVital index, HP
Else
SendActionMsg Player(index).Map, "+" & Spell(.Spell).Vital, BrightBlue, ACTIONMSG_SCROLL, Player(index).x * 32, Player(index).y * 32
SetPlayerVital index, Vitals.MP, GetPlayerVital(index, Vitals.MP) + Spell(.Spell).Vital
DoEvents
SendVital index, HP
End If
```
See, all I'm doing is adding a call to update the player with his/her new health. The DoEvents is just to make sure things don't get crunched together or accidentally missed.. May be useless. I like it so screw you  Hope this helps someone. -
Thank you very much.

Found in EO - Event System 2.3
In Client>modGameEditors>SpellEditorInit replace:
```
' build class combo
.cmbClass.AddItem "None"
.cmbClass.Clear
```
with this:
```
' build class combo
.cmbClass.Clear
.cmbClass.AddItem "None"
```
Before this is fixed, the spell editor will never actually select the proper class because without the 'None' option in the combobox, it returns the wrong index. Simple fix. Hope this helps some. Took me a good moment to finger it out myself. -
I just fixed this myself lol. Robin accidentally had two important statements in the wrong place. No worries. Not a problem. The class box SHOULD have a 'None' option. But it doesn't, and I'll show you why. In Client>modGameEditors>SpellEditorInit change this code:
```
' build class combo
.cmbClass.AddItem "None"
.cmbClass.Clear
```
to
```
' build class combo
.cmbClass.Clear
.cmbClass.AddItem "None"
```
The 'None' option was added but then immediately removed. Without the 'None' option, your selection is returning the wrong index. so if you have:
Warriors
Wizards
and you select Wizards, it's going to return that you selected Warriors because it doesn't account for the missing 'None'. Hope this is understood. I believe this will solve your problem… Did for me.

Meaning you don't have to add anything to the Server..
So to answer your question; Obviously yes because it already does.
Please excuse me for not being more clear. I apologize
Also excuse my attitude, I've been up all night. I'm tired and stressed
