I've been told by my boss that it's really worth a watch if you're into historically accurate Japanese movies. I think it's something like 9 hours long being a TV mini series but from the clips I've seen on youtube I'll probably pick it up. [http://youtu.be/rgUqk2tl31o](http://youtu.be/rgUqk2tl31o)

Think you could make something that would fit in with these graphics?

Here's my top 5 list of game engines: 1\. GameMaker Studio (I use this for everything. Including prototyping software and editing pixel art.) 2\. Eclipse Origins 3 (Perfect after all the bug fixes -.-) 3\. Coffee MUD Engine (This one is just neat. Look it up if you think graphics aren't everything.) 4\. RPG Maker VX Ace (A powerful story telling tool in the right hands.) 5. Adventure Maker (Made my first games with this and MSpaint.)

Okay I just wanted to get some input before going through the trouble of making the virtual machines to test installation.

What files do I need to install for the runtime, where do they go, and do I need to register them too? I think I have the files I need in "program files > eclipse runtime files > runtimes" but when I'm installing them do I just need to install them to a folder or do I register them too?

I need someone who can make a nice GUI for EO3\. I like the original a lot and I'd like something similar but I don't know any good graphic artist. I can pay $30-$50\. The GUI doesn't have to be made for me, I'd be happy to buy something you made in the past or just have rights too. If you want to play my game to get a better idea of what its like contact me and I'll send you a client. Feel free to call or text if you want. 

Thank you for this tut! I changed if on safe map to if shift is held and I got exactly what I was looking for.

Oh well that's easy! thank you!

How can i stop players from flooding chat with huge messages? I'm still new to vb6 if someone has the function or whatever it's called to test the number of characters in the textbox that'd be a great start!

Thank you! I'll try this when i get back to my server.

I use EO3 and when my players are grinding from time to time a monster will drop an item and in some cases that item will disappear in as little as a second. Any way to fix this? I have vb6 to edit code with if I need to. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. If you know what's causing this let me know please.

> its trying to pull an index that is outs of bounds, if you hover over the word index it would probably say 0. > > just means that when the leader leaves its not kicking people properly and unloading everything, its trying to continue the party and boom error. Thanks :) I'm sure my fix isnt the best way to handle this issue but I'll see what happens

OMG found the fix… maybe. We'll see but for now it looks like its working :) Edit the server in Public Sub Party_ShareExp Find ``` ' find out the equal share expShare = exp \ (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount) leftOver = exp Mod (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount) ``` Replace with ``` ' recount the freaking party members Party_CountMembers partyNum ' find out the equal share expShare = exp \ (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount) leftOver = exp Mod (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount) ```

Okay well, I ran the server in vb6 and made a party. The party can earn EXP all day but when one person leaves and the party gets smaller the new party crashes the server on the next kill. the error happens here: Server side ``` Function GetPlayerExp(ByVal index As Long) As Long > GetPlayerExp = Player(index).exp End Function ```

Okay, just thought I'd find out if someone else had a solution for this. I'm still new to vb6\. My friend had a good idea though, until i can fix the issue I think I'll just disband the party when the leader leaves.

Thank you for the replies! I think I'll just stick to EO3 then. I already have a few bug fixes and mods the biggest issue is that my server will crash when a new party leader is made in any party.

After the leader of a party leaves the new leader kills something and the server crashes. Is this only for me?

Okay so the big one.. If I buy gold and the activation servers go down will I still be able to use the engine? In the event that my game out-lives the engine support I'd like to still be able to run my game. Question 2: What kind of monetization features does EO4 have if any. I was going to use a mod for EO3 to sell serial keys for items but EO3 is turning out to have too many bugs. Question 3: Any really big bugs I have to worry about?! How good is the support? Question 4: What are the limits of silver? If I like the answer to question 1 I'll buy Gold anyway I'm just curious.

Could anyone make a tutorial for how to make a smart walkthrough source edit? Example of what I mean: Player A just so happens to want to walk through Player B. Player A walks/pushes into Player B for ~2 seconds. Player A is allowed to walk through Player B. Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial! We'll be using this feature to give out promotional items at the next convention we go to. Is there any issue with making a form instead of a picturebox? It appears to work fine but I'm still new to vb6 so I can't be sure.

I recently started working on a new game and I was asking myself the same question. I paid for my music and graphics and spent a large number of hours converting the sprites to work with EO 3.0 I just thought I'd login and let you know that this may be an option for us. [http://enigmaprotector.com/](http://enigmaprotector.com/) It's one of a few programs out there that can visualize your software in order to protect resources. I'm still playing with it and so far so good. It still may not be perfect but it stops 12 year olds from getting into your graphics. Edit: It was working at first but now I'm getting missing file errors. Make sure to get the trial first if you're thinking about using this software. Also you can probably forget about the password saving function. Nothing can be written to the files being protected as far as I know. Edit 2: If you can't write to files you can't change options or play at all really. Enigma doesn't have file writing functionality so I'm trying some other options.

Thank you for the quick response Formerly Jaxx! I think EO 2.3 is actually what I used as a kid when I first joined this community. It should work perfect for my project. You may get a PM from me after I fail to get mp3 playback and projectiles in on my own though! :D

I don't like Eclipse Origins really. The gold membership and the shared server thing kill it for me. I haven't been here for a while so I thought I'd ask if you guys if you knew what version of Eclipse would be best for me. Is there a version of Eclipse that has: magic and skills projectiles 32x64 height sprites maybe rpg maker format sprites and mp3 music Let me know if you have any ideas!
