wow my live ran out a few days ago. -.-

@Jeff: > why isn't there a download link? I thought there was earlier, and the progress is done… someone enlighten me? there is a lot done, but it's not finished. He's in alpha testing now I believe. We're all waiting on an update or something, even for it to be completed, but he's a one man team so just sit back and relax :icon_beer:, it'll be out when it's out ;D

@Azure: > Not to backseat mod, but shouldn't this thread discussion involve talk about the engine rewrite? ;D Speaking of that, have you actually sat down and made any changes or did you give up when it came time for testing and fixing? well I just thought I might lighten the mood or change topic for a bit, I mean after all, he is under some pressure from impatient people :)

aww okay :)

@jcsnider: > Sorry guys, no I am not giving up, no even close. I am just currently addicted to Black Ops…. I will be right back on this in a week or so :D gamertag/psn?

Yes it did, thank you :) haha yeah, when I initially set out I didn't think it would be that hard, but the more I got into it the more it seemed I needed to program it which is why I thought to ask you guys if you knew anything of how to do it. Haha well that's what I figured so thanks :azn: Thanks again for your guys' patience, it's much appreciated

Like okay, if you run winrar you can "extract" the server.exe into a folder. In the folder is, what I'm assuming to be, the files that are "compiled" into the .exe. I'm wondering how to recompile the folder with those files into the .exe again.

Funny you should say buy an external hard drive. . . I do have that. . . Okay and forgive me Robin, it has been over a year+ since I've last been on this site, let alone tried to program or do anything this intensive EDIT: Perhaps I had worded my question wrong, is it possible to recreate the server.exe that I had torn down to its essential files by winraring it?

The laptop's ancient, I doubt it would even run the game efficiently, the new laptop battery is probably worth more than the laptop itself. So yeah and I really don't wanna buy a new laptop. . . which led me to this conclusion you can somehow make it look for the .dll's in a different location other than C:\Windows\system32

Well 'cause the laptop I do have has no battery and life, and this seems more. . . useful in my opinion, to be able to plug in anywhere and mess around with the game.

Sign me up, I'd love to play against a good challenge

Basically run without having the .dll's or make it find the .dll's in a different location. Like on a flashdrive, that kind of portable

So you're saying that it is possible to make a "portable" version of the client/server so it could be worked on on the go?

So I was playing around with winrar/7zip and I discovered you can extract the library exe file and lo and behold when you extract it it gives you all the .dll's required to play/run/develop with EE. Makes sense right? So I got curious and extracted the server.exe file and lo and behold I got 3 documents. A (I'm assuming) a resource (it was .rscs I think) file, some other miscellaneous one, and a text file. Now I opened that text file and found some interesting things, mainly confusing jargon, but every once in a while I'd stumble upon a line saying "C:\Windows\system32\*******.dll (or whatever that other extension for .dll's is, I think it's like .ocx or .oca) now it is my theory (I'm a novice programmer so I do not know if this is possible) that if you change the "C:\Windows\system32" part to something different, like perhaps you personal directory at work (making this up but) somethin' like "H:\boss\my documents\EE\*******.dll" you could, in theory create a portable version of EE. Sounds good to me, I mean you don't actually have to install anything this way so no need to worry about administrator privileges or anything. Now my problem is that once I extract the .exe and make the changes so that it looks for the .dll's in a different location I can't reconstruct it back into a .exe to test my theory. If anyone could offer a solution/input/advice it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks ^^ P.S. I don't know if this has been brought up before, if so please point me to where/how they did it.

seriously though, is there an estimated release date? like fall of next year (2010) or something? and will spells actually work? like in EE2.7, i had issues getting the default spell maker to work, all i could do was make AoE spells basically…and i was lucky to get those to work

i try not to, but by the time i posted i realized i double posted. sorry shoo while we're on it, what does energy do?

one final thing (sorta off topic) but what does speed do?

grr dangit! oh well there goes that idea! thx for the help tho

oh shoot, that sounds harder than i was hoping…cuz i have no clue how to type vb6 or where to begin editing(like do i need a program to do it)

ok then, thanks, but how do i do a source edit? (usining EE 2.7)

When you log into your game (using the default GUI), click the Character tab on the menu, so then it shows Level, Strength, Defense, etc. Is there a way to change what it so it says like Attack, Strength, Agility, etc? Or perhaps what i'm looking for is more a coding thing, i'm not sure.

oh really?… and thats on Eclipse Evolution? hmm... i've been making my spells to ez to learn then

and how do you make it so that spells are based off of stats versus general lvl? i looked at the edit spell but it doesnt have that option

ok thx, and i know this prolly aint the best place to put this but does anybody know how to script a spell and/or is it possible to script a spell to summon things?

Rte 10 is not too bad but it causes me to constantly restart the server when ever it appears. i am running the server on windows vista.
