[The nerve on some people!]

Grammar is a good sign of intelligence, <_<.

I'm usually the person asking noob questions to all the 1337 eclipse-ers, but  at least I try to make some sort of sense.

Logic + noob = tolerable
noob+ noob= blocking, lmao-ing, wasted life, and funny threads. Uh, I think I just made the latter sound good… D:

[Making a timer to restrict Do events to prevent flickering on pic.screen]

Basically some of us get a weird pic screen flicker when we use transparent forms or colors. (actually from what I read it's kind of common) I read around and saw that HM(Zetta Monkey) had made a response about DoEvents. So I pm'd him and asked for a idiot friendly response, he said "make the Doevents happen less often) So I had no clue how to do that, even after researching the subject. I then asked Godlord how to do the same thing, because he's 1337, and he said take them out all together, which would be insane for me to do since I'm a noob and barely have a grasp on vb as it is. So to explain my issue in more simple words, When I put something transparent on frmMirage I get a flicker on pic screen.

Ps: I managed to slow the flicker down, and even stop it(but when I did stop it Picscreen went blank)

[Why procrastination is bad!]

That's so true, if you let things go for to long or are not active about it there's no telling what monsters you'll make. ^_^ it's like forgetting to do your math homework and trying do it an hour before class, only to realize you don't know what the hell your supposed to be doing. X_x

[Making a timer to restrict Do events to prevent flickering on pic.screen]

Unless someone can give me a reliable and easily accomplished answer, I don't think this is achievable. :( HM said to slow down how often they are called(DoEvents) and Godlord to get rid of them all together(tons and tons of source editing) So for now I'm going to declare this impossible; however, I'm going to recreate the situation and run it on a vista v-box and see if it's my computer or not.

[ZOMG! Gaia Online Browser game!]

Though the sprite frame system is weird I'm generally fond of the Gfx for the game. Though I'm with Anna their map layouts and linking is kinda "bland" to say the least. If they expand on the current areas, or at least add new ones it'll be much better. Oh for you guys who are still playing regularly have they fixed that whole ubber lag when multiple people are continuously using skills on a single map screen. Also what about that horrible memory consumption? Firefox using nearly a gig of memory is nutz.

[The nerve on some people!]

I could see why they quit.

[ZOMG! Gaia Online Browser game!]

I've played this, I got up to Zen Gardens,(6.1OCL), But I got tired of noobs, and joyness so I got myself banned from gaia. ^_^

[The nerve on some people!]

Meh I said that more in humor than seriousness, though sometimes the mind does wander.  ;)

[The nerve on some people!]

I'm actually speechless…. Okay I know what to say now(brain had to reboot from the stupidity). You know conversations like this are the exactly reason I contemplate killing myself on a daily basis; not because I'm emo, or depressed, but because I can't handle all the idiocy that's hurled at me on a daily basis. X_x

[Making a timer to restrict Do events to prevent flickering on pic.screen]

Really? I think I may have been AFK then. So Let me get this right, I just c/p the events I want to time into the timer code sub. I need to keep their original subs right?

[Making a timer to restrict Do events to prevent flickering on pic.screen]

Yeah I was wondering about the interval is in milliseconds right?

[Making a timer to restrict Do events to prevent flickering on pic.screen]

Hey Guise? I was messing with that transparency form stuff and, ZM suggested that I make a timer and restrict how often do events are done, but I am a noob and can't figure out how to do this for the life of me. If you guys would help me figure this out I'd be very grateful

[Making an item disappear?]

This was stated above, but have you put in the "take" functions yet? I had a similar problem and after adding all the proper functions at the bottom of my main it worked perfectly.

[Can't seem to get this hotkey case to work.]

I had a feeling you'd still be around. Thanks for the help.

[Can't seem to get this hotkey case to work.]

This is for the delete key, not that it matters. Basically when you click on the delete key it's supposed to check for the variable stored in the ini, and show an image accordingly. Here's what I have so far.

```
Case 2
                  If Call GetVar("accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(index) & ".ini", "CHAR" & GetPlayerCharNum(Index), "Badgelevel") = 0 Then
Call CustomMenuShow(index , "Achievements" , "\GUI\minimenus.jpg" , 1 )
                  Else
Call CustomMenuShow(index , "Achievemens" , "\Badges\Bolder badge.bmp" , 1 )
                End If
      Exit Sub
```
I'd use a simple If/Then but I need to be able to add more pictures as the variable gets higher as I go.

[Got a little question about a scripted item(Solved)]

Thank you so much. ^_^

You know I actually face palmed when I realized what you changed.

[Got a little question about a scripted item(Solved)]

So I'm making a scripted item, when you use the item it adds to a variable in an ini in the accounts folder. The problem is at the end. It needs to get the variable to add to it, I think, but it won't seem to work. If someone could help me make this work i'd appreciate it.

Here's the code

```
Case 1
                        Call PutVar("accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(index) & ".ini " , "CHAR" & GetPlayerCharNum(Index) , "badgelevel",GetVar("accounts\GetPlayerLogin(Index) & ".ini","CHAR" & GetPlayerCharNum(Index),"badgelevel")+1)
                        Call TakeItem(index,4,0)                     
                        Exit Sub
```

I'm interested in mapping, and maybe some item graphics…

[Why Spam is Bad]

Spam is a part of forums, there's no way around it. If you are too strict about the rules there will only be Marsh and the mods left in the end. Not to mention, isn't 80% of this thread spam by default?

I like the notion, but I know better.

[Some Items: Want some opinions]

I think I have some ideas on what to do with the handle. That's not a stick. :D It's a LAW anti tank gun. Though the coloring is weird. I did them in paint so the color pallet is crud.

[Some Items: Want some opinions]

So I've been doing items for a few days, and a lot of people think they are good. here are the two I like the best.

"really insane? What i mean is that the Sane could just be controlled little minds, never knowing the truth, when the Insane always know the truth and why."

Agreed, better to be delightfully insane.

[Making money?]

I'm with Devogen on this all the way. I've heard of ignorant people, but that takes the cake. Over all this thread has been funny, but People let me say(to OP) A)IF ANYONE PAYS FOR ANYTHING THAT IS ON MYSPACE/FACEBOOK THEY ARE RETARDED. B) The eclipse community is tired of seeing scammers/noobs/idots and just plain ignorant people. I've read it all and I think a Certain funny admin should start editing posts and point out some reasons why this is sticky-ed.
