Why does it have to be useful for any engine here? You could make it just a game programming contest or something… like ludum dare, idk... -seal

> Do it with any language and I'm game. Exactly. Haven't used vb6 for 2-3 years… And it would only increase the number of contestants. -seal

> The event system can't trigger from items Would be a nice addition to the "TODO"-list right? :P Workarounds can feel a bit cheap… -seal

> equipment boxes that can drop either a random armor piece or weapon boxes that have a small chance of dropping higher level weapons.equipment boxes that can drop either a random armor piece or weapon boxes that have a small chance of dropping higher level weapons. I don't know for sure, but you can probably make an item like this with the event system. -seal

Idk vb, but you can probably create a data-structure for that. A list for example. Google it, it isn't too hard and is probably the solution to your problem. -seal edit: idk if that's possible in vb (i didnt use a non-object-oriented language for a long time), but maybe there is already such a thing that you can just import and use? idk. Good luck. :D

Yeah, "Eatenbrain"… i also found another new forum for some old eclipsians that gave me that warning on EVERY page :D Back to topic: Any updates? I mean, it's been a long time, right? This forum definately needs some new and actively developed engines besides eo4. -seal

And I thought some members are coming back or something like that (judging by the title). Still a cool story though :D -seal

The thing that would scare away most people is the fact that it costs 60$… Also I am SURE that it can't run on ios or android. No hope there because it uses a pretty outdated language. But with enough work you could probably make something pretty cool out of it... Too bad that it is closed source. -seal

Chrome is giving me Malware warnings alot upon opening this thread… Anyone know what's up with that? (sorry to be kinda off-topic) -seal

I think that "Subscript out of range" means that the variable given to the method is not valid in some sort (Too high probably). I don't know how eclipse manages sounds etc. but you should look out for how the sound playing is indexed and if that index is somehow changed or read in a different way which could cause that error. If I knew the engine better I could help more, but I hope that this could give you a clue atleast. Good luck, -seal

I don't really get the goal of the game and wished it was on a bigger surface… 9 Hours seems a bit much to me when I look at the mechanics but every person types at a different speed so that may be normal... More information would be cool: What language? Which libraries? And if it is a LD entry then what was the theme? -seal

Yeah, definately not a gaming rig :D Maybe you can play counterstrike or something with the intel graphics… -seal

Only if you rewrite many parts to work on android (especially rendering, networking, etc.) Looks okay, good decision to use lwjgl and slick. Keep on going, -seal

With the armor one he looks like he is walking a catwalk :D Animation is funny and looks alright. -seal

Side-view is somewhat ugly… atleast the animation is. -seal

I would've looked into this but the code-pasting is already deleted :( *edit: Didn't see the date, sorry. -seal

Which libraries will the engine be utilizing? And information on how far stuff like the engine is developed would be interesting. Good luck with this, writing an online-game-engine from scratch is a lot of work but totally worth it. -seal

You can program these features in by yourself in the engines that aren*t closed source, or let someone else do it for you. But getting a game to the point where these features will acually be used requires a lot of effort. Good luck! -seal

Enable the player to hold down the space button in order to keep shooting. And Gameplay isn't really fun when all enemies just shoot in straight lines (didn't play really far but I think that is how it stays?). Also when such an amount of enemies is on-screen shooting you can't really dodge… it's more like luck than skill atm and I think that is where you should work on. Keep going, - Seal

When googling "convict cartel" I can't even find your homepage, how should others?

Just wanted to ask if anyone is still playing… so? I am a level 40 def and grinding on the end-content again... still fun. -seal

Really talented and professional… Nice. -seal

Wow, they both suck really bad…. And are boring to listen to. thumbs down for both of you... -seal

I think you may want to redo the whole tree… And look into some tutorials. -seal

I personally enjoyed learning java the most because you can do alot with just the standard libraries that come with it. But in the end it doesnt matter as long as you just DO something and learn stuff about syntax etc. by doing so. Have fun! -seal
