@l0lz!: > Dont Mix RMXP trees, add more flourishment, and whats with the gravestones? its the new abstract mapping technique, never heard of it? wow and i thought you were up with the times… haha joking but it kind of works... just noticed the dark hunter greeen looking tree by gravestones is too small in comparison to the other trees and objects surrounding it

haha, if only people knew all the secrets. XD

who said chilidog XD

Edit: ok, ok. I was only joking XD

@Owen: > Yeah, i mean if it was **the** adult board, it might get a little bit more hope. since when was there an adult board? oh you must mean "Need A Job?" board..

all I could think of was "wtf?" then I noticed the picture and realized that was a bird I shot when I was little ><

flower top right (red) seems out of place… add some birds o.O

There was this guy you see, back in 1990 he was playing this game and he loved the game and played it all the time, so much so he began to loose track of time in the day and it would be midnight before he knew it. After several months of playing like this he began to get drained and drained of energy as if he wasn't getting enough sleep and it began to show on his face and body as he began to loose weight by snacking more and eating less and less full meals… A year passes and one night he was playing in the middle of a gorey level he hears a disturbance behind him because after all he is playing with speakers and not headphones. He went to go see what it was after pausing the game and notices a mouse in the corner and he jumped as it squirmed into a hole which lead to his knife drawer, he opened the drawer with a shoe in his hand and stuck his hand in to remove the plastic tray which held all the utensils and thats when the mouse kinda squeeked and bit him on the finger. He killed the mouse after jumping back and throwing the tray on the floor, luckly the weight of the utensils kinda stunned it for just enough time he was able to hit it with the shoe. After disposing of the mouse out the door he went to go clean his wound and noticed the blood wouldnt stop so he went and put a bandage over the bite. After doing so he returned to his game, noticing the game itself started appearing differently then what he remembered the game as. He sat down in his chair and unpaused the game to begin seeing what was going on with the game. The game started glitching with different colors and kind ripped in graphics. He got plum fed up after an hour of trying to figure out what it was and decided to turn it off and take it in for repairs the next morning to find out what it was and have the issue resolved. During that night as he was asleep he started seeing flashing images in his dream which appeared to be a game and a mouse within the game. He was trying to hit the mouse with a giant looking knife as it was biting him, he noticed it wasn't a game he ever played before, one that looked very interesting even though there was no pain being felt it was if he was within a game itself..... well bleh i may or may not add onto this bleh..

basically you are changing the sprite with them with wings or with some sort of flying sprite with your character attached and you are being allowed to go over everything based on the class you set it for… kind of like how baron? i think it was? did with the admin walking on his maps based on access level..

I actually did away with classes and am letting the player create their character the way they see fit but using the class system as a title system.. ;) so after completing certain quests you get titles. :D which could open up new areas for your character to venture forth in.

we got 120+ Artillery Rounds, I didn't watch them. enough said… I use to like July but after having what happened to me in the past two years I'm not interested in very many holidays other than Christmas. oh well. Hope everyone else's Holidays are a blast though.:)

His body looks a little twisted..  if you notice his arm position and his leg, it looks like he is turning around almost yet not due to how the leg isnt overlapping the other foot… its like that elephant picture you see on the net "does it have 8 legs or 4?" his arm should go more center than behind him and his leg like they said above (his right one) is too big and should be reduced, try switching the legs out, left leg on right and right on left. if this is a front view... you didnt make both legs the same, if you want him positioned slightly cockeyed it would be left leg is biger than right and lower then the right leg.... and you would see part of his shoulder unless this is female, even then you would need to correct the eyes and define the abdomen a little more so it doesnt look like its running together but instead look like there is a crease to seperate the thigh and give it some definition... ;)

ah, make it less square then, perhaps some chunks out of it?

``` Private Sub Form_Load() Move 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height End Sub ``` for the form you are wanting fullscreen the above must be posted within that form…. now for the form you posted above for you select in its options: ``` MaxButton = False WindowState = 2, Maximised BorderStyle = 0, None ``` This will only make the window go fullscreen of whatever the users resolution is.. however this will not stretch the screen to fit the fullscreen… tip: to stretch a picturebox to that of a fullscreen you would use something like ``` Image1.Move 0, 0, Picture1.ScaleWidth, Picture1.ScaleHeight ``` It will take some work if you are wanting it all fullscreen… =\ just note though thta you would be required to add everything in to picture boxes if you want it to over lap you screen... (this is doing it w/o dx) DirectX is still the best way to do things such as this, make your card and your software render together is a good idea if you know what to render from your card and what to render on software... I'm sure there are others who could explain this further but this is the only thing I could come up with that isn't really using directX Edit; bleh, Monkey posted. Guess you dont need this info, anyways I'll leave it here..

hmm less square on the buttons, perhaps adding a "splat" grunge look on the button would work by making it not square until you click on it. The News box is good though, it fits as well as the password boxes, just the buttons shouldnt appear square if its going to be grunge, make it a grungy splat or something.

you could add a maximize button if that is what he is asking then MrMiguu… anyways you can try this: If you are using a mdi form change the "windowstate" property to "2- maximized". If you are not using a mdi form then change all the forms "windowstate" property to "2-maximized" unless of course you are meaning 100% full screen and not maximizing it to a fullscreen... if thats the case, do the above and do the below: set the form borderstyle to 0 at designtime, just make sure you still have the quit button in game otherwise they will have to alt+f4 or ctrl-alt-delete if you want it to appear in system tray during runtime, i think you can do that with windowstate=0 but I'm not sure.. still learning heh.

sounds like slight instability with the program if the rom is working fine…

you can make it full screen by making the picscreen bigger through source edit, if you look under source edits it allows you to make a 800x608 picscreen and have it display properly, if you play with the code you could make it bigger. you can enable two options, full screen and miniscreen all under one client.exe but the thing you would be required to do is to: 1) if you change for full screen you would have to make another code to allow for small screen… or allow a universal code to preselect on a few given factors. 2) two code blocks, one for full one for window, so you would have two of pretty much everything that you modded in code for the fullscreen to allow window mode... and would have to make a new frmMirage and may end up having to copy everything in the other frmMirage... but yes it is possible if you are good with source editing and vb6... I would personally would go with #1, find a way to make it universal so you can call it through a button to switch things over to window mode if needed...

a nicely done custom sprite would look good… perhaps with the edges crisp in a blackness to make it look kind of cel-shaded... and the black tiles to hide the grass.. You cannot really tell the difference between the walk way and the other flooring around it, other than the color... you should make it a little more glassy looking (flooring tiles that is) and find some way to distinguish the tiles between each other but also make it complement each other... It's good but could be a lot better. the gradient of the entrance.... its up a little too much, to give it a 3d apperance you should give a hallway in the middle of the door if its a hallway or something which complements the outside but in a shadow form... (dunno if you know what I'm talking about, hopefully you do..) this will improve the over all appearance of the map being inside while also helping the tiles offset on the ground tiles to the wall tiles.

ok (those were really what I was having problems with) I'll try to fix it but right now Lunch time :) DrNova, you any good at mapping or anything? I'm needing inspiration to become more creative… Deviantart just isn't cutting it... Wouldnt mind something for pixeling inspiration... like a map or something... bleh (just how I roll, it motivates me when I see stuff like this)

yeah… I suck at sides it seems the most easy ones are the front views for me. Any other tips?

ok so I updated the post, let me know what you think about the new one, votes reset.

other than the sprite I did and a few clothings, I havent sprited in over 2 years, and havent drawn in over a year so I hear ya. But yes I like that sprite, I'm going to guess he is looking upwards a little due to the ears pointing downward though.

Anti Aliasing is the style programs like photoshop uses when not using the pencil tool and setting it to hard What it does is it adds different dithering effects of a color so if you select black it will do some transparent like shades of lighter shades of black making it look different like its pressure sensitive almost… it makes it appear more 3d, less sharp and not so much like pixel art.. if you use programs like photoshop use the pencil tool, set it to full fill, select hard brush tip and opacity to 100% and it should make one solid block… otherwise the best to graphics gale that is free is ms paint with a color picker tool to capture shade values with.. Edit: the new one looks 100% better than the old, just work on the knees a little bit and don't tuck the hands in, if you want to draw the hands you are not required to draw the fingers 1 by 1, instead you can use the old 4 finger trick that disney used on their mickey mouse character in the cartoons. but if you need to due to not being able to do the fingers correctly you can do one seperate and the rest all togeather, forming a webbed like hand and seperating the thumb... just try to make it less apparent from looking like a webbed hand though.. The knee you see it looks a little too much. if you look at your leg the knee isnt the biggest part on the leg, its small sort of like your ankles, the joint in the leg seperating the femur and the tibia may look big but really isnt.. if you need more studied for reference you can check this site [Skeletal System - Human Anatomy](http://www.innerbody.com/image/skelfov.html)

woot graphicsgale! I use it :) along with mspaint and color picker X (for spriting at least) hmm I would love to see a walking animation or something of her :)
