This topic isn't a debate field, and it's not here so you can argue about the legality of it.
* Making a game, using other copyrighted material, is illegal no matter whether or not you give credit. The exception is if you receive permission/a license from the author.
* It is possible, however unlikely, that you will receive a cease-and-desist, which means you must shut down your game.
* If you do not shut down your game, the original author has the right to pursue legal action. This does not mean they will or must.
I'll lock this topic now as this is devolving into a flamewar instead of a civil discussion. If you wish, you can make a debate post about the likelihood of receiving a cease-and-desist and being sued. -

This error has to do with VB6 SP6, not with .DLL registration.

Download VB6 SP6, run it as an administrator with compatibility for XP SP3\. Then, redownload Eclipse's source code. -
Make sure you install VB6 SP6, and then redownload Eclipse's source. It might not fix all the errors, but I'm pretty sure it will fix the first two.

Have you compiled the client in VB6? (File > Make Eclipse Origins.exe) -

Follow [Step 3 of this guide](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/page/index.html/wiki.html/_/eclipse-origins/tutorials-1344890800/installing-eclipse-origins-r3). -
It might sound obvious, but just to be safe: have you actually equipped the item?

It does have the in-game CS:DE GUI. -

This doesn't address the main point, your help, although a good attempt at addressing the issue, was wrong. I am not being so much arrogant, as being factual. I do have to come in here, because without it he would have the right answer to the wrong question.
His question was quite clear after he clarified, and understandable even before he clarified. **This rule has been in place for a long time. Your help was incorrect.** -

That post is from September 11, 2011, so it's not that recent. -

You are, of course, perfectly free to ask for clarification. However, I don't want people shooting around in the blind in hopes of stumbling upon the solution.
Also this rule has been in place for quite some time: refer to [this topic](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/98399-dont-know-the-answer-dont-reply/). -

Doesn't matter. Your help was extremely detrimental to the actual process. I had zero problem understand what he meant.

This is the constant:
```
Public Const GAME_WEBSITE As String = "http://www.touchofdeathforums.com"
```
(Also, see Options.Website server-side.)

If you don't know the answer, please don't reply. -
Confirming this as a bug. You can only withdraw as much gold as you have currently.
To fix this, find:
```
If Val(txtCurrency.text) > GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, tmpCurrencyItem) Then txtCurrency.text = GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, tmpCurrencyItem)
```
and change it to:
```
If Val(txtCurrency.text) > GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, tmpCurrencyItem) And CurrencyMenu <> 3 Then txtCurrency.text = GetPlayerInvItemValue(MyIndex, tmpCurrencyItem)
```
Escalating to the Bug Tracker as well to have this fixed in the next release. [(Bug tracker link.)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=25) -
Can you take a picture of the error or tell us what it said?
-
There's a "Full Version" button at the bottom of the site.
-
Try looking at the existing code, see if you can get that to work (a good place to start is Sub PlayerMsg). If not, I'll help you later.

It can't. The server cannot and does not send the "Exit Sub" to the client. The "Exit Sub" exits the current sub the server is in. You will need to send a packet back to the client, which the client could then use to determine whether or not to continue. -
Uhhh…? What? Exit Sub exits the subroutine it is currently in. It does not send a message to the client telling it to Exit Sub, or stop something. You can have the server send that message back to the client with another packet, and then the new packet could hide the form from the client.
-
What part "doesn't work"? What steps have you followed to add this packet?
Also try this:
```
Sub HandleCheckCurrency(ByVal index As Long, ByRef Data() As Byte, ByVal StartAddr As Long, ByVal ExtraVar As Long)
Dim Buffer As clsBuffer
Dim itemamount As Long
Set Buffer = New clsBuffer
Buffer.WriteBytes Data()
itemamount = Buffer.ReadLong
' check gold
If itemamount > HasItem(index, 1) Then
PlayerMsg index, "Not enough gold.", BrightRed
Exit Sub
End If
Set Buffer = Nothing
End Sub
```
Now:
```
Call CheckCurrency(x)
```
will check if they have more than x currency. -
Didn't we already go over this in the shoutbox? No, there is no way.

First, look at how classes are done. Try to replicate that except change class to race.
Then you could do something like:
```
Select Case Player(index).Race
Case 1 ' player is race 1'
Select Case Player(index).Class
Case 1 ' player is race 1 & class 1 '
Case 2 ' player is race 1 & class 2 '
End Select
Case 2 ' player is race 2'
Select Case Player(index).Class
Case 1 ' player is race 2 & class 1 '
Case 2 ' player is race 2 & class 2 '
End Select
Case 3 ' player is race 3'
Select Case Player(index).Class
Case 1 ' player is race 3 & class 1 '
Case 2 ' player is race 3 & class 2 '
End Select
End Select
``` -
Look at Function HasItem.

Scaling magic damage with opponents stats?
in Q & A
Posted
You're not supposed to bump threads unless 1 day has passed (3 is best).
For spell damage, check out Sub CastSpell. Especially important is this line:
```
Vital = Spell(spellnum).Vital
```
index is the caster's index. Also see: Case SPELL_TYPE_DAMAGEHP, where it decides whether the target is a player or NPC, and work from there to change the vital.
To add categories, check out how the existing things are saved, used, sent, and displayed in the spell editor. This may sound like a lot, but if you just choose one thing to copy (like the Vital, for example) you can figure it out.
Of course, you are free to post if you need more help.
