Eclipse - Nightly Releases (2.4 -> 3.0)

[Synergy]

Stupid question.. How do you actually create/edit events? -_-

[GodWar]

Go to Map Editor - Choose Events at the right - Then click on the map and the Event Window comes :)

If want to edit: Click on theEvent on the map!

[Synergy]

Wow.
Looks very complicated. Has anyone written up a guide for it yet? If not, would someone _hint, jcsnider, hint_ consider doing one?

I can't even work out where to start..

[Draco.exe]

go to this page…some of the events commands and stuff are very similar: www.rmxp.tigerseye.uk.com/tutorial_event1.shtml

good luck!

Thank you, I'll take a proper look later, but it look very helpful. :)

Thanks again.

I love this engine  :cheesy:

[jcsnider]

I will be doing a huge bug-fix run sometime soon and I will be releasing a new download for those who want it… the only difference will be optimizations that will be found in the downloadable version making the event loops a little quicker because all the gotos have been removed. Stay tuned.

Is there any ETA for this?

[jcsnider]

Nope :/ got a lot going on.

Okay, np. Understandable.
This engine looks really good though. Keep it up. :)

Also, what bugs would be fixed, seeing as the "Known Bugs" is empty?

[jcsnider]

There are several known bugs (just read the last 2 pages). I just have not updated the first post XD

[Lepongistedu63]

Hello, how to delete the 6 maps tutorial ? Thanks.

[aaaron]

Turn your server off, delete the map files out of the 'server/data/maps' and 'client/data/maps'. That should work.

[Lepongistedu63]

Ok thank !

[clark]

jcsnider , when you'll release the next version of Eclipse Nightly , how could we update our project to the next version without deleting anything and without corrupting the game ?
Oh and , do you accept suggestions to add on your engine ? or you choose which system etc … will be on it ? ^^

Just replace the .exes. Not making changes to the data files so nothing will glitch out.

I am finished with making features all that is left are bug fixes.

I've test. It doesn't work, how can i delete ?
I've delete event, but i want delete too all  map…

[sephiron]

I've got a few questions, actually.

For one, what's with the conversation lag? I mean, just in the first map, the NPC would say something, stop talking, I'd be able to do laps around the cell, and then after like 1 minute he'd resume talking.

Just event lag in general. Idunno.

My other question would have to be:
Hey, whatever happened to Eclipse Dawn?
That was a perfect fusion of your event system and traditional Eclipse; and now I just can't find it. Did he give up, or what? I don't expect you to KNOW, but since you were involved with it I thought I'd give it a shot.

[jcsnider]

No idea about your event lag, maybe horrible latency or horrible CPS of your server.. either way, works fine for "most" of us :/

As for Dawn….

If you're using the tilesets that came with it, JC had a converter that would cut the tilesets into 512x512 since he couldn't get the larger tilesets to work.

ah and when i try to make a waterfall wont work correctly…  why?
i mean the animation of waterfall 

[Zetasis]

That most likely has to do with the way your tilesets are setup. If you use the basic RMVX waterfall animation it works great.

[Synergy]

I didn't really want to create a new topic for this, so I'll ask here, but feel free to move it should it warrant it.

Because this uses DX8, how would I go about increasing the screen size? Is it the same as the normal EO, or do I have to do something completely different?

Thanks in advance.

This engine is great, and has come a long way. The one thing I would like to be able to do, (and ive seen it in other custom version so i know its possible), but I'd love being able to use WASD or the arrows for movement.

Secondly, not sure if it counts as a bug or not… but I was running your 2.9 Version, and after about 3 days of the server running, I woke up the morning after to "Runtime Error: Overflow" and the server wouldnt relaunch properly. Everything would load, but the server was stuck at 0 CPS. I had to restart my computer for the server to work.

Keep it up! Thanks!
