Map Tile Animations (Client does all the work)

[Zopto]

nice i like it wery simple and wery usefull BRAWO!

[Growlith1223]

now you should make it for dx8 since no one uses dx8 most likely now

[Murdoc]

Would this work with eo 3.0?

nop it use dx7 to show animation if you went it for e.o 3.0 you need to chage code…

~~Got an Overflow error ???~~
Nevermind has nothing to do with this tutorial here

Lol I got the same error when I tried to add my weather system which works.. I had sent a pm to the author of this tutorial then realized it was something with the new png tutorial and my weather system not liking it

Ok, so I know this is for EO2.3, but I would love to get this into EO3.0

I seem to have butchered the code a bit but got it working without errors. The issue I have is it never seems to fire the Render code. I have:

```
        If GetTickCount Mod 1000 < 500 Then
            ' skip tile?
            If (.Layer(MapLayer.MaskAnim).Tileset > 0 And .Layer(MapLayer.MaskAnim).Tileset <= NumTileSets) And (.Layer(MapLayer.MaskAnim).x > 0 Or .Layer(MapLayer.MaskAnim).y > 0) Then
              If Autotile(x, y).Layer(i).renderState = RENDER_STATE_NORMAL Then
                    ' Draw normally
                    RenderTexture Tex_Tileset(.Layer(i).Tileset), ConvertMapX(x * PIC_X), ConvertMapY(y * PIC_Y), .Layer(i).x * 32, .Layer(i).y * 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, -1
                ElseIf Autotile(x, y).Layer(i).renderState = RENDER_STATE_AUTOTILE Then
                    ' Draw autotiles
                    DrawAutoTile i, ConvertMapX(x * PIC_X), ConvertMapY(y * PIC_Y), 1, x, y
                    DrawAutoTile i, ConvertMapX((x * PIC_X) + 16), ConvertMapY(y * PIC_Y), 2, x, y
                    DrawAutoTile i, ConvertMapX(x * PIC_X), ConvertMapY((y * PIC_Y) + 16), 3, x, y
                    DrawAutoTile i, ConvertMapX((x * PIC_X) + 16), ConvertMapY((y * PIC_Y) + 16), 4, x, y
                End If
            End If

```
I kinda butchered the standard rendering code from above. The issue is, it gets to the bolded IF and the RenderState always = 0 instead of 1.
**If Autotile(x, y).Layer(i).renderState = RENDER_STATE_NORMAL Then**

Ok I have somehow got it working!

I had to alter the "RenderTexture" line, and get rid of the "autotile" check.

[Joyce]

You shouldn't have to remove the autotile check, since it's still there in EO3.0, just need to change the rendering procedure and calls really.

[TorenRenne]

Indeed, it should have no bearing on the situation, however it does. It was never triggering the IF clause and therefore kept skipping it over.

Is there any other system like this or similar

that -does- work for eclipse origins 3.0 (nightly) dx8?

[SpiceyWolf]

On ur issue of needing to delete all of your maps… its REALLY simple and in the past i was angry when i found out how simple it was and people made it out to be confusing and hard...

Anyway There is a save map and load map sub...

Whatever changes you are making make sure they appear in the SAVE map

and not the load map sub...

then run your server... it will convert all the maps for you... then after all ur maps are

saved, go back in the source and make the same change to the LOAD map.

Now it will function properly and all your maps are converted.

 happy playin

All you need to do is alter the code provided. Instead of placing this in modDirectDraw7, place it in the new location DX8 uses and then adjust the Rendering code.

Thanks for the tutorial Link, works good for me on EO 2.0.. Had to convert maps though, great job nonetheless. 

[WiseRock]

Some reason I don't Understand how to convert any help please?

[hectormousa]

i can't add that to EO3.0 help please
