jcsnider Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Easy enough to fix… no one reports these things... in using the system for 10 mins tonight I found 8 bugs most of which would probably have gone unnoticed but this thing is gonna be completely bug free here shortly.

Stein Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well, I have that with my own systems as well. I've been fixing some pretty darn obvious bugs a few times nobody cared to report.I think the main issue is that most people either:A) Don't want to spend time ripping/modifying their existing game clients with changes.B) They're still used to using dreadfully buggy engines and go along with it instead of striving to make things better.C) They don't actually produce anything or never care to use half the features something offers.

totalwar235 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I posted this on the Eclipse dawn thread but I also wanted to post it here, when i try to open a shop through an event nothing happens. its like the button is disabled. you could also add a command that will spawn an npc through the event editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcsnider Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Alright guys, here is version 2.3 :D… this is a huge update so bear with me...First, thanks to the help of kibbelz, we have a new demo world. This new demo includes some actual game play with weapons/npcs/resources etc where the whole focus of the game is to learn what Eclipse can do and how powerful it actually is. For most of you, this little demo will contain almost nothing new because it is targeted towards newer users but it is fun either way.Here are screenshots :D>! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >! >!  And of course, the download link.[Eclipse Event System 2.3](http://www.jcsnider.freemmorpgmaker.com/Eclipse)Sorry, there is no tutorial this time, I simply made too many modifications to keep track of. On top of those I added in almost every bug fix for EO 2.0 found in Justin's script database. (Thanks Justin!) If you are desperate and need to copy the edits to your system, you can download software and simply compare your current source to this new one for the edits.

Joost Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Depending on the reasons you're doing this it may be wise to create a compiled newb-friendly version. There're a lot more people interested in a functioning ORPG engine than some VB-project. I wouldn't suggest doing this in the current state, but considering that closed-source engines have always been more popular than opensource engines (dont ask me why, konfuze/PW compared to ES/MS as reference) it might be cool to focus a bit on that in the future.If you're just trying to add sick features I wouldn't bother w/ it though.

jcsnider Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 My goal is making this stable I am currently not planning on new features… Besides, Eclipse license prevents a custom version from being released without source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkro1 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hmm, I seem to get alot 'Invalid prodecure call or argument' errors at:```Set Segment = Loader.LoadSegment(App.Path & MUSIC_PATH & fileName)```Which is obvious related to the sound.I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this but you might wanna check this out.

jcsnider Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 I DID change the map rec… If you are using new maps then that maybe what is causing the issue..... one second and I will create a converter haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcsnider Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ok, replace your error handler with this (at the bottom of that sub)… and tell me what error it gives you when you turn music on.```errorhandler: If InGame Then HandleError "PlayMidi - Ingame = True - Map#= " & Player(MyIndex).Map & " - Filename = " & fileName, "modSound", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext Else HandleError "PlayMidi - Ingame = False - Filename = " & fileName, "modSound", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext End If Err.Clear Exit Sub``` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiron Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hey Jcsnider. I'm a huge fan of your revolutionary work. Just a quick question, however. Would it not be extremely awesome if there was such a thing as an instance generator (Or, in a sense, common events)? As in, an event editor option in the admin panel that allows you to edit events which can be used more than once. Maybe on use of a weapon, or if a piece of armour is equipped? Maybe on use it can spawn the event onto the map? IE. If a player uses a shovel, it will dig a hole into the ground (Spawn an event) which upon interacting with it, will allow the player to place seeds (Conditional branch which checks if the player has a specific seed) which eventually grow into plants (Harvest-able). Or maybe if the player uses an item "Warp gate", it will teleport them to a specific map. Maybe a summon item which will summon an event like a wall, or a mount (Like a horse!). I mean, those may sound quite complex, but I'm generally saying it would be nice to have an instance of an event made with your system to be generated with items and weapons.

jcsnider Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 The way the system is made, it would not be easy for a common event system to be added in. However, in the future it maybe something to look in to.-snip-I believe that the sound issues are coming from an error where the filenames were too long. If you simply re-download, I have changed the filenames a little and it should fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
