Its just the point of those extra graphics and shit not being needed.

Wow, this is simply extraordinary; the ability to create events just as I would in RPG Maker, but in Eclipse is just - awesome. I had two questions though: 1\. What exactly does it mean if an event is global? I think I might know this one though. Does it make it so that the event happens to everyone, rather than just you? This could be useful for cinematics and whatnot. And 2\. When may we expect a stable version of the Eclipse Event System? Thank you, and superb work on this, it brought me back to Eclipse for good!

This version is quite stable… as for the stable 3.1 release.. no idea...

Global means the events will be in the same position for each player.. so it is cool for shopkeepers and such.

First: I love this system!
Second:
I have an question:
What part of files I must delete to remove all event data? I know about maps and their "_eventdata" subfiles, the accounts files is needed too?
simpy: Where are stored the event data?

[jcsnider]

All event data is stored in the Map/Map#_Eventdata.dat files… if you simply wanna wipe all events from your game you delete those. If you wanna delete the map (as in the tiles/attributes/warps/etc...) then you delete the Map#.dat...

Each of the folders are consistent with it's contents so simply delete the files you wanna wipe in your game... the server will re-create them but blank for you to edit however you like.

Jc You know the converter you used to convert Images to Png and transparency ect. It says "error" for me. Please Help.

[jcsnider]

I threw it together in 2-3 minutes… I was surprised that it worked at all. Sorry but it is not something that I support... the only thing I can recommend is that you are giving the correct path and such along with having a solid .Net 4.0 framework installed.

[tylerash98]

Meh … I've come across a really annoying error. If I put in a custom .wav for spell sound effects, I get a runtime error 5 and the client crashes when I cast the spell. Any ideas?

[Notsu]

My problem is when I try to make an event based on player variables it's not working, always shows the last event page with no include the variables values.
For example my event looks like this:

> Page 1:
> If player variable "1\. Name" is equal to 0 then
> @>Show text: "exampletext1"
> @>Set player variable "1\. Name" to 1
>
> Page 2:
> If player variable "1\. Name" is equal to 1 then
> @>Show text: "exampletext2"

So it should for first hit(trigger is set to action button) show the "exampletext1", if hitted next time "exampletext2" but for me it showing always the "exampletext2" - the last page of event. When i try to make more pages in every config it still shows the last page(if it's based on player variables).

I'm doing it on fresh copy downloaded 22.06.12.

I hope You'll understand me. :)

[jcsnider]

Would you mind trying to download the latest Nightly Release and see if this problem still exists there?

@jcsnider, I used it with set player variable option and it works fine on Your nightly release.
But I prefer DX7 version because of my crashed graphic card and the retro style of game what am working on, I'll try to rip it from 3.0 to my 2.3v but am not very skilled in vb so can I hope You'll help me? / or just explain what part of code You changed in those section.

[Ryo]

hello can you please post the code source of the converter for learning purposes ??
thank you!

@Ryo:

Nope. That program is massive… I use it for tons of different conversions, file renamings, etc....
I simply made the startup wizard for that one specific release.
Sorry.

Whilst fiddling around with the amazing features i found out an error:

example:
make a map 30by30
place an event on the tile 25x25
save the map
go back into the map editor and set the map dimensions 14by11
save the map, the event causes the server to crash when it tries to move.

For now I tried to make(v2.3) it on one page based on conditional branch and it's works but still I don't know where the problem are based.
sorry for lang but am writing from phone.

[iraniel]

how use images .png that don't have transparent

[Zetasis]

iraniel, the questions you have you should ask in the questions board. Either that or use google.

[DJMaxus]

Eclipse has certainly come a long way, bravo jcsnider.

[sebacame1]

I am having a problem here… when i try to enter the game it crashes.... here is a screenshot, i dont know if you can help me out or fix this bug :/


[abhi2011]

Run it through the IDE and show the lines it highlights when debug is pressed

[Sy-Man]

Hi there I'm Sy-Man from the German corner…

I think this Event System Stuff sounds very good. But I have a Question about that. I've seen that the progress of the events are only visible for that player who hase klicked them. If I am right I see the problem of playing together in this way. NPCs and other player are walking throu walls and stuff like that...
