[karpaz]

Hello i have big plan :D i wanna import to eclipse origins DX8 system for png reading items ;) can you any help me ? how can i do it ?

[SolBadguy]

Yep big plan, but stupid plan,it's a waste of time  to upgrade it just to read png files, nobody will help you,maybe only if you PAY.
Who cares about your game? I tell you, nobody !
Neither mine,or anybody else here.
Stop dreaming,if you want to make a cool mmorpg,then learn english,learn or hire a programmer, learn or hire an digital artist.
Sorry dude this is the reality

Everything you said after that was not necessary at all.

As for converting to DX8, it's not wise to convert it just to be able to read png files, as having DX8 will change a lot more than that. There are ways to have .png without all that work, just search on Google.

You're approaching this all wrong. Having transparency, fogs, and a smoother looking game doesn't mean anyone will play it.

Features don't make the game, you do.

EO is just fine, and DX8 is a bit tough to understand especially if you're new to this. You can give CS:DE a try but I'm sure you'll find yourself back at using EO very quickly. People will help you if you show promise, and give them a reason to.

Ok ;) i started with CS:DE but iam like if i find origins :D but design from cs is better ;) but i cant change few items .. news.. credits and more .. ok  its completed … i train on origins .. and wait for origins update ;)

.png files are high tech in comparison with VB6, the most high quality image file you can get with DirectX 7 is probably bitmap, just saying though, animated tiles, autotiles, chat bubbles, and transparencies are capable in dx7, just look at ES or EE and enhance code. Transparencies you'll find in custom versions, just copy their procedures, also, I've noticed dx8 causes an automaton error, so stick with dx7.

A ton of my games' graphics were all originally PNG's, I just converted them to bitmaps via GIMP to work, as I only put them in as I need them (or what them really badly…)
