Medleyy Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I heard there was a CS:DE forum and it made me think, will we get access to it or will there be a seperate board for CS:DE users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkro1 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Robin told about it, but I can't see it in in the Crystalshire forums.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The CS:DE forum on Crystalshire was so I could easily control who could and could not receive support through the use of usergroups. If someone was causing problems I can cut off all support.If you want support then post on this forum and properly tag your threads. Keep in mind that you will not be able to use this engine without solid understanding of EO and DX8\. You'll need to study the source code properly before you start modifying it.There's a reason I never released DX8 publicly. It takes a _lot_ of effort to handle it properly.

CS:DE seems perfect to me, I don't see any reason to change the source at all. Is it fine to use out of the box or will I need to modify anything?

Medleyy Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Crystalshire's got the best GUI around TBH. I'd probably just re-skin it, 'cause the original looks too much like Origins. I doubt you need to modify the source to change the GUI images..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie93 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 No, you modify the images through a folder.What Skull Kid means is that you need DX8 knowledge to move the UI around; the layout.The UI is arranged with X and Y coordinates, and you need DX8 knowledge to move it around.

Medleyy Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I thought so. Robin's engine _seems_ pretty simple to use if you're not mucking about with the source at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rithy58 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 @Aeri:> …How so..?Have you "tried" using the engine?A lot of the cool stuff are hard-coded into the source. To use it, you'll need to edit the source.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yes, I have. I was asking why everyone seems to think that using CS:DE will be a giant mind duck.Like Robin said in the read me file, there's several features with no front end. Since Robin's pretty much the only one who knows everything there is to know about the engine, could you tell us what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunku Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 @Aeri:> Yes, I have.
