irJake Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is there any way to change the title of the client from "Eclipse Origins" to something else? Thanks (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigboss Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ya. Change the name from the icon and change everything that says "eclipse origin" in the client.vb using vb6:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Ignore these other people, they're idiots.**Server:** options.ini**Client:** modConstants -> GAME_NAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oioi, it still says Origins even if you change the game name. Sometimes theres no caption at all on the game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "Eclipse Origins" doesn't exist apart from in the constant GAME_NAME. None of the form captions exist as they're set to GAME_NAME on startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Robin: (or anyone else)I have edited (in EO) the options.ini file, the modConstants.bas file (server/client)And any other file with even the slightest hint of the name "Eclipse", yet it still showsup in the top left corner of the game screen when you start it. It shows up while onthe main menu,and when you login to the game and are now on a map. All of the names are the same, in bothclient and sever files, They all have the same exact name.Would you mind explaining how it is, that it still shows up? Or do I really have to boot up a .isoof Vb6 and reinstall it?I was under the impression I could just use Notepad(or Notepad++) to edit the files (As mostof the editing I've done in Notepad has taken effect)-Viral.

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Try changing it from the project properties, Project > Properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I don't have VB6 installed anymore. I still have the .iso and what not, butI guess it's not possible to change it via notepad at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No it isn't, you prety much need VB for anything related to Origins so you might aswell install it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well I reinstalled it. I opened up VB6, clicked "open project", tried loading the project client.vbpI got a bunch of errors (in a .log file if you want it), after which let me play around with it normally.So I went to "project -> properties", I didn't see anything about Eclipse in there. And If I tried tochange something it gave me the error of "Invalid name" or something or other. Keep in mind thoughI did edit it through notepad the first time around.-Viral.

Robin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The new version has changed. You change the GAME_NAME in 'config.ini' in the Data Files folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Robin:In both 1.3.1 and 4.0 of EO, in either config.ini there is noGAME_NAME variable. Just IP port Uname, Passwd, Music, MenuMusic, Sound DebugShould I edit the config.ini file (of either one) and insert GAME_NAME='' and save it?-Viral.

Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ok, done so. And perhaps I messed up because, here's what I did after.Instead of doing the smarter thing and re-adding tile sets and what notto the new server, what I did instead was took the update files, and copy pastedthem to the dir of my current one, replacing all the files but leaving the addedones alone. I did the same for client. I also edited mod constants and config.inioptions.ini to have my game's name in it. And it does. Yet, it still shows up as EOWhy is this?-Viral.

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Because you might've copied over the old config.ini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I did yes. I thought it was needed.-Viral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Delete everything. Download a fresh copy of 1.4.0.Add your game's name in the config.ini.Stop overcomplicating things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Lol yeah I guess I kinda was. New problem.Your website still shows up. I'm all for credit but if somewhere to haveproblems with my game, I don't think they should be coming here to complainas no one will care. Lol.I changed the GAME_WEBSITE in notepad, because if I do it in vb6 it'll ask me to save it overthe current project as "project 1".//I'm not exactly the most proficient in VB-Viral.

Robin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Really? Not the most proficient?You're not using the IDE and you're not re-compiling the damn thing. What do you expect? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Dragon Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Even after recompiling it, it still shows up as your website.How I tested it. I closed the server an tried to login.Want a video?Side Note: I love xjapan. I'm glad you got a .mid file of this.-Viral.Edit: I just tried deleting the entire element altogether. It still shows upeven if I restart the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
