Sorry. Excuse my ignorance.

^ Miguu I beleive this was the said quote.

[jcsnider]

Yes Keebler Elf, and Minguu… that was the quote I was referring to ^^.

@Miguu:

> Sorry. Excuse my ignorance.

I wasn't correcting you for the sake of correcting you. I was just pointing out that re-writing it in .NET will bypass the problem, as he won't be using the same implementation.

[jcsnider]

No it is not the same but it is pretty damn close I must say. I do not believe this one will have the error.

[Robin]

Well the error can be fixed by simply typing in 2 words in the appropriate place. (If I'm thinking about the right one).

I don't see it causing any real problems.

I see project is moving fast. That's good hope to see it out very soon.

We shall see when Saturday comes when I start asking about upates. I told him I'd ask him about updates once a week and that is on saturday.

[jcsnider]

Not going to be as many updates this week XD. I think I have strep throat… I feel like shit.

[wardy484]

Awwwww! :(  Hope ya get better I can't wait to see eclipse in .net

[jcsnider]

Alright here is another screenshot showing off a little of the NPC system


[VitinhooxD]

Looks great

[mrmiguu]

How many NPCs will it support? Same system as [EO]'s?

[jcsnider]

Yes sir. 30 per map. Although it wouldn't be too much trouble to add more as long as you have simple experience with vb.net OR vb6\.

[AeroEBrown]

What did you use for graphics?

Thanks,
Aero/EBrown

[jcsnider]

The graphics system is GDI+… it is default in vb.net and is used to display forms and stuff. The sprites are from a friend and are not to be used and any eclipse games. I am only using them for testing purposes and will remove them before release ;)

[AeroEBrown]

I was just wondering what GFX engine you used. I was considering OpenGL or DirectX for my C++ one. (Possibly both, and allow Windows users to switch from OpenGL to DirectX.)

Thanks,
Aero/EBrown

Just use one or the other not both. If you are only intending for your stuff to be for windows users, then use dX. (I don't have the right post to cite that comment, but it's around here somewhere.)

[Robin]

Most engines allow you to use OpenGL or DirectX.

OpenGL is throttled by Windows.

[chuchoide]

Looking very good.

[jcsnider]

Managed DirectX is no longer supported in vb.net. So with EO.Net my only real option is OpenGL if I were to switch but for now, GDI+ is offering good enough speed for a public release but a switch to OpenGL when I learn more about it could be a soon-to-follow update.

[Robin]

Who the hell actually uses Microsoft's 'managed' systems? xD

Just use the unmanaged DX9 library.

Inorite?

Yeah, I Knew OpenGL was throttled by Windows. (Thanks Stephan! :) )

Well, I plan to allow it in Linux/Unix/OS X and Windows, which is why I plan to AT LEAST use OpenGL. It's also why I picked C++. :) Not VC++ btw. C++.

I'll start a topic about it later. (Once I get more stuff around. Lots of work to do. :) )

Thanks,

I will look into that too. I haven't done too much research XD

Aero/EBrown That's a fair enough reason.
