Sounds great :azn:

[Bafoon]

Awesome, looks brilliant. Still missing a guild system, eh?

[crzyone9584]

This is just the basics. Movement, mapping, skills, items, etc. It will most likely won't get any added features until:

1\. You add them yourself once its publicly released
2\. People make tutorials on how to add things.
3\. I just wanted a number 3.

[Bafoon]

A guild system is pretty basic…

I'd say if you can't program, don't use it.

In what world is it basic? Yes it is a nice feature to already have but when I say the basics I mean the bare minimal things that are needed for this engine to work.

Read the above quote. That is one wise man right there. ^_^ :renzo:

wow people are spoilt these days.

I remember the good old days of konfuse and PW. When people were happy that the map editor worked.

Sounds like you've got nostalgia goggles on. Kael and Sean got as many spoilt kids as you get now-a-days.

[wardy484]

Yeah I guess but I used to love the old engines they always seemed so much more reliable. Even though they had less features.

[DshWinchester]

well..
I try vb2008 and run a litle slow ;s

Maybe a vbNet game is slower than a vb6game? or is the same speed :renzo:

[VitinhooxD]

I think vb.net is slower.

nope, the inverse.

It is probably the implementation of them.

It depends. It can be MUCH faster.

With what? You would need to use the exact same program if you want to compare. But running Eclipse VS. a PoS halfway-thought-out program you wrote half of and abandoned, will be a difference.

Yay now there will be no more games with huge files! PNG SUPPORT FTW

Enough discussion about .NET in here. We've had so many of these discussions it's not even funny.

It's obvious that most of you are just basing your posts on idle thought and your own opinion about what .NET _should_ be. 9 times out of 10 you're wrong.

Go read up on the language and actually learn the differences before throwing around wild accusations and pretending you know what's what. You're all just making yourselves look like fucking idiots.

This topic is a discussion of Eclipse.NET, not VB.NET. Next person to fire up that argument again will start getting some hefty warnings, and as most of the idiots posting here already have 40%+ warning level, that'll result in some mutes.

[jcsnider]

Alright I have made some progress today. Appearntly the sockets I am using just don't like to send map resources :D. Once I removed the line of code… it worked o.O.

I am going to fix this little issues and then continue with my compatibility testing of win2000 and xp. I foresee a few more bugs but nothing too major I can hope.

[AeroEBrown]

Keep it up. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks,

Also a little change. As long as the server that is hosting the game is connected to the internet the Eo.net server will connect to this forum and return the REAL Ip of the server to the host. This way it eliminates some people from trying to use local ip addresses.

[Takeshi]

So how much better is this?

I much rather use vb.net

Does that mean that if you (the host) disconnect the server will still be up?

No, that's not even possible.

(E.g. if you try setting the IP as 127.0.0.1, it will **correct** you by entering in your IP from ipchicken.com)

[jcsnider]

No. To determine your REAL ip address you either…
1\. Check the settings of your router.
2\. Go to a website such as www.ipchicken.com
3\. Have a computer connected directly to the internet. (Not likely)

So what I am saying is that when the Eo.Net server starts it will connect to this forum and this forum will tell it it's REAL Ip so the server will display the correct IP address that you should be giving out to your friends versus a local IP which dosn't work.

However if you server does not have internet connection at all, this will not work and the server will default into giving a local ip. (If the server does not have an internet connection then I doubt your gonna share you game anyway :D)

Fixed your link. Doesn't have a hyphen in it.
