2 Questions

[Mixitrion]

1.) Why does it says this when i try to add Points to a certain Stat:

2.)The Max Experience that a NPC can give(Well at least that's that mine says) is "32767", How can i make that greater? to be like "100000"?

Any Help?Did i make Myself Clear?XD

1) I think you can set the maximum stats in Data.ini or something.

2) You have to edit the source and change Integer to Long in NpcRec where it handles the experience.

I Didn't understand 2

You're going to need Visual Basic 6\. Then go into the client/server source and find Type NpcRec. It should say Experience As Integer, change it to Experience As Long. After you do that go the the client frmNpcEditor and change the Experience scroll bar to whatever number you want (below a certain limit, but that's more than 2 million).

[Mixitrion]

If TypeNpcRec is a file, I cant find it
but I can find a "modTypes.bas" file in my Client->Source folder. and I looked for NpcRec and this is what I found:

>! 
And the "EXP" is set as "As Long"

Now when I go to frmNpcEditor and look for "Experience" this pops up:

>! 

But when I look for Scroll, theres one called "Begin VB.HScrollBar ExpGive", and I edit it like this:

>! 

But when I open up the "Edit NPCs" in my game (By pressing F1) it keeps saying this:

>! 

It Didn't Change

I'm on ES

[Ruins of Hell]

You need Visual Basic 6, editing with Notepad or any other plain text editors won't work.

[Mixitrion]

Im Using "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010"

[Ruins of Hell]

That won't work. Only a Visual Basic 6 Enterprise or Professionial version will work.

There is a lot that has changed, Visual Studio 2010 uses the .NET framework, which VB6.0 does not, and there are tuns of other changes.

what i meant by that is that what is going to be the difference if i edit those files with VB6?

[Mixitrion]

Ok guys i have VB6! can someone explain to me more detailed?

[Mr.Man03053ÃâžÂ]

Im not currently fluent in Visual Basic 6, but according to what Soul had said, You have to edit the source (open it with VB6) and change Integer(Im guessing find that file..) to Long in NpcRec where it handles the experience. Id suggest expirmenting with the files he named and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

[Jeff]

find the part where in NpcRec where it says dim experience as integer.  change integer to long.

Thats how i have it

[Jeff]

did you compile it?

[Mixitrion]

What?did i do what?

[blackkat9666]

Go on file then "make client" that compiles it.

[Mixitrion]

and where is that located?im using ES

[blackkat9666]

When you have vb6 opened, when you modify something and finished modifying, go on "file" then "make client.exe". That is compiling.

[Akselj]

But you need to be in the project file, editing the files one by one won't work.

[Mixitrion]

ok i opened the "Eclipse.vbp" that is in "Client" and then edited something, but when i click "make client.exe" it says
"Compile Error:

Variable not Defined"

Any help?

[Akselj]

What text does it mark?

[Mixitrion]

i CLosed it by mistake, now when i try to open the same file it says "The File 'C:\Users\XXXX\desctop\eclipse-stable\client\Eclipse.vbp' is already open" but i dont see it

[Akselj]

Close VB6.exe in Task Manager
