[EO] Paperdoll Drawing Order Fixed

[Robin]

-shrug- It's up to you whether you trust him or not. You've got 5 experienced programmers here saying that his stuff gives your source cancer, however.

[Draken]

well i know some of the stuff he does works :) and hes the only coder that actually wants to help me lol, since i can script a little but cant really hard code much, his work is better then mine and gets somethings needed done :)

Yes the standard had been set low, I'm a prime example. Until I truly looked into EO I was under the impression that scripting was the only way someone without VB6 could do anything with these engines. That if I wanted to change anything with the code i'd better scour the forums hoping someone had fixed it and as long as the subject line had what i was looking for in it then it was what I wanted. After realizing that source code is the best I've changed my view on what is more important and decided learning to code is better than using someone else's fix. If you look at the thing's I"VE posted I rarely accept just a fix, I want to know why or what part was broken. And I'm driving Sir Pent up the wall with it too.  :azn:

Right but that was one example, like Robin said, his other work causes "Source Cancer"

Robin did you even bother to look at my reply like 5 replys up?

[shadowchris]

What is the point of this edit anyway lol. All it does is put the hand behind the weapon. As robin said, it is a bad fix. Tdog, the thing is that people don't want to pay a cost just for a fix that mess up another thing especially if you have to lose your account.

All fixes would end needing a wipe I believe.

Not really. Graphics are 100% client side. It's a bit more work, but a custom blitting order can be set up without touching any enumerations or messing with the server at all. This was a quick way to try to switch them up, when really the best way is to just take the time to remove the old blitting order, and code in a new one.

[Robin]

Locking this and removing the code.

It's pointless and dangerous.

The next release will have an easily editable render order.
