[EO] Map compatability?

[k0rn]

im sorrry im asking this but will my old maps work? im assuming yes cuz theyre all .dat. Im transporting from Stable. And also i do know some VB so we wont need to learn to program(me and my team)

No they won't. Eclipse Origins is not based on an Eclipse release, it's based on a Mirage release (basically what Eclipse was originally based off).

Actually … when I release the podcast later today on the RSS feed, Robin does talk about how EO will work with previous versions. Just another reason to listen to the Eclipse Podcast. ;D

It's not in yet though.

No, I say that I'm creating a converter. Read the post where I talk about features for 1.0.3 above. xD

did you take my suggestion of wher eyou move on a certain layer (attribute, change layer then choose what layer you see above or below you.)

when do you expect to release the next update?

No.

And I have no idea. Whenever I get time to program.

SHADERS, it's not a good idea because don't even take into account collisions, or the rendering system… it'd be easier to just combine multiple maps and having the "above" location be a seperate map that draws the connecting maps in real-time (which isn't easy either).

dude, convert your save/load methods to parsing byte arrays. Therefore you will not have to worry about compatibility in future versions.

its not hard

So basically, my friend will freak if I switch to EO just like he did with EE because of map compatibility.

[Robin]

Then your friend should shut up.
