Yes they do, if you even bothered to test them you could of figured it out.
I tested it not so long ago, and found out Will helps recovering the Mp faster and Spr adds the Speed of your character. I tested it with V1.0.2, but I don't think it changed with V1.0.3\.

Or get good at programming and design and make them do what you want. ;)

Okay right I have this downloaded and as I have a no-ip I used it. It then said that it is not a valid IP what should I do?

[Robin]

Remove the ValidIP check.

Where i can find table exp? i want change it

The Experience is based on a formula in the server source, in the GetPlayerNextLevel Function.

How to change frmMainGame width?

Ok I known. It's there:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    picAdmin.Left = 10
    picDrop.Left = txtMyChat.Left
    picDrop.Top = txtMyChat.Top
    Me.width = 10545
End Sub

Updated the first post.

It had far too much information and was hard to read. Also, people weren't seeing the important bits.

Removed a large portion of the stuff on there. The change log can still be found in each download of Origins. I'll update the feature list with screenshots as and when I get time.

Also, added some nice little screenshots as the full-size ones were simply a waste of space.

As part of the EC team, which uses Origins, I must say that I'm really loving it thus far. It's by far the most stable release of Eclipse, and very fast. In fact, Kreator and I have complained about maps loading _too_ fast at times. The editors are clean and simple, and most anything can be edited from inside the game. The days of the server host being the only one to be able to set important things like map sizes are over.

The dynamic-ness of EO is great. Sprites are individually sized. Maps are individually sized. Paperdoll is individually sized. Spells are individually sized. There's very little holding you to one certain format. On top of this, the source code is very neat, and making edits is much simpler than in past versions, due to the lessened clutter of buggy systems and half-made features. Origins is optimized and streamlined and once enough people start making edits, there's no doubt that Origins will be the engine to use.

i totally agree with Ballie, this is by far the best engine out there.

Guess its time to take down Stable :p

no need to keep a redundant old engine around when something better is here :)

just hope its like… done soon, think im moving my game over.

Have you by chance fixed the NPC spawning bug Kreator pointed out? Other than that everything looks great. EO will no doubt take over as the best engine to use.

You can't take down stable. Eclipse needs an Engine that uses scripting and isn't as buggy as EE. Stable and Origins are two different Engines, one isn't better than the other.

[damian666]

didnt mean like totally remove it xD

just stop working on it, I know when im defeated ya know :)

Damian666

PS, tahts the one thing i personally think is missing from this engine, the scripting, everything else pawns xd

[crzyone9584]

Since there is no scripting language in EO (not a great vb6 programmer to add one in), how would you suggest a team go about building and editing the source? Once person compiles and everyone just submit code to them to add into the source or is there a better way?

[Robin]

If you can script, you can program.

Simply copy & paste a script into VB6 and it'll work. >_>

[crzyone9584]

I never new sadscript was that close to vb6\. Thats really good know. I might end up switching to EO. I like the features a lot more than ES.

[damian666]

true, its the same fucking language xD

but it is just easyer for some, i dont know why, i do know for myself, i like the ease of opening the ingame script editor, fixing some stuff and reload the script.

guess im just a lazy bastard xD

Sadscript is just a name for the wrapper someone created for the Microsoft script control a few years ago.

The scripts you write are VB6, just within a restricted environment and without all the stuff that make VB6 good. xD

I am no programmer but I don't think it is exactly that easy. I could always be wrong though. Like I said, I am no programmer.

Of course it's that easy. I wouldn't say it otherwise.

[damian666]

95 % or more will work just like that man, sure, maybe some dim errors, but script itself will work just fine.

anyway, a bit offtopic I think, EO is the best engine out there, period.

Damian666

lolol, robin beat me to it xD

[crzyone9584]

Thats great to know. Then i guess its time to sit down and look into where all the things are that went from scripts into just the pure ownage EO. So i know where to put the things that had a specific script it went into. Shouldn't be hard as long as everything is commented in the source.

I agree damian, scripts are a tad easier for your able to reload the scripts and everything works. You have to push out updates with the source code being edited. Which is fine. I'll just make my updater work in the back round and haave it update the files as the players play unless the exe needs to be replaced.

Eh, to a point. I'm just explaining why EO doesn't have a scripting engine.

As I see it, a system which lowers the server speed by 800% just so people can be lazy with their programming is _not_ something I want in my engine.

If you're too lazy to learn to use an engine properly, you're too lazy to make a game.

The only possibly legitimate use a scripting engine would have in Origins would be some sort of system where each event is unique. A quest system, for example.

[damian666]

hehehe< not to be a ass or something…

what about a quest system for EO? :p

no but seriously, i do get where ya coming from, and wtf, a 800% drop? no way...

seriously? O.o
