Thank you good sir.

[HappyBoy]

Robin… WHY CAN'T I CLICK THANKS?! :p

[shadowwulf]

click what? please dont ask random questions.

[HappyBoy]

Dude, is this the only forum u're on? -.-

Many forums have a thanking system…
If someone does something good in ur opinion, u click thanks and others can see his thanks-rating (just how many times he got thanked)

[shadowwulf]

no… everytime this forum puts something like that up.. it gets out of control and becomes completely useless. Just post a thanks. Besides... we don't want Robin getting a big head. :p JK, he's doing awesome and we all tell him so.

[azure]

With the quality of work he does, I'm shocked he can even fit in his on room. XD I swear it gets larger with every release.

[shadowwulf]

and by 'it' you mean? Fwahahahahaha

[azure]

Really should have quoted you. Why his ~~wo~~manhood of course. :)

Robin:Do you believe there will be further map breaking updates after 1.0.4?

[Joyce]

As soon as he adds animated attributes and maybe some other ones there'll be more broken maps. ;D

Converters. Make your own. :p

Also, animated tiles came in MS4, why were they removed?

[balliztik1]

Because Robin's will be better, of course. ;D

[Joyce]

Because rendering four layers on a timer is just.. Well, way more resource intensive then Robin's fancy animation system? And two frame animations look horrible. ;D

[Helladen]

How can you make a animated tile better? D:

@Yam: I see…

@Helladen:

Woah sparky. I only asked to clarify for the masses wether or not the newbs should bother mapping out their games or not. There is no sense in making converters when even if he believes he wont change anythign else map-wise… the posibility is still there.

And your second statement makes it obvious you havent been following EO very closely. Robin didnt just clean up MS/EE.. he wrote an engine using EE as a reference(probably for what to NOT do! XD).

[azure]

He did say not to map earlier, also from what I remember the next release is 1.1.0\.

[Helladen]

I know he wrote EO from MS4 and he used EE as a reference. :p

I know for a fact that there will be map breaking updates in the future.

@Helladen:

> How can you make a animated tile better? D:

By allowing people to place dynamic animations created using the editor I made. In theory you can have an animation on the map with hundreds of frames of animation.

@Helladen:

> I know he wrote EO from MS4 and he used EE as a reference. :p

I really didn't use EE as a reference. I don't even have a copy of any version of Eclipse on my computer.

I don't care what's in EE nor do I want to emulate anything in it. Everything I create is because I see it as a requirement for an ORPG. EE is a waste of space and I don't want it corrupting EO.

[Helladen]

I was just repeating what the person above me said. xD

Your engine reminds me of playerworlds/xtremeworlds, that's one of the reasons I love it.

[Joyce]

> playerworlds/xtremeworlds

Those engines make me cry..

[Robin]

Well I did work on Playerworlds for a while.

Xtremeworlds though… no. The only decent parts of that are the bits Bradyok paid Tyler to add in.

[Helladen]

I was just using it as a reference. XD

Playerworlds wasn't even playable, I tried for hours trying to get it to work. Lol.
