Eclipse Origins v2 Beta

[Robin]

No, I just didn't have anything equipped which was affecting my stats.

Will there be a level requirement for items, Robin? (or is there already one? I don't remember there being one in the old EO)

There's always been a level requirement. >_>

[mrmiguu]

Alright. I think I do remember now (excuse my laziness).

[Robin]

Made it so you can write up item & spell descriptions in the editors. Made a new GUI for the tooltip.

Change log so far. Keep in mind if something is small I still don't bother to add it in.

I'm likin' this new change log. What is the 'random tile placement' thing?

[Robin]

You can select up to four different tiles into a collection. When you place a tile on the map, it'll randomly select from these four and place one of them. Same when you use the 'Fill' function.

It's for allowing you to randomise between several different ground tiles without having to do it manually.

[mrmiguu]

That sounds cool. Will the 'fill' feature be in there as well?

[Robin]

There's already a fill feature. >_>

This bug fixes is kinda shaking me up. I started a game project and now im thinking twice about it. T_T

[Robin]

It said quite clearly on the front page that it was an alpha release.

Will the map.dat files and the Accounts from the previous verison of Origins still be compatible with 1.2?

[Robin]

lolno.

[azure]

How many times in this thread has that been said? Out of curiosity, why are you removing npc vs npc?

@Azure:

Because it didn't serve a purpose. I made it waay back during the original development purely to see how fast I could do it. In the end it turned out to be a 30 minute job and I never took it anywhere.

I'll re-add it when I get to the point where I've actually developed the system into something useful.

[Robin]

hotbarlol.

Don't worry, once its released I'll write up another Account Editor handling the new account UDT.

[Guest]

Lol this is epic update.Nice work Robin!

There's only a few subtle differences. Inclusion of hotbar etc. It's very simple to change your editor.

Thats ok. I'll just pull together a compiled version for the users that don't own VB6\. When it's released, just send me a PM with the changes or just to tell me when it has been released.

[Robin]

Or you can just come back into this thread once it's been released.
