Hey Robin, awesome changelog! ;D
But I have a question, are you planning on adding the Animations to Maps that you've talked a few weeks ago to this release?

I don't understand, what is a mother?  :huh:

What's so funny about that!  ;D

EO.NET is pretty outdated now, and since it never really got done it's pretty useless. Unless you've time to fix the bugs ofc.

Nice features, Robin. Keep up the good work!

[Robin]

EO.NET was cheaply thrown together without actually taking advantage of things in .NET.

Using GDI+ for a graphics engine is stupid, as well.

Nice work! :)

[Robin]

Added spell descriptions.


[Smallbro]

Soooo excited!!!!

[Qazek]

It's gonna be in new version? xD

> It's gonna be in new version? xD

Obviously.

[Soroki]

Robin, forgive me if this has been asked but I'm on a 3G connection tethered from a phone here right now and cannot go through 117 pages of forum posts, but is it possible for you to make text boxes allow more characters in the editors? "Tome of Glacial Freeze" does not fit in the item name box, as an example. It's been a problem I've had with Eclipse for a while, not having enough room for a name to fit in text fields.

[Robin]

Sure. Just change NAME_LENGTH then delete all your game data.

[Soroki]

Hadn't really started anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem. I'm not much of a VB programmer. Too focused on college required languages like Java. Pardon my stupidity xD

Robin As always if you come with overcoming their projects
one of them was the origins Eclipse 1.1.0 I hope that Eclipse 1.2.0 Origins teva suseço more than the old version
You have done Keep it up ^ ^

[Magnata550]

Robin a question This new version of Eclipse Origins Sera with the source code open and free ?  ;D

[Robin]

Origins will always be open-source.

[Guest]

So how will players know the requirements and shiz?

@Sekaru:

> So how will players know the requirements and shiz?

wat

[Guest]

You made a spell description window with only a description, where will the other requirements and stuff go?

[Robin]

… in the description?

[Guest]

Meh. Imo it wouldn't look good but your choice.

@Robin:

Is there a capacity limit of text in the item description window? Or will we be able to scroll down within the item descriptions text box?

[Robin]

@Sekaru:

> Meh. Imo it wouldn't look good but your choice.

I just don't want all sorts of dry data in the tool tip. You're free to put it in if you want.

[Helladen]

This is very easy to add Sekaru. It looks fine, I added it to my game.
