Eclipse Origins v2 Beta

[Robin]

MaleSprite: 1,4,6,23,101
FemaleSprite: 2

These numbers are the character sprite numbers. In this example a male player will have a choice between choosing sprite number 1 or 4 or 6 or 23 or 101\. Female characters will only be able to use sprite number 2.

If you want multiple sprites per class & per sex, you just split them with a comma.

When he wants to. Robin is working on this engine for free in his free time. Best thing to do is not ask when it will be released. It'll be released when its released.

in the map editor.. there is a X and Y.. set the size of your map with that. (max might be set at 255x255 due to data being a byte.)

In this project i can make minimap?

With source editing.
Read the change logs and such before posting.. It'll have EVERYTHING you can do written within.

Ok ok but I don't known - create game on 1.0.2 or wait for 1.0.3 XD

[Harris6310]

You might as well stay with 1.0.2 because if you wait for 1.0.3, when it comes out you'll question if you should wait for 1.0.4.

I'm experiencing a really odd bug Robin.

It seems that all users below the highest indexed player get epic lag* when receiving packets (but not sending).

Although, this was tested over Hamachi. Not sure if it will work locally.

It still lags over the local network, not sure about on the same computer though.

Epic lag: ~11 second lag.

Find:

```
frmServer.Socket(Index).SendData Buffer.ToArray()

```
And underneath put:

```
DoEvents

```
Already fixed in v1.0.3.

[emblem]

Thanks, that fixed it. :P

Epic win! Too bad I've already settled on Stable for my game. Oh well, once I finish Alley Cats I'll be sure to try this out!

[Dark Crusade]

Alright, found a rather interesting bug.

So, I was editing the second map; when I realised its size was different to the first, thus changed it to 20x20 while in the middle of editing. When I saved the new properties, it distorted the map I was on, showing what looked to be the very first map I made, except, tile positions were screwed up. I moved off the map, and when prompted, discarded all changes. Then upon walking back onto the map, it was still screwed. So I opened the map editor and cleared all layers, and filled the ground with a new sand tile. I saved the map, and realised about 10 random npcs spawned, except they didnt move or such, so I imagine it was just the graphics. I was also unable to move. I opened the map editor back up, went to properties to check if they were npcs, and it crashed, giving me an RTE 10 followed by an RTE 6\.

I tried to log in again after putting the server back online, and it crashed straight off the bat. Ballie was on the server with me, and couldn't see what I could see. The npc sprites I could see were the same as his graphic, he had chosen; which was female warrior (standard). He then went to a map he was working on, (map 3), and upon walking onto it, it also crashed, generating the same RTEs, and crashing the server.

Unfortunately I don't have screenshots, but hopefully I gave you enough information.

[balliztik1]

I walked onto YOUR map, Beau. Map 3 was yours, and that was the one that asploded the server as soon as anyone walked on it.

To add to Beau's report, he sent me the map, which I loaded in my own server, from VB6\. The client threw RTE 6, overflow, in the HandleMapNpcData upon reading in the NPC's number. The server threw RTE 9 because apparently there was an NPC set to 1537, which was well above the maximum NPC number. These two would seem to match up, showing that an erratic NPC number screwed our map somehow.

As to how this happened, it's pretty unknown. I have tried to replicate the bug, to no avail. Might just call this a freak accident, because it's random as hell.

Just a suggestion for a future feature, could you implement an undo button? I'm not doubting you could or not, I'm just throwing it out there that'd it'd be kind of nice to have.  :cheesy:

Well, to have an Undo button, that means that the client has to store data about the last event(s) that happened. While not impossible, the client already runs on temporary files for editing purposes. You'd have to have temporary versions of temporary versions of files to implement something like that.

Good Job guys on the new update  ;)

[shadowwulf]

SO yeah. Gonna DL this and get cracking on twisting the code to my benefit. Mwahahahaha.
I'll be sure to post any oddities I find.

[Robin]

@Ramhu:

> Good Job guys on the new update  ;)

I'm multiple people now? :x

[shadowwulf]

yes… yes you are...
I am doubel checking but I think I am finding multiple issues...

[Robin]

Post them then. I did the final brush up at about 2am, so I was knackered.

[shadowwulf]

Well…
I picked Sprite 9 which showed up fine in char menu.
Loaded game and had sprite 7.

F1 isnt opening the Admin menu.
-I added myself as admin then completely reloaded everything.

Some other issues with my own tileset formatting...
