Mellowz Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 As most of you already know, I look for developers from time to time.Right now, I'm looking for developers for the Visual Basic 6 version of Eclipse Evolution.You need experience in:* Understanding how Visual Basic 6 works.* Understanding how Eclipse works.* DirectX7 (DirectX8 is a plus)* Capable of working as a **team*** Optimization techniques* Debugging code line-by-line* Sample work which is open-source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian666 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 well… guess i shall apply, i am nothing compared to you though...Damian666as long as it doesnt go to deep, i can be of help ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minipimp Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well, just to start off im going to tell you, Mellowz that that I have been using eclipse for 4(edit)years now and I have yet not been able to help this community as much as I would like to.I do know vb.6 ( not really well, but I know all the basics and such.)I know how eclipse works, somewhat.I work excellent with other people.I am willing to learn almost about anything, the only thing is I am not u really familiar with dx7.just thought I might ask, is there anyway or anything I could be of an assistance?I would really like to help in anyway possible ^^just wanted to see if its even possible.Thanks.

Robin Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 It's not really so much know how Eclipse works, as knowing Eclipse's source.I think the skill you need most whilst programming an engine like this, is problem solving. Most of the time, you'll be tracing packet trails, going through your code line by line, debugging problems which may occur… things like that.Apart from that, Joe and I have a very intimate knowledge of both Eclipse's source code, and Visual Basic 6\. We're not here to teach you to program, we need someone on the team who's willing to ease the weight off our shoulders and pull their own weight.

A good way of knowing if you have enough knowledge is if you can recall any sub-routine or function in Eclipse for performing a specific act.I'm not here to teach people, even though I'd love to… would make things a lot easier, but I just don't have the time.

mrmiguu Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Lol, saying that, Mellow, stumped everyone just now. Is Eclipse 2.9 going to be just optimizations? Any new features intended to be inserted? Elaborate on the meaning of the next version… I might want to help since I am already a developer and can call any sub-routine and/or function to perform specific acts.

Elaborate on the meaning of the next version… I might want to help since I am already a developer and can call any sub-routine and/or function to perform specific acts.I already have a change log of the features done in 2.8\. I know I keep changing version numbers, but I'm going to be re-releasing 2.8 as a full version of new features, fixes, and optimizations. There's an in-complete change log in the private developer forums.Is this release going to be just optimizations? No. A lot of systems are being re-written for the DirectX8 update. For example, the movement system, needs an extra column for 3 frame movement.Most ex-developers have had their SVN rights removed due to the fact that they're inactive right off the bat. It's like I get them on the team and that's all they want. @_@However, I believe I have you on MSN, so you can just PM me for any more information. ^^, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well when it comes to re-writes, I am so-so. I usually only rewrite current features such as bank/shop/etc. for my games but in this case, I don't have much of an idea of how to setup for a DX7 to DX8 transfer. Thank you for the explanation.

I have been re-writing systems ever since I can remember… I think, since I am up to my neck in AP homework this year, I will just stand back and watch. Thanks anyways.

digibattle Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I do know vb6 pretty well ive been working with it for a year and a halfI know how eclipse's source ive worked with that and such.I work excellent as a team i listen to peoples idea then tell them mine and go by what people say.and i am willing to do this of course i know how to debug.but i dont know everything about dx7 just some bits.so if you want me just ask :),fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digibattle Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 @Mellowz:> Have you worked on any games or re-written anything in Eclipse?yes i have made custom menus changed everything around and have worked with the server side plus made a global trade system (part vb6 part sadscript) if i have time i will find it and show you.

kris_hole Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 custom menu's isnt exactly hard to fix in eclipse though. just make a load of index's of each thin, like have more than 1 picture box onj the form and it never crasshes :P i think i put it up to something like 20 of each on kryce's source and i've never had a problem since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
