I believe you can edit the source with notepad but you would still need VB6 to compile it.

[rairai5650]

awtz do you have VB6 can you give me link?

[Santini]

Which version of Eclipse are you using? Because I noticed you posted in the help section for Eclipse 4.0, which is not open source. Meaning you couldn't edit it with VB6 if you wanted too.

[rairai5650]

nope i post it in Programming Pls help

No, I meant this topic: [http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/134754-some-event-bug/#entry913312](http://www.eclipseorigins.com/community/index.php?/topic/134754-some-event-bug/#entry913312)

Anyway, my point is if you're using Eclipse Origins 4.0 you cannot edit it with VB6 as it is closed source.

So….. this is fake what I just ss'ed?

Okey it's Notepad++ but its still notepad and actually a very good way to edit something.

That's not notepad, that's notepad++, witch is a multipurpose text IDE. Huge difference. I also do not believe you can compile in that either otherwise there would be no point in using VB6

I'm not saying that you can compile with notepad, but you can edit and afther saving there might be some issues(maybe) with loading file into vb6 afther saving it with notepad, and agn:

Yes you can edit with notepad, BUT its unsafe because you can write something different than it's in other locations or definited, also you can not edit *.frm only theese files who contain plain text…

p.s.

Answering on topic question: You can only edit half of project, but that's not recommended because, safer,better and to be shure,you dont know if vb6 will read same what you saved with notepad, so better get copy of vb6\. And dont ask for links to download of smtn, thats illegal lol, go buy one.... or be naughty xD

You can change the code all you want inside any text editing software, but you need the VB6 IDE to compile. Compiling is absolutely necessary if you want the changes you made in the code to affect your game.
