Project Vertigo Origins [ 1.1.4 – FINAL ] (2D Side-Scrolling ORPG Engine)

[vaaron]

This must be something that is just wrong with your side of things. i just tested mine and i dont get the same outcome as you, but i will report a good one. Have you figured out the Freezing bug i cant seem to find it. Ok, Check it out. open up your PVO server & client go into the game and hit ALT. it all locks up for a moment.

Hopefully that's the reason why it's been happening. Just cleared mine. Let us all try to see if we can cause the glitch with the old cached maps gone.

Question: does a fresh download of PVO 1.1.0 contain any map files in the client's folder? If not, then this isn't the issue.

**Edit:
There aren't any map files cached in the download. That means clearing your maps doesn't fix the problem. I'm not sure why maps would affect the glitch anyways since variables concerning the animation system aren't linked to the map variables/mapRec.**

@vaaron:
That's because hitting ALT redirects Windows to shift focus to the window's menu. If the game were fullscreen, this wouldn't happen. This issue is congruent with EO 2.0, EO Event System, and any other unprepared VB6 windowed program.

[vaaron]

i understand, btw can you help me with the client real quick. How would you make the client fullscreen. i just need a nudge in the right dirrection

[JohnPony]

Just converted this to the latest eclipse nightly release, the only thing i can't seem to get working properly is the Npc sprite direction :/

[Likestodraw]

I've notice only one bad thing about the current version- there's no way I'll be able to find these kinds of sprites.

[mrmiguu]

@Likestodraw:
Find?

I am making it a bit more difficult for the user, but anything you'd be able to find would not be standardized nor would it be of decent animation.

Honestly I like that, you can navigate the map more easily while mapping.

[Joyce]

Agreed, hardly a bug or flyhack.. It just simplifies mapping, as it saves you jumping all over on non-existant tiles. (Stuff you place locally is not nessecarily used serer-side, making it look silly even without the "flying")

> Found a bug:
> If you hold down the attack button, all of the animations start acting up. When you walk/run/jump you're stuck in the falling animation. And when you press attack, you're stuck in that animation while you walk/run (but is reset to falling if you jump).

Just curious, is this still an issue?

[mrmiguu]

@Domino_:
That was made on purpose. I believe it should be listed as an added feature somewhere in the changelog.

@Zetasis:

> Yes. It's a bug that we've yet to figure out entirely yet. Once it's fixed, the engine will be pretty much done. I'm not adding any more features. This is the closest to the final version you guys will see. As I've said, the bug is still around.

> For us, it seems pretty intermittent. Spotting it is hard because we don't know what triggers it. I have a hunch that somewhere along the line, the player is just flat-out not getting any packets across to the server in terms of movement. If the player refreshes their location, the bug flattens out and everything works again. Something client-sided (or something) is preventing the player's movement/jumping/falling packets from logically and legally getting over to the server for a proper update.**

[Zetasis]

Well I hope you can get it fixed. I like the engine and would love to use it.

[Whackeddie99]

Miguu, can I have the source for 1.0, or whatever was before 1.1.0? I want to fuck around with the code and see what I can make, now that I know what I'm doing as a programmer.

[mrmiguu]

@Whack:
What don't you want that's in 1.1.0?

[Whackeddie99]

@MrMiguu:

> What don't you want that's in 1.1.0?

I'm going to take all the bugfixes out of your new version and just put them into the old version. I never expected you to add this buggy jumping bum candy. No offence.

[Whackeddie99]

Just thought I'd let you know that I downloaded 1.1.0, and this glitch only happens with players who are not administrators. Use that and figure it out, or don't. But the point is, you should just remove this dumb way of spinning when you jump. I mean seriously, what the duck?

[mrmiguu]

Chill your grill. He only spins because the animation for jumping and falling makes him do that. Other than that, thanks for reminding me to set my player to normal access for next time when I test it.

[Whackeddie99]

Oh yeah, I should also mention that when you attack the npc test as a non-admin, the npc stops processing. Then when you jump, the gltich happens every time.

[lillyflower]

i love the side scroller u made

[ZeoWorks]

Havn't heard from you in a while MrMiguu, I hope things are going well. 

It would be great to see this engine in Eclipse Advanced 3.0 

[mrmiguu]

> It would be great to see this engine in Eclipse Advanced 3.0 

Is that the current standard now? Transferring over might eliminate the bug since it'd be a clean interpretation.

**Edit:**

I remember the Eclipse Nightly Releases by JC. They looked (look) appealing. I like that he's running out of bugs. If I'd pick a version to transfer over to, I'd probably be that one since it's clean and trustworthy.

[Zetasis]

I think it would be pretty cool if a new conversion were to happen. I would love to use the event system along with the side scrolling aspect of this engine.

> Is that the current standard now? Transferring over might eliminate the bug since it'd be a clean interpretation.

If you do plan on transferring this over to a more recent version, you may want to hold off on it until the [Developer Contest](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129781-new-developer/) is over and then base ur transfer off of whoever engine wins and becomes the new standard for Eclipse.
