I will look into account name lengths. The new hotfixes contain the minimize button for the server. I think the older client won't allow you to register an account is why you were getting that problem. I will add dates to the hotfixes, thank you.

Very nice Miguu, i saw your To do list in the first post, and im wondering something about the last one.
What about climbing sprites for ladders? (i saw the attribute on map editor)

Yes. I was going to either make the ladder attribute or just make the up/down sprites attacking and jumping/falling. I say you guys should vote. Do you guys want ladder attributes or do you guys want the UP/DOWN frames of the sprite sheet to be used for attacking animations and jumping?

[mrdani]

So, you need 6 frames for climbing? x_x
Maybe 3 for attacking and 3 for climbing would be ok.

[Anna Comnena]

Ok yeah the name length wasn't a problem. I like how you've lowered the map editor size a little bit; but you need to turn off the GUI components when the map editor is active since it blocks the view of the map (this is no problem in normal Eclipse since the GUI is outside the map display view).

I see what you mean. I will set it so they all disappear once the editor is opened.

Well, I think what UP for Jumping and DOWN for Attacking would be awesome.
But, why don't you make this?:

UP:
Climb Climb Jump Up

DOWN:
Attack Attack Jump Down

(and the others like it's now)

Jump sprite needs two sprites (one going up, and one falling), and climbing two… And attack with two it's enough.

[Anna Comnena]

Actually, you should make it so the down arrow key will allow you to drop off platform tiles. Having no way to go down without walking off the end of a platform row is extremely limiting in a map design aspect. With an ability to move downward would greatly increase the depth of the maps.

Edit: FORGET about all the fancy animations right now, it's fine as it is although the suggestion about using the UP/DOWN directional sprite frames could be useful.

So, I quit my main game because I really want to make a side-scroller, but I still recieve the Run-time error 401 that says:

"Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed"

The run-time error shows up every time I try and edit something like maps, spells, NPC's, etc.

Please help.  :cry:

This is not the doing of me or you. It is most likely an error that can be fixed by repairing your .dll/.ocx files. Some .dll's are required to read specific objects on a vb6 form. If that specific .dll is corrupted, the program won't know how to read the foreign object properly, thus giving you the error message.

*Noob question incoming*

How do i fix it then?

Run ELI or manually register each .dll by typing in the Start->Run box "regsvr32 [insert .dll name here].dll"

[magezhilo]

Running ELI didn't work and I don't get what you mean by manually registering my .dll's. Do you mean to go and rename each one?  :huh:

I tried ELI and I manually registered them and it still doesn't work. Some of the .dll's couldn't be registered because it couldn't find an "entry point". So, what now?  :sad:

[mrmiguu]

All computers are different. Obviously something went wrong. I think you're going to have to figure this one out on your own. It's not something we can do for you.

[magezhilo]

Ok, hope I can fix it.  :sad:

[Merailima]

Help! The thing is, I was working with the PV engine and it was fine, but suddenly, the charecters couldn't attack, enter shops, pick up items, etc. Could U help?

Sounds like your character isn't on the tile it seems to be. Use the _shift + click_ feature to relocate your character to fix this.

[magezhilo]

Hey, why can't I click on any of the buttons when I'm in the game, they don't change animation or make anything pop up.  :huh:

[mrmiguu]

I don't know. It works for everyone else… you might have to redownload PV.

[magezhilo]

I've done that twice, every time I do I get the 401 Run-time error and I can't click on the buttons.  :cry:

[mrmiguu]

@Wraith:

> I've done that twice, every time I do I get the 401 Run-time error and I can't click on the buttons.  :cry:

It's because the error message takes the focus of the frmMirage form on the program. That's normal.

[devilbleep]

Lolol. Its good thing I dont have any chest hair. :P But, I wasnt gonna ask that,
Did you see the post I made about the "Trying to add more boxes to the sprite sheet.
Like two more. One for jumping and another for Attacking.

[mrmiguu]

Yes. I talked with Anna about this already and plan on implementing it.
