Owen F Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yep. It is annoying, people whining about such a great project, and achievement. I mean, MAN, ungrateful much?You COULD release the Snippet code for it alternatively.Either way, its not like i care :P or anyone should for that matter. It's a great piece of work that will suit any sidescroller WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 @MrMiguuâ„¢:> Since people are constantly whining about this engine being closed source then I might just close it all together. I don't want to tease people but at the same time I want to help. I refuse to make this open source. For those ignorant enough to say "I am makign a serious project, make this open source." I say **no** because if you're so "serious" about your project, you should already know how to program physics, if not then suck it up and use this engine.Yep, my game is serious but i will learn VB6 later so i can get on my own feet. But i totally agree with you that it is ignoring about the wheining and stuff.. I really hope you won't close the Project.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Most people here don't remember the times when Eclipse use to be closed-source; all the way up until Eclipse Evolution 1.0 (Eclipse's 6th build), the engine was closed-sourced, and people got along just fine; everything was handled via a limited version of sadscript.I know where Miguu is coming from, and if he wants to keep it closed source, he has the right to; if people are upset about this, they truly do not have to use it. Miguu didn't have to release this engine, but he thought it would help the community by giving them a chance of a platformer; he's beginning to learn what the developers of Eclipse had to deal with since about Eclipse 4 (or further).

mrmiguu Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks guys for backin' me up. I thought I was doing something good for people when they heard Lostica had working jump, I figured "hey, why not give them the chance?", but then Project Vertigo isn't good enough for them. They need as much as they can get when in reality they will get very little. Nobody gave me source to a physics engine or any sort of help with Lostica in the very beginning. I worked my way up to where I am now. Once people (like Admiral) get there, they realize that things like this are easily taken for granted. I don't plan on closing this down, I just was very upset at people's constant reactions lately "I want a side-scroller, anyone have physics code?". Then I post this thread and **SOMEONE ALWAYS** says "uck! Closed-Source? Nah…" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hehe, no i really like that it is Closed source. Ofcourse to bad i can't add things for myself right away, but now i'm forcing myself to learn VB6 to get on my own feet, but i'm learning pixelart first XD . So its really a BIG help that you keep it closed. :azn: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irhymer Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah i like it closed source too. It has more suspense, and you never know what can be updated next. Im making a side project to Oturan with this, and it wont need any source edits, just for fun :azn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zearth Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 oh alright, i was just curious how the 2d worked but im sure if i decide to use it i can figure it out xD. thanks miguualso, since this is closed source does that mean i couldnt change the location/size/etc for the health bars and such or is that just gui stuff?

The HP and MP bars will be circular gauges that decrease when you lose health and MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zearth Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 cool, although for a shooter i was thinking ammo instead of mp but sounds good anyways :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Ok guys, give me some suggestions for the custom made GUI. So far It will be fullscreen and have a sleek layout, I added fully movable windows and a tooltips feature. Here's a preview: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen F Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I'm a LITTLE unsure of what that means exactly MrMiguu (2nd post above, by you with the VB screenshot) Does that mean you can customize the GUI click options and what not, or am i missing the point? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 What should I do about the tmrInGameClock system? I have nowhere to put it and I don't see much use for it. You guys want me to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Put it so that clocks can be implemented ingame. Like a town hall clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
