Eclipse 2.8 can't attack

[Admiral Refuge]

Try out [EE1.0](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ees.php); it may be some sort of incompatibility with your system (never know with VB6; that's why the new build is written in Java XD)

but .. v 2.8 / 2.7 … and 1.0 omg .. what a hole

Well i could try but if there is some interest in debugging i would help ^^

if u have something like a sort of special debugging release.. could view via teamviewer and if needed i could install vb on the root if i find it ~,+

Well, eclipse is sorta open-source; so if you have a copy of Visual Basic 6, you can download the source code to EE2.8 or 2.7 and modofy things, even post bug fixes in the Source Code board.

As for EE1.0, it's pretty much a different architecture then the other EEs, has other features (encrypted GFX, etc), and is still a very nice engine, while keeping most of it's scripting commands.
It's the only older version of Eclipse I would personally recommend, since it's so stable.

man .. thats annoying
i tried 1.0
on my home pc it works fine now …
even 2.8 (source download) works fine on my pc ..

If you're using Windows 2003 Server, you'll have to run the file in compatibility mode.

[Displaced]

tried with all modes … no effect

[Admiral Refuge]

hmm… I did remember afew people reporting problems on 2k3, usually when they ran the server and client in compatibility mode (for windows XP), they had luck.

Well, go into the Bugs and Errors board, download, extract, and install the Vista Fix; restart the system, and see if you have any luck

[Displaced]

sadly … no
I installed some system updates and the vista fix...
i still can't attack
all looks fine
scripts are running ...

Post up your Sub OnAttack, found in the \Server\Scripts\Main.txt

I suppose you couldn't upload a video or screenshot,  of yourself trying to attack?

[Displaced]

well i think this would be too much work ..
you can add me msn if u want and test it by yourself :/

```
' Executes when a player presses the CONTROL key.
Sub OnAttack(Index, Damage)
Dim Target

If Int(Damage) > 0 Then
If Int(GetPlayerTarget(Index)) > 0 Then
Target = GetPlayerTarget(Index)
Call DamagePlayer(Index, Target, Damage)
Else
Target = GetPlayerTargetNPC(Index)
Call DamageNPC(Index, Target, Damage)
End If
End If
End Sub
```
And another interesting fact is …
when i run this on my home laptop with windows 7 RC
IT WORKS
but not if i run the server on windows 2003 server

Well, the fact may be then, that it's Windows 2003 server's architecture, that's preventing it from working.  Now that I think of it, the users that have been able to get it to work on Win2k3, were using it for their server, rather than their client.

Either way, I'm sure this won't be an issue once Solar Eclipse comes out (assuming your machine has the latest version of Java installed ;))

god damn it ..

Well any information about solar eclipse?
pre downloads? opensource?
Some contact possibilities ?

[Akselj]

In announcements (I think) there's alot about it. Look for all topics containing "EE 3.0" or similiar.

Solar Eclipse is still in devlopment; it's written in Java, and not only has full 3d support, but also runs on every operating system that supports java (mac, linux, etc).

The source will be made available when it's done (along with the public svn); you can follow up in the progress here: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/board,206.0.html
Everything with the tags "[Solar Eclipse/Eclipse 3.0/The Java Eclipse]", directly pertains directly to Solar Eclipse (check the summary first, which gives the best overview).
Things that have the tag [EE3.0], most of that stuff will be included in Solar Eclipse as well.

EDIT: Also, not that many people use Windows 2003 Server for a gaming experience, so you can still develop, and your game will still be available to the majority.

Mine works fine, never had any problems with it yet.

[Akselj]

But do you use Server 2003?
