Mctyler2, welcome back!

No need to cry, please, don't cry :)

One of the benefits of Eclipse, is that it is very user-friendly.  You can also do pretty much anything in the game, from making new items, to NPCs, to multiple tile attributes, etc… But to unlock the power of the engine, you'll need to learn how to use it effectively, right?

Most of this stuff can be learned in the http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?board=34.0 board.

Now, there's no need for emailing or anything like that, because what's great about this community, is that we are always willing to help you, when you ask questions.

Items, they are very easy to make.  I'm sure you found the Item Editor by now, if you have, to make a weapon, you simply use that drop-down menu to select "Weapon" in the Item Editor; you can pick the sprite for the weapon and everything.

As for NPCs, here is a useful guide on creating them: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=38183.0 << reading this, should solve your NPC problem :azn:

Also, here is a nice mapping tutorial that explains the differnet features (and attributes, and what the attributes do, etc) in the map editor: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=36726.0

Remember, you should never stop seeking knowledge, and if you discouraged, remember that we are all here to help you.

You'll get in the same way you get into the map editor, or npc editor; you hit "F1" to bring up the admin panel (in the client), click "Editors", then click "Item Editor" or something like that.

I'm about to go to bed, so I'll reply to more tomorrow.
Currently. the shopkeeper is bugged.  You can create a shop with other methods though, such as a Shop tile attribute (where if you walk on the tile, it opens the shop), or, if you really want to use the NPC, you can use a Scripted NPC (the NPC tutorial, I think explains about scripted npcs).
Just put this under whatever case for the NPC you want:
Call Goshopping(index, shopNum)
Replace "shopNum" with the number shop you want.

Also, to attack a monster (or interact with an NPC in general), you walk over to the monster and you hit "Ctrl".

I've read you found a solution to the first question.
As for making new classes, there is a very nice tutorial on that, located here:

Also, if you scroll down to Reply#10, you'll find a class generator-file ;)
