Why am i limited to 4 maps

[paratech]

whilst creating my game i discovered im only allowed to create 4 maps, but when i look in the server and client folders i have 50 maps to use. i can warp to them fine with the admin tool, but when i set a warp portal it only shows 4 max. can i add more maps or do i have to do something else. im using eclipse vb

[Santini]

Have you actually set a name or mapped some of the fifth map before trying the set the warp to it?

[paratech]

yea set up a building and then tried to warp to it, but its not allowing me to warp to it.

Make sure max_maps const or how ever its written in that version is bigger then 4.

Need some more information is this when you try use a warp tile attribute? or the warping in map properties? not sure on what you mean.

[paratech]

its using the tile attribute im trying to use.

[zomb88]

Well on client and server search for MAX_MAPS make sure its set more then 4.

 Then goto the map editor form find the frame that has the scroll bar and check the max value of that bar (in properties and in code)

is there an update for eclipse vb as it keeps saying mine is outdated.

[Santini]

Client side you need to go to project > EVB Properties then click the make tab and you need to make sure the version number matches the values below server side in mod constants:

' Version constants
Public Const CLIENT_MAJOR As Byte = 2
Public Const CLIENT_MINOR As Byte = 4
Public Const CLIENT_REVISION As Byte = 0

[paratech]

the only options shown to me in the client folder

[paratech]

the options are:

data files

src

bass.dll

client.vbp

eclipse vb

runtimes

What version of eclipse are you using because the modconstants should not max out at 4 maps., modconstants are in data files both client and server side. you will need visual basic 6 to change them. If the number of maps to more than 4 make sure both server and client side. Although I highly doubt this is your problem. Can you tell me what version of eclipse you are using.

[paratech]

im using eclipse vb and eclipse evolution 2.7

[paratech]

mainly eclipse evolution 2.7

Look in mod constants and tell my what number is there for MAX_MAPS

You're using two incompatible engines together, and, on top of that, EE 2.7 is very outdated.

It is outdated, I still thinks its cool though ;-) Maybe you should switch to a less outdated system

[paratech]

true 2.7 maybe outdated but when ever i log into vb it says thats outdated and i have to go to the sleepystudios website.

is there a link to a more updated version anywhere?

how can i transfer tiles from 2.7 to vb as well.

[Santini]

The engine is not outdated it is saying the client is outdated compared to the server. Follow this to fix it:

Client side you need to go to project > EVB Properties then click the make tab and you need to make sure the version number matches the values below server side in mod constants:

' Version constants
Public Const CLIENT_MAJOR As Byte = 2
Public Const CLIENT_MINOR As Byte = 4
Public Const CLIENT_REVISION As Byte = 0

Why dafuq are you cross using version?

If you use EE 2.7 then use EE 2.7 server

if you use EVB then use EVB server

You have to re-download it because there were some bug fixes.

Eclipse engines are not backward compitable, in order to make it work you'll have to make convertors for the accounts, items, npc's, maps and resources.
