demon xxx x Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well, I guess I can let you all in on this.I've taken the liberty of Eclipse.NET.**What is it?**Eclipse.NET is a Visual Basic.NET version of Eclipse. I have discussed this with Marsh, and he allowed me to do this. I am letting you all know about it now, since official development on it has started.It will have New features that Eclipse does not have, it will have a lot of the same features though. It will be user friendly, and I will add in a "First Time user (Creator Only)" tutorial on how to use. [Including: How to access Map Editor, Item Editor, etc. It will also help you on some simple Monster/Enemy statistics for "newb" enemies]If I can, it will have official Eclipse.NET graphics.**Who are the current developers?**Lord Tipsta, and I are the only 2 devs. Just give me a PM, submit a simple "application" explaining your level skill with VB.Net [Average, Intermediate, Advanced, etc.]I will not accept beginners unless you are a skilled enough beginner to help with minor features to add in, credit will be given, you will be considered a developer.**When is the expected Release date?**Please.. don't ask this question. Development JUST started.. 2 days ago? I have a total of… 5 hours time worked into it, as I work late usually.**Why let us know so early?**Because, I liked to make you wait… [No! Just kidding]So you can all know on current updates, and know that the engine is being made.**You know VB.Net, will you post tutorials?**Yes, eventually I will post some tutorials for you guys. VB.Net is a fun language to learn, quite easy.**Updates/Development**Thought it would be cool, Every 32x32 px coordinates will update under picGame.2008 © Dezire Software      2008 (c) Touch of Death Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sounds great does it need a website cause i can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon xxx x Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 No, I think Marsh is going to put it on the Eclipse page.I told Marsh I'd like to have it as an official Eclipse product, and the dev team would all be credited for the awesomeness Eclipse is. :P I'm not working currently. Will be working later though.

demon xxx x Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just a minor update. I'm thinking of how the movement will be. Pixel, Tile, or you tell me. If pixel, you will have the opportunity to choose between 8 direction movement or not.But, choose any, let me know asap.

anasky Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 tile… but like tiles of 16x16 :Pby pixel will be to long and to hard to fit in a door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon xxx x Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I see. But, tiles 16x16 would be kinda the same, just a different edit on coordinates and some other stuff.That is a good choice though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Don't use pixel by pixel movement, it will be so laggy. Make it ever 4x4 pixels or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmiguu Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 @Kreator:> Don't use pixel by pixel movement, it will be so laggy. Make it ever 4x4 pixels or something.I agree with Kreator on this one, because pixel movement eats up bandwith, just make it Free-Movement (a.k.a. 4-pixel movement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggilyboo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't see any point in making eclipse into .NET. The only new things that you could do with this, is to let newcomers edit the source with free capabilities. Just my opinion in the matter, -Tiggilyboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it ever 4x4 pixels or something.That's how I was actually planning on doing it, after I ran a test of TE with pixel movement.o.oPixel Movement will be 5 pixels move at a key press.

codemeister1990 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 what's so different about .net from normal eclipse?is .net browser based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon xxx x Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Nope, it's going to have a lot of new features that couldn't be done with VB6, or would be harder with VB6 than .NET o.oAnd it's free to get[Vb.Net] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homicidal Monkey Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 VB.net is kind-of crappy though.net framework is essentially an "interpreted" language that only works on windows machines. Why not just use java? The benefit of that is that code will never have to be redone because updates to the framework update the program. The downside is that its slow, (VB6 actually is faster) and there really is no difference between VB.net and VC++.net.Anyway, Eclipse.net would be useful to some people seeing how the .net framework/development is free. I suggest that if you are going to do this, wait for EE3.0 so that it does not become obsolete halfway through development.Anyone remember the development of EI? That was in vb.net. I got the server around here somewhere. There is also EGDK libraries that I will release upon beta. No reason to ever have to reinvent stuff.
