Mohenjo Daro Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 So I'm still working on Eclipse Renewal and there will be an update coming out in the next month. I'll aim for the end of this month, so expect it around then.* * *What will 1.8.1 add and remove?The main things this update will be doing is fixing the known bugs and drawing the GUI to the screen instead of having button and textboxes on the screen. Overall it will look nicer, have alpha support, and be less cluttered in VB6 when editing the code.I'm also planning on all custom GUI graphics and a new layout (I haven't decided what the layout will look like yet, so any suggestions are welcome).Smaller things that will be changed/added are the server will save your settings. It sounds small and not the great, but if you have someone else hosting the server and need it restarted, you now don't need to worry about them selecting all the right options (same if you have an auto restarter).A few more server options are planned as well (Screen sizes and fullscreen selections)* * *If you have suggestions to be added, head over to: [www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-Suggestions](www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-Suggestions)If you have bugs, head over to: [www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-1-8-0-Bugs](www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-1-8-0-Bugs)If you want to see the current progress, head over to: [www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-1-8-1-Changelog](www.eclipseorigins.com/Thread-ER-1-8-1-Changelog)If you have a layout idea for me, post a ruff picture of it in this thread* * *Teasers1 >! 2 >! 3 >!  4 >!  5 >!  6 >!  7 >!  8 >!  9 >!

Mohenjo Daro Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Here's a quick sneak peak of the GUI and what I have done so far.>! The old GUI elements (the black GUI) will be deleted once I finish coding everything so I don't forget something. The new GUI is all drawn to the screen and will go slightly transparent when walked under by a player (as seen with the hotbar becoming more transparent).

Mohenjo Daro Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I have a new teaser for you guys!Note: all new graphics are made by me so that I don't need to worry about ownership. Hopefully they aren't too horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonello Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Agreed, love the look of the GUI. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Glad you guys like the look of it :) I might change the hotbar a bit so it fits in better, but not sure as that will take some more code rewriting.What do ya'll think, should I chop the hotbar in half and stack it, giving it a rounder look as well, or should I leave it be?If you have a different idea then feel free to let me know as well, drawing a rough sketch helps even more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Finally fixed some problems I've been having with the render area (see the changelog for more info) ~~so I should be able to finish the screenshot code soon~~So because the way I was trying to do the screenshot was to increase the form size to the map size and take a quick picture of the form's hdc, I'm putting screenshot on hold because the form can't be bigger than the screen. I'll still try to figure out a work around, but I'm going to focus on other features for now.The current state of the screenshot takes a picture of the form's dc (it's what you see) and saves it to a file (though the size of the image is your screen resolution which it another problem). So it can work if every map is the size of your screen, or there's a program to crop the images down, but larger maps can't be screenshotted unless you have a large monitor (and since I can't do much about it with VB6, it's on hold).

Mohenjo Daro Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Increased the length of the bars to fit the numbers better and change the font of the words as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohenjo Daro Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Trading is done, buttons now change color and play sounds when hovered over or clicked (I was clicking the trade button so you can see the color difference). Text is also fixed so it's actually visible now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 So I said the release would be (hopefully) this week, but due to my computer dying, ER is n hold until my new parts arrive and I can get it working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohenjo Daro Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sorry for the lack of updates for the past week or so, but the comp I was using died (I still have the progress) so I haven't been able to do much GUI work. In the mean time I've been thinking of ways to do the seemless mapping, mainly the best way to save the maps, but that's still a few updates away.I should have the parts tomorrow but with my luck they'll probably be broken again haha.Thought you all deserve to know the current hold up.

Any approximate timeframe on the update now? I have so so many people who are excited about playing the type of game I am making with this, trust me my ideas are like none other that exist and with all the excitement spilling over with people I feel like I need to be getting this game made and ready to be played.

Mohenjo Daro Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 If the part works then I will be able to resume work today and should have the update out by the end of this week. That's assuming the part works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
