NPC's Do Nothing! (Need VB6 Help!)

[Iman7]

I was making my game in eclipsevb 2.2.0 and whenever i kill an enemy they do their drops and stuff but they dont attack or respawn! And every once in a while I get runtime error 9…please help!

[DeathKnight]

There was a problem with the map's not respawning (except map 1) but that is fixed in the newer version.

As for attacking, they probably won't attack you if you are an admin.

For the RTE 9, when do you get the error? what are you doing when it happens.

[Iman7]

Where is this newer version and i dont get rte 9 anymore

[Seb]

double post

[Iman7]

Nooooo! I still get the error even with vb 2.2.1 

[Seb]

I dont know then it worked for me

[Iman7]

I tried everything and I know that the npc is causing the runtime error but i dont know what im doing wrong 

[Matt]

Do you have VB6? If you do, locate what line of code is causing the RTE please.

[Iman7]

No I don't want to pay for VB6  know where there is a free version?

[Iman7]

Sorry for double post but I got VB6 now what do I do? Please explain very detailed because I have no idea how to use this software…... 

[hisherwin]

If you don't know how to use VB6 , then hire a programmer…

run the game using vb6 , "You can see a (Play) button , a arrow that was pointing > " then play it , if an error appear press Debug , then tell us the line of the error.

[Iman7]

Do you know how i acctually open it like what code I write? I googled it but found nothing 

[hisherwin]

DAAAHHH … Even when i was a newbie i already know how to start it on vb6 without anyone help ...

Just open the vbp file on server/client side , then press the arrow pointing on the right , then play the game , and if there's an error press "Debug"

got that?

[Iman7]

I know this is probalbly hell for you but exactly how do I "Open the vbp file on server/client side?"

[Swizl]

Double click on it ?

[Iman7]

I meant how do I open it in VB6…....

[abhi2011]

lol

That made my day

Install VB6

Find the .vbp files. Double click on it. It will automatically open as long as you have not set any other application as the default app for opening such types of files.

[Iman7]

Okay I found some .vbp files in the template,projects folder but what now do i have to make a file?

PS:I have a free version of it.

Edit:Nevermind so I opened the server.vbp file with VB6 and then ran it. It says

Runtime error 429

License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate liscense to use this functionality in the

Then I clicked debug and it showed this,

[Swizl]

I hope you had VB6 installed.

[Iman7]

Yes I do can you help me check out the code above?

EDIT: Balls….....I figured out I need a licensed product but I realy don't want to pay for it, I don't have money to waste on

things like that 

Another EDIT: I looked for the real version and I couldn't even find it...........

If you don't want to buy, try torrenting it.

If you don't want to risk anything then don't try making games or try some other game creator or engine.

[Iman7]

Okay so I got the real version (portable) but it's still not working D:

[Iman7]

Sorry for double post but I wanna know if anybody else is having this error or if its just my amazing luck ;(

[Iman7]

BUMP

I have an idea but I need someone who knows they can fix this error on their own. This sounds kinda lame and rude but I will send someone the files to my game, server and all (That`s why I need to trust them, plus the game is just for me and my buds anyways!)

and have them fix it for me, cause a lot of people like Matthew and Sherwin know how to fix this, so if your in for the job then please ask and I will send you the files! When your done send the fixed game back and I will have to owe you one  (Must be at least over newbie rank please!)
