Eclipse - The Final Frontier

[mattfr]

Suggestion for you

A way to go to maps easier would be a Plus in less I don't know the easy way.

Rang weapons would be a + like bow / crossbow - I don't think been added.

Guild things would be nice something for them to do as a Guild like example Guild team area, Cap the flag, or a area they have to try to hold as a guild. just to name a few. isn't that one reason people play online games

that all I can't think about atm

1) You can use the MapEditor to add a warp to the map thus instantly transporting you to another map at any given position.

2) Absolutely. I'm glad you mentioned that. I do need to add it so it's now on my todo list for the next update. (Shit gets done dawg )

3) I like the idea, however, any feature I build into TFF must be generalized for the public. In other words, it can't be a specific idea. It has to be something everyone can use and manipulate to their liking. Right now, I just don't see a way to do that with your suggestion. If you have an idea of how to accomplish this, please don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks for the reply bud.

works but cant click on buttons

[Zeno]

I think it was removed on purpose… Hopefully not because of bugs. 

This is all client-side. To re-enable clicking as well, in modInput remove certain comments as below:

Sub HandleMouseDown

```
Case GUI_SPELLS

Spells_MouseDown Button

mouseState = GUI_SPELLS

If Button = vbRightButton Then mouseClicked = True

Exit Sub

'Case GUI_MENU

' Menu_MouseDown Button

' Exit Sub

Case GUI_HOTBAR

Hotbar_MouseDown Button

Exit Sub
```

Sub HandleMouseUp

```
Case GUI_SPELLS

Spells_MouseUp

mouseClicked = False

'Case GUI_MENU

' Menu_MouseUp

Case GUI_HOTBAR

Hotbar_MouseUp
```

That should be all it takes.

Edit: @escfoe2: This could very easily have an options check in the config.ini. I prefer the clean UI too, but seems a little contentious. Tiny feature for a future version? Be a couple if statements, and a simple chkButtons in the options menu where you'd also need to render or remove the GUI, depending on the case, when changed.

I don't necessarily feel like those buttons are necessary. Some people like them, some don't. Being that it's easy to re-enable them, I don't feel the need to do that myself, however, giving non-programming users the ability to turn it on and off isn't a bad idea I suppose.

Do this for weapons maybe ? Have a set damage value, but it deals in a range of 5% or 10%.

Or maybe you set 2 values and it chooses a random value in between them.

In addition your doing a great work with this engine keep it up.

[vulcano]

I found a bug

When you close the map editor, the hot bar disappears and only returns when you enter the game again

!Edit

Other bug

I click in Guild button or press G button and the Guild menu dont open

I recommend reading threads before posting in them, especially where this was covered just 3 days ago.

Not a bad idea, thank you. If you have any more or would like to go more in depth on an idea, don't hesitate.

I found this before the last release and I forgot about it lol.

I was a little lazy. I apologize. Thank you for reporting though, it is greatly appreciated.

I'm going to update the Client.exe with the fix.

This is not the Questions and Answers board. I ask that you not ask me to do things for you here. Private Message me or create a topic in the correct board. Thanks.

The Client executable file has been updated. The HotBar will come back after leaving the Map Editor now.

Hey I would like to point out that the random placing of tiles does not work for me.

[escfoe2]

> Hey I would like to point out that the random placing of tiles does not work for me.

I'll be honest. That was a feature added by the EM Dev team. I have no idea how it works, but I'll look in to it.

[Swizl]

It's nothing to important imo, but I thought I'd report any bugs I find to you.

On that topic, you may want to consider adding these one-line fixes:

Added in. It will be included in the next update.

Thank you for that.

Hello.

This engine is for sure one of the best on this site .

In my opinion good idea are options characters "?" and "!" for quests from npc.

Sample code and demo is in Rob Janes's version.

I use complete base and there don't have fix for map editor.

When I close editor map is respawn to first location.

I hope this fix will be in next update.

I know this fix is ready but only for executable file.

Button "B" and "M" are use for same.

Why?

Old background in gui is better.

Sorry but new background and finish for buttons is terrible. (first window in client)

I cannot find option off the minimap.

If engine don't has this option i propose add this.

Minimap can drag on left side on the chat.

This solve add place for the buttons. (quests, inventory, party etc.)

Avatars in conversations are very estetic.

Maybe You can add this option?

I really like the pop-up windows solution beside chat.

Great idea and very estetic!

Maybe pets and mounts system?

If of course engine don't has this option .

Multi character in one account.

Addon "New Create Character Screen" will be very nice see in this engine.

I cannot find tutorial but this is demo: [http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/1d509bc7afedea0bb174aa2bd86400ed.png](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/1d509bc7afedea0bb174aa2bd86400ed.png)

For now this is all from me .

Thanks for read.

Ugh just add buttons back, looks very confusing, not only for developers but for players too, or at least if you don't want buttons to appear on screen then make an option to hide them, but don't permanently hide the buttons just to use quick keys.

Also the mini map can be disabled?

[escfoe2]

The new main menu background image is to help make this engine more visually unique. I'm sorry to hear you don't like it, but it's easy to change.

P.S. The buttons on the main menu were left unchanged. They don't fit properly with the image, but I'm a programmer, not a graphics artist

The next major update will include all fix's released in the minor updates of the Client.exe and/or Server.exe.

It's not "B" and "M", it is "V" and "N". This is because the inventory hotkey was originally on "B", but was changed for the buddy/friend system. So now it is two hotkeys so you can use whichever is more comfortable.

The next update will include two new options in the option pane. (MiniMap - On/Off) (Main Buttons - On/Off)

Multi-Character, Conversation Avatars, Quest Character Optimizations, and Pets are all future updates. This update will not include them in order to save time in-between updates.

**Thank you for your constructive criticism and thoughts.**

[twistergames]

This need an Buff/Debuff system! 

Thanks @escfoe2, you engine is the best!! *-*
