[OPEN SOURCE] Flash Eclipse

[matthewpull]

I still can't believe that you made Eclipse (the best 2D OPRG engine available) into a flash client (the most compatible, stable, fast, etc. language available)!

This is so amazing, can't wait for a source release.

[Dr.House]

When the source will be available I will be able to change the client to swf ?

I want to upload it to my site, because atm is .exe, and I can't

[bintin]

I hope this gets released soon…

yeah that's kind of how i feel too. She's still pretty rough around the edges, needs a lot more features finished off properly, code cleanup etc.

Next release is likely to just be additional bugfixes / implementation of features already coded serverside. We walk before we run.

I'm having an issue getting the web client working.

Some info:

I have my server up on a dedicated host. I changed the port in the data file to 7001, and opened it. I confirmed that's working with http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

I recompiled the swf file with the necessary information.

_global.PUBLISHINGTIME = true;

var LockToDomain:String = "burstsocial.com";

var HostIP:String = "my dedi's IP";

I uploaded the html and swf files to my domain here: http://burstsocial.com/Flash_Eclipse_v3_0_1.html

As you can see, I'm unable to connect. I'm guessing because I need to define the port on the client side?

Correct. If you've changed the port serverside anturally the client has to follow.

I believe that you may also encounter restrictions on port ranges based on the xmlsocket flash class

I'd point you to the exact frame / line to change it but im not at a comp with access to the source right now.

No need to show me the line. I changed the port back to the original one, opened it, and everything is up and running perfectly now.

Awesome job with the flash client. I've been waiting for a web-based client using an engine similar to playerworlds for years.

Great to hear  If you fix anything / write more editors etc to expand existing functionality I'd love if you could let us know and post up a source. I'll curate the changes so everyone can benefit from updated versions.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to Eclipse 

[Ertzel]

Oh wow, didn't remember how annoying Flash is to work in until I looked at the source for this lol. Gunna take some time to re-learn flash and remember the flow of everything then try to come up with some edits for this

Yeah, honestly it's probably not a great example of flash programing.

I started this wehn i was very new to as2/any language, and looking at some of the code now makes me cringe and want to rewrite it.

Long term if I get some support behind this I'll migrate a lot of the code to self contained classes to help simplify the code and editing processes for people new to flash. That and just perform general optimizations / improvements.

Look forward to seeing your edits

Great work!  My question is are there paperdolls in this version or are you adding it later (or at all)? Also when I replace graphics (sprites) I only see them when I run the client locally but still see the old ones when it's up on the web (after I upload the new file of course), is there anything I have to do other than replace the Sprites.png file?

I'm also looking forward to your edits Ertzel.

All the serverside is there to support Paperdolling, clientside yet to be implemented.

If you replace the sprites you need to make sure you refresh your page that is hosting the file to force it to redownload the new version instead of the cached .swf, can't think of any other reason itd be doing this if you've uploaded the newer swf with the changed sprite sheet.

[matthewpull]

Only just had time to play around with it, its a great base but a little off being ready for a game (not that I think Baron won't get there).

I'll definitely be following the progress of this!

By default the debug player which is standalone for testing from the development environment has keyboard shortcuts enabled. To disable them dropdown the menus in the top left and toggle "disable keyboard shortcuts"

im really sorry I don't get what you mean could you explain alittle better im dumb

[MrPerfecTR]
