O Basic word translation for Noobs/newbs :) O

[Timus]

I know what its like being a noob to certain things, having to ask people what everything means. In some tutorials and forum topics etc., they speak another language, Eg. they say Tut…. = Means tutorial.

**Read this if your new, it should help you in the long run:**

GUI: Its the frame of your game. The login screen, in-game menu etc. This can be changed to what you want.

SPRITES: Your characters that you move around.

GFX: This is your graphics, Sprites, tiles, items etc.

NPC's: Computer controlled sprites that do what you make them do, Eg. Give quests.

SFX: This is sound effects, like GFX only instead of graphics, its all the sound like when a sword clashes.

SCRIPTS: This is the programming of the game, make certain things happen in the game such as mining. You do not have to touch these to make a game, but will help you make a GOOD game.

PAPERDOLL: This is what you use when you want to make an item be seen when your sprite equips it. Such as a sword. Sheets of this can be found in the paperdoll section if you do not wish to make your own.

FAQ's: Frequently asked question, facts.

BOOTMAP: This is to do with dying. When you die where do you appear.

SERVER: This is what your game runs off, what people link up to to play the game. A server is usually your computer but you can use other options.

CLIENT: The client is the oppisite to server, this is what your players download to play. It holds all the stuff they need to have such as the GFX, SFX, Music, GUI.

RTE: Run time errors, things that go wrong with OCX and Dll files. Look at the runtime fixes topic for solution…can usually be solved. They shouldnt happen with the new version, Eclipse Evolution.

Can't think of anymore at the moment, ill post them here if i think of anymore. Hope it helps.

actually to reply to the comment "when you sleep you forget things" if you fall asleep while doing something like memorizing a script or learning something you will continue to think about it subconsciously for an hour after your asleep… :D just a little fun fact

[RyokuHasu]

@Gemini, YOU TOO! Read the date, that comment is 6 years old!

I vote to lock this outdated topic before more people start asking questions and making comments on 6 year old things.

@Ryoku:

I like it though in the last one RTE you said that it shouldn't happen with the newest one Eclipse Evolution. Isn't it Eclipse Origins your talking about?

[RyokuHasu]
