Just a little help…

[Rydo]

Hey there! well, I was working on a crafting system for my project and I came across an error with this code:

```

' Proficiencies smithy

SetPlayerSmithExp Index, Buffer.ReadLong

TNSM = Buffer.ReadLong

frmMain.lblSmithExp.Caption = GetPlayerSmithExp(Index) & "/" & TNSM

' Proficiencies alchemy

SetPlayerAlchemyExp Index, Buffer.ReadLong

TNAL = Buffer.ReadLong

frmMain.lblAlchemyExp.Caption = GetPlayerAlchemyExp(Index) & "/" & TNAL

' Proficiencies enchant

SetPlayerEnchantsExp Index, Buffer.ReadLong

TNEN = Buffer.ReadLong

frmMain.lblEnchantsExp.Caption = GetPlayerEnchantsExp(Index) & "/" & TNEN

```

I was expecting this error as I have not created these labels because the engine I use has a fully rendered GUI. I was wondering if someone could give me some help as to make this properly function. I use eclipse reborn 

Keep in mind I'm still learning vb6 and my main coder is on **vacation**.

[Growlith1223]

Make the variables required for this as Globals(Public As ) in modGlobals or wherever

Then take OUT the lines that are using labels, and then in Render_Graphics, goto where it renders some text, or you can use DrawGUI, and use the RenderText and use the same text you wanted for the text Arg.

If you're wanting it as labels, then just create the labels lol.

Hope this Helps 

[Rydo]

The labels tell you how well you are doing with the stat, so I need them in it. I'm having trouble adding labels as the whole GUI is rendered ;/

[Growlith1223]

Well, you could just use a picturebox, add the labels, then move the picturebox wherever…OR go into Sub InitializeGUI, and set the labels to be at a certain place.

[Rydo]

I don't think you understand, there is no main.frm, everything is rendered, so there is no frm for me to add lbls or picture boxes to.

[Growlith1223]

frmMain is the form that everything is rendered too. i do know what you are talking about…If you don't have that form then you're most likely not seeing it or you need to look to your right for all the files or are just missing that file.

[Rydo]

Woops, there is a frm main, but thats the admin pannel, I mean theres no frms for the actual game

[Growlith1223]

frmMain is extended out. it's small for whatever reason Deathbeam decided to make the form start out small. look in sub Main for the form sizes.

frmMain is the game screen.

[Rydo]

This code is there.

```

' set the main form size

frmMain.Width = 12090

frmMain.height = 9420

' show the main menu

frmMain.Show

ShowMenu

HideGame

```

[Growlith1223]

yep, that equals 800x600\. i can't rly remember how to convert twips to pixels but yea. just extend out the form(goto the frmMain and stretch it out) till the scale Width is 800 and the ScaleHeight is 600 and you will have your screen. and you can place anything as you please.

[Rydo]

Ive got to the point where it wont stretch any more, and no screen..?

[Growlith1223]

because everything is rendered lol, there wouldn't BE anything on it except the admin panel, just add the labels and position them where you want it or whatever.

[Rydo]

Wow, im such a noob, I forgot it was all rendered lol.

[Growlith1223]

lulz, it happens.

[Rydo]

That seemed to help , I just placed the labels on it and put the code under the mana and health bar code (Until I made a new picframe with stats)

But im getting a error saying "method or data member not found" and it highlights .chkGrid < this is something I never ever changed I believe

[Growlith1223]

Did you add that checkbox?

[Rydo]

Yeah, I'm sure thats the checkbox for grid mode on the map editor, which came with eclipse reborn..

[Growlith1223]

check to see if it's there, if not, add it lol

[Rydo]

omg now it says variable not defined for NumItem

```

Private Sub Form_Load()

' If debug mode, handle error then exit out

If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

scrlPic.Max = [b]NumItems[/b]

scrlAnim.Max = MAX_ANIMATIONS

scrlPaperdoll.Max = NumPaperdolls

' Error handler

Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:

HandleError "Form_Load", "frmEditor_Item", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext

Err.Clear

Exit Sub

End Sub

```

[Growlith1223]

xD replace all numItems with Count_Items

I think it was called Count_Items, look in the modRendering or something like that.

[Rydo]

Can't find a Count_Items, would it be MAX_ITEMS perhaps?

[Growlith1223]

no, depending on what that error is from…if it's from the frmEditor_Items, then no. look for a sub, i think it's in the clsDirectX8 or whater but there should be a sub there that counts everything. look for that sub, it will have a bunch of

```

Do While

```
look for the one for the items.if it's what im thinking of, it's to do with the Sprite for the item so it would have to be because of that…also try looking in the modGlobals as well.

[Rydo]

Ok so it was Count_Item < no s ;D

[Rydo]

Yeah so now theres a problem compiling with Call EditorItem_BltPaperdoll and it says sub or function not defined

[Growlith1223]

check to see if that sub exists, also check to see if it's in the cls file.
