DMF Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 thing with the editors u gotta change some of it. move the packets out and have data sent directly to type of code used with the server, then from there its the same, problem is you gotta make sure the directories MATCH the client or u will get major problems, kinda doing sperathed editor but not for editing the game more like pre planing data, but the saving and inputing of the data for you dont change its the middle packet to regular data moving, i can send u external editor that was used forthe orginal eclipse updater that we had here, it saved ini but the basic concept didnt change,Form + mod(handled saving/loading of the data)then theres data that the editors needed from the server, and such will need its own setup within the mod. but like i said i would do it if i understood the .dat saving which i dont . hope this gives you an idea what i ment. o-o good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHero Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 **News**As many of you know I was thinking of converting the engine for VB.Net and, a few days ago, I decided to do some tests to see if I could handle of converting. Successively I fixed all reported errors, now I'll start fixing the remaining errors. Anyway just wanted to say that the next version of the Dream World will already be converted to VB.Net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That will be a big change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sadly, converting it to .NET will not actually make it better, rather slower as many coding practices used in VB6 are pretty bad in .NET, and vice versa. Not to mention you're not taking advantage of Multithreading, which would actually significantly help when you'd utilize them to run sections that're normally in a single gameloop seperately.

kibbelz Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Many before have tried to convert. The only one I can think of who has successfully done it was JC about 2 years ago. Even then it was pretty buggy and ran pretty slow. In the end most people just give up. Best of luck converting, Be prepared to re-write whole sections of the engine in order to improve quality.~Kibbelz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizl Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think starting an engine from the ground up is better than converting something.Like marsh is doing here or others elsewhere, but yeah not everyone has the will, patience and time to do it.
