by fixing the dx8 module, you mean you basically fixed the graphics engine?

[tslusny]

> by fixing the dx8 module, you mean you basically fixed the graphics engine?

Yea. I fixed Automation error, what was happening when game loosed focus and removed Surface rendering, becouse they was throwing automation error too. It was major CS:DE bug, for what it was called "broken" engine.

EDIT: There are some other bugs and unfinished features, but they can be easily fixed, and i fix them too.

[Ariel]

that is exactly what i've been waiting for!

Waiting ~ Thanks

[Guest]

Then god damn man  Awsome work!

[TheRexion]

Can you explain what you mean by "enumerated server"?

[tslusny]

> Can you explain what you mean by "enumerated server"?

Change server side Constants like ITEM_TYPE_NONE = 1, ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY = 2 to Enumerations

[Marsh]

Why the hell werent those enums in the first place? Make them defines for even less memory usage. Might be a bit harder to debug though. VB6 can do that right?

[Ertzel]

Changing all of the things that go in a certain order from like 0-10 or 1-10 to Enum's is a female dog to do especially for things like color. Does it really make that much of a difference speed wise? (I've never had a problem with speed in any version of Eclipse so it's hard for me to tell)

It's so negiligible that it's pretty much no change in speed.

Nope.

While I'm a fan of Crystalshire and it's simplicity in loading textures; there's not a huge improvement in going from Eclipse Nightly to Crystalshire Developer's Edition. If anything it may be a step backwards. Just because Eclipse Nightly uses various classes, they're developed by LaVolpe; someone with far greater experience than Robin (Not putting him down by any means, Robin and I get along great, I'm just calling it like it is). Just because there are extra classes doesn't mean it's slower, or worse.

You can set the value i believe. At least you can in c++.

[or3o]

changing to enums actually takes up less memory, and it made it easier for me to take out stuff i didnt need. and yea you can set the value

[iSnow]

If you do this, don't remove the next spell thing, I liked that proficiency feature. If this means that much to you restore it to a state where Eclipse 3.0 is now but instead of adding events improve the conversations and then I'd try this.

Do you looked into loadtexture in CS:DE and in EO 3.0 ? In EO 3.0 loading of textures is really slower.

This still crashes on me with automation errors. .__.

[Synergy]

I can't wait for the day when we run out of synonyms for 'recovered' - I'm expecting Eclipse Rejuvenated-With-Green-Tea soon.

Oh, other than that, what exactly is this for? From what I can see, this is just CS:DE with the graphics engine fixed and a few other tweaks.

If that's the case, why not just called it "CS:DE Fixed" or something

[tslusny]

> This still crashes on me with automation errors. .__.

Really? I fixed lost focus automation error, so i think there arent any other errors. Can you tell me where is is giving automation error (in IDE) please?

> You can set the value i believe. At least you can in c++.

You can give an enumeration a value or have multiples of the same value, yes.

[Joyce]

Whelp, don't know what you did but the last one doesn't crash on me anymore.

Anyway, the conversation system is still in there, but it doesn't work. (A convo opens, but the conversations options do not actually work) And there are a ton of map properties that simply sit idle and don't appear to do anything, as well as clicking an NPC slot in the properties needs to be done several times or you can't edit it. (it deselects it?)

And for map properties, i am planning to make them all, so i do not removed them from map editor.

[Joyce]

Ah, my bad. I misread that post. (There's no blank space between the two lists, so I just skimmed over them as if it were one)

[Guest]

Oh hey look another one of those projects to fix Eclipse that don't actually do anything worthwhile enough to call Eclipse "fixed".

[Rob Janes]

@Deathbeam, not knocking you bud, but why not finish Eclipse Advanced?

[Guest]

You should re write this engine in .net!!! That would be revolutionary
