Eclipse Mega Questions

[omerg7]

Hello, i recently downloaded eclipse mega and i have a few questions:

1.when i play eclipse mega, i don't have any buttons on my screen and equipment\items and such can be opened only by pressing E or I. how can i make a screen for buttons(opened by click)?

2.is there any way i can add Altars' quest system (the newest one.) and add a shortcut for it to show up when "q" is pressed?

3.When my friend tries to enter the game, the seconds he lunches it it shows him the messege: "the program can't start because dx8vb.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." is there any fix to it? (he installed eclipse runtime. is it important that he will install the runtime as adminstrator?)

4\. one more thing, i recently opened a topic about hosting my server called "mapping and hosting", if anyone can help me there it'll really help me.

that's it - thanks for answering,

1.are you missing your button gui?

2\. you will need to do changes to his quests system

3\. he needs to download dx8vb.dll

4\. I will take a look

thank you for your very quick answer!

but i still didn't quite understand.

1.i checked in my files and i saw there a very nice window and gui of buttons but in the game, it's just not there (i downloaded eclipse mega from the offical topic version 1.07 a couple of days ago)

2.i understand that i need to do changes, but this is easy or even possible.

3.how can he download dx8vb.dll? do you have a link? is it safe? where should he put it?

4.thanks

i hope you can help me,

3\. google is your friend, of course it's safe, he needs to put it in the System32 or SysWOW64 folder depending on the bit display he has(32(x86) bit or 64(x128) bit

thank you for the answer for 3, can you give me a safe dl. maybe one you already tried?

[highonpaint]

1\. can you post a screeny please

2\. it is if you know what to do 

3.yes just type it in on google

please look for the answers too as you learning yourself will help you, instead of us telling you 

[Growlith1223]

goto http://crystalshire.com and download the game, there should be a file in the Zip called Setup.exe, click that and it will install the require runtimes to run the game.

1) You can add the buttons back in, I took them out due to them really having no point and just taking up space on the screen and another thing needed to be rendered and checked for on mouse clicks. I did not completely remove them from the EM source however as it's a test right now before I decide if I'll add them back in or completely remove them. The file is still in the GUI folder and I believe everything is still in the source for it except the rendering code and initial loading of the graphic file for the menu and each button. You can look back in an old version of EA or an old version of EM (if you still have one) and re-add it in very easily if you wish.

2) If you want to add Alatars quest system into EM, you can do everything in his tutorial except will have to work out the graphics system to work with DX8 and the rendering used in EM (Unless you want it to look really ugly and do the default setup from the old rendering). To add the button and keyboard shortcut for the Quest Log once added in, just look at the code already used for the keyboard shortcuts and rendering and you can figure it out very easily.

3) Thats nothing to do with EM, your friend was missing one of the dll's needed for dx8 so didn't install the correct runtimes or installed them incorrectly.

Thank you very much for you answers! i'll try to do that!

P.S i told my friend to install the setup from crystal shire.com as advised by Growlith1223, and the game now works for him.

Edit: can you tell me in which file i can find the graphic code or i can i add the buttons? i couldn't find any way to add the buttons.

[omerg7]

sorry for double posting, but i got another important question:

how do i remove the feature that on dying player loses all of his items? i want him to lose only exp.

and of course my edited questio (look up)

Thank you for answers!

[Ertzel]

The graphics folder is in the Data Files folder in the client.

For changing the dying stuff - Look in sub onDeath in the server-source.

Thank you, but how do I place the gui ?

I tried to add picbox but it just doesn't shown on screen. How can I place it?

[Ertzel]

I have no idea what your asking about as you only said you tried to add a picturebox…

If your talking about trying to do something with the quest system, just download the newest EM as it now has the quest system in it.

thank you for quick answer!

i've downloaded the new eclipse mega system, and now i have a question, can i add my maps from mega 1.07 to this one?

and also, what i wanted to say, that i tried to add pic box to add the gui back (the buttons on the top right). and i wanted to ask your help to do it? where can i add the code for it

?

P.S your eclipse version is the best, i hope you will keep developing it!

[Ertzel]

The problem is, the old menu never used a picturebox, it was rendered to the screen…. But if you where doing it with a picturebox, I cannot see how it would not be visible unless you set it's visibility to false.

Maps from 1.0.7 should work in 0.8, I don't think I changed anything to do with maps....

thank you for answering. i checked and it works in 1.08.

now i have 2 new questions(OFC)

1.how do i make eclispe mega full screen? i need to erase all my maps for that? can't i just double the screen as it is or something?

2.how do i create guild? or as a player, where can i create guild?

thank you for keeping answering my questions.

[Ertzel]

Not sure how to make it full-screen, as far as I know there is no tutorial for that with Eclipse.

As for making a guild, when logged in type /guild help. That will show you in your chat the guild commands.

To make a guild though you type /guild make guildname guildtag - (Replace guildname and guildtag with what you want them to be)

thank you, it's now working. if i'll have another question i'll will write soon. thank you for all of your answers!

Edit: how do i erase existing guild?

[Ertzel]

To disband a guild you are in, if you are the guild leader type /guild disband yes

If you are not the guild leader and just want to leave your guild type /guild leave

If you just want to erase a guild from your game as the owner, just remove the guilds file in the guild folder sever-side.

thank you very much for your answers. i'll edit or replay if i will have more questions. thank you anyway for all of your answers.

Edit(Again): How do i pic screen? the picture map button just creates withe blank picture. how di i use it?

[Ertzel]

Screenshots are broken in all versions using this rendering system, I haven't figured out a fix for it yet and don't think anyone else has either.

> Screenshots are broken in all versions using this rendering system, I haven't figured out a fix for it yet and don't think anyone else has either.

okay, thank you. i'll just picture it with print screen if needed. another question: can i change the max level?

[Ertzel]

look for the constant MAX_LEVEL and change it's value client and server-side.

[omerg7]

> look for the constant MAX_LEVEL and change it's value client and server-side.

is there any limit for it? do you know what is the highest level possible?

thanks again
