Exception Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 **Sorry guys.**I'm pulling the public plug on Eclopti Rekindled. It was short lived, but it's got to a point where a certain other engine's creator is blatantly ripping from my project, and is claiming credit for it, even though it's fairly obvious that it was by either me or Stein.I'll share my private developments with a small bunch of people. Just PM me to get a private repository link. The public repository for both Eclopti and Eclopti Rekindled will be up until the 21st. Do whatever you like until then.I will finish the things I planned, for my own projects. **I just won't be sharing it with you**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Just some things to consider:- Multiplying instead of dividing.- Less longs, don't get rid of all of them, just less.- Make sure there are no variant functions/subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iscn Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Good luck champion. Is this going to based of the original eclipse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I understand where you are coming from in trying to develop this but in the end, the community is going to vote on what they officially want as the final version of eclipse and honestly, the majority of the users here are going to choose the engine with a quest and pet system over the engine that runs well on a windows 95 machine with 64mb of ram.Best of luck,JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy420Rich Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 As developers, that's true JC - But a game simply will not survive if the performance of that said game, is crap. I'd like to have an option for both in all honesty.Optimization based version and a piled feature version, then let the game developers choose what they would like to go with, at the end - We're still developing games for a target audience, any other thought would undermine the reason why we're creating in the first place.

erkro1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 > Good luck champion. Is this going to based of the original eclipse?From what I've seen its based on EO 2.0EDIT: Anyway, I LOVE these optimization project, so keep it up. ;DAlso, what is the CPU Usage and Memory Usage of a clean EO, so that we can compare it.

Synergy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just a thought.. I'm probably wrong, but if you're constantly loading and unloading textures, isn't that going to increase memory/CPU usage?I guess not, as the engine runs really well, but I would've thought that it might?

or3o Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks for restarting this, It was probably the most interesting project on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becouse it will hit really large if you have multiple tilesets etc. I tried only for fun removing rendertexture line from Render lower tilesets sub and it dropped from 30% to zero  (it was testing map with alot of different tilesets loaded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously with some crazy (or clever) mapping you could probably cause it to load and unload every texture so fast it might make it lag… But then, I think you'd have to be **_really_** trying for that to happen.

Joyce Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not sure what kind of CPU you're using there, but using 7 tilesets on a 50x50 map it runs at 3% cpu, and that's only when loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkcrow Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 i am really interested in your GUI class system. Are you gonna make custom controls (textboxes, labels, combo boxes etc.)? I started making my own once but i quited after 20 minutes due to lack of motivation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
