Ertzel Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ya, I wouldn't add that tutorial to EM especially cuz at the top it mentions how slow it can make your game run…. If I ever get a working Windows machine again and can work on EM once I work on or fail at my container system I'll probably write a tutorial for some sort of crafting system.

Kermit Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The only thing that would make this version perfect for me is if the ability for multiple item drops were added to the NPC edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sadly, I have that added in the current developmental version of EM on my PC but cannot access it as my PC is currently fumed…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl8 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 as players can trade with each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 According to some people the trade system doesn't seem to be either sending to the server correctly or being processed server side correctly as it's not working. I can't bug fix it since I can't log into a game and actually test fixes and didn't find anything that just stood out in the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ertzel Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't think with the current version its really removed all that much. From what I remember the only part removed is that I commented out the DrawMenu call or w/e it is and removed the checks for button interaction on the menu icons.

dynamixcore Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah i uncommented from DrawGUI and under the input uncommented the mouseup mousedown mousemove for GUI_menu, What i get is the buttons appearing but no mouseover effect or ability to click the buttons.btw, Thanks for responding!

Ertzel Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I may have actually removed those commands, I don't really remember. Look at a version of like EA or something that has the menu and try to find the missing code if you want it back in.I still hate the menu and it annoys me so I will never be adding it back into EM's default download and have completely removed all of the code related to it for the next version.

Ganjika Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Ertzel connected to me view teamviewer and he did a bunch to fix the EM engine, Quests still looks bugged but I'm sure he will make a release once he gets enough done to put something out. Just want to thank Ertzel for his help and contributions to the community - just pm me with whenever you would want to teamview again. Looks epic s far! =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmng14 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 How do i enable the req in spells? From what i see, the code is still there but the req setting is now unclickable. How do i change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Right now in the current version spell req's are bugged. In the next version it has been fixed and now you only set it through the item used to get the spell and it has been removed from the spell itself.

Ertzel Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Not quite sure, still trying to fix the quest bug.

Eclipse Advanced v3.0.17>! Biggest part of this update is Developer suite. What is it? So i give you now some food fo your mind if you are game developer. Why you are giving normal players of your game access to all your editors in exe file? So for these reasons in this version of EA i made 2 Exes. One is called Developer suite, and it has all editors etc, but only when player access is highter than normal, he can login to that suite. And another exe is normal version, but without all editors. So to your normal players, give this normal exe, and for mods etc give them Developer Suite.>! Another thing what i added is new Map Report and i fixed some event system bugs.>!

My event system do not have support for Parallel events or Move Routes, but it have all other commands from JCs one and some additional commands too.

Ertzel Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 That info is based on the current version of EA though, EM is based off of EA 3.0.13 which is very different from the current EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think I am going to remake EM but using a fresh EO 2.0 as the base. I want to remove all of the buggy stuff in the back end coding of EM's base and also go back to the old rendering format. The old rendering format is not one I would rather use, but is one I will have to use if I wish to continue coding through a virtual machine since my PC is still broken and the virtual box cannot render DX8 shit but can render the old style.If I do start a new project using EO 2.0 as a base, I will make a new quest system that will be a mix of JC's event system and the current quest system in EM but written by scratch this time and not using JC's or Alatars systems as bases, but rather as examples. There are also a few things I wish to do that are a lot easier and will not duck with the performance nearly as much using the old rendering over DX8\. If/when I start this new project I will be locking this thread as I can't work on EM anymore and will be creating a new one once I have enough done to require the thread.
