tslusny Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 > Just a word about his lower RAM consumption, it's an idea Joyce, Magical Magical Magical Aeroplane and Champion Iris came up with earlier today. It basically consists of a very simple thing Snider missed when writing his D3D8 sub: Mipmaps, I will not go into technical detail on what they are, as they are simply not required for 2D game environments such as Eclipse, but I will tell that having them enabled loads additional data in your memory, which can lead to some wasted memory space.. It's been disabled in a little project I'm part of, and Death is taking that code and adding it.Maybe i will add it but i am thinking about dumping textures too but it can lead to automation errors like in CS:DE, and if i add it i will credit you dont worry and i will add link from where i get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I would highly suggest you add it regardless. It's a minor oversight that in some cases can save quite a bit of memory, especially to those loading in a LOT of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephiroth976 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Something you might wanna look intoI agree with Agoraphobic, the tooltips should include the description too, especially since the stats doesnt seem to work rightWeapons will show damage and speed but wont show if theres any added stats like int+ or str+Armors and others will not show anything, not how much defense and not additional stat boosts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agoraphobic Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That would be nice Deathbeam, I wouldn't have any complaints about alt clicking an item for a description and any other stuff one needs to know.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exception Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Disabling MipMaps is as simple as adding ".SetTextureStageState 0, D3DTSS_MIPFILTER, D3DTEXF_NONE" in InitDX8 and DirectX_ReInit.It decreased my memory consumption by about 45K, from 55K to 10K of memory.

Castar Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The Unrecoverable error's gone?! Thank you so much, I'm definitely checking out the new version tomorrow  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agoraphobic Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Looks good so far, however the item descriptions are broken. It's assigning the wrong item description to each item or it's missing all together.It would be nice if Spells had descriptions assigned to them as well.The light blue text is very hard to read in the chat box unless you select it. It might look nicer with a tool tip window popping up instead of going into the chat box.The Dx error is gone, which is great. Just noticed if you're typing in the chat box in the game and hold down the Tab key it makes squares in the chat box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eevee204 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 > Add in the new version of the system of quests and pets please.Do it yourself, it's basic stuff, there is a guide on a quest system if you really need to add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevee204 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If it's okay with DeathBeam, I'll write out a tutorial myself on how to add in the Quest system, I'm not sure what he is working on at the minute but I've almost finished it adding it into mine, if someone can provide me with nice graphics I'd be happy to create a tutorial on how to make a transparent interface for the quest system.

I will new version later becouse my net disconnected for a while so uploading crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agoraphobic Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Did you fix where item descriptions are messed up? They item description is getting paired wrong with the item or it says no description is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
