I don't know if it's strictly needed, but I guess it helps to not have conflicting sizes in the code.The map on the right side of the screen just stays black, and the tiles clip is I walk left and right.

clark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Did you adjusted the map x y in the "Map properties" (Admin Pannel) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hb420 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, I increased the map size via the map editor. I can still walk left and right across the map but the tiles are not displayed to the far right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkcrow Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 have you put any tiles in the far right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hb420 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Of course…Has anyone actually changed the game screen using only those 2 steps? Something is clearly missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Open Client with VB6Search for :```' Map constantsPublic Const MAX_MAPS As Long = 100Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 24Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 18Public Const MAP_MORAL_NONE As Byte = 0Public Const MAP_MORAL_SAFE As Byte = 1```You have to divide by 32 the resolution you want for example :1024 divided by 32 = 32768 divided by 32 = 18Then change this :```Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 24Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 18```By this :```Public Const MAX_MAPX As Byte = 32Public Const MAX_MAPY As Byte = 18```Also in the map propriety i changed the x and y value to 98 both (it's seem's to be the maximum with the changes , because 99 will hide your character it don't stop at the window borderActually i don't know if you should only do it for Client , but i suggest you to make it in the Server side too(Make a backup of your project before doing this it's working for me  )Complete procedure i did:[http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129413-eaand-others-map-size-changing/#entry851983](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/index.php?/topic/129413-eaand-others-map-size-changing/#entry851983)1 Bug detected:-The bottom looks weird i think you need to fix it in interface.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minipimp Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It runs so slow. It literally slows down my computer on loading the client, Which takes forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hb420 i was talking about the interface scaled at the left side once you change the resolution and the map size ^^Sinnix , i tryed again just to see if it works slowly but it don't , are you sure you are using the v.9 where the loading is increased ?

clark Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hmm That's weird are you using the same resolution as i said in the tutorial? i mean you did exactly like that? or maybe do you have alot of ressources etc ? i don't see the problem :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hey Guys don't blame the people who want things be added on the engine …The main reason to their ask is because everytime that there is an update (new version) of EA , we all need to replace the entire code manually in the Engine and that's long and waste our time ... remember when EA first started with alot of versions ... imagine if you had to add everything everytime ! wow !

Wait until it's near an end-state.* Keep track of your additions. Text-files are low in memory, and are useful for storing code snippets in.* Learn how to actually bloody code, so you can make converters, port the few changes over, etc, when needed.

I am doing this for free, so i cant spend all my time on this. I am working on my game too, so i dont have many time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
