  1. Sure, if you dont mind your players being required to run the server when they want to play then that's fine....
  2. There is no single player version of Intersect at this time. It's something I'd like to someday offer but probably won't happen for years to come.
  3. It might also help to have a screenshot of the spell configs. (Even if they're nothing special) It could save us a few minutes by having them or give us a better idea of where to start looking for the problem.
  4. VB6 was released in mid 1998. VB.Net (it's successor) along with the first version of the .Net Framework was released in 2002. Visual Basic 6 support was ended by Microsoft in April 2008. By choosing ResBak (or any Eclipse engine) over Intersect, or any other engine developed in modern programming languages your shooting yourself in the foot. Your players have to download and install runtime files which often do not register correctly or get picked up by antivirus programs. (If you're players have to work to get your game to run then you won't have many players!) Your committing to a buggy engine that isn't supported anywhere! (No one can/will help with this engine - the creators of this version are long gone and they had years of experience beyond today's active Eclipse devs!) Installing VB6 on Windows 8+ is brutally difficult and requires finding guides online on how to force the install or download sketchy 3rd party software to get it to work.. Not to mention you have to illegally download it to begin with because obtaining a legal copy is difficult to say the least. Assuming you actually get a game designed you can only host on windows.... (windows servers costs more than linux) VB6 applications are single threaded! Have an awesome 4, 8, or 16 core processor on your server, guess what, you can only use one! Due to all VB6 apps being 32bit, your client and server are limited to using 4GB of ram no matter how much ram your machine has available. This would ultimately mean that you have to shrink your world or separate your players to get around this. (Not really MMO material) Like all Eclipse engines security wasn't considered whatsoever. As a result, passwords and account info are transmitted and stored in plain text. (Yuck!) If your server machine, or your players' computers have been on for more than 24 days or so the game won't work at all due to your internal tick counts reaching too high of values. Eclipse games will never ever have the possibility of running on a non-windows operating system. A salty 12 year old can take down your game with little to no effort. This is a good resource to have available, it's great to look at for inspiration, and there are a lot of good ideas there. In reality though, this is too buggy to use for any project, is far too dated, will not have any support available from anywhere without a very large pocket book and even if none of that were an issue it has too many limitations to ever be more than a small ORPG for a small player base. @Own: Good luck with your exploration. I am locking this thread though... we don't need to keep bringing it up to the surface.
  5. Might be able to convince @panda to do it. I personally don't think it's worth the extra coding effort given how easy it is to use a fake email address regardless (http://www.fakemailgenerator.com)
  6. @QufitMOV, sorry, what you're asking for is not possible at this time unless you want to modify the background image to have text showing some news. You can also change the credits window to be news like Arcwyre did. Check out credits.xml in the client/resources folder and rename credits to news in the client/Reources/languages folder. Please keep in mind that we DO have a rule against excessive text decoration. You don't need to center and bold your posts for no reason. Here's the rule for anyone interested: https://www.ascensiongamedev.com/rules/#post_decoration @PhenomenalDev and @K its a much greater offense to backseat moderate. And even greater offense to derail a topic. Unless you have the blue name use the report button. I'm hiding all of the off topic posts.
  7. And there's your best answer
  8. Virtual machines run on your computers and would require an expensive windows license for each instance.
  9. No, our editor will never work on Linux unless you run a windows virtual machine inside linux which would entirely defeat the purpose.
  10. https://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/docs/en/Welcome.html#page_Cross-Platform-Compatibility
  11. You have zero chance of running the editor through wine.
  12. Also make sure the spell is self cast and the friendly checkbox is checked.
  13. Not possible. There are no plans to support extra platforms at this time. Intersect games can be played on Windows, Linux, and OSX.
  14. I've been required to use Teamwork for my IRL job and have grown rather fond of it. Might be worth checking out. https://www.teamwork.com/
  15. Keep the pdb files!
  16. Making the tilesets are as simple as opening Paint, Gimp, or any other editing program and placing pixels within an image. Save your tileset as a png file. Place your tilesets in the Client and Editor/Resources/Tilesets for use.
  17. Diablo 2 looks like it's isometric, so I'm gonna say no. Yes, you can allow other computers on your local network connect to your server.
  18. Nope, won't be possible until after the source is released, sorry!
  19. Have multiple sprites with different hair styles in your client/resources/entities folder: Then in the class editor add those sprites as options:
  20. The alignment value of the PlayerBox (Top, Left) overrides the X value. Remove the alignment or change the alignment distance X value to achieve what you want.
  21. The "DropIndex" is how to you change to different drops right now. If DropIndex 1 has Item (Gold x 10 with a 50% chance) and DropIndex 2 has Item (Sword x1 with a 100% chance) then when you kill the NPC it will drop 1 sword and has a 50% chance of dropping 10 gold. We're making this easier in Beta 5.
  22. Panda misspoke. Without a quick source edit it can only be relocated within the player's entity box.

  24. Events are bound to players only. Npcs cannot activate events. Only players can. Common event spells will not work when the Npc casts them.
