| So i fixed my blting errors FINALLY! I'm so dumb it's almost hilarious. With 32x64 sprites we usually have to blt the top 32x32 and the bottom 32x32, at least thats how I have done it in my source, and probably how most other people do it too. With the helmets, I had them set on the paperdoll sprite... |

What are you using to connect, IE: port etc.
And are you using a router by any chance? If so, have you forwarded the port you are using for mirage?
Also, in you joingame sub, uncomment the LOGINOK send!  |

| Because, without it the text alwasy appears 32 pixels to far to the right. I don't know why, but it works for every length of name i've tried it with. I've never been one for math lol |

But I believe the helmet is trying to blit off of the viewable surface, and being dropped all together. If you modify the rect using a DD Clipper (forgot the exact name?) you should be able to do it ok.
Thanks i'll try that |

Code: Private Sub CHATBOXNAME_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Call HandleKeypresses(KeyAscii)
If MyText = "" Then CHATBOXNAME.Text = ""
End Sub
That should work, change CHATBOXNAME to the name of your chat box. Any problems, ask. |

| So I've not gotten into blting stuff too much. I managed to make a pretty good paperdoll system from scratch and so far it's gone okay, except this one thing... lol When you are on the first tile of the map, as in Y=0, helmet's don't seem to work out :roll:. I'm not even sure it can be fixed but her... |

I could see this going in a comic-style rpg. Not sure how it will work with an MS game but given a really cool sprite set and tiles, it could work  |

Anyways, I had never come across it before until now, for whatever reason, so I figured I'd post it anyway.
Edited post to have link from the other topic as well. verrigan had a different fix for it. |

| I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but it seems to be a small bug with the vanilla MSE1. Basically what happens is when more than one person is online, on the same map, and someone logs off or gets booted, the map stops processing npc movement. So, server side, find this: Sub LeftGame(ByVal In... |
