If you have an idea, chances are pretty high that someone else has had it as well at least once before. :P An idea is different than actually doing it. And doing it successfully is different as well. :3 People have tried to fly throughout recorded time, but it didn't actually happen until 1783. (Ho...

That's how it's set up originally. It basically resets the entire tile surface you're using, which saves a significant amount of memory.

Using Giaken's clipping code, I'm trying to modify it a bit to work with Advocate/Matt's dynamic maps version of MS4. The X clipping works fine as: ' Is player's X more than max map values..? If X + (DDSD_Sprite(Sprite).lWidth / 12) > MAX_MAPX * 32 + 32 Then With rec .Right = .Right - ((Map.MaxX / 2...

I started using miragesource 3.0.3 shortly after leaving PW-based games. 3.0.7 wasn't out yet. >.>; Making games was just a high-school hobby for me back when I was fourteen.

First project was Dragon Realm Online--a game that had around 10~14 active players each night at peak hour.

I think quite a few of us are here to learn. Even from these advertisements, ideas can begin and be utilized in a different form in other games and engines.

You'd have to be pretty badass to block with a shield while readying a bow in your hands, so yeah, makes sense.

True. Perhaps for those who do go with plan A, a system of "traps" could be used to temporarily bind a target in place, or to just force them to think for a few seconds on a way to maneuver out of the trap without getting harmed. Either way, those few seconds can make or break the differen...

I honestly prefer method A, and I'm sure there are methods to alter the speed of the damaging projectile depending on the weapon type. For instance, a crossbow bolt would generally be shot faster than an arrow. By having faster attacks with a ranged weapon, you can increase the chance of your target...

One problem I did notice was that the map name doesn't draw properly--this causes it to just stay where it was on the original sized map. I fixed it by changing: ' Draw map name Call DrawText(TexthDC, DrawMapNameX, DrawMapNameY, Map.Name, DrawMapNameColor) To: ' Draw map name Call DrawText(TexthDC, ...

Basically--be open to suggestions and try to keep the OP updated as much as possible with your new ideas. It'll inspire others in the community for ideas in their own projects, as well as bring about a chance of allowing others to mingle with you and this game more freely. From there, they can regis...

Nah.

It works beautifully.

I was going to write in seamless for MS4, but this works a ton better since you don't have to make excess maps for filling in the black spots.
