| Please read before posting any comments that may be taken as 'flame-bait', and please, if you have the urge to flame someone, PM them and try to keep the forum clean... it really doesn't make anyone look good, or better than the person they decide to flame. It is pointless and annoying for everyone... |

(good assumption! it sends their sprite, if you have paperdoll it sends what they're wearing, and a few other things)
Thanks for the reply as well... i assumed i'd have to do something like that, i just wanted to make sure it was one of the best ways of doing it. Thanks for the confirmation!  |

| Okay i just recently (in the last 4 hours or so), started working on a new type of map system. There is 1 horrendously large map, and tiles are loaded/destroyed as you move, so the entire game is just 1 map. I was going through it, and i got a lot of really good ideas on how to handle the different ... |

| Okay right now, for NPCs everytime they're supposed to start moving, the server does a for i = 1 to max_maps, then inside of that it does a for x = 1 to max_map_npcs (or something like that).... wouldn't it be much better... to use a multi-dimensional array, to store the NPCs location (map, x/y), so... |

| i'm not really doing it to protect my graphics, my tiles aren't a complete set. they're individual based on what they are. each tile, also has binary data with it. Now it's not difficult to store both the picture and binary data that goes along with it. I just don't want like... 500 individual image... |

| I was wondering if there was a program that could store a bunch of other graphics and/or files into a single file, but couldn't easily be ripped apart (e.g., using winzip). I'm redoing a lot of my game system, and i wanted to store the majority of info in 1 file. I thought about searching PSCode, bu... |

| Right now, you have an "attribute" that is saved as Type (a byte), check your "Type TileRec", you'll see... Type as Byte. If you want multiple attributes, my suggestion would be to make a Type2 as Byte, or Even Type2 and 3 depending on how many you want to do. Then, just set the ... |
