Ok I uploaded the new version. It was a bit rushed, but hopefully everything is in there.

Very nicely done with the visual inventory! very impressive (well to me anyways :roll: )

I'll have to download it tomorrow and check out this one.

BTW, any chance of you doing visual spells and shops? or will i have to figure out how to do that :P

Thank you labmonkey.

I do have a question though on mapping, i cant seem to add "trees" for example with the background of a "tree" tile transparent on the map.
none of the options worked when trying to add it. lol another example is trying to add a sign and on the little sign tile the background is blue,
but when i try using "mask" fringe" etc..etc.. it adds the entire tile, not as it is supposed to, without adding the background.

is this normal? unfinished? or am i doing something wrong. lol.

The transparency is set based on the most top,left pixel on the tileset. I'd say to try opening up paint, and refill all the black (or whatever the most common background color is) with something like bright green or something.

Not positive that this is the problem, but it could be.

@Rian, i tried it with light green, black, dark green, red, and the default blue, all the same results.
also i tried adding a tile set from breeze revolution and got spamming in the chat box with

Code:
Error rendering graphics: The provided rectangle was invalid.


and it would not stop until i logged out of the game or changed the tile set back to the default one on the map editor.
im a bit confused :)

It may be a problem with the dynamic tilesheet size. It was kind of rushed, as I had to go right after I made this release. When I get back later today I will redo that, and also write a tutorial for it.

Alright sounds good, but why write a tutorial for it if your just going to fix it?

For those who use regular MS4, perhaps?

This version has Robin's dynamic sprite sizes and a much better version of my dynamic width code. Remember to try the test server at 98.109.137.143

The leftgame sub, server side, you need to add a 0 or w/e to it.

please excuse my ignorance but how does Robins dynamic map sizes work? Do you just have to chance MAX_MAPX & Y?

and i saw a slight bug, whenever i made a NPC with the 96x96 size sprite, and i killed it, when it spawned and tried to move right, some of the Sprite was being clipped off.

Same amount of 0's as data in every other packet with the same header?

sorry, I meant dynamic sprite sizes. And I thought I fixed the clipping. strange.

But anyway, robin's dynamic sprite sizes don't work well with fringe and really big sprites. It is only really suggested that you use it for a max of 64 height (2x pic_y if you change it from 32)

I never release all the parts of a feature in a tutorial.

Dynamic sprites work, but you'll need to add your own handler for off-screen rendering.

Labmonkey, remove all those .obj files. They're temporary files created when compiling.

I posted my clipper code in Robin's topic.

Post subject:  Re: Feature-Rich Version

I thought I already explained this to you. The problem you are having with fringe is because the breeze tileset you are using is not formatted correctly for mirage. You need to make the tile in the upper left corner completely black.

I need some more detail to fix the other problem you are having. Have you changed anything in the engine before connecting to my server (ie, using breeze graphics)?

Author:  Jared [ Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:53 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Feature-Rich Version

lol, it did not work for your default, the latest release i just downloaded and loaded up. i did not add anything. nor did i change anything.
and that screenshot with the error, only occurs when trying to connect to your test server.

I duplicated exactly what you did and got no errors. Fringe also worked. Are you sure you know how to use layers?
