you could tell me why this slow movements of the character like a "lag". Within the map editor it is normal, I realize the npcs but to exit the editor happen again this "lag".

I'll have to take a look at it later. Thanks for the heads up.

New License
The engine is now under GPL license. This means you cannot change the license, but you may make any game you wish with it as long as you do not redistribute the engine elsewhere such as a forum or community not to people who work on your game obviously. The engine is the form of the uncompiled form, if you compile the engine you may redistribute it to your players anywhere you wish.

Credits
I've updated the credits also with all the contributors of the engine going back 4 years. This engine has been worked on/off for around the time of Robin's Amazing Package (another engine). I just picked it back up and finished it about a year ago. Although, a work is never truly finished, but when the time where the work put in no longer has considerable results, then you of course just stop working on it.

I will release 1.2.5 in 3-5 weeks with the rest of the bugs fixed that I am aware of.

• Quest system finished and upgraded from the code Brandon committed to Nin Online, as well as me upgrading it with bug fixes and these changes of course will be reflected to Nin Online as well.
• NPC spells fixed.
• Misc. stuff.

1.3.0 will feature a new interface completely done which will be out in 2-3 months.

• DirectX8 UI no longer using VB forms.
• Guild system maybe finished.
• Misc. stuff.

To accelerate the process will require more donations though, otherwise you'll have to wait.

 

[whitespirits123]

The main thing needed is sprite attack animations and visual equipment, for example adding a folder in graphics and if u have a sprite named hero1 in the new folder you make hero1_attack for example and when you attack it plays that sprite, same for visual equipment example hero1_armor1, is this doable?

 

[lecsrox]

Hey seth and whitespirits123,it is very important how to use suffixes for the animations, it would be possible? if I'm not mistaken is called the paper doll VE used in eclipse but do not know how to make these sprites attack or for each type of cast spells. it would be nice to see this engine because we can create games with better animations.

An important point is the map editor (create maps) this very precarious and hamper the development too, but are very good development that is bringing us and I am following with great joy.

Sorry for my bad english :x

Introduction
Okay guys. This is what is going to happen from here on out. The source will no longer be available as part of the normal package, you must check it out using Git or download it on my site. If you want to speed up updates please donate to me on my site by buying Gold Member. Other than that, if you keep begging for new features I am going to have to say that I got more important items on my list to do. If you want your wishes granted, you should consider investing into the engine instead of just begging for things.

1.2.5 Beta
This beta does not have NPC spells fixed and quests have been disabled as well as guilds! They will be implemented later. I do not know if I will bother to fix them anytime soon, because I am busy with Nin Online. 1.2.5 release may be several weeks away depending upon people's reaction to the beta.

The beta will only be the client and server compiles. You must download them both and replace your files accordingly! No general support will be given, I will only listen to people who post on my

You must be registered to see links

about their bugs with the beta. I will not listen on this site any longer other than general feedback. Bugs or feature requests should not be posted here. I am done listening to these type of posts.

Conclusion
I am pretty confident that this beta is now more stable than all other Eclipse Origins engines out. If you agree please feel free to share your experiences. This is a beta only cause NPC spells and quests/guilds are not fixed. I plan on fixing them for the complete 1.2.5 release instead of releasing it in a 1.2.6 release.
