Well, my submarine game was alted due the lacking of skills of mine during that time... Now I could actualy do it but am too much exciting with my RPG game... This RPG game consistes in huge 2D maps to explore... fight monsters, complete quests and achieve your main ojective. But the best thing of all is that any person will be able to create unlimited monsters, maps, historylines. That is, what I am creating it's a kind "RPG Maker", but with graphics and diferent gameplay... With this "RPG maker" persons with no programming skills at all will be able to create totaly diferent games from classic mediaval RPGs to tactical Space Combat games. My first step, which is already underway it's to create the so called Game Editor, which is heavely helping to design the games features / gameplay... My Editor will add the ability of creating 2D maps with multi-layer support, (which is a thing that I recently finished implanting), create their own graphics from 32*32 to 256*256 images with transparancy support, load new maps when needed (like entering caves or houses) and creating a World map with day/night time system like fallout which will be the mains exploration role of the game with the ability of trigering an astronomic amount of events from. At the moment a user can choose to create from 5*5 to 500*500 tiles size map and build the a map.. well no Saving feature implanted yet.. but quite soon. The game's combat system will be inspared on Spectrum's Rebelstar and the great Fallout's where all units will have an certain amount of action points to spend on tasks during the unit's round... My dream since 16 years ago is to re-create a game like Rebelstar with my own rules, and, this might fit well on my current project... ...well, there is so much to describe of what is possible to do in the game and how does it plays. If there is interest enought let me know about it... If you also would like to see what it's made by now just add me at MSN: efiletahi@hotmail.com It will be a pleasure to share with you my work and to listen to your opinion...

Hi, I head over FMOD's oficial web site and I found it to be quite interesting... Still, I was wondering if you could post a small example project using FMOD playing some MP3 / wavs... Thanks alot...

Ok, this thread started more then half year ago... and I completed forgot it... So, am posting now... I would realy apreciate anyone that would like to give me some assistance in some RPG game am working on... Please, for any interest on this just post :)...

How can I draw a line from one point to another? Imagine that the starting point will be 100,100(x,y(pixels)) to the mouse click coordenates, let's say 345,201 and a line will be drawn from these two points. I can do this all right, but the problem is to make it animated, like seeing the line being drawn from x,y to xx,yy using a timer, so that a every tick will increase the lines size from the starting point to the target point... //each line represents a tick... (frame per second) //x,y means the starting point //xx,yy means the ending point // "----" means the line to be drawn x,y - xx,yy x,y -- xx,yy x,y --- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y ---- xx,yy x,y --- xx,yy x,y -- xx,yy x,y - xx,yy x,y xx,yy If using a line seems to be too tricky, at least I would like to know how to animate a "dot" from the too points... I guess this will involve Math.Cos / Match.P / Match.Atan / Math.Sin... Unfortunately my math skills stink... If there is someone kind enough to teach me this, please... :)

OMG! It was on! Now it works perfectly! Thank you penfold69 :) - THREAD SOLVED -

If so, could someone explain to me how can I execute code when double clicked on the Xceed grid's row? Yes, I also posted in the Xceed oficial forum, ppl answered me, but I can't make it work... If someone here uses Xceed let me know about it...

thank you very much.... yes, I was missing the damn "(image)" / "(bitmap")... It works perfectly now... Am creating an 2D map editor for some RPG am plannig to build, and yes, speed would be truly a needed as it gets a bit laggy when building a map with many tiles... For any curiosity about this project of mine, drop a line...

Hi, thanks for posting... I don't think I have understood your question.... Could you be more detailed? Is this query ur talking about the connection I use in both CR 10 and .NET CR editor? thanks

I have loaded some images into a Hashtable (myHashtable.add(["pic1"], Image.FromFile("path"))), the problem is that don't know how to use them once they are inside the Hashtable. I would like then to assign then to Image or Bitmap objects like: Bitmap picture = myHashtable["x"]; I tryed countless times the way I would assign them with no success... Any help trully apreciated... Also, is there a simplier way of loading images to memory (with key names support)?

What do you mean by this? This happens all the time! This is what I typicaly call "Trying to help!". If I think I can help someone even without being certain if my comments will be usefull at all I will do it, it worths to try. If am not sure what the original poster is talking about I will still respond him from what I understood and ask him to be more specifc in case it is needed. If the original poster says that it was not that he was talking about then I will say to him express his thoughts better next time... Listen, here is an example of a reply of mine to a folk that am not sure what was he talking about. I opened this thread of him by mistake when trying to click on own thread lol: www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=92232 That's ok. Am glad we can clearify things up like grown up persons. I also think that you're a good fellow. I have been reading yours posts of from quite long ago and learned many things with your acknowledge. ...and thanks for this info, really apreciate it!

Am not sure what are you trying to do but if your drawing lines using System.Drawing.Graphics there is a propperty about using anti-alias which I can't recall at the mommet:D Do a research on your .NET MSDN documentation and you will find it for sure...

Ahhh that was what I was looking for! Than you HJB417! It works like a charm :). Now I also know where can I define the image as embedded resource... - THREAD SOLVED -

I totaly agree with this. Well it's for a windows application. I did not mentioned this cooze, somehow, I thought, ppl would assume this unless I would say otherwise, as I think .NET plataform's is mainly target for windows applications development. As for the "embedded resource or assembly ressource" I don't realy know what are you talking about. If I knew and were more experience in programming on .NET plataform I would definately added more info on this thread regarding this subject. If you seek for many of my threads you will realise that most of them are somewhat detailed. I also believe that when ppl TRULY wan't to help they do it. Regardless the way the thread's author post (of course there is a certain degree of tolerance). At least this is what I do, but hey, we are all diferent persons with diferent points of views on things. And, what I think from all this is that you only post here because of my last phrase "Is it just me of this forum is dying". This phrase that also happens to be a fact IMHO from what I see since I'm hanging around here for quite long, even before I registered here, because, about an year ago this forums activiy was higher (much higher). I beliebe that now the WEB can supply ppl with most answers they seek regarding .NET programming. Now I can always see the same old threads in this forum's first page. A thing that did not happened an year before... From what I understand is if your will of helping me out would be truly genuine your effort of lecturing me with this sentence of yours: "Not everyone who frequents this forum has got the time and energy to request information from every post that doesn't bother to make itself clear in the first place, and even if they did you only waited 5 hours or so for an answer." ...could be much more apreciated and usefull by changing it to: "Well if your using embedded resource do this (...) otherwise, do this way (...) Sorry if you dislike any of part of this post, but, I say what I think and I love to share with ppl my opinion is most things, dispiting if my listener sells ice-creams or if he is the president of US or even if solving of my problem relies on your .NET programming experience. Cheers.

Is it just me or this forum is dying?

I mean, I can load and show a BMP picture from the hard disk, but, how can I do the same with BMP pictures I add to my Visual Studio .NET project? I do I access them? Thank you

Whenever I create a MySQL Crystal Report using the oficial Crystal Reports 10 something strange happens, the report will ONLY show the results that existed by the time I created the Crystal Report document, that is, no matter how many records I add or delete after in future, the report will only show me the same results! WHY? If I create the report using the standard (and poor) .NET CR Tool the report will work fine, even if I edit the report in the official Crystal Reports 10 and save it through it, It will always work! WHY? NOTE: Am using the same MySQL date base connection for both CR10 and .NET CR Thank for any info regarding this issue!

Hi PWnettle, tks for ur post. Of course I had my treeView full of nodes and of course I know I had to select one node first in order to the "supposely" this.myTreeView.SelectedNode property to work. The problem was when I selected a node with the mouse. A mouseUp or mouseClick event would trigger the following line of code once a node was selected: MessageBox.Show(this.treeView.SelectedNode.ToString()); Unfortunatly it would reads always NULL (after I select a node) and would give me the error I discribed in my first post, which I have no ideia why until I read your post! Now I know I have first to declare a TreeNode object to get the info from the TreeView.SelectedNode object :) Tks once more buddy! - THREAD CLOSED -

Hey buddy :D things are going fine. Glad to know you're still alive ;) Listen, where will I put the formula? Into the details section? Also, how to detect if a field is null in Crystal Reports syntax?

Am trying to make my treeView to select (check) automaticaly all the parent nodes from which the selected node belongs to, unfortunately, I'm having trouble to do this. For starters, I can't even retrieve the current selected node by using "this.myTreeView.SelectedNode" property. It keeps saying me that the "object was not set in an property index" or something like that. So, How can I say to the treeview to select all the parent nodes from the current selected one? Than you...

Hello, I need to transform some values of an MySQL DataTable query in Crystal Reports from 0 and 1 to "sim" and "não" (yes/no), that is, the report from Crystal Reports must exchange values 0 and 1 from some specific datafields to a costumized text value... Thank you for any possible help... "Help me Pendragon Kanob, you're my only hope"

Ok, tks buddies, it's working... - THREAD RESOLVED -

Ok, I just need to know the right syntax now... is this ok?: SELECT * FROM _tablename_ WHERE _columnName_ BETWEEN 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss' AND 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss' ???

I have searched to forum for answers but all solutions found fail to work... sSQLFilter = "WHERE datdoc >= #" + this.cbx_date1.Value + "# AND datdoc <= #" + this.cbx_date1.Value + "#"; sSQLFilter = "WHERE datdoc BETWEEN #" + this.cbx_date1.Value + "# AND #" + this.cbx_date1.Value + "#" It always throws me an Syntax error... Please aid... Thank you...

Is it possible in any how to force a row state to be "ADDED"? I need to mark as "ADDED" all imported rows from a DataTable to another one... Thanks.
