Forum :: Client Editing :: new Endless client made in allegro 4

I couldn't find the animations in that download :( The animations are simple with allegro anyways

Say the Bitmap was stored in my_bmp then the following will determin if it's an animation strip

if (my_bmp->w > 64)

{

    // Crop the image and display the current animation frame.

    // Use timers and an Integer to determin the current frame.

}

Sorry I have no code there for really doing the cropping ect but I will do soon as I'm working on it now :)

P.S: I have contacted LennyLen about a bug with Load_PE_bmp as it won't load 8bit bmp's and some of the tiles are in 8bit. He is kindly adding an 8bit loader to it now and I will let you know when it's done as we are talking about it on my Allegro inbox.

well i quit with animation because i thought i had some more important things to do first

like .egf i think i will make my own map files for it they will look like: https://tehsausage.com/paste/188f

probably just in a config because i shouldnt know how to make it like .emf

I would recomend you don't do it like that. If you wan't to really make you're own map types then think of what you want to add into it and write/read bytes instead. :)

true, but i thought its better to start easy now

ok :) Don't get into bad habbits though as it might make it harder for you to edit later on.

Wow, Looked at this, i'm impressed what you can do. Very nice very nice. 

thank you microchip :)

i maybe start over in VB because jimmyee said it was better to use for the project i wanna have.

but i will finish this first i got the eomap src so it should be possible to make them load from .egf and load them from .emf files and i think everyone will prefer that because than it would be a real eo-clone

I've started working on one myself now so let's see how it goes. Keep up the work on your's and If you need help with anything then ask :)

Have you asked Sausages permission btw? I have and I have the permission to use the code from EO.Alt. I'm not using it atm as I'm using Load_PE_bmp but I am however going to look at how it was done by Sausage and try to use some of that.

Did you add any other features or anything to this client?

Since it's not done, do you plan to :P

well i fixed the most things like FPS and i only added equipment but when i finished the toturial about winsock i can start on make it connect to the server engine i will start editing eoserv for it :)

the VB version is just a project that i will do after this is done

You could just make you're own server when you learn the Sockets.

I know and probably the first version just got a really easy server engine.

but maybe in the future i can add it for eoserv ^^

FPS is more important than most people think. No way in hell i'm playing a client that gets less FPS than EO. If it has high FPS and still works good, then your client is okay with me.

EO has 4 frames and the map moves by so much in each frame making it kinda blocky. The way I did it to be like EO in the first place was to move them map 2 times per animation frame

Frames 4
Move Frames 8

Works Perfectly like that :)
