| On a side note, I would like to thank you for your ORPG Design & Theory Guide. It's helped be countless times throughout these past few months during which I've been introduced to programming. No problem. Glad it was helpful to someone. :) I did not know you had a new version. It looks nice! Do... |

NetGore comes with a large amount of the fundamental MMORPG components built in which allows you to focus more on designing your game. http://www.netgore.com/me... |

| Drag queens dress in woman's clothing primarily for the purpose of entertainment. A cross dresser is a guy who just dresses in woman's clothing for whatever other reason. So unless he just dresses up for us, which would probably be a bit more disturbing, I think a more proper term would be cross dre... |

| I am using TCP, but somehow they are not. That's reeeealy weird. Impossible. If you are dropping or receiving messages out of order in TCP, your implementation is flawed. As for Nagling, it is nothing more than a buffer for queueing data to send. It will increase latency but also decrease bandwidth... |

| Is there a function to get how many items are in an enum? Nope. Most languages do not have this without some form of reflection / metacoding. Also, Enums are, in most languages (I believe), a collection of constants. The only difference between: enum X a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 end enum and X_a = 1 X_b = 2... |

Not in VB6 they ain't. If you take away polymorphism, modularity (interfaces), and inheritance, you have a really shitty object. |

| You can always use the control GUI editors from other languages, like the C# or VB.NET one, then just copy over the locations. Not too convenient, I know, but it does get the job done pretty well. Its how I design all my in-game GUIs that are not control based. |

| No, not is not. Your rendering time is still random in context with the rest of the program. You want to render in order - its not about performance, its not about thread safety, its just about logic. You can mix in updates with rendering at times (although its a bit harder to follow and not very we... |

| I don't quite exactly get what you're asking, but if you want to render from an external loop, its not going to work well. All your rendering needs to be done in the same loop to ensure you render in the correct order and every frame. Now if you want to use the timer to modify how stuff is rendered,... |

Instead of such a huge time limit, I think it'd be more reasonable to increase the requirements as you add more stuff to the skill. In fact, time limit might be something you should be able ... |

| Even if you get multithreading working in VB6, it is very poor. For one, the IDE does not support it so it will make debugging hell. vbGORE, for instance, if you just press the stop button, it can crash the whole IDE since GOREsock uses subthreading. VB6 also completely lacks the kind of debugging t... |

| Well if you have to register the files, theres a good chance you'll be needing to move them into the system32 folder, checking if a newer version of the file exists, etc. |
