| Ah, yes, I've seen that picture somewhere before, lol. It happens because the backbuffer isn't cleared before the next frame gets blitted to it. The quick fix is popping this little bit of code into Sub GameLoop in both the dev and game clients. With rec .Top = 0 .Bottom = (MAX_MAPY + 1) * PIC_Y .Le... |

| I haven't had any experience running my source on a Vista based PC, so my suggestions are based on what I know of existing errors of this type on XP systems. My first suggestion would be to alter all the lines in Sub InitSurfaces in the Dev and Game clients from .ddsCaps.lCaps = DDSCAPS_OFFSCREENPLA... |

prefered the box at the top of the GUI in the first one (all the way across),
the icons look better (bottom right) now there's less of them, still can't decide if they aren't a shade too bright to blend in perfectly tho. |

I find it handy to add a zero list item before trying to populate the rest of it, try something like
Code: frmIndex.lstIndex.AddItem "None", 0
also helps when referencing the ListIndex, saves messing about with +1 and all that.  |

No problem, I'm glad that didn't put you off, best of luck with your game, any more problems just gimme a shout.
The 'Kill' and 'Fetch' type quests work okay, you'll have to add more quest types yourself. |

The thing is, I moved most of the forms in mirage over to picboxes and put them on t... |

Lol, looks like your not clearing your buffers properly.
I just added the optimized surfaces tutorial to Cerberus, 32FPS before the tutorial - an amazing 39FPS after. |

| So far I've got ideas for one more, it concentrates on the province of Thallingorn and relates to recent events to bring new players up to speed. Chances are, once the game is up and running it will only be relevant for about a month or so, new players gaining status in the gameworld will cause all ... |

| Can't really see anything wrong with it. I take it that you can start/finish a quest just by clicking on an NPC? If MapNpc(GetPlayerMap(index), i).X = X And MapNpc(GetPlayerMap(index), i).y = y Then Are the X's supposed to be upper case, this might cause a problem, but most likely you would have bee... |

Nice map, I'd use it in a game.
The small range of mountains in the north of the Bloodpine province would make a good single mountain, it's got that pointy sort of 'mountain' look about it. |
