 | Do you generate those shadows on the fly or do they have to be pre-created?
In any case, looks like a cut above the average glut of rpg tile engines, so good job, keep it up =)  Yeah, good job Kain. And Peter, I am pretty sure it is rendered real-time, kind of like this: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=47718&lngWId=1#zip There created real-time, and thankyou. Reading GFX Positions from ini is bad.
The ReadField Function won't work on all regional settings.
The rest looks nice, and got nice effects.
Good Work Thanks, I have devised a fix for the problem, I will work out percentages during load time..will slightly decrease initial load, but will stop these annoying tile loading errors occuring. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
