     This is the same version of the game I submitted last time, but I've removed the timer and now it uses a while loop for character movement, so it runs MUCH faster.

I just resubmitted this, and it now 
runs much better.  I used a while loop 
to move / animate the character, and it 
runs much faster and more reliabley.

I'm not sure what that error is or how 
it is caused.  It could be that your 
not running VB6, I guess.  Also, I was 
wondering if anybody else has tried 
running this on a Pentium 2 266 or 
higher.  I'm using a while loop instead 
of a timer, so it might run too fast on 
faster systems.  Any feed back on this 
would be very helpful.

Rob, here's how you fix the Invalid Key 
errors.
Open up the .vbp fle in 
notepad. If it says "Retained" is an 
invalid key, you'd delete the line 
similar to Retained=0
If it says 
something else is an invalid key, you 
delete that line too. That's how you 
convert VB6 to VB5

Map Editor: when i am making a house 
and I place the black Object and it 
asks for "What does this door point 
to?" I have no Idea of what goes there, 
after typing something i get an error 
message "Error '13', type mismatch" 
then after clicking debug it gives me a 
line which i see no errors in "a = 
InputBox(" Where does this door point 
to?", "Map Editor")" RPG engine: ok 
here goes : you know when the character 
moves, and it goes to the top of the 
map it takes you to the next map, first 
of all it eats my 450 intel, and second 
i wanted to know if you could make all 
the maps load on startup so its smooth 
scrolling no load time when going 
between maps, i've probily lost you but 
anyway, just make all the maps connect 
at startup so all load time is in 
begging only, well if you have followed 
at all please mail me at 
'YoryAezel@aol.com',P.S please e-mail 
me if you can help me in anyway....

Everyonce in a while when I am walking 
around and it loads a new section of 
the map the game will basically freeze 
and wait a very long time before 
loading the new section.  I'm running a 
500 mhz 800x600 how can I fix this??

Nick: I'm working on having it load an 
entire area all at once (it'll display 
a little 'Loading...' message in the 
center screen while doing so) which 
should fix the problem if it stopping 
for a while when it loads a map.  I 
really didn't think that'd be a prolem; 
it loads each map in less then a second 
on my computer.
Also, the Map Editor 
isn't ment to be a working program yet, 
it's not really to the point where I'd 
consider it usable.  It won't be for a 
while, cause I'm more concerned with 
getting the actual engine up and 
running.
Also, almost got version 3 
ready to post... It's got much better 
graphics and a cool GUI with nice hand 
drawn character pics... I'll be posting 
it soon.

Hey guys......... Heres a cool way to 
get rid of the retained key that VB6 
leaves behind, without having to use 
notepad.
When you open the project, 
and you get the Retained Error, click 
yes and continue to load the project. 
If any OCX's aren't found keep 
loading.
Then be sure to reference 
any components that vb5 didn't pick up 
on.
then dave the project, and 
reload it!!
No notepad required.

I have a partically complete map editor 
that works with the format this source 
code uses, if anyone is interested.  
It's much nicer than the supplied one 
and more flexible.

Hi. To clear this up once more, if you 
keep getting the "'Retained' is an 
invalid key" error, it's due only 
because of one reason. YOU'RE NOT USING 
VB6!
There is, however, a way to fix 
it. Edit the .vbp file in a TEXT 
EDITOR, NOT VB. There should be a line 
towards the bottom reading 
"Retained=0". Wipe out the whole line. 
Viola. Problem solved!

nothing.
Wait... There's a picture

It's not really suppost to do anything, 
it's just a basic engine that doesn't 
have anything like bad guys 
implimented.  Really all you can do is 
walk around.
The missing maps are 
simply maps that I hadn't yet completed 
when I uploaded the code.
