Have not read the thread tbh, just having fun as Smavid thought EasyMode was me, what's the story with the packets?

Oh that in easymode's proof I said that he is just forcing the packets (not even emulating a server).

Apparently according to specialboy your screenshot shows otherwise

Interesting he saw that, packets are in Library.dll which is not in the screenshot lol and there is a bit more to de-compilation if you want it to actually run so not that simple.

Can you try decompile my launcher and see if you can recompile it?

I am interested in knowing the interaction with devexpress components.

To be honest if the point is to learn and maybe make something then It's better to start from scratch, taking someone's code and re-using it can be tough for things like this Mir is not and never will be a big open source well documented thing with loads of contributors to learn from.

Jamie has structured it to his own preferences, and done things in certain ways, if you want to learn then study by all means but look for a way that makes sense to you and experiment

For example questions like, why use Binary serialized packets instead of json? Json is easier to parse, more universal, but has overheads, Binary is smaller, but can be a ball ache to work with sometimes, so you might comprimise and say for walking, and very frequent messaging ill use pure sockets or small binary packets, and for sending things like bag items ill use json.

This stuff can be fun to work on and learn, **** im getting a semi talking about it.

Wont compile out the box unless the dependencies are in place for sure, which is why it's not so easy, it is possible but you need to have some serious ****ing patience and time to sift through and fix everything up.

And why are you hurting me using DevExpress :(

Get some typescript in there!

Do the DevExpress dlls get downloaded when someone downloads your client?

not the Design Dll's

Overpriced its wrong to have to pay that price for their very very simple components, when there is many open source alternatives or can be developed from scratch without much effort.

Yea, don't disagree with that to be honest they feel a bit sluggish too ?

Ah of course. You have to have the DevExpress package installed on your machine. I should already know this as I use it lol.

I find DevExpress really useful when I need to use grids and layout controls. Saves loads of time. But I also find it can make an application slow in some places if you used too many controls on a form.

Yeah I really hate them as they pray on developers who might be new or on a time constraint or for some other reason can't develop the components, so they take advantage with ludicrous prices for sub par shite.

You can de-compile it and open it in visual studio and browse yes, if you want to compile it you will need to put in some effort.

Decompile to study, now that I have absolutely no issues with and would answer questions for (assuming it was for learning ... why this way etc).

Ummmm can you try that again ?

been looking at your Client trying 2 work out why your textbox's work in windows 10 fullscreen
but crystal do not, Tried converting Crystal to SlimDX instead of DX9
Still same issue, so far using text box labels over the chat is the only temporary fix.

not trying to use your client just wondering if you will share the fix if you know what it is?

as we are sticking to customising Crystal client for our own needs - in mir 2

Someone posted a fix for this not long ago. I hink it has been lost in all the drama posts though.

Honestly, I am not sure,

Could be several things, I draw the Text under the TextBox at the same time so maybe you are seeing that? (So you see the blinking cursor or highlighting correctly)?

Could be SlimDX?

Have you tried Setting "Device.SetDialogBoxMode()" (to True) after going to fullscreen?

I can't seem to find the post anywhere sorry. When I get home I will have a look at my source and go through all my changesets to see where I added it.

It is something to do with font scaling.
If you have fixed it be good to post in the crystal section to benefit all

I Just jumped on your server and checked , I cant highlight the text, and no blinking Cursor

So i assume the Draw under the text is the fix , For the textbox's in windows 10

Thanks for the info
