Agreed there Kyn. A base is just that, a base, adding your own stuff to it makes it your own work.

Here's a short video of some progress, almost finished with the foundations, once done it will be built upon much faster then what the current progression rate is at.
Edit please ignore the music lol.

I don't really have many tips if I am honest except for that, there will almost always be a more effienct code, so look for it.

Does any of that actually work? or is it just aesthetics?
Also why do they move :S? Not like they are blocking anything :confused1:, which brings me back to the aesthetics.
Im sorry for being the only dick here, but why are you working on making it look pretty at this stage, even if its a 5min job? Does login/account create or anything work at all?

Your critism is welcome...
I am not willing to rush any part of this game, I complete one stage move on to the next, I don't want it to be the case where i have rushed things and forgot to add / do something resulting in a bugging interface.
I have just set up the connection to the server, I MAY (might happen might not) need some volenteers to try connect and create an account some time tonight / tomorrow... Latest thursday (if at all).
I spent alot of time trying to get a textbox to work in DirectX, it is painfully hard so I've gone for another method, needs a slight improvement and all.
If the server is down, you won't be welcomed by a black screen, instead your shown the background and when connected your shown the login box... Ultimatley, If you see the login box the server is accepting connections
It may look that way, but from what I understand, its all just a base. Like now all thats done, coding the actual ingame interface would be far easier as the base is already there and perfected.
You mean a client side base for form manipulation? I know that you can use WPF and extend the textboxes and other controls and customise to the extreme for rendering in applications. But to be fair I aint done it in DirectX in .NET before. But considering WPF is built on DirectX technology you may have been better going down that route.

Is it possible to have an Exit button on that screen with the background? Cause if theres no connection then u gotter ctrl + alt + del to close mir or minimize right click, close
an exit button wud be much easier :P
Fixed Text Box's to behave more ... well Like a text box.
Fixed the issue where the game would crash if you alt tabbed in FullScreen.
Fixed the previous fix where you couln't alt tab out of game as it would immediately alt tab you back, Although I was temped to keep this so people are forced to play the game.
Account Creation 90% Working,
Few more changes/adjustments need to be made to the textbox's to make them complete.
