How can you change vbgore so that you can attack like you do in the Legend Of Zelda games?

Well you would have to design a new Battle system and that would be a whole payload of Programming.

If you don´t know youre whereabouts in VB6 you can forget it from the start.

Or then you can learn yourself VB6! Will take a time before you can defeat your goals, though.

I have signd up in the .net forum for netgore i am still waiting for my account to be opend cause i am normaly using .net for almost everything especialy cause since LINQ ist integrated it makes things easier to deal with.

@Darkfrost not nesseceraly there are a few major differneces as i can see. But it has been quite a while since i last played zelda^^

Yeah, Darkfrost is right though, You can just change the HP a bit e.g. to the amount of blows a monster needs and just reduce every hit to do 1 damage. Swinging swords etc is paperdolling anyways. I don't really see any other major changes?

@LinuZ VB6 is outdated, better learn something that is widely spread and used nowadays. I'm not saying VB6 is bad but if you have to start from scratch anyways it's better to leave vb6 alone.

Just because it isn't updated frequently, doesn't mean it is outdated. VB6 works for the tasks it was designed to work for. And for tasks it wasn't built for, you just need to do some more work.
But yeh, I should maybe learn C#. I just don't feel for it as I feel for VB6 :(

It probably won't be, since I never activate anyone not part of the dev team. :wink: It's not ready for being available to everyone. Sorry.

Well I use the LINQ extensions, which are just the extension methods. They don't do anything but provide for some syntactical sugar. I did try Linq to SQL, and Linq to Entities (aka Entity Framework), but hated them both. So instead, I rolled my own solution. I won't go into details, but it basically takes the database tables you point it at and generates strongly typed classes for using them. I found it the perfect blend of native SQL-style queries with strongly typed data. It let me keep my query building and connection pooling system that I had before, which performs really well and enforces good query usage practice (at least for something like a game server).

I see. Well i hope you are going to replace at least the quest.ini and similar through .xml files. It makes it a hell lot easier to to add quests and such. I am eagerly waiting for .net gore and i really hope it will be a bit easier to overlook the code itself. Cause at the moment adding things like a scripting engine for npc specialised AI systems Event system and so on is a whole lot of hard work if have in fact done some of the mentioned things allready but it takes time that i usaly don´t have. And Actualy i don´t really want to change the source again and again if i add a new feature or event and such. Thats why scripting engine.

Well we´ll see how it turns out.
