MS3.54 - Mattyw - 21-09-2008
What would you all like to be in MS3.54?
The current max value of stats is set to 255, by use of ScrollBars, how about replace those scrollbars with TextBoxes and increase the max from 255 to (2^31)-1
Then also HP & Experience calculated differently, you will be able to set it for NPC's yourself, & also have an Auto-Calc button, what do you think of the Auto-Calc button idea?
There will also be known bug fixes.

text boxes i hate scrollbars
Re: MS3.54 - Anthony - 21-09-2008
Scrollbars ftw.
Why would you want the stats to be a long? If you were to increase it I think an integer would be fine but these all seem like ideas that aren't really beneficial to anything the engine is trying to accomplish. They are things that you would add in yourself.
Re: MS3.54 - GIAKEN - 21-09-2008
Text boxes allow more freedom and make it easier to set stuff instead of waiting for the number to go up. How about scroll bars with text boxes? Change the value in the text box to make the scroll bar go up or vice versa.
Re: MS3.54 - GIAKEN - 21-09-2008
That's why you do checks and set the text box up so it won't go out of bounds or they won't put in a letter or whatever.
Re: MS3.54 - Jacob - 21-09-2008
The stats being bytes should be standard. If you want them to be different you should change them for your game.
The textbox vs scrollbar, could care less.
Re: MS3.54 - Jacob - 21-09-2008
Code:
' Stats
Stat(1 To Stats.Stat_Count - 1) As ByteStats are bytes.
Re: MS3.54 - Jacob - 21-09-2008
The only thing the enum does is point it to the right number in the array.
The values filling the Stat() -byte array - should still be bytes.
Re: MS3.54 - Dragoons Master - 12-10-2008
A max stat 255 is just too small. It should be integer IMO.

Re: MS3.54 - Rezeyu - 12-10-2008
If they're such aproblem, click them, hit [Delete] and drop a damn Text box in.
It's not difficult.
Re: MS3.54 - Dragoons Master - 12-10-2008
I think the max value for .max = 32767. Almost sure.

Ignore the Topic Name, it's what DFA told me to use. .58 still is same on ScrollBars/TextBoxes.

I like scroll bars. If you max is 32,000 for a stat that the scroll bar controls, change the value of the scroll bar's .LargeChange from 1 to something more suitable, like 10 or 100

You could also do more than one ScrollBar, & link the ones after, to Grab from ScrollBar 1, then 2, etc... Might not look nice, but doable. =-p
Re: MS3.54 - Rian - 12-10-2008
It doesn't seem very practical either.
