3.03 Support :: For Beginners
I support 3.03 Users %100
Whats V3.03
MirageSource 3.03 is probally the earliest version we have of this open source orpg creation.
Whats better MSE, V3.03, or V3.07?
It depends on your decision.
V3.03
In my opinion 3.03 is the easiest and has more tutorials which you can choose to use but 3.03 isnt supported. 3.03 Does not have a license.
V3.07
This version is of V3.03 with MySQL! Yes, mysql. Its hard to start but you'll get the hang of it if you do things with it daily for practice and enhancement on programming skills. 3.07 Does not have a license.
MSE Build 1
MSE Build 1 has some optimizations not much but just some. What it does have is a license. Which you need to read if you want to use MSE Build 1. I do not recommend MSE Build 1 but its your decision.
MSE Build 2
MSE Build 2 is not yet released but is planned to have many optimizations and fixed. RECOMMENDED.
Part One - Getting Used to Vb6
If you know much of VB6 skip this part.
Start messing with properties, command buttons, list boxes, etc. Make a command button change captions, textbox's text. Get used to VB6! I.E.
Examine the code. Its pretty simple. If the label named lblOrg's Caption = Oh then lblorg's caption is now my. Thats what Vb6 is telling your system but in order to tell the system you must tell Vb6 the correct way so it can understand you. The VB6 Language. If you study that code you'll learn the If, Else If, End If. For Every If (as itself, not else if) theres a End If. Why? Vb6 will not know when to tell the system to end it.
Part Two - Launching MS 3.03
The first things you want to do is explore your source.
Get to know your code! This will be more fast to find codes.
Oh Yes! How to find codes? (Usage for tutorials) Ctrl + F and a menu will pop up. ( See image below! )
![[Image: Yayee.png]](http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/PandoGFX/Yayee.png)
Current Procedure ( Search the current sub your within )
Current Module ( Search the whole form or whole module your within )
Current Project ( Search the whole project. - ALL FORMS, ALL MODULES )
Selected Text ( Self Explanatory )
This is the end of PART TWO. You've learned how to search and got to know your source a little bit more.
Part Three - Doing your first tutorial
This will be not too hard for you depending on your understanding of VB6.
Fill Button Tutorial - by Lucidar
In frmMirage.picMapEditor add a command button named
cmdButton. Add the Following inside it.
If you have extra layers ( extra layer tutorial) remove the ' from the green lines (which are comments, as the system doesn't read it.)
Your Done. Test it out.
Oh yes, making yourself an admin! I forgot :p.
Create an account. create a character. goto your server folder
then go into the folder "Accounts". Now open the account you just created. then find Access=0 and change it to 4. And your all set!
more Parts coming soon. Please ask questions if your unsure of something.
3.03 Continued ::
When starting a fresh source, its nice to add optimizations making things faster and easier for you to come around. By now you should know basic things such as If, Else, Then, etc. Lets go over somethings.
Size is a large matter when programming. Most feel that its better using smaller sized variables etc. And so, Speed is created.
Speed depends on your pc and how you programmed the function.
Continued once I get home from school.
