I will begin posting attachments in this forum and there will now be a download forum with links to the attachments. So you can ignore this one as everything you find here will be in the Download forum.

OK as of today, I am ending support of Win95/Win98/Win98se/WinMe. Reasons for this, I no longer have the means to test on these operating systems nor do I have a low spec machine anymore. Therefore here are the following system requirements to use any product supplied by us. If you use a lower...

Well, while there has been a lot of updates/optimizations to the Demo, there has been a few things that have been slowing the game down on loading/drawing etc. The biggest was the enormous loading times anytime you started the demo. One problem was generated by the conversion to DX8. I screwed...

Ignore that it is April Fool's Day. Seriously. I am not going to do any pranks today simply because I don't feel very good. 100% Serious. No Jokes! Got it? It appears that the new Demo doesn't work on all systems out of the box. I'm not sure why just yet, but I have uploaded an edited version...

Well as I promised, now that all maintenance is done, here is the updated Demo, minus some of the mentioned changes in my development blog. Please don't ignore the information box that pops up when it starts. It takes a few seconds to allow you to push OK, for a reason. To attempt to force you...

Please be aware, the forum/site will be undergoing some maintenance tomorrow (Saturday, 29 March, 2008). If you attempt to access the site and encounter errors, or simply the site appears to be dead, this is the reason. The maintenance should last through Saturday only, but don't be surprised if...

Well, great news..no additional features, but all core drawing functions have been fully converted over to DX8. Lighting is still a ways off because I can't come up with a decent method to do it. Colorblending is very possible and already in the works on the world editor. Which brings me to my...

Well great news. I have converted almost all functions over to DX8 on the demo (which makes it easy to convert on the client since they are identical) and with the FPS locked at 61, it is running consistently and very smooth. No fps spikes on any of the 3 computers I have tested it on. As soon...

Yes, I'm aware the Beta is out to the public. Yes I'm aware that the main page (http://www.burningstormstudios.com/) does not look correct in either the 'Quirks mode (IE5)' or 'Standards mode (IE8)'. I'll look into it later... PS...IE SUCKS!!! Get Firefox or something else..!

Well I've been told that while I have to break up the tilesets used by this game into much smaller individual textures for DX8, so I went ahead and did that. I've also been told that having 266 different textures in 266 different files is not the best way to load the textures but to load them...

For the past...whatever...years, this project has used DirectX7 for the graphics engine. For a long time I have been hoping to upgrade to a newer version of DX and finally decided to begin the conversion. Considering I haven't found a good free DX9 wrapper for visual basic and have no desire to...

This is kind of an old topic (back from the old forums), but while working on the client I noticed how crappy the GUI looks without an image at all (forgot to copy it over to my thumbdrive) so I went looking for it on my HDD and couldn't find it. I ended up finding copies in my photobucket...

I have removed e-mail authentication for new user registrations temporarily. I was aware that the e-mails were not being sent out since they were first broken (immediately after being hacked), but completely forgot to fix it for registration on the forums. All users awaiting activation have...

OK, well I've added and readded this stupid mod many times since we started this board because it always seems to get removed on every update. But I never did do this any of the previous times, because it was too much of a hassle. The "mark topics as read/view unread posts" is now added again...

Well, I'm really slow as is when it comes to working on this project, but when new concepts come my way or changes to core functionality, I tend to break down on programming and just think about ways to accomplish the task best, usually ending in me creating a whole new program to test my...

In case you are completely unaware, our site was in fact hacked. If you haven't checked the main page of the website in the past few days, I made a post there stating the fact as well as cleaned it up a bit. Honestly, I am not completely positive how they got in. I do know that if they do it...

I'm sure no one really cares about this, but its been a heck of an ordeal to get it running. I finally have my server computer fully running. I have been struggling to find a way to get the server to go through our router's hardware firewall while at the same time preventing unwanted access...

See viewtopic.php?f=6&p=280 for more details. Many of the things I have previously done are likely to be reworked because of all the wonderful suggestions and comments our new developers are giving. However, as of now, what has been done on my end (programming): - Simple World Editor for the...
