A simple isometric RPG engine that can read maps from a save file, draw the map, draw the player, read walls from a save file, draw an NPC, draw the walls, and can move the character. UPDATE: I got character movement working! As long as the players movement is less than 17 pixels it works fine. Also added NPCs, but they are far from being done. The code is kinda messy, but I will clean it up when I'm done.

Thanks for the comments, but what does my using Mozilla Firefox have to do with my code? I'll update the code after I work on it a bit. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
The paths to a few files (clsIsometricMap.cls, clsTexture.cls, modDirectXEngine.bas) in IsoRPG.vbp point to the wrong files. When clsIsometricMap.cls is added, it appears to not be the correct file. Breaks in Form_Load of frmMain at the line "map.InitPlayer App.Path & "\Images\Characters\Player.bmp", 50, 108, 5, 0, 0" InitPlayer is not in clsIsometricMap.cls (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
not too bad, but had a problem with the image of the character going behind tiles of the map ???? Keep it going though, it looks promising. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I fixed the problem you described james, and now the movement works so long as you dont set the player's speed to 17 or more. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I've not changed any parameter. It crashes when I go on the border of the map. Add some array bounders protections.
If you have only 2 choices as these : '//Important, only set one of the following 2 to be true. Private Const UsePollingMethod As Boolean = True Private Const UseEventMethod As Boolean = False
then defined the second constante with the first one as below :
Private Const UsePollingMethod As Boolean = True Private Const UseEventMethod As Boolean = Not UsePollingMethod
Very good indeed ! 5 globes ! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
