OKAY, I AM SO CONFUSED.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get how to USE eclipse. Like, when I download it, there's no program to be opened and work with!
Help? How do I properly download it?
I have a vista, btw.

I take it you downloaded it from the main website?

The first thing I can think of that you might have done wrong, is that you downloaded the Source files instead of the program (which is labeled as just Download on the site). The source files need a special program to use them, presumably to edit them.

If that's not the problem, after you unzip the program and put the contents of the zip/rar file onto your computer, the editing program is in the Server folder.

If the editor program doesn't work for some reason, you need to download and install this. There's instructions on how to install it on Vista on that page as well.

Hopefully this helps. 3nodding

Okay, I think this is what you mean... maybe. x3

I downloaded the two files, .zip and rar.
Am I supposed to extract the Eclipse Evolution 2.7 folder?
Because I did.... Then I went to the server and clicked it, and this box comes up, but how do I actually make the game?

I'm not super technologically savvy. x3
