When opening it in the Visual Studio Enterprise Edition it appears that the .frms don't load for some reason; instead they load as modules and there is tons of red lines within the modules.

You'll need Visual Basic 6.0, not the modern .NET copies.

There are some tutorials for the source code / engine on this page: https://github.com/RobinPerris/EclipseOrigins

Sounds like it's having a problem loading a form control. Used to be very common.

Try installing these library runtime files: http://www.hitsparkinteractive.com/threads/runtimes-installer.96/

Then re-download and re-compile the source code.

Having a very similar problem as adiff1 was, while loading in VB6 getting this error http://puu.sh/vr3x8/6b2212b4d5.png

In log:
'0' could not be loaded
Line 0: The file C:\Users\Aubry\Desktop\Crystalshire-master\client\src\frmMain.frm could not be loaded.

for each .frm, installed both SP6 and and the Eclipse Worlds, reinstalled the source, still unable to load them. Anything else it'd be?

The runtimes installer should solve any reference issues.

Try taking a look here:
https://github.com/RobinPerris/Crystalshire/blob/master/client/client.vbp

Each of those references and objects need to exist on your machine and be registered.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4897685/how-do-i-register-a-dll-file-on-windows-7-64-bit

If there's a control placed on the form which exists in a library that can't be found, it'll be replaced with something blank and break everything, causing an error like this.

The installer I linked above manually places and registers all of the files needed. However, there is the possibility of it failing because of not being able to get file access permissions or something.

This is the version of the source code that was used to build and deploy the last working version of the Crystalshire game. There are no other versions of it. I know this works, because other people have compiled and modified it.

If you want, you can try pull down the modified version from here:
https://www.ascensiongamedev.com/community/topic/1008-vb6-crystalshire-game-engine/#comment-16783

If I remember correctly, this is a 'fixed' version of the source where the reliance on the authentication server was removed.

If you have trouble opening or compiling this version of the code, I'd suggest posting on that forum - the people there are more actively involved in development using these types of engines.

I'm afraid I don't understand what the problem is. Do you have an example or link explaining what you think the problem is?
