MMO continued...

Posted by DevonX on Feb. 20, 2007, 11:07 a.m.

Ok, I h ave been messing around with more MMO stuff. I have made an engine so people can walk around and meet other players. Instances are updated/created as needed. I am having a problem though with when a player leaves the game… I can't figure out how to designate what instance to destroy.

But disregarding that, I am going to release this engine as a .exe so other people can join later on today. I will be hosting the game starting at 12:25 EST for anybody who wants to join. I will be hanging around the spawn point if you want to see me.

I used to have it so it would display your username above your player, but there was an error where each instance didn't get the right name. So the first person to join (other than the host) obtains the name of the host in it's window and the host's character then gets that new players name on the clients window.

So, if you would like to download the exe, here it is:

Just leave any comments you want about it. I do need help with getting the username error right, you do not get a message about it, its just there, so I took it out of the draw event, so you no longer see the username that each instance thinks it is.

Any suggestions to the engine? I know there is nothing to do, just give engine suggestions.

You may only create one blog on the front page per server day. In the case that your previous blog has been removed from the front page, deleted, or is no longer on the front page for any reason, you still have to wait until the next server day before creating another blog.

1 server day means within 24 hours of each other, and only one on the front page at any time…

DF, you're actually wrong. It's one blog per server day, meaning once the server switches time (in the active user list) to 00:00 it's a new day.
