ROFL!!! If you think that you must be to the edge of crazy...

Now Gogetax don't think I ment this as putting down your project! This project is one of the best projects I've seen ever made in DBPRO! But really... Saying it looks better than WoW is to overstate it...

So warship45... You think BlueLight looks better than something like this?:

http://www.wow-europe.com/shared/wow-com/images/screenoftheday/horde-alliance-mixer.jpg
http://www.wow-europe.com/shared/wow-com/images/screenoftheday/mauradon-falls.jpg
http://www.wow-europe.com/shared/wow-com/images/screenoftheday/hot-springs.jpg

Oh well... Keep updating the game gogetax! And yes... I'm done talking about WoW now

Could you maybe provide us with new screenshots of the game?

Looking forward to the demo!

I just had to laugh

INVENTORY VIDEO
i have made a small video that i made using fraps
i know, the program is sux and makes v. big files
but i converted the fraps avi's to MPG file. so i decreased from 900MB to 18MB video size (lol)

in da game, you guys will see 20FPS only, but its only because of FRAPS! the fps was around 80.

anyhow, take a look at the chat - im writing there some stuff that i gonna do in next step..

so here is the video:
http://81.86.120.81/gogetax/Videos/Inventory.mpg - 18MB (.mpg)

BTW is the finished game going to be freeware or shareware?

oh btw, do u want me to make you more jealous?
i did that so you will be able to open few servers of the game with same account
so once u will open up the server, it will automaticly registred in the server list in the launcher.

Also, can you give me a peek of the code to see eachother. I know how to chat I have that code, I just am wondering how to see eachother through the server. Or, could you atleast tell me what to do to get started?

This game is looking cool. (I wont mention the WoW thing...)

But:

Quote: "like if you want another milion of gold or SUPER good item, you will have to buy in real money =]"


That would ruin the game 100%. You should earn money yourself, and you shouldn't have to buy anything. Blizzard actually BANS every user that's connected to trading of WoW gold and items for real money... Besides, if you HAVE to buy the supergood items, then what's the point in the game, if you have to pay to get better?

EDIT: BTW, is this game PvP or EvP focused?

but i want to get SOME money out of it. but if someone got any better suggestions to me to make that game free and i also will get money from the game in anyway, i would like to hear.

err.. well there is PvP and EvP in da game, but its not only stuff that you can do in the game.
u also can do quests and tasks and stuff..

there is pleanty of ways of getting money, the main ways i've found is:
A.) advertising on your game, so much per month..
B.) selling merchandise, e.g. cafepress.com
c.) get a publisher to buy your game
d.) paypal donations
e.) i gotta go here i'll prob fill this in later when i get back.. tommorow

Hello GogetaX,

nice work done so far. But there is something that I am wondering about:

You said somewhere in your first posts, that the clients "talk" directly to every other client, is this correct?
Or does the server handle every client message, and then sends it over to the rest?

If the first is the case, then what are you going to do against cheaters? Anyone could just change the local character, and then send it to the others. I know its possible, some people can even write cheat-programs that will do this for you

Have you already thought about that problem? If not, it may be valuable to early start thinking about it... as it might turn out later to be very complicated to change all the code to make it cheat-safe.
I don't think I have to stress the fact that cheaters can really ruin an online game, and no one will want to play it if there is a chance that the other player obtained their items/gold by cheating...


So what do you think about this?

greets,
Barnski.

Well if I remember correctly his game is made with Tempest
Which is a P2P type connection so that means that every client is connnected to each other..

errr.. i think it was a "normal talk" with others in chat system
like:
yelling, normal talk, whisper and all of those stuff are i chat..


Quote: "If the first is the case, then what are you going to do against cheaters? Anyone could just change the local character, and then send it to the others. I know its possible, some people can even write cheat-programs that will do this for you"

how about ill compile the the media into the exe?

and i dont think that someone who just replacing stuff in media, called a cheater

ever heard about GameGuard (GG)? its an unti cheat program that always runs while the game is runs.

and im planning to make something like that for my game.
for example, if ill find that some cheating program is ON, ill make a force close on it (so the cheat program will be closed)
and i also might disconnect the client if that happens..

I did not mean character model/media, I meant character values, as health points, gold and so on...

As far as I know, any cheat program can be outrun, if the hacker is willing to do so...
Its impossible to make a software secure, UNLESS you control it by / with a remote server.

In my opinion the only way to make a cheat-safe Online Game is to handle all crucial things by the server, and to check the messages of the client in order to detect invalid values.

If you use a peer2peer networking model, then it will be possible to for example write an own client, and change some character data, then start with your client and play the game with the modded character...
Of course.. here it is questionable whether someone really will be dedicating his time into doing this...
However, it is nicer for a player to know, that it is absolutely impossible to cheat on this game, rather than having in the back of his mind, that anyone out there could have retrieved that mighty epic sword, which took hours for you to get it, by just setting some bits in memory....


I just thought that if you address this earlier it is easier than having to take down any new hack program that is coming out with an new anti-cheat prog update...

greets,
Barnski

well, for those stuff, i think ill make my updater system lil bit smarter
ill check whats the size of the current exe and the size of the exe that should be.(as you know that once u will change a value/string, the file size in bytes wont be the same anymore)
if it will find out that the sizes are not the same, it will update the new exe right on my Update server.
hows that?



btw, new update:
now once you disconnected, the client will count 15 seconds and he will try to reconnect again.
also, fixed around errr.. 5 bugs.

I say go the Guild Wars route and just have a small fee to buy the game like 5 dollars or 10 in America (although you're in Russia are you not so I'm presuming Euros) and then make it free to play after purchase.
