I have been working on that, but not with multisync, although it should be easy to convert.

I would say use dbEntry, I am not Exactly sure how to use it, but I am working it out. Then just do dbText ( dbEntry );

I am working on the code, so once i get it, i'll show you it!

what type of game are you making with multisync? I am working on a FPS where it is two teams and.... It is kinda long. I have already made a really cool landscape!

Yea im working on an Fps i plan on making multiplayer, its indoors only right now because im having trouble with the physics. It also gonna be based around two teams with game modes like team death match and CTF.

I also cant get my game to show the other players when using multisync online, but i deleted that whole game and starting over from scratch.

I am making sorta the same game. Two teams, and you just try to get the most points by killing the other team, or by getting to their base.

I made the map, and it looks pretty good, it isn't done yet, still need to work on the platform and stuff.

Load the image, then in the mainloop just do dbPasteSprite ( 1, dbScreenWidth ()/2, dbScreenHieght()/2 );

Yeah, and I am working on getting better texture.

I would say yes, if I wasn't going to use it, but I want to use it in a real game, and I don't really want it to be like in another game. Sorry.

But, if you want me to make you a different arena thing, I can do it. Just tell me what you want in it. Don't ask me to make it look A LOT like mine.

Do you want like a really rugged landscape with hills and stuff, and a huge mountain in the middle?

By alot, do you mean knowing nothing?

I have no idea how to work with multisync, I only know a bit. I am going to use it in my game, but I still need to work on the models, animation, and things before I EVEN start thinking about getting it to work online.

Quote: "That would be great !!!"


Ok, I will get to work on that, how high do you want the poly count to be?

The poly count should be pretty high. just make sure it isnt too high.

This is a pic of the only map i have now.

Yeah, I find it serves the purpose. How about 2,000 max poly count? Is that okay? My arena was like 5,000.

Uh, the mountain is a bit problematic, I am going to try and get it in there, but if you are making a FPS, you would want two bases right? Do you want those? The rest I will make rugged. Also, do you want an underground tunnel? That would be fun to make....

The tunnel was hard, and I still need to get it so that it looks like it is part of the entire thing. Then I have to color it... That will be really hard with the tunnel....

Well, it is coming along pretty nicely.

I AM DONE!

All I need to do is export it, then it will be COMPLETELY finished. I don't really know how to export textures? Do you?

I mean in the shading menu, then the texture menu. I loaded an image. How do you export that?

Getting back to the first post, this topic intrigues me. For my online multiplayer part of my game, the chat system will be different than most other games. Along with in-game chat, it will have the C4F player to player messaging system (totally out of the game). It works by looking up the username in a REALLY long list of SQL entries on my web server.

Regarding the second post,
Quote: "I would say use dbEntry, I am not Exactly sure how to use it, but I am working it out. Then just do dbText ( dbEntry );"


That code won't work because you need the X and Y coordinates before the string value itself.
Quote: "void dbText ( int iX, int iY, char* szString )"


And it will only print on your screen- not others. To send it to all screens, you can use Winsock to submit a variable to your server, which in turn can submit it to every player. Note that dbEntry returns the string value held in the windows message pump. It's easier to store text in a dynamic character array and send it to a server

I'm still finishing my Campaign mode of my game though.

Oh, and I like the target cursor in that picture lol.

Yeah, I don't really know much about multi sync, so thats why it says dbText and dbEntry.

Quote: "I'm still finishing my Campaign mode of my game though."


Hopefully we will be able to play it when your done! I don't know how to make computers. It is so confusing programing them to do things.....

Good luck on the game!

Well, I am trying to make a toon game, working with another person who makes the models, where it is like you get to walk around and talk to people online.

That is a warm up for my FPS, two teams, message system, and lots of warfare!!!!

MASS D3STRUCTION! lol

You mean sort of like Disney's Toontown Online? That's pretty cool. You'll be able to make a LOT of money with stuff like that.

As for mine, it is a fan game for a popular series by Nintendo. (Of course that's just to warm up). Then I'm planning to buy the license and plan to send the people of the Earth to intergalactic war in a fully fledged FPS!

Hey! Your copying my second game! (your not actually)

I am making an FPS, and this one will be the one that will be awesome, I need a name though......

Quote: "You mean sort of like Disney's Toontown Online? That's pretty cool. You'll be able to make a LOT of money with stuff like that."


Yeah, it is going to be where you can walk around and talk to people. It is just going to be a warm up on how to use multi-sync and using the message system.

I might add more stuff, though this one person gave me all the models I needed to build the city, although I am not sure why...

He just gave me like 10 free toony models which are good.

Looks fishy to me. Nobody goes up to someone and gives free stuff. There has to be a catch to it. Of course there are free model sites etc, but they say you can't use them in commercial apps and if you do, you have to credit them or something.

Yeah to export the texture you just UV map it in blender. then when you export it in blender it still wont show the texture so you have to edit the direct x file which i can do that.

No problem, the .x file is attached.

Quote: "Hey that map is amazing"

Thanks, it isn't as great as it could be, mostly because it had to be low poly- a really amazing one would be like 10,000 poly. But then it wouldn't work in the game...

I really am only proud of my tunnels, they turned out really well.

That isn't the reason, Blender is BASED on python, you couldn't use it without python. You just don't have the plugin. Go back to blender .org, and download the zip file also.
