I'm having a server that will make some NPC's.
it wil move the NPC's and upload the position to the clients.
now I don't want to see them. I want to keep my black text message screen.
I'm not using dbSync(); but when I load the object I still swap to 3D vieuw.
Someone know how to turn it off so I only see the dbPrint on black screen?

3d views always there i think. what you can do is draw a black box on the screen first then do the text drawing. 2d is still done in 3d just draw onto the 2d world.

If you don't want to see them, simply don't load them. You can use the data sent by a client to recalculate its position using dbNewXValue() and similar functions and send back the recalculated data to the client without ever rendering the model.

yeah, as entemonophobiac says, dont load them... just send x,y,z data and some other stuff that your game might need, only the client needs the model.

Server: Send Data (npcid,x,y,z)
Server: Send Data rotations

client: try to recieve data (npcid,x,y,z)
client: try to recieve data rotations

client: dbPositionObject(npcid,x,y,z)
client: dbRotateObject(npcid,rotations)


this above is an example and is no real code. just something to represent things, you can also send an animation id or something...
this is the most basic of game networking. As you can see the server doesnt need any model loaded, and maybe for the server you dont even need darkgdk at all... just a simple console app.
hope it helps
