if you want to start doing multiplayer stuff, you should read about multiplayer theory. i belive there is a thread about that somewhere.
once you understand how TCP/IP multiplayer works, you will be able to install multiplayer client and server quite easy.

i used Multisync plugin instead of DarkNet. if you want any help, you should try the Multisync, i belive there is more support on it than DarkNET.

It is ok if I use multisync in a site, or I need something else.
And if it's possible, where can I find install instruction on the web, for my example: www.darkgame.com

no. you cant do a website to be a tcp/ip server for your game.
but what you can do is make 2 servers inside your program a TCP/IP server (to handle your game) and HTTP server (to handle your website) i remember i made an HTTP server plugin some time ago, you might want to look on it if it still works. cuz its unsupported anymore..

Still I donno what to choose, I seen your http server plugin, but you told me its not suppoorted anymore (didnt tested).
So...what to do if I I really want to have a website (example: www.dargame.com), and to run here multiplayer online.
What is the best solution??
- For instance Realm Crafter standard it's a good solution?? (I dont like that 3d models, I need something else, more realistic), Or I can use something else, cheaper and better....

What to do?????

in your current plugin library, here is what i would do instead of you:

1) make a server multiplayer Server using DarkNet or Multisync
2) all that data you collect, save it as TXT file:
e.g:
Player1: 4000xp/ level 5
Player2: 5k xp level 6
and so on.
or you can save it as HTML languange, doesnt meter.

now, get some free domain + hosting that got an FTP access,
using Darkbasic own languange, connect to that FTP, upload your html file as a webpage, and here you have it.

so as you see, it is possible to do just how you want it.
it requires a lil bit of coding though.

but i suggest you to do it step by step;
1st, create multiplayer game, even a basic one. to see how the server/client works.
and then move on to the next level.. just like i said; create txt file and upload it via ftp to your webpage.

good luck.

Sergey,

Thank you very much for your support.
Now I have the save & load (cose of you), still need to improve it, ok, but it's working.

Thank you again for your full support in multiplayer games.

I have more then 15 webpages, I have unlimited hosting, so I will start very fast to make my new domain. I hope I can ask you in the future some other questions about dark basic.

Hello Sergey,


1. I installed the ftp plugin RAboyftp_v4
2. I installed multisync 1.4.1. Here I found the two examples of client and server.(example1)
3. I opened server example in dark basic, made the changes, and try to connect with my site, for the moment no success....(I can fix that, problem of password..) BUT ...

Question: The "server" example must be upload ???? as htm or text???
I tried to upload as htm (transformed in "index.htm"), but when I opened the website, I seen the code lines from inside the server example. I dont know how to use ftp inside the dbpro, still searching and..learning.

Any suggestion??

i never used that RaboyFTP plugin.
but i do know how the commands should look like:
1st u should know that your Multisync server acts like CLIENT for ftp.
so its server for TCP/IP and Client for FTP
so those are the steps/commands that you have to look for in your ftp command list..

- gather info:
Port: ? (21 normally)
IP: ftp.yourWebPage.com
passsword: ftp password

- use "Connect" command after you filled all of those.
if the connection success, go to the next step. other wise, something aint right in your info.

- make sure you use sending method of ZIP/Archive
- change dir in your ftp to that dir you wish to upload your stuff into.
- use the command FTP PUT to send your webpage file
- disconnect from the ftp if you think there wont be any use of it in next 2 minuts..


if you follow up those steps, i belive you will get your work done.
