I believe he means without the plugin DarkNET if not then I am just as confuzzled too...

But long story short, no it is not possible unless you have another API to manage the networking... which in essense is another plugin...

So what you are trying to achieve is not clear, if you gave more detail we can help further...

Also you might want to look into MultiSync here on the forum it is free if cost is your question here... but believe me, DarkNET is worth every penny!

Hi Sergey K

Your game looks amazing but I would love to see the basic part of code to make the muiltplayer and how to write to arrays, wont use any of the code but want to see just how you do it.

IIRC Sergey was using native DBP commands? Or maybe I'm mistaken?

as i mentioned in that post i gave to you. i was using Benjamin's Multisync for the multiplayer. unforchinatly i dont have the source anymore to show. but Flamertor, you should start learning how TCP/IP connection works before making multiplayer server/client.

good luck.

So essentially you did use some sort of DarkNET... not native...

Just say you used MultiSync instead of leading on >.< I almost painted a picture of ZEUS with your name on XD

You can create multiplayer games with DBPRO without DarkNet; but I'm not sure why you would want to do that? Since it is one of the best solutions.

There is the Matrix1 utility network commands; the native DBPRO multiplayer commands; there's the undocumented multiplayer commands which you can see used in the FPSC source code. As mentioned, multisync, but I can't remember if that was LAN only or not. If it is a small turn based game you are making, then you could also use HTTP.

If you're interested in a free plugin that does networking, everyone overlooks Barnski's winsock plugin, which handles both TCP and TDP networking and is pretty sophisticated His website is here, at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/barnski/main.htm, but the link is broken. I'm attaching the archive with his plugin (which is under the GNU license) because this is the only version that remains, I believe. It's a great plugin, I'd recommend giving it a look!

At the risk of dashing everyone's hopes and dreams of making the latest greatest MMO RPG game...

Yes you can do internet enabled games, but as indy game developers, ~should you~?

I think of all the great indy game experiences I have had over the last 3-5 years, and not a single one had a mp element that was worth playing... With the singular exception of a few experiences on Minecraft. But does Minecraft really qualify as an indy game at this point? Keep in mind, the VAST majority of my time playing Minecraft has been SP.
