That cube is looking hotter every time I see it.
Did you say that you've added collision to it?

yeh, only with terrain though.

lol - its one sexxayy cube aint it? Naw thought not. Modelling character as well as first enemy: goblin-warror

BREAKTHROUGH:

the game works online. I tested it with two instances of the client app running through the server on the same PC - smooth as anything.

Aura, can i ask why you set the time to 2000 for sending the data to the server? I took that bit out and got perfectly smooth control!!

screen:



(yes, the place underwater is the 'lobby' at the moment, but will be the start village)

Ive also got to set the day/night code to work from the server so that when new players join, the time will be that of the server etc etc. Tries it once but screwed up the server (still figuring out the order in which data is pushed from the server and popped onto the net stac in the cleint...getting there though). Happy days!

I set it to 2000, because I like to take things easy. I suggest you leave a slight interval in yours too, to avoid lag.

Not sure if you've read the AGE thread, but I made an update to the server code, http://forum.thegamecreators.com/xt/xt_apollo_download.php?i=635104

replace your current server code with that, and remove the "settings.txt" file(use "config.ini" instead). This one allows you to set the maximum ammount of players in the "settings.dba" file, and also the distance that players are notified of eachothers existence. You'll need Multisync to compile it.

Backwards, multisync receives everything in the reverse order which it was sent. So if you want your server to receive PLAYERNUM,X,Y,Z in that order then you would send it in this order Z,Y,X,PLAYERNUM

Because otherwise the amount of data sent per second will depend on framerate, which is bad for many reasons. One of them being that sending that often will murder 56Kers.

cheers aura. ive got 5 as the interval to avoid lag. Oh, i was wondering about the distance because its very small in my world, the other player stops moving on the others screen asfter a few hundred units. Also, how come the player data doesnt display above the client plasyer (like clinet login name etc) cuz the codes there, ive seen it anyway

@dom: yea i figured that out but eneded up getting player 2 angles instead of time. Ill work on it tomorow (tired) and should get it sorted. Cheers anyway

I don't remember why I didn't have the player names above their heads. I'll look into it now-ish. On another note, check the last post in the AGE thread if you're interested in the collision system that I've added to the frameworks. The key thig about it is the Move_Col_Object(object number, speed) function, which moves your object, and calculates polygon based collision. I suggest looking into the collision.dba file to see the two of them. Also, I have an idea that will make it faster, and that is having a seperate array for objects that exist, to save the huge for loop that I'm doing right now. Instead, it would be a small, concentrated for loop.

okay, it been a while
(Please ignore siq, server is DOWN)

UPDATES:
redone entire HUD
Added map and WHOIS
[EDIT] Added trees to overworld map
[EDIT] Added start of a dungeon
Improved chat system
Added lobby city with new buildings for overworld map
trade system 80% finished
Weapon sysnthesis 50% finished
added 2 shops (more to come)
Added collision and chat (thanks Aura)
Added new menu screens
Modelled basic poser model with 1 animation for now, for clients
Battle system 70% finished
Stat system 50% finished

WORKING ON:
Item modelling
Inventory Sprites
Equipping items
HUD interaction

SCREENS ARRIVING SOON (problems with USB pendrive )

EDIT: NB - moving out soon (monday the 19th sept) to my new penthouse flat in the Citaaayy, when i start Uni! This is bad news as (even though it has everything - including sofas, xbox and a widescreen tv left from runaway tenants - yes tangiable assets) it does not have any internet connection, so any updates will be rather slow unless if i can upload stuff from Uni or at home during term breaks (but i WILL be working on this moderately)

Can't wait to see those shots optical r. As you're soon to leave, is there anything in particular that you would like me to work on in the framework before you go?

Cheers aura, i really cant think of anythionjg off the top of my head, right now i can manage with the trading and battle engine, and it was great timing for the stats part of the server (mine started screwing up), but, hey ive got 4 days before i leave so i don't wont to take up much of your time if i came up with a huge request or something to fit into such a tight scehdule.

To all, i will get those screen up soon

New screens ('finally!'), I hear you jeer.

Well its been an invigorating 2 days of coding into the new framework release but successful

Please note - only just finished modelling and animating blacksmith (not skinned, dont why he's black but it looks cool)

@Aura - I had to reposition my player by adding 225 units to his y position for each collision function - it solves the problem of making him appear to be walking on the ground (or surface), but going under building with ceilings (like bridge, if you will) the player's y position hops to and fro - how else can i adjust the player y position without screwing up the vector algorithm in the collision?
thanks in advance

Newayz, enuff of that - note: theres no screenies of battles (implementing special fx for speel casts so imo you'll be impressed to see screens of casting speels at enemies

screens: (ignore dodgy sky -wip)

Erm... HOT!

As for your collision problem, are you sure you replaced ALL of the old move object and collision files? I updated all of them as I was having a similar 'jumpy' problem before.

cheers

about the collision, ive sussded it now bt thanks anyways

added new effect to chracters when they level up:



ive developed an algorithm for identifying which speels are needed where and allowed the server to send a boolean value and an extra byte of infom for spell state, this means if a player is using a spell on another client , everyone else can see which one and who casts it!

more udpdates soon (churning out as many as possible be4 i leave!)

So anyway, I'm going to be setting up a page where users of age can submit their best age based screens. Was wondering if you would be kind enough to submit an entry, whatever one, or more, that you like. That would be great.

@Gogeta: yes, to be used sparingly though as it can reduce fps for *ahem* lower end gfx cards such as yourslef

@Aura: Yeh, in fact i've reworked the main map with a *sweet* new terrain and pixel shaded water, ill take some very hi-res and slightly oot shots for you!
