MMO Starter Kit

[CodeSpartan]

Congrats with free UE4 guys!

As for webhosts with PHP 5.5, it’s hard as hell finding one that isn’t 5.3/5.4. Not to mention I’m cheap, so finding a free host was even harder. I did find x10 have PHP 5.5 on their free hosting though, and it seems to work just fine, if anyone is just as cheap as me.

Great job on finding a free PHP 5.5 hosting, I didn’t know it existed! I’ll add this info to the documentation, so let me know please if there will be any issues with x10. I’m using PHP 5.5 because it has some very easy to use and efficient password encryption that can even change the encryption method over time as new and stronger algorithms are added to PHP without having to modify the original script.

Is there a way to set up a “spawn volume” instead of specific locations of bandit spawns? Basically, “a bandit will spawn anywhere in this volume”; the reason I ask is if you’re making a large world, with a good amount of npc’s, it would be a huge PITA to manually place each mob

I have to agree with soctty here, most MMOs set spawn coordinates by hand, furthermore, in WoW they set the roam waypoints manually as well (players could check the fixed roam coordinates on sites like wowhead). However, you could implement spawning NPCs in a volume - I would start by making a clean TPP project and getting this functionality to work before porting it to the mmo project. You could try using ProjectPointToNavigation or raytracing for the ground so they don’t appear below or above the terrain.

Player Auction house / Player to player Trading / NPC stores

Those are not difficult to add yourself if you watch the official tutorials on replication. It’s possible they will be added to the demo in the future.

Player respawn, random location that is within 4 meters of closest XYZ object/respawn point. The logic should also determine if that coordinate is already occupied, and if it is, then choose another random coordinate within that area.

This is more of a general UE4 blueprints question, it can be done rather easily with some line tracing.

Highlight selectable/actionable item or npc on mouse over, target item/npc (so if you look to the left, your still shooting/fighting what you have targetted).

Already implemented for the NPCs - same principle as in WoW, the character continues auto-attacking while you can rotate the camera.

Hi, When I am starting it up for the first time. I get to the part in your Docs that say to register and create a character. I can register just fine, but it doesn’t let me create a character for my first character. So I am stuck there.

Hi, contact me on Skype please () so we can fix this faster.
