i downloaded a clean “install game” (to test your server). I did purchased the kit but its easier to download the game and see the features. I tried checking the animated loading screen on the live server but I think it is not working. It just shows up grey and a loading sign… I think a mini message aswell (tip?)
i’m a quite busy at moment but i try to help you. I actualise this post part for part when i have time. It costs to much time to make a perfect answere or example for each question but i can give you hints.
( if you create a warrior ( or anything other class ) : set strenght to : 20, stamina : 50 etc. )
is where the stas are set for a new character. You can make an if statement for each class like (warning its only pseudocode you must look how it’s done in the mmocreatecharacter.php and i’m not good in php) if class == 1 (warrior) $stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO characters VALUES (NULL, ?.. = stats that you want) else if class == 2(rogue) $stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO characters VALUES (NULL, ?.. = other stats that you want).
(Then if player have more strength -> attack stronger -> spell stronger etc.)
A quick example how you can add dmg. in this case the damage is normally calculated between 50 and 150% of attack power and after this we add 0,5 damage for each point of strength.
(The NPCs won’t move or animate in certain areas on that map. )
(Anybody know how to disable bandit spawns. I deleted the from the map but they continue to spawn if I play through the start map. )
I can’t reproduce this error. My first question is, do you save the map after you delete them? And how can you play from the start map? I thought it’s only possible after compile and package and play outside the editor.
If it’s the case(you packaged the game) and then the error occurs it is possible that a Full Rebuild can help.
So I haven’t packaged the project yet as it isn’t finished. On the other hand my start map links me directly to the Desert Rally Race map. After having edited the desert rally race map and removed all the npcs, the bandits (and only the bandits) still remain.
Hello everyone, just wanted to drop a quick post here to let folks know I was unable to do any work on the videos or the kit since June due to family issue’s that arose out of the blue. I do not want to bring the thread down in any way or derail it, so I’ll just say it was a very heart breaking time for me with a family member passing away.
I am now back and plan to hopefully pick up where I left off with the videos and kit and see what all has happened since I was last here. Going to take a bit to get back in the flow so bear with me.
Hey ! Sorry to hear about the tough time with your family, I’ve been there too, no fun.
As for the kit, I believe is looking into how to port the project to 4.14, and has already released a version for 4.13. I’ve been working with the 4.12 kit version with some minor changes posted by for porting 4.12 to 4.13, but appear to be having some server issues when making the changes sqshi posted to make the kit open with 4.14, so I’m waiting for the official 4.14 port to proceed with development.
Gerrod: The code you posted will let two different players request the same character name at the same time, if you run servers in parallel.
This is because you first attempt to select to check for name free, and then attempt to insert, without keeping both operations in a single transaction.
A better option would be to make sure that you have a unique index on the character name field, and just run the insert; if the insert fails, tell the user that the name is taken.
That way, the check-for-available and actually-create-character operation is a single, atomic operation.
Oh Nemo, I think it was you I was talking to about optimizing landscape auto material and how it was laggy on large landscapes? So I gave up on it and found an auto terrain cover plugin, free, by Shoiko. I really like it, and he has a release for 4.13 I’ve been using and also a 4.14 version which I’m waiting to use once we can port this kit to 4.14. I’ve been working with 4k x 4k landscapes from worldmachine with no lag at all. Link is below if you’re interested!
I am always interested in cool new stuff, thank you for the link. Feels like I am starting over since I have been out of the loop for a few months. Hopefully 4.14 release will be out soon and I can get started on videos for that version since so much has changed. I’ll be around, feel free to update me on anything I have missed.
This is a great kit. I used especifically the Database section, aswell as migrating and adapting the chat server to my own project, which was a topdown view.
After playing abit, first with the chatserver and having it working, I decided to mix it with the advanced social system, which brings more features to the table. Of course, I had to tweek abit the code in the mychatconnect sources, since there are a lot new commands added and message types
The only thing left to do is adjust/implement the Yell/Say distances, aswell as the Trade Channel (Global is already kinda included with the normal Say of the mmo kit) and add the channel infront of the chatbox like in the chatinput
Another thing to mention is that if you havent purchase this, well, you should, since its a great GREAT kit to learn how things work and connect… even if you only know the basics this will get you on the right way.
GJ . Love the launcher aswell (pretty neat)
a few months ago, a few of the MMOkit owners tried to merge the advanced soc. system with the MMOKit. (I believe) If you have been able to do it, is could you post a tut as to how ? I think a ton of us would be doing the HAPPY dance.
