Lost Winds - Refreshed Thread!

I am planning on making a PSP (Player See Player) system very soon, however I will need a few things from you guys (mostly silver)

I know how to code one. I made a psp in my Sc online mmo system.

Once upon a time you had programmed a simple thing in which you had two games talk to eachother through textfiles and show two different people walking around. If you could upgrade that to v6 and send me it that would be apreciated.

I used to have it, but I can't find it. Though, I know there was one major flaw in the game. You had to use seperate clients to play. We need to make it so you can use the same client to play.

Great News!  

Hendo is almost done! I'm expecting to get the As code from him in the next hour to tomorrow.

Here is the code!  

Code: [Select]

property varname : (path to desktop as Unicode text) & "varname.txt"
property vardata : (path to desktop as Unicode text) & "vardata.txt"

on idle
   --read the file
   set what_to_do to do shell script "cat " & quoted form of POSIX path of varname
   
   --determine what to do
   if (what_to_do is "Done") or (what_to_do is "Shut off") then
       if (what_to_do is "Shut off") then
           quit
       end if
   else
       --put your code here
       --change variable_data
       set variable_data to "Whatever you want the data to be"
       do shell script "echo " & quoted form of variable_data & " > " & quoted form of POSIX path of vardata
   end if
   
   delay 0.1
end idle

on quit
   continue quit
end quit

This runs on the loop and does everything we need it to do. Ready to get started on the online awesomeness? (Updates every .1 second.)

I can't help anymore than. it is your turn to carry the flag.

I used to have it, but I can't find it. Though, I know there was one major flaw in the game. You had to use seperate clients to play. We need to make it so you can use the same client to play.

I would be doing this, as well as making a simple way of interacting with the server.

Mist (PS. If you would still like my to try to make a system just let me know, otherwise I can only help with keeping the website's backend up to date)

*Rubs hands together* This is what I've been waiting to do all week.

Yes, we need to update the backend to certain specifications in order for the As app to work. Do you know what to do?


-Gandolf
P.S. Also, I will rebuild the Lw app to work with the As script, and what really screws me up is the chatting part. If the person writes a certain character, it messes with the php... I will need help with that, now with the psp, thats simple.

PSP Already? HOLY SHIAT! What did I miss? Progress aplenty, I see!

Hey Mistron, think you could build a separate Gmod for Lw without the key and have it hosted on either mine or your Gmg account?


-Gandolf

[Silverwind]

Out of interest Mist, why would you need my online game test to be upgraded to V6? Here's the old version if you still need it:

I wanted to make a different system for doing PSP

However it turns out that gandolf had found a way to use sockets with GM (Instead of just SC, I don't know how you are suppossed to do it) and my much less efficient method is now no longer required.

My method would use HTTP as the protocol for connecting while his uses different sockets, somthing which my RedRasor server would not support.

Without the key?

HUH?

Mist (PS I think that I had already made that... Check the Applescripts that I made a while ago)

[Gan]

Something like this:

Code: [Select]

BEGIN APPLESCRIPT user$ pass$
--login
return do shell script "curl http://redrasor.com/gmmmo/login.php -d usr=" & user & " -d pass=" & pass
END APPLESCRIPT = uid$

Where you don't need the key.

Also, instead of having many pages, maybe only 2. One for chat, and the other for everything else.

Because you are planning to do the PSP thing with sockets, why don't you just send the data to a centeral computer which is running the server that saves it fr you?

Where did you get the idea I was going to make it with sockets? Php is way better, hold infinite amount of players, no extra lag when more than 5 people are online, can hold much more data, more organized. Much more convenient too.

The psp I did with sockets can easily be done with php, I just need the php server thing up and working with As so I can start on the php psp. I'm going to use fake arrays to speed up the data transfer process tremendously.

[Mystor]

sure, sounds cool

My plan was to have a supporting flash application that would constantly check these text files which would contain the information required to run the game.

it would also do the syncing with the server and manage the games properties.

Mist

[Gan]

Ah cool. Which do you want to use, Flash or AppleScript? Will we need a window open for Flash?
