Simple Online RPG
« on: July 31, 2008, 08:22:17 AM »
I was looking for simple online RPGs and I found this:

http://fordana.com/

It's extremely simple. There's been far better GM games, and that's exactly why I like it. You see, if someone successfully made this into an online RPG, then there's no reason why we can't make an online RPG. We've already created far better battle engines, inventory systems and sprite sets. Yup, simple games like this encourage and inspire me. :)

Your right it is simple. But it is VERY glitchy. Thats the only bad thing I see about it tho.

We really do need to get back into LW. It was so epic. But maybe size it down a bit, say 3 zones and 4 dungeons, a few enemies and all that. I really enjoyed LW.

And because we have so many excellent things to help us, all we need now is the actual online communication code!

I thought Lost Winds went into the pile of abandoned projects. Was I wrong?

Yes, very wrong. Every time the subject was raised one of the LW team has commented that when 4.0 is released LW development will resume.

I think sizing the world down a bit would be a great idea Swamp, and we could always add to it once we had a working example. :)

How complete was the online code when we left off Mist?

There's only one problem. Php is waaay too slow. You could probably only make a turn-based online game.

Fadora uses a .cgi database. That could be an idea to use. Also, if you need a fast server, Mike just put in a new one. Just sign up and it comes with free php and everything.

Well php is slow but I think small text files that hold all the variables will work just fine.

Hey Silverwind. I'm logged on msn as Gandolfmatt [at] hotmail [dot] com . Also I portforwarded and the server is running.

Just open the client in here : http://www.mediafire.com/?nzt53z4ieet

Type this IP in:  68.103.82.162

P.S. The faster the internet you have, the faster the game will run. So if you're on Verison's new fiber optic lines, your game will be lightning fast. Internet where I am is kinda slow.

Here's a question for no one in particular. Is there a way to do the following using any known language, app or engine: Have a GM app read values contained on a server twice a second and store those values in variables, then send values back to the server to be stored?

EDIT:

Ah, I posted before I saw your post Gan. I'll check that out, thanks. :)

If you have the server save the variables in a text file, Gm can easily pick them up and store them in it's variables.

I will be waiting for you to get online.

You could run the LW server? That would rock!

It would rock indeed. I'm gonna try to compile a list of all the vars that would need to be shared and then attempt to understand the code of Gan's MMORPG engine. It sounds amazingly impressive!

Yeah, we should really get back on to LW, just do the Island Zone, the Real time battle (with say 6 different enemies, 3 weapons, 2 classes (each male and female), 3 spells), backend communication, and say 10 quests. Once thats done, polish it out and perfect it.

Once we have a demo zone fully functional and finalized, just adding the others would be easy.

Yeah, and maybe get a dedicated domain. www.lostwindsmac.com?

The forum is great, maybe add animations to the site or something :D
