| I know that blitz can create a MMORGP But I just cant rap my mind around how to do it. any suggestions would be welcomed. |
| ||
| Make a terrain and a small man to run around with. Start there. If anyone wants to flame this guy do me a favour, he wants to have fun and try, so help him do so. |

| http://www.realmcrafter.com/ RealmCrafter1 is Blitz3D based and there is/was a source code version. I think that the new version is no longer Blitz3D - but you could start with RC1. This option could remove a lot of the headache of doing something from complete scratch. |

| My advice: -Plan everything out. -Make game. -Charge everyone but me $15.99 per month. The idea is really just a regular game, but with servers. Other players "send" content through the servers. The servers create enemies, etc. Think about what you want the servers to do, and what you want to be done on each players' machine (if, for instance, the player tries to walk forwards, but you have to tell the server that first and then receive a message from the server in return, it could get slow). It'll seem a lot easier once you plan everything out. I know I didn't really answer your question, but I hope that helped. |

| Wasn't FreeWorld made in Blitz? And wasn't the source released? *edit* Yup, it was B3D http://blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=42508#476293 Not sure where I heard about the source but I'm pretty positive I did... |

| Thanks I was also wondering how you think I should do the online code. |
| ||
| The online code is a different concept which requires a lot of experience in programming. Have a look on code archives for a simple example. |
| ||
| Thank you |
| ||
| you will especially need to think of how you do your ghosting / object data sharing over network without sending stuff like a maniac as the players won't be able to play if you need 10-20kb/s traffic on each of them (beside the problem that you would need a 100m / 1000m connection to host the game with a few hundred online) |
| ||
| I was thinking of sending their data on one string file that their computer would read and separate using the Instr function. |
| ||
| WOW Killer Part 1 WOW Killer Part2 and I think there was a Part 3 on CodersResource but it might have disappeared forever. Do a search for this on Blitzcoder using archive search as there was a LOT of discussion. |
