i am more interested in the server, will it be a lite-c server or c++ server?

First of all: congratulations!

The encryption works only when server and client are the same (I guess they are also using it...) and jcl said, that with good skills it's possible to create a large scale MMO with the engine, so now the time has come to proof it . But I am fairly sure, they will use some kind of master-server and use the engine just as a server for instances.

If fastlane still was here I think he would be pretty happy, because you can be sure that after this project is finished, multiplayer will definately work.

Multiplayer already works and worked all the time, Fastlanes problem was just that we had no decent multiplayer tutorial back then. That led to all sorts of overly complicated and ineffective multiplayer scripts by users and even in AUM.

As to the server code, there are many - we'll have 28 servers of different purposes in the first stage of the project. But the zone servers, which are responsible for player movement and level change, will indeed be programmed in lite-C, with the same script as the clients.

If that is really the case, why has Conitec not given a review on false
methods and
code-structure improvements / tips much
early, as the problems where obvious for years?

You could have given that as Tutorial Project for
Users such as George, and then have a review if this
was really the "propper" approach to have stable mulitplayer.

That's just what we did when we became aware of the difficulties. Just look in the tutorial.

Just curious, but will this be labeled A8?? I am considering buying A7, but as I am in no hurry, I don't really want to miss out on a free upgrade to the next version again.

edit: I've just read the reply in the other thread about A7.99.9 etc. This seems to suggest A8 won't be here for another while.

Awesome!

So is this MMOG that your designing going to be for Gamestudio or for some other company?

Either way good luck.

Congratulations on the deal.

I think really it is just what is needed. I think that when developers use the tech that they create, the tech evolves at a more rapid pace. Perhaps one day we could see an mmo developer kit....

"Fastlanes problem was just that we had no decent multiplayer tutorial back then"

It was a bit deeper than that but I agree that with a working MMOG (not a tutorial or demo mind you, an actual MMOG), most or all of the problems we encountered could have been ferreted out and overcome.

All the same I am of course very happy to hear this and can't wait to see the final product! Congrats!
