Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Albino Squirrel on January 31, 2006, 07:59:48 PM: I was wondering if there was any way of making an online game with RPG maker. Being new to scripting I'll suck, but I'm a fast learner and I'm willing to read through any useful tutorials. Can anybody, assuming hosting and all that jazz aren't an issue, help me with this task?

Thanks.
P.S, I did a quick search but couldn't be bothered to read all the crap it came out with.

Post by: blueXx on January 31, 2006, 08:08:02 PM: well there are "not fully working" scripts..
i suggest you'll avoid it -.-

other than that no, though you can try a program named Elysium i think (it has been called in so many names i don't really know the original) it's kinda good though quest and such npcs might come in a bit of a trouble since you need to script them (visual basic)
shops and basic stuff are already there and it's easy to change it's interface and so on though
and it got a quite good abs

well that's what you get from so called mmorpgs, but you can at least use rmxp graphics in it Xx

btw if you figure out how to make a normal quest npc (needing X item and reward with X things) then make sure you tell me ;)

Post by: Albino Squirrel on January 31, 2006, 09:16:16 PM: That site's really got issues. First time on there and download limit already exceeded? :| is there no better site- that one gives me porn pop-ups :?

Post by: haloOfTheSun on January 31, 2006, 09:18:57 PM: Try it again, megaupload definately has its problems, and refreshing the page should work. It always did for me anyway...

Post by: Albino Squirrel on January 31, 2006, 09:24:14 PM: Your IP address (**.***.**.**) -I'm not giving you my IP- is currently downloading the file webcamboy_part4.wmv (20785572 bytes).
I think there are more than one person with my same IP.
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: blueXx on January 31, 2006, 09:28:00 PM: tell me this file is not what i think it is ~_~
btw megaupload always allowed me to dl tons of stuff at once..
so weird
try again tomorrow i suppose

btw someone with the same ip.. the odds for that are so small.. you must be the unluckiest person in the world Oo
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: haloOfTheSun on January 31, 2006, 09:29:28 PM: Heh, I'm a mod, I can see your IP. Actually, including you, there are four members here who have posted from that IP. Chances are, someone had that IP, and then when you got it, it was an IP that exceeded its limit on megaupload... or something...

I'll try it, but if it screws anything up you'll know 'cas I won't post anything for a while :p.

**edit: tried it and it pissed my mum off who was using the master computer 'cas the thing reset itself. You might've warned me that would happen.
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: haloOfTheSun on January 31, 2006, 09:46:59 PM: And you still have the same IP, ><

I'm not good with these kinds of problems, so I'll just stay out now I guess. Just letting you know it didn't change your IP...
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Albino Squirrel on January 31, 2006, 09:52:00 PM: Hmm, I know. I should know how to do this, I'm a tekkie in progress. Maybe it's a software thing I should look for.

Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Albino Squirrel on March 11, 2006, 11:57:58 PM: yo, eclipse is at
http://www.touchofdeathproductions.com
It rules, but if you're looking for quests and the likes, you'd better stay with RPG maker and look up the online script; unless, of course, you're a scripting guru! ~~In which case you are my mortal enemy

Post by: Lonard on March 12, 2006, 09:13:37 AM: K thanks tayuke and albino squirel i sleep prety deep nearly nothing can wake me up but if it's too noisy i might have scheduled times or might just put comp in another room and thanks for the tips oh and i can't find the online script for rpg maker so until i find it i think i just might use eclipse

EDIT: i got this link to a forum were this thing called netplay and there are two versions V1 and V2 and V3 is near completion and its for rmxp im gonna check it out it has a lot of scripts too. This may prove that online play is possible on rmxp
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Albino Squirrel on March 12, 2006, 10:07:32 AM: Interesting... I'll take a look, though I'm no good at this scripting buisness- never even manage to paste the script in the right place! Maybe I'll ditch eclipse for it, maybe I won't. :lol:
Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Tayuke on March 12, 2006, 04:48:57 PM: Could you give us a Link to Netplay plz? :D

yah, went to that site; the best they can give me in the way of links is a site that makes me wait 31 minutes for shoddy upload speeds. I'll google up a better link.

Title: RPGs Online?
Post by: Albino Squirrel on March 15, 2006, 07:20:05 AM: You can use your own PC as a server, this is tried and tested by myself. If other people have trouble connecting to the server program on your pc, it means you haven't forwarded the port. See:
http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm
this means your computer firewall basically lets it past.
I've had around 6 people connect simultaniously to the first BETA of my game, so I know it works. :lol:
