Ive been following another project on TGC that utilizes mysql to run a server for a mmo game. This sounds like a very cool idea, and Im going to be writing up a random world generator before I test anything. Once it is done, maybe even by tonight, I want to start looking into the possibilities.
Dajon, Im fairly certain youd be able to help me in this, and seeing as there is a dll for darkbasic that allows it to access a mysql server, I think we should try and coordinate something simple to show to the rest of the group.
Wait, why would you want to do this?
Technically, but its nothing like WoW. In fact, its not even an rpg. Think more like up to 32 people playing a death match game on a server. The only reason its an mmo is cause its massively multiplayer online.
How would you make it? Just take Revenge code and make it so the engine uses 3d terrain?
Im willing to help
i need to see the docs for the DLL
and it seems to me
Okay, Ill send you all the documentation that I have for it. Im sure youll understand more of what it does. It might be best if we either plan everything out and then write out the code together one day or you give me pseudo code and then I attempt to write the real thing. Either way, I will need to give you details on what information we need to store, ect.
Im nearly done with everything I can do without a server.

Here is the link for the dll: <a href="http://home.nyc.rr.com/madtek/DBP/DBP_TPC_MySQL.zip" target="_blank">http://home.nyc.rr.com/madtek/DBP/DBP_TPC_MySQL.zip</a>
I have successfully completed everything I need (except stupid shooting
Looks and feels great.
If you could post the controls, that would be nice.
Forgot about that!
Controls
WASD is movement (forward Left Back right)
Shift is boost (if you are a fast ship)
Crtl is shield or cloak (if you are a defensive or powerful ship)
Space is break
Mouse controls up and down rotation
Right mouse button is auto target. Move the mouse over planets to test it!
i just have a few suggestions for the class stats.
i think fast ship should have cloak and/or higher speed.
i think powerful ship should be slow, but cause a lot of damage and take more damage than normal.
i think the defensive ship should have higher shields and armor.
well need to find a good combo of abilities
