I have talked to many people using 3D Gamestudio and like me they want to make online games but cant even start because they have no idea what they are doing. If someone would be gracious enough to provide a thorough tutorial from a multi-player game (START to FINISH). Im sure many of the people using 3D game studio would appreciate this very much like myself. A book with thorough instructions would be exellent but tutorials are fine to. A code that you could add to your game to make it online multi-player would be great to.not using plug-ins though...thanx in advance

you cant create multiplayer game in 3dgamestudio except if you want something like turn based game, maybe then you can. but FPS, RTS, MMORPG and such stuff you cant create in 3dgs without plugins.

you should consider using the plugins because it's the best solution there is for multiplayer games in 3dgs. i recommend ANet plugin

actually, you can make a fps, but you have to know what is should be created client side and what should be created server-side, with optimal code you can do that, but alos you can't expect optimal-code from first time multiplayer programmer.

I am also tired of all this old whining about that you cant make a multiplayer game. Newbies should be helped and not scared away. Ok, in A6 days there was no MP tutorial and thus it was really hard for a beginner. But with A7, the tutorial explains step by step how to do a well working multiplayer game. Everyone should be able to create MP games now. So I think that this old whining should finally stop.

Gamestudios multiplayer functions work very well. In the other thread about ANET traffic, I made some test with a packet analyzer and found Gamestudio multiplayer very effective. External plugins cant really compare with Gamestudio in that regard. Using ANET caused six times more traffic than Gamestudio without ANET.

The best advice for any beginner is starting with the tutorial. Its also much easier to understand, the tutorial level needs far less code than an external plugin. Later then when you need some special commands from a plugin, learn using that as well.

which tutorial? it would be appreciated

@tobias: I finished some tests today. ANet produces less overhead and also sending data causes much less trafic then GS Network. I will release an article about ANet vs. GS Network soon, to clear things up. The article will include all source codes and executeables so that you can try things out yourself.

If you don't own GS Pro, you won't be able to finish a MP game because really necessary features are only available for Pro users (like sessions, data encryption). That's why plugins were created. The plugins allow you to use multiplayer even if you don't own an GS edition that supports multiplayer.

Try out my ANet plugin. I think it's easy to understand for beginners and it comes with several tutorials/howtos/examples.

well i have the pro version so that wont be a problem

there are step by step tutorials in several latest AUMs, you might wanna check that out

I would not recommend the AUM series to a beginner because it explains nothing about online games. The normal lite-C tutorial is better.

But its strange that you own the Pro edition and can't find the tutorials, which version number do you have?

I have gamestudio a7 pro and I have the tutorials but i guess im to prideful to read them...i guess i will have to
