Creating A Server

Creating A Server - 12/14/06 18:13
Is there a way where the game can connect to a computer that has all the resource files? Where lets say the user has the main game "whatever.exe" when they run it it will connect to the computer and get the objects,sounds,etc. This Way It Takes No Space On The Othere Persons Computer. Also Where I Can Use My Own Custom Loading Screen And It Will Give Detials About What The Server Is Doing Like "Connecting,Failed.etc.
Is This Possible?!

You can put a downloadlink to the gamefiles on a web-server,
that you host on you computer.
The clients download and install the game.

Dude, trust me, you aren't ready for MP. If you don't know scripting then I am sure you didn't write that MP code yourself. Multiplayer is probobly the hardest thing that Gamestudio can handle. You don't want to start with multiplayer if you don't know how to script. Read some basic tutorials. Then read Locoweeds MP tutorial.

A legal copy wouldn't hurt either.

I Did Read His Tutorial. And I Can Script But Not That Good. I Did Read LocoWeeds MP Tutorial Is There Strings Where I Can Put In My Script Where I Can Get The Files Of The Internet? Like Main.whatever The I Can Enter A IP And Location Or Just A IP And Folder?
Posted By: khanoftruth
Re: Creating A Server - 12/16/06 03:30
Not sure what you mean, but in the command line you can enter -ip xx.xxx.xx.xx or whatever the target IP address is. If the IP has a dynamic IP than you are in trouble, and need to set up a port access, through -port xxxx (i think, it's in the manual, but I am not sure as I test my games through LAN).

I cannot understand these guys (or girls, whatever!)
They write in their profile, that they have an illegal version. That's about the same as making your first post, telling that you have an illegal version and if that is OK with Conitec.
I guess the world is full of dum*as*es...

Why is 6.2 an illegal copy?

Re: Creating A Server - 12/16/06 18:15
6.20 is a commonly warez version.

Besides The Point,
Lets Say Can I Connect To A IP And Get A Files? Or Uses A Computer Where The Files Are Stored Like ME:/Game/*.*?

Re: Creating A Server - 12/16/06 20:57
You can't do that through SED. You might be able to write a Java script for it, but that is basically P2P (peer-to-peer). The easiest way to do that is through Java. I have never heard of running a client through someone else's computer, though.

Can I use A FTP? Like

Posted By: khanoftruth
Re: Creating A Server - 12/16/06 22:37
I don't know about the FTP, but it is easy to turn your computer into a server. Just give all of the client a command line saying -ip xxxxxxxx (whatever your IP is). Basically, you set your computer up as a web server.

Re: Creating A Server - 12/17/06 00:50
World of Warcraft or Battlefield 2?
WOW is possible, but very unlikely to be done in Gamestudio. For that, you will probobly want (at minimum) the Unreal Engine 2 ($8000 USD). Battlefield 2 could be done in Gamestudio, but the graphics wouldn't be as good. I am currently making a BF2 like game.
For any of that, though, you need to be damned good at scripting.

Is it just me, or the flashy MMORPG screens which you can see on almost every gaming site's webpage and the fact that 3DGS offers multiplayer capabilities, really messes with the brains of the people one could normally call "a newbie"? Because when someone asks questions such as "Do I have to have Windows installed?" or says something sort of like "Yes I Have A Multiplayer Code But Im No Scripter", it kinda gets me thinking... What can I say, to not sound like a pure critic, but also give some pointers? Well, first of all, forget multiplayer, I have a feeling deep inside me you will quit the first day you started. It might be the pizza I ate, but I'm 99% sure it's my intuition. Secondly, get a legal version! No matter, what some people try to say, 6.22 is and always will be an illegal version. Not updating just makes no sense. And most importantly, learn english (Quite useful you know...) and start making small games. Hmm, I have a strong sense of 'deja vu', like I'm not the only one who has said this, but I also have a strong sense that this guy hasn't been reading the forums, so - what does he know!
And actually, I think I wrote this long post for nothing, because the guy will get banned from the forums and even if he reads this, he will not listen to me, and will still do it his way (Wherever that may lead to...)
Goodnight everybody!
Oh, and I saw that the user I'm talking about made a new post 3 minutes ago, so this is an another pointer to him, regarding said last post:

You know what you should do? Make some game files first! Or better yet, let me just wave my little pink magic wand and give you anything you want, like the perfect MMORPG game, just because I like you and I want you to become stinking rich in your 13. And do you want fries... oops, I mean programming skills with that?

look here:
http://www.realmcrafter.com/ and your dream will come true with ease, though without fun, without effort and without much thinking and learning.
besides, there's a plugin for 3dgs called PS_HTTP, it supports POST and GET requests. if you think some minutes then you'll possibly remark that you can use em with PHP, and make a PHP script conecting to your webserver while using FTP, download the files there, and you got what you wanted: a filebase server. i know it works, i tried it myself.
plugin's here:

He obviously has an illegal copy. Lets make obvious observations. How many people here dished out either 300$ or 900$ right off the bat for the commercial or professional edition with out research using the standard version 1st? 2nd of all how many of those users made the choice of buying the com or pro just after posting only 13 times on the forums, and not learning to script, since there are no real multiplayer templates as of yet? I HATE THEIFS,

Re: Creating A Server - 12/17/06 09:54
Well, at least someone here agrees with me...
I really like the fact that GDOG think he ONLY needs to know how to turn his compter into a server, to make an a*skicking MMORPG!
Well, OK. I'll tell you.
1) You unscrew everything you can on your pc
2) Inside you'll see a bunch of wires. You need to cut only 2. Look for a a black and red wire, tied together. If you cut them, it will incerase the processing speed.
3) To get more memory, paint your hard drive with black paint, because the drive capacity depends on the sunlight, and black color atracts that light.
4) To further increase capacity and speed, uninstall all the unnecessary software, like Antivirus, Firewall etc.
5) And download an Anti-spyware program, this is very important. Browse some porn sites to get that piece of software.
Do this, and "BOOM" - you have your very own high-sped server. Press the little black button on it's back, and that's what it takes to get game files too your 1'000'000 clients. Happy game making!
Oh, and you must continue to write everything Like This, Because That Is Really L33t, And It Shows You Are A Serious 13-Year-Old.

Re: Creating A Server - 12/17/06 12:31
hey, why don't you take him serious?
to set up a server on your pc, install a server software such as apache (www.apache.org), or - my favourite - xampp (http://www.apachefriends.org/de/xampp.html). you'll find tutorials on how to set it up on the pages. note that xampp is not suited for real-world usage, because it's quite insecure.

Re: Creating A Server - 12/17/06 14:58
I'm not obliged to take anyone using an illegal version and asking dumb questions without listening to the answers, seriously. I mean, he asks something and then disagrees with the answer. Now that's serious, don't you think? And another thing, people like this make me laugh.
OK, I have spammed this thread long enough. No more comments from me.

Steps to making a MP game on 3DGS:
1) Update to the latest version, 6.5x.
2) Tell us if you have Standard, Commercial, or Pro
3) Now we can start a serious discussion.
Any version prior to 6.5 will have buggy and/or inefficient network code.
Any version but Pro will have in-complete network code.
Thus updating will not only allay our suspicions that you are using an illegal copy but will also set you on the right path to MP.

Re: Creating A Server - 12/17/06 17:09
Out of curiosity, how is Commercial different than Pro in multiplayer, other than in a player cap.

You can not connect dynamically to a server with a commercial version.
You can not run more than one server per pc. You can run several servers at different ports on a single machine with Pro.

Easy. Take your username and password that you got when you bought gamestudio, go to the download page, and download the latest version (which is 6.4 actually).
No reason not to do it if you can.
he means if you bought it. Since you didnt do this anways so hopefully they can de-activate ur not so legal version.. the top secret "free" pro edition
BTW someone made a comment where you need to upgrade to 6.5 in order to make multiplayer games, because the prior versions are bugged. Well i'm using 6.4 and its fine, and as I understand it when a new engine upgrade comes out such as when 6.4 came out, it has bugs until made final (put on the download page). Last time i check it was still in trials, then again i might be out of date lol.

By the way, I agree with PrenceofDarkness. I am using 6.4 and it works fine for multiplayer.
And about that gamemaker thing. It sucks one. It cost like $40 USD. And every game made for it looks the exact same: like Doom 95.

Re: Creating A Server - 12/18/06 22:33
flip the numbers and you're right. but hey, i won't cry if he went there.
LMAO DABRO0ZAR i wouldnt miss him either.
It takes a real genious to say "The 3d GameMaker" is pro. An engine is program that starts you with nothing, the reason for this is because your suppost to create your own game, and it's not something just any old new can do. Let me stop calling you a mentally challanged, and let me start helping you out. 1st and most important, BUY STANDARD! This way you will be able 2 sell ur games one day without being smacked across the @$$ with a super FU LAW suite that will break your momma's bank account. Start small, figure out how the templates work and read the AUMs. Go from manipulating some else's script to making your own eventually when you full understand. As you get better upgrade to the next edition of the engine. At this point we'll all treat you a bit more serious and stop wondering if you still have mommy change your diper for you.
But until you get 3dgamestudio LEGAL edition (incase you can't break my coded sarcasim i ment standard edition) at least do us all one big favor (and i strongly encourage this for the sake of your self-esteem as well) stop making us laugh at you by continuesly posting theses senceless posts, and SHUT UP
