Hi folks!

After a long time and hard work I proudly present the ANet Professional Version plus an Update (Version 1.1).

Version 1.1:
- less traffic thanks to internal optimization
- no poll functions any more
- better warning system
- better manual
- bug fixes

Professional Version:
- VoIP support (using Speex Codec)
- unlimited number of connections possible
- encryption
- udp/http functions for server lists, onnline hiqhscores, ...
- file functions for sending whole files (like levels)
- global player vars/strings (for statistics...)

The new demo can be found on my homepage in the download section. Or get it here.
Please also download the new manual and read the update/changes topic before using!

Everybody who already bought ANet Standard will get a free update to 1.1 per email soon.
If someone wants to upgrade from ANet Standard to ANet Professional you can get this in the shop.

From now on, it should be possible to create MMORPGS with gamestudio!

Have fun with messing around and report all bugs you find, please!

PS: Have I mentioned that you can create multizone servers even with the Standard version

I've uploaded the new tutorial/example script versions.

wow 99€
hmmm but i need it
i think i will buy it sooner or later =)

Way to much for a plugin in my opinion, almost $130 USD.

What I would really need in a multiplayer plugin, is a good dead reckoning function so that data must not be sent so often, and also entity updates should not be sent to clients that are outside the clip range. FTP and HTTP is also nice but I think not worth $130.

well... 99 Euro for a VoIP, unlimited connections and MultiZone Servers...

maybe you should make a version without 2 months of support for 20 euro less.
Just an idea, but next month, when i got my paycheck, i'm gonna go out and buy it.

Just need it, love the Voice over IP function wanna put that to the test.
and getting online highscores in a game is fun nevertheless.

Server Lists are great too, downside is you have to pay for a server as well to connect this all to :P oh well... hahahaa

thanks for the hard work man!

In the "real" world, 99€ is way too less for the time I had to spend on this
You get everything you need to create every multiplayer game you like. From mmorpg to a cs type game or whatever you like. And this even with the A6 Standard!
Oh, you should also think about how much you pay for native gs multizone support
And 99€ are not much. 2 games for ps3 cost more and with them you can't make money ^^

The price is more than fair!

But PS3 games don't require more work after a purchase

Sorry to randomly post

If 99€ are too much for you, you won't need the features of ANet Professional!

@Spirit: Update ranges can be programmed so easy! Just use vec_dist() and only send the new position if the distance isn't to big.
The problem with implenting death reckoning is, that you need an other death reckoning algorithm for racing games than for mmorpgs or an shooter.
Also death reckoning shouldn't be a problem for more experienced programers. There are a lot of good tutorials in the internet.

@Helghast: www.bplaced.net offers free 1 GB webspace with SQL,PHP,FTP without any commercials. This is all you need

Good news, and great work!

I will also buy for sure, 99€ is a little more than I expected. But of course I am also getting a LOT more than I expected when this plugin started!
And I'm sure it is well worth my 99€ if im also getting 2 months support.

Now I only need to find a good sql plugin for lite-C and im ready to go. hahaha.
