Online Game Development In Game Maker

Does anyone here use the program called "Game Maker"? If you do I'd like to have a discussion about the Online features of Game Maker.First of all I have a few questions for you regarding your preference on connecting.1. Do you like a IP/TCP, Serial Connection, Modem Connection, or DLX? Why do you think it's the best?2. Do you use Direct Connet (Mplay), or a Socket System (like GMSock)? What is you logic for this?3. How do you dead-reckon for games that involve a moving object?4. Do you prefer sending garaunteed messages or not garuanteed but faster messages, how do you decide on when to use each transmittion?

1. Definately IP/TCP, just because it's the best , don't know why, I just like it.2. GMSock, because MPlay is less safe and my father always wants the most safe-system so... 3. ???????????????? Don't understand the question ???????????????????? 4. I always use guaranteed messages, unless it takes to much time.greetingz, -= Me =-

I have RPG maker xp , i have create my game but i dont know how make a MMORPG cuz thzr aren't any obtion of server .... pleazz can you show me the way how can i connect my game tu the server ???

I've never used RPG Maker XP before, so I can't help you there.Warbird, dead-reckoning is where you write your script to geuss where a moving object should be at any given point if the data sent from one end doesn't transmit clearly, or breaks up somewhere.

I'm now starting a new online game using GMSock, however I've already done online, so now I'm going to try online and 3d at the same time, it might be a bit hard, however it'll be the 3d part, I've only tried 3D a few times.I don't think it'll be too hard, just need to make sure it's drawing perfectly...OK, well I'm off to go work on my game.

Hi I would like to design a multiplayer game using Game maker.Can anyone tell where can I find some information so I could follow to achieve that?Please reply to my mail or here!Thanks-Alex

I would suggest the yoyo games web site. It contains a tutorial on creating a multiplayer game using GML and game makers bult in multiplayer commands. You will need the paid version of game maker to use it though.

to make a mmorpg you are going need the following things

A SERVER running:

mysql

php

knowledge in php

knowledge in gml

apache

also you may need the user to play with sockets

its best to use a server which is owned by another companie that provides access to it. As using your own server will eat your internet connection it must be running 24/7 and general will be a pain as it will constantly want maintenance.

DO NOT USE A FREE ONE they will not serve php/mysql and will use your page like a advertising billboard. Make sure they give at least 10gb of space php/mysql (with at least 50 databases) I found a service that offered unlimeted mysql databases 750Gb of space and 7500gb of traffic/month for only $10 SO DO NOT PAY $100/M FOR IT
