[XP] RPG Maker XP Online System (RMX-OS)

[element]

so with freedb you wont need a computer to be constantly on and its free ?

[G_G]

no freedb is just a place for a free mysql database, your computer will always have to be on still for the server to always be on

[Lost King]

Well, this remote database stuff has gotten me...rather confused. So, back to MySQL, I have another computer, it's rather shitty but it runs, it has XP, and has agreed to install MySQL as well as complete the Setup. All I need now is the Database manager, does anyone have suggestions on what to download? I'm sort of lost on it. Also, can I run the server off of that computer, since it's always on and connected to the internet, while I work on the actual game on my good computer?

Navicat is a good MySql manager.

Yes, you can run a server off that computer.

[Lost King]

Thank you so much, hopefully I can finally get this all settled and actually get around to making a game.

how do we add the chat box in other scenes?

[Blizzard]

Just check out the additional code for Scene_Map in RMX-OS. Basically you need to instantiate the two windows (chat and chat input) and update them every frame.

Happy day! I've finally gotten it working. Now, I'm running the server off my crap computer, how do I go about updating the game from my normal computer? I've got Hamachi and I'll need to get around setting up that connection.
Nevermind, I've figured it out. Nearly crapped myself when I saw my character from this computer on my computer upstairs.

is there a free host to get the server running without my computer always being on ?
just asking :p

[Jackolas]

who would you think would have a pc/server on 24 hours a day sucking power, do maintenance and not ask for a fee.

just question yourself that

I gone run mine on the private server of my online community, if I can get it to work :p

Note that you'll most likely need to have an ISP with decent upload speeds for that. Mine, at least, does not, so I can't host a server of any kind and have people outside my LAN access it in any decent amount of time.

[Ryex]

it really is too bad that you can't run the $network stuff in another thread. it would fix a lot of bugs, i think, if you could...

[Blizzard]

That would create more problems than solve, trust me. xD

[element]

quick question.
Is RMX-Os already compatible with Blizz abs ?

[Jackolas]

nope.... not yet

I think blizz is working on it

[Pragz]

So does anyone have a working MMO I can take a look at? I'm not asking for a complete game, just a little setup I can join to view how it works. Would be wonderful if someone does!

[Jackolas]

sorry. only have the basics done of mine.

if you want an almost finished 1 I suggest looking at this:

downside is you will only see the finished product. not how its done.

[Nerd101]

Blizzard, I have a few questions about this?

-Does it work with Blizz-ABS?
-For the server for your game to run, does your computer have to be constantly on to run the server, or does it run itself without any constant input from a seperate user?

[edwardthefma]

Nerd101
the answer to you question is no rmx-os is not compatible with blizzabs

yes you server client has to be running constontly for rmx-os to be working
thare are alternatives tho you can use rmx-os with a deban linux shell
but good luck finding a free shell most are pay and thave rules thay say you cant run any kind of game server
just make shur it has the right requirements for rmx-os  ruby1.9.1 and a mysql

http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,5055.0.html
thare you will find the fix to make it work with linux

Hey,

Blizzard this is some awesome stuff, had it working in 5 mins.

But sometimes i walking in to different maps and none of the events show up.

I also used variables to update my quest system if i need to change anything.
