Well I fount the old Neon files in one of my very old backups from whenever I quit it and since then I have began working with it and have taken the time to learn some Ruby...

I am not sure yet if I actually wanna bring the game back or if I am just working on this as a hobby but for now I am just showing off.
I have added the side bar which gives Pokemon stats at all times and moved the chatbox off the already small screen. I have also added in a more user-friendly request system for battling and trading. Lastly I have begun programming a player vs player battle system which is in early stages.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

I can make the tilesets from sprites found on the spriter's resource and other sites.

Yes, but they are not 32 by 32 tiles... So it will really make your game look out of proportion. Just a heads up...

The red is hp, the green is basically your power, the icon to the left is your energy attack and the blue bar is exp..

^^ I had played that game before... either way, before the hud is made, I would consider looking for some tilesets, cuz for dbz, there are none XD.

Not really, no. Besides, it's RMXP unrelated. This is Ruby. If you have a monster server with 256 cores and 100 Gbps network connection, you can let it handle 10000 users if you want. The limit option is so your server doesn't get overloaded. Nobody wants a lagging server with 500 players online. It's better to run it properly with 100 players.

Agreed.

But, with Windows PC's it only allows 10 connections before giving an error. If you have a server edition of windows you are fine. If not, then it is time to take the great journey to Ubuntu

Just lol.

Agreed.

But, this is something to remember for the next person that has this problem.

I was going to say, last I check the flowers in my Pokemon game were still moving....

But, I do not use Blizz ABS in my game either XD

Sounds great .

Yup .
I know we talked about the battle system you said it would be awhile before you could do but do you know if you will have any time in the near future to work out the thread errors?

if your having this much trouble then you should consider giving up and finding something less technically involved, running a server is going to be a huge challenge for you if you know this little about using a computer.
in answer to your question. have your tried maybe looking at the help file your your manager? I can guarantee you that you will find a section about running SQL queries. one you find the interface you need just copy paste the code from the file into the editor and press start or execute or what ever your manager has.

OR have you even tried going to "file, open" if you find an option that says "sql script" then use it, navigate to the database sql script and open it. it should then bring up an interface to run the script.

if you can figure this out then you should REALLY consider giving up. this is the VERY VERY EASY part of running a server.

also the IP address you use in your Config will either need to be 127.0.0.1 if you plan on using it on your computer or you EXTERNAL IP if you want others to be able to connect.

I agree with this completely. Although, I remember my first time trying to use Netplay 2.0 O.o, Blizz and I were in a convo for over 2 hrs and he was trying to walk me though how to set up MySql... I think we finally got it working and I didnt like it XD.

It says it in the manual....

But the bugs that are fixed are trading with self and buddying with self.

well overall this is not a RMX-OS error so you are probably better of using google... I do not know much about this...

Well, stop the mysql service and then it should let you edit the files it uses.

"Server did not respond." Is the error I am getting when I try to hit the enter key on the server list... any ideas?


Edit: I just re-tried and it worked...

Prevent Zombie CLients is true

For ubuntu I got the ruby package by typing "sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full" into the terminal. That is strait from the Ruby website. That version and the windows version should be the same.

Edit: Here is a picture of the threads... the server THINKS there is 50 people online. There are 74 threads though. Which is nothing compared to 15 people with 60 something threads like yesterday

It is a MySql user problem. Considering it isn't working with your query browser and what not you can determine that it is NOT a RMX-OS error so just google it.

I let the server run all day today while I was at school. When I came back, I logged on and was able to use the chatbox and save. The ATES however was not working properly.

Anyways. The Ubuntu server and the host win2000 hack seemed to work. I have requested my father to bring the server home and I will install Ubuntu as the main operating system which will remove a limit of connections what so ever.

The only weird thing I have left though, is that even though 6 people were online. When I tried to use print Thread.list.inspect over 50 threads came up. O.o

I am not sure if this means anything, from in-game the server looked fine. Overall I am okay if it stays that way but I am concerned that it maybe consuming ram or maybe a bug of not closing the threads completely.

Other than that everything is now fine and it seems like it was just windows blocking the server.

I believe so too. But 1 time the server gave a out of connections error or something similar it never happened again.

When Ryex tested RMX-OS on his computer he had 4 threads and yes, only 1 was running.

Also, I have an Ubuntu computer up and running. It had the same error with the 10 current connection because it is virtual and the host was 2000 pro. I have run a hack and it will now allow more than 10 connections. I will see if everything is working when I get home.

If so, it was a win2000 thing.

PNO could win the best online   

I do agree there aren't too many games here. But if it happened maybe just once as a tribute to Blizzard it may work out.
