I should put up my own picture as avatar again. People have forgotten who I am. #_#

hehe but take the picture in a suit.. and take the same position like barney ^^

Are you really singing this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6S5caRGpK4 ?

loool you didn't know that? XD He is also an actor in the TV-Show How I Met Your Mother.. and in his freetime he make RMXP Scripts    
and he has still time to answer our questions..
All Stars should be like Blizzard

On my PC see no difference ^^  but on my laptop.. omfg..  (rmxp uses only one core -.-)  unplayable without abseal.

for the multiplayer it makes no difference (didn't mention one).
Do Blizz-ABS use the same code to do the work of Abseal? (If I understand correctly it have his own abseal)

But still the lag.. I will now delete all scripts except the 3 rmx os scripts.. and then I try it with blizz-abs  (I see a lot of drop table^^)

Edit:
I think I will stay with blizz abs and rmx-os.. the lag could be worse. I think its better as without blizz-abs oO.. but there is really no abseal with the controller.
Now it lags even on my PC on the big Test Map..
But I understand why abseal can't be on blizz-abs with rmx-os.
I hope your ARC Project precedes.. I really want to change the engine  (would be cool if you get it compatible with all scripts.. like rmx-os.. or something similar.. but native implemented multiplayer is essential)

ps: hey blizz, you are a good singer   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6S5caRGpK4  -epic-

for playing with a Gamecontroller, use XPadder. http://www.xpadder.com/  with this little software you can emulate every keyboard button on your controller (even mouse events)

and blizz abs works fine with win 7.
(normally .net framework should be installed after installing win 7.. its very useful)

ABSEAL doesn't work well with RMX-OS. You can try, but it's likely that you have problems. I haven't really tested ABSEAL with RMX-OS, but I can see many potential problems.

What are the differences between your maps?

I didn't realised any difference with Abseal or without.. but I will made some tests (not today, my head feels like it gonna expload)

I don't know the difference.. first I thought its about the map size.. but its not.. and also the script amount has no effekt.. (maybe coincidence).. tomorrow I hope my brain feels not like eaten by a zombie.. then I will make some tests..

good night..

Hey Blizz, do you have any ideas why the lag is variable on different maps?

I have some maps that lags so much that the game even slow downs if some other player moves around.
And on another map its nearly perfect sync without any lag. There are almost no scripts (we do only mapping at the moment) on both maps.. but why this huge difference?

Other Question, shoud I use Blizz Abseal? (i don't use blizz abs)

thx

You don't do that. You run your server on your local IP (NOT localhost but an IP like 192.168.x.x) and forward the ports to your machine with that IP. In the client configuration of RMX-OS you enter the external IP.

you are always faster.. but I can confirm you need only to set up your lan IP. your port forwarding is appointed to a lan ip.. and thats the ip you need in the config.

I will add this information and very likely the files to the next RMX-OS release. You are pretty much the first to properly made it run on a Linux system so you will be given special thanks for your contribution.

thx thats really cool 

ok I will try that later..

I have some new problems.. I use Ubuntu 10.04lts with ruby 1.9.1 and mysql5

edit:

RMX-OS.rb:4:in `require': /home/rmxp/mysql.so: invalid ELF header - /home/rmxp/mysql.so (LoadError)
        from RMX-OS.rb:4:in `<main>'

maybe I need a different mysql.so for linux?  I will search..

edit2:
ok i found it here http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,5055.0.html

but now i have this error

libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /home/rmxp/mysql.so 

I will search..



edit3:

I MADE IT MOTHER FU§§§ %"§%"..
apache, tomcat, mysql, java, ruby..  and now this shit.. 8 hours of my lifetime.. and now it works.. (I never want to be a linux admin)


For all Users with Ubuntu and MySql >5.1.x
first you need the modified version of mysql.so  from here http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,5055.0.html
big thx @ edwardthefma

and then you need libmysqlclient15 (because 15 isn't existent since mysql5.1)  you can get it here http://automation.binarysage.net/?page_id=315
thats the last source wich is online and has these files!!  (here is the install tut http://automation.binarysage.net/?p=1311)

Just copy the file to your server, cd to this folder and type

dpkg -i libmysqlclient15off_5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.5_i386

and then you can finally start RMX-OS..
Blizzard, pls distribute the libmysqlclient15 deb files or at least write that in the manual.. or update all your database stuff to use the new libmysqlclient.


have a nice day..

last edit: since rmx-os doesn't run with a daemon or something like that the RMX-OS Server will be closed after you close your Putty(SSH Session)..
with this behaviour you don't need a server if you always need to run putty on a computer..
But you can start the Ruby Script with a & at the end..

ruby RMX-OS.rb &

and it will be run as Orphan Process if you close the window..

pls add this to the faq or manual.

54629 in the settings of the server and port forwarded.. .. hmm  ok maybe its his firewall or UAC..  I will try with several other friends.. maybe it will work someday on a root server

interesting story and yes.. never depend on kids or teenagers.

But that could also happen with adults..  my first rmxp project (2005) starts really good.. after one week over 50 maps... at my last vacation week I was abroad.. and scripted every night (I hadn't internet) when I come back I got only 5 maps and they play silkroad  ..  never touched rmxp again until last week..

I hope this time my dev-team will keep to the end.. I'm positive minded, because some of them already play WoW.. and the other ones hate it.. so nothing can go wrong 

The Plugin is below the RMX-OS script and above the main.
The Extension is loaded and like i said it works fine for me.. but not for my friends.
I tried it in a virtual box and it works fine too.. so I don't have any idea why it doesn't work outsite..

One thing is, I can only connect through local ip adresses (192.168..) or over loopback (127..)  if I try to connect over my outside IP (wich is shown as online) I can't connect, my friends can. But I think that behaviour is normal. But with this I can reconstruct the error message. .. but that doesn't help very much why every one can connect to my server but the update don't work..

Game doesn't start.

undefined method..

i changed the code like you said..
and the other scene_title I also tried..  and why Scene_Servers at first and Scene_Network on second..

Hi short question. I can update in my Lan without any problems. Now a friend tested it (normaly we work with svn) and he can't update. Always a error with Server did not respond. Normal connection works fine.

maybe you know the problem.. or do I need a other port forwarded?

---Bugs found---

Nr.:              01
Name:          Location Names with Pictures or Text by Blizzard
Description:  If I use ID then name = nil  I get a big error msg box by changing to the map.
it works with pictures
(using with rmx-os) in the text is written that it corrupts savegames so i made a new account but didnt help.. (drop table shouldn't help?!)

Nr.:             02
Name:         Animated Title by Blizzard
Description: not working at all.. not compatible with the rmx-os start menu??

DELAY = 2 # change the delay
PICS = 9 # number of pictures/frames

I followed the instructions.

Oh ok.. Tons of Addons.. the name is adequate..

If you need some people for tests just let me know.. my friends/dev team and I will help you gladly.
our time zone is CEST / GMT+1.



Edit:
there is a bug if you use rmx-os with the seperate minimap. I don't remember this bug at Blizz-ABS but with this minimap I can switch with F5 between different views, not every view is updatet. I switched often that I get the chat and the Minimap..  but on a test with friends we realize that the chat isn't updated.. you just don't see any text.. again I click f5 to find a view which updates the chat.. but then the minimap isn't updated..


anyway I deactivated all unnecessary scripts.. it cause only lag.. (like global time & night) its not much but the amount counts..
tomorrow I should get my v-server.. I'm curious how the lag will be..

thx for your respond... I totally forgot that there isn't any Load Menu  

And yes you could write it to the db, changing the tables wouldn't be that difficult but I think there is no need for a bunch of global variables.

Its a bit offtopic but I tried your Blizz-ABS with rmx-os and the needed extension.. it worked fine but it was very laggy with over 4 players.
Is that the current state of those modifications combined or did I something wrong?
But I don't need a ABS so urgent. I like the old FF battle systems. I hope there will be no problems with a sideview battle system and rmx-os. (I didn't tried yet.. I wonder what happens to other players if they go infight). But I want the Minimap from Blizz-ABS. I don't think it would be trivial to extract the code from your ABS and didn't find some minimap in the script database.. but maybe you can help me out with this.


Have a good weekend!

Hi Blizzard.
sorry if you already answered this question (maybe it should be in the faq) but what happens if the User saves his game and load it? I still don't understand everything what is saved in the mysql database (and some other rmx-os extensions save in a .dat).
I made some tests and the server saves so much that I only need to login. (great work) So I thought to disable the save menu.
Is that a good idea (data inconsistency if loading???) or is it better to save and load (don't think so).

Maybe I should study the manual better, because I'm not sure wich switches and variables are stored in the db (I think all).

If save is not recommended it would be nice if rmx-os disables that.

Ps: is there somewhere a api for the ruby commands in rmxp? my maker refuses to help me with f1  
the last time I worked with RPG Maker was before I studied now I'm more interested in the script commands like player_actor.die or something like that ^^ but at least a command list would be nice..

thx alot

It is in the extension Folder.  But I give file names like I want.. (you see at the screenshot). All other Scripts are running so I don't think that the file name must be the same like the script name    and I write the file names in the Extension array (cfg.ini).
When I start the server the extensions are loaded correctly.

But I will check it again. I'm not home at the moment. Maybe I made a mistake.. it was 5am  



Edit:
I checked all, the script is loaded after User Logger by the server. In rmxp the Script is below RMX-OS..  no errors. Then /online and crash.. its not working.. I don't think its my failure because all other extensions work.. the documentation is a bit short.. only that User Logger must load before.

Hello my Heros

I get the same error if i use /online.
