OLD THREAD: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=35403&b=8

Well I am back, and so is Daikanu Online.

I dont want to jynx myself, but the best way I can put it is, good things are coming again if you catch my drift.

Currently you can,
-Create Accounts
-Create upto 3 characters (I have to check that lol)
-Log in
-See other clients
-Move around n such
-log out with character data saved
Currently working on re-adding
-Chat
-Combat

Small Changes
-No more txt file editing to change name which last time if done inpromperly would cause server crash
-Client no longer spams logs in main folder but discreetly has it's own folder named "NETWORK DATA"
-The engine is designed better due to my better code management thingymajig (basically before I was sucky at coding now iam alot better)
-I am 99% sure that it will not crash from something simple like a missing file or illegal deletion number as I strictly worked it so that it will still run even if certain files are not there...it may not function correctly but it should not crash
-And it should run overall better because its not like I stated earlier as crappy code

What I am to achieve, A test area with multiple monsters on the server at levels in different areas that can be worked in a way I can expand upon based on scaling..so I will get to adding items,weapons,magic soon but first its reworking the basics that was in last time.

Anyway I hope to have more for you soon if anyone is still interested in this project, this is now officially YEAR 4 for this project..

And one last thing, this is in my mind the last major rewrite, from here I can just edit the engine without it breaking everything because now everything is not interlocked like it used to be... byes for now

No, I actually started rewriting it last year, Iam no longer doing a rewrite because from here I can work on it the way I want to, I still need to add scripting but its not like before, Its not hardcoded like it used to be.

Well, iam here to post a picture as I am not quite ready to release a test demo because iam working on adding alittle bit of media to the project so from first glance it does not look like a "cube on a matrix orpg" which iam pretty sure people think it is

Iam currently working on some HUD problems I just ran :/
and working on LOD again and playing around with some other media..

So in the next test there will be some trees and rocks on the map among the monsters maybe I will get around to finding some models with animation to use..other than the generic dwarf model :p

@Roxas I would to, but when I do work I constantly rewrite portions, test and find ways to make them smaller. In total I think ive done about around 50,000+ lines or more if you count rewrites, freehand codes that I deleted out etc etc etc..

Ok iam really playing around I have my models ready for LOD
but iam stressing to see how many I can get on screen
so far 1600 Trees with the Double plane billboard and its running pretty good, 30ish FPS..

Iam pretty sure I can get more FPS out if I rework the way my engine handles objects to a more efficient way.

Well, I dont really post much but I am still working on this project from time to time

Currently seeking a good scripting plugin for DBPro so that I can make a better client and just leave the rest as the engine

Ive been currently working on the engine as I thought it was ready for a test but I found some bugs that I wanted to squash now, for example HUD system was not working properly with some buttons but they are being fixed, and working on increase FPS rate by fixing up some code, currently it is running at 70ish FPS which is really bad since before it ran at 200 to 300FPS on my computer

Anyway, more news to come
