A few questons... - bobsta63 - 09-02-2008

Me and a friend are about to start developing a new MMORPG and I am currently looking for a suitable game engine to run it on, Basically I would like to ask if Mirage supports the following (out of the box):

[*]Keys (To unlock building etc.)
[*]Quest scripts (To enable a quest)
[*]Do weapons show on the player by default?
[*]Can you make players mine/gather/fish.

Thanks in advance,
Bobby

keys yes everything else needs to be added
there are however
tutorials floating around here for most(if not all) of them

Keys to make doors open yes... as for paperdolling, quest scripts, and noncombat actions (mining) are not in it and you would have to add that yourself, which is the best thing to do to make a mmorpg so you understand how its runs.

Didn't spoon just say that?

Keys are in there by default.

Paperdoll is tutorialised somewhere are here.

The other two you'd have to add yourself, although if you just spend a month or so working with the engine you should be able to make a working system for both of those.

Thanks for your help guys, A couple more last questions if I may...

1) On the downloads page it say it requires Direct X, Does this game differ from other engines such as Elysium Source (as they dont advertise the need for DirectX) - Or is it the same they just didnt post that? - From what I understnad all these VB6 Engines came from the same original code and therefore wouldn't they all require DX?

2) Does Mirage Source work with Microsoft Vista? - I would just hate to develop a huge game and then a couple of years down the line when WinXP/2000 becomes outdated and most people using MS Windows all use Vista and then they can not play it.

Thanks in advance, Bobby

1- all engines like mirage source were probably based off of mirage source
and thus they all use direct X

2- mirage source does work with vista however the people at Microsoft have plans of
totally dropping support for vb6 in the next version of windows after vista
(ie: vb6 programs will never work on it)

hope this helps

Yes he did but I added the fact that it would be better if he added those himself
