Multi Player game with Single character and direct login. - genusis - 08-11-2008
Ok this tutorial is to change it so there is only 1 character

Really, this is the easy way. A real conversion should join AccountRec and PlayerRec and REMOVE MAX_CHARS constant.

Does this make sure the CanMove part of the code doesnt bump you into other players?

OH, if you change max_players to 1, it only checks if you're in the way of yourself.
Probably would be better to remove that part of the code

It'd be better for a lot to be re-written & no Server. =-p
Or just full-instanced.
But this is so you can only have one character.

i don't think you understand the concept of this ^^.
Well ok it is for when you have a multi player game but don't want people to have 3 characters like on frmchar the lstchar shows 3< this gets rid of two of them, and sets it to active frmnewchar after you make a new account so once you make your account it opens up frmNewChar then you make your Character then it saves it to slot 1. After this when you go to login it doesn't not go to the frmchar screen anymore

That's the way I wanted him to do it, meh, I guess you'll never know the difference if you're just someone playing the game.
Thanks for the credit, Genusis, but to your credit, I never typed a single line of code.
Glad you got this sorted out like you wanted.

genusis Wrote:Well, the code was made to be 2 or more characters per account, so if you remove this ability, the correct thing to do would be remove the code that handles more than 1 char. The way your tut makes it, you basically declares an array of one position, which is weird and useless xD, but it works...Dragoons Master Wrote:Really, this is the easy way.

Re: Multi Player game with Single character and direct login. - genusis - 08-11-2008
but i also change it so the regular subs that use 2 or more are change to using only 1 since now Maxchar =1 so that fixes the mutli char stuff right there ^^ and saves only 1 Char to your account.bin and so on. and login is still smooth and so is creating a character ^^.
