Is There Any (Game Source's Released?) also is it Possible For Online Multiplayer?

I've no idea what you mean by "is there any (game source's released)" - please clarify.


For online multiplayer, we have a number of threads on this subject already - please do a quick search before asking. The short answer is, no, there are no scripts available for online multiplayer Ace.

What do you mean by Game Sources? Games where they're unencrypted and you can open them? Yea, there's a bunch of those. RPG Maker has an official one you can download, Crysalis. There are also some others available that are 'open source'.

Multiplayer and any internet connection in general is not included in any RPG Maker, you need to implement it in yourself through scripts and possibly a C++ DLL for extended usage.

wow. really make the actual custom script my self. ok ill do it lol, and SOURCE's (Game Files?)

There are some open source games that you can look at, though most games people make aren't because it takes a long time to make some of the games posted here. I'd recommend checking out the completed projects forum, as well as rpgmaker.net to try to find some open source games.

Online multiplayer isn't something that would be easy to implement, as it would require all the core gameplay parts of the engine to be rewritten to support multiple characters, you'd have to write a server to handle connections between players and where to send the data to, and tweak the difficulty to account for more than one person at a time, among other things. It's certainly possible, most things you can think of are, it's just the practicality of doing them that would cause you not to.

I'd probably go with RMX-OS http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=3869.0


Not for Ace, but it's a start.

jakeyiii, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.

If by "Sources" you mean the programming source code - the entire game engine script is visible when you open the script editor in the game editor.

The game editor itself is NOT open and you'll finde no code from it, but that isn't neccessary as the game's code is fully visible in the script editor.

You might also search the forum for previous discussions on multiplayer and network gaming, there have been discussions about how to program such a thing in the past.

One warning: If you really want to do that, then you're looking at several months of full-time work, because you have to start from scratch/zero.

There is exactly one script available for basic online operations like managing a highscore (look for it on the master script list), and that is not enough for online gaming.

And a server for online gaming is also needed - you need to program that as well because nothing like that exists yet.

Actually before you even talk about "hosting online RPG games" I would prefer if you clarified what you are trying to do.

I was also thinking of scripts that adds multiplayer, but I think that's imposible

Edit 1: *Impossible

Fomar has a project that provides some multiplayer support up and running.
