MZ - Alpha NET Z. Multiplayer plugin [Update 0.8 + ABS]

So every time I try to connect via hotSeat I get an error that says TypeError Cannot read property "actorId" of null.
I am using SRD_CharacterCreator, SRD_DynamicActors, and SRD_AltMenuScreen_KH in conjunction with this plugin.

Yes.


I don't know the exact date, I just started working on it


Thanks for bug report. I will check it and try fix.

I would just like to update and say that I switched the first two plugins for SRD_CharacterCreatorEX and SRD_CCEX_DynamicActors, respectively. Still get the same error.

Bug: If an enemy has multiple skills that it can use, the animation and use message (Enemy casts Heal!) will not always be the same as it is on others' screens. Like an enemy could use an attack, but on someone else's screen the enemy is using a heal.

The attack will still deal damage as normal though.

Some news.

Now I'm working on a multiplayer game mode.

What's done: (build 800)
- players can be on different game maps
- players can take part in separate battles (PvE)



- nameplates for players with different style supports



What's doing:
- PvP battles (standard MV battle system)

omg! that so Cool!

I am considering becoming a patreon, but I want to know:

Can you make an MMO with this?
How does it handle databases so players keep their progress after they leave the game and then come back later?
How secure is this system from tampering by players who wold want to alter things on the client side?

Technically Alpha NET is a very complex plugin. So I started develop it with the basics (coop, multiplayer session).
If I have good support, I will constantly develop it, add new features and capabilities.
Technically the server is made so that it is possible to make MMO. But first i want implement basic multiplayer concepts.

In the future i will add opportunity to add encryption to the data transferred between the client and the server.

There is no complete database now, everything is stored in the server memory while the multiplayer session is running. You can save and load the game in file.

Demo Project with different events and NET commands examples (based on version 0.6.774)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jnlu5g5g2sxin6/AlphaNET_0.6.774_Demo.rar?dl=0

is possible to let player choose player id or actor id before connecting? For example, before connecting, player choose player ID 3 , so after he connects, he can get actor 3.

No, you can't change Actor ID in game (after player is been connected). But you can change actor class, image, name and etc through standard event commands.

In future versions i will make this opportunity

By the way, I'm very glad to see that you are continuing the development of this awesome project!! My dreams of make my own online game is closer! I would like to credit you with your real name and surname in the future, Vladimir, keep up the good work.

Hey ! Interesting work ! I'd like to know one thing that may be a dumb question but anyway :

How can I make it work with extra computers ? Like I want to play with my friends being on their own phones / computers.

Thanks.

I tried the plugin, when I use split screen it works and when I use another PC with the same wifi network it works. However someone with a different wifi network does not work. Do you know why this is happening? BTW do I need to port foward.

Are you using Hamachi? You need it in order to play with people that have different networks, just make them join your connection and copy the ipv4 of the person you want to join.

Ok cool, so do I need to download it or both people have to download it?

Both people have to download it and be connected to your network, if you look on youtube there should be plenty of tutorials to help you out!

Will it be possible to eventually have players that download the game to connect to a central server so building an MMO is possible?

Not yet. Now it is p2p
