To have a chat window, you would have to first have a script that allows you to connect to the internet from within RPG Maker. Do you have such a script?
I guess someone could adapt the mysql one and do it via a database. It has a login and everything but not sure if anyone is willing to take that extra mile. Downside is most people here don't have a website. Ohh if only there was more game to website type features :)
MANY people have requested scripts that will allow them to play online. Though yours is simpler, it still requires the ability to send and receive data over the internet. What server would you use?
I don't think you're going to get anyone to do it, because of the sheer complexity.
I think there might be some conflicts here. I think what Shaz is saying is no one would host the server portion for you... Now if you have your own web host or vps and setup then perfect! They are really cheap these days... It's done via Php/mysql... You can get one for a couple bucks a month might not be the most stable but yeah.
But if you have your own site then good...
I personally have my own server and would love someone make a chat system. But I assume not many people would period.
nah - I wasn't aware of ANY online script for Ace at all. I'd heard there was one for XP, but never converted. Most "write me an online script so I can make a multiplayer game" requests go unfulfilled because of it.
If you've got one, well and good. It's a starting point.
Working on a TCP Socket for Ruby based games is a pain, especially you'll need to dig around learning Network programming on that one. However there are workarounds, that is if we are talking about RGSS2, haha. Sometimes developing a game like that with the online system isn't really easy.
