Anus MMO

I want to make an open world MMO but i have no clue how to piece things together.


I can easily make a simple multi-user tcp or udp server.
I can easily make use a database through a programming language.
I can do simple shit like update objects, AI, etc.

But how do i piece it all together?

Do i have 1 thread dedicated to updating the world as a whole? 1 thread dedicated to handling every single network connection, parsing input data and sending back output data retrieve through database queries if possible?

If you really want to have your own MMO without having to do much programming, you could just host a Stendhal server:

Or even if you don't like Stendhal and want to create your own MMO from scratch, you could at least look at Stendhal's source code for inspiration.

You could meet over 250 NPCs, many will give you tasks and quests for valuable experience, shiny gold, but mainly a warm fuzzy feeling.

OVER 250 NPCS


You should do what >>21-san said though and look over the source code of existing MMO engines to get an idea of how to go about it.

Java server

absolutely disgusting

What's so bad about a java MMO?
The single client works on all platforms which support Java.
Windows: double click client.jar
Unix: cd to the game dir and java -jar client.jar

it just werks

>>25
The server is in Java as well

fuck man i really missed you

where's the flandre spammer

Gross. It has that cheap Java look to it.

>>28
It's a game developed by like two people in their spare time as a hobby. They have day jobs, so this is just a side project. Also, they're programmers, not artists. So what do you expect?

Let's see you do better.

I think he means ``that Swing default appearance look''.

You can't do shit about that.
