Re: Online Multiplayer

It would really help if people actually did some research before asking random questions.

Re: Online Multiplayer

There's actually several multiplayer project groups at the forum currently, working on online multiplayers. Maybe join one of them to help you get a general idea how to make one.

Re: Online Multiplayer

Join ours. I don't have the topic link right this moment, so the title is "Scratch Worlds MMORPG" although the RP may have been dropped.

Re: Online Multiplayer

Actually taking another look, there are only 2 groups, and one isn't really making one game but figuring out how to make Mesh work. I think you would be better suited to that group if you're only joining one, but we would like it if you joined our group as well. No problem being in two groups at once (we won't ask more than what we think you can handle)

People don't understand that mesh only works with people inside your network!

Re: Online Multiplayer

There have been developments in Mesh, shadow_7283, and now you can using another program.

Re: Online Multiplayer

Hamachi. I know. But it isn't very versatile. We really need support for connecting with an online server. Using things like php, it could be revolutionary (for Scratch, at least).

Re: Online Multiplayer

There are other programs than Hamachi I think.

Re: Online Multiplayer

I'm not exactly sure about what it was called, but I think it was determined that Hamachi was the best of them. We have teams currently searching for a new way to do it.

Re: Online Multiplayer

I still think Scratch needs php support. Mesh is cool for basic online connectivity, but if you want something to do something BIG (like an MMORPG) you need something like php.
