For the past year and a half, I've been considering creating my own game based on the Intersect engine. I see that the project is still evolving, although it likely lacks funding. But getting back to the point.

For the past month, I've been working on laying the foundations of the entire project and gradually gaining experience in creating on this engine, as well as in MMORPG game design in general. Now, I have a very important question for you, the community.

Do you have any valuable advice or tips regarding designing your own game? Perhaps you could recommend some literature? Or maybe you've encountered some difficulties and found outstanding ways to overcome them?

I'd like to mention right away that my project would fit within a budget of around $1,500, so it's more of a small project for entertainment purposes.

Guts,

Example when I want to input "á". The inputer must delete "a" then replace with "á" but current chat box may steal SendMessage or PostMessage of inputer, so it return "aá", for double Unicode like "toán" it's become "toanán". The only way to input Unicode I can use now is copy paste from Notepad. If u can input Unicode, pls suggest for me some inputer working well here pls.

Seems really quiet now.. or has majority of development gone towards open source?

Does anyone know what this means

I wanted to know if it's normal that when compiling the Intersect Engine via Visual Studio 2022 and attempting to transfer the executables to an external folder (for example, in the game folder on the desktop), none of them launch—whether it's the server, the client, or the editor.

While everything launches correctly via Visual Studio 2022 (which is logical), is there something new we need to configure compared to before, when it worked with a simple copy/paste of executables into the folder?

Currently, we can only work on the project through the source code (which is not ideal when multiple people are working on the game and some only need to use the editor, such as mappers).

@Gibier encountered and has the same "issue," so I'm not alone in this.

If you have a solution for this, I'm interested. Maybe I missed a configuration, or perhaps I didn't pay attention to something, but it's strange because it used to be simple to do lol.

I am using Beta 8.0.xxx sources (the latest available on GitHub), and I'm asking because I'm creating a custom version for my project.

Hoping that you can shed some light on this for me ^^

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After trying to find a solution, I'm not sure if it's the right one, but I found that we could publish the project via "publish" in VS2022. However, we end up with quite a few generated .DLL files (for both the server, editor, and client). I'm attaching some screenshots so you can understand:

And when we download the complete Beta 8 (without the sources), there aren't as many DLLs and other files provided in the .zip, so I find that strange lol.

Thanks in advance

Hat worn = 0

Player wears hat..

Hat worn = 1

Player removes hat..

Hat worn = 0

I am playing around with events and I figured out how to add to a variable when they wear it but I can't determine a good way to check if they removed it without that becoming to complex.

I am looking for what approach you would use mostly when using events for this issue.

At the moment I have an event that runs on the item when it is used which adds to the variable and then equips the hat from that event.

I was trying to make an event that checked when equipment changes but it is wonky as it will change the variable on any equipment change if it detects they wore something besides the hat.

Thank you for any guidance on this issue.

-Fix moving interface (lock interface...)

it should not be very hard to do for someone who know how to do that but I can't figure out how to do that..

You can contact me in private if you want to talk about it with me...

Thank for reading my ad and hope someone will be able to help me :3

Dummy Doh

I've do some modifications but, even if i modify EventCommand.Cs, CommandPinter and add String in string.Cs, my new command don't appear in the editor in the command list option (where you can chose to teleport player, give hp etc..)

I'm in the final stage of developing my game, but I'm encountering an annoying issue: when using the 'warp' attribute to navigate between maps, all active animations on the character are lost for other players, and only the player who triggered them can see them.

Below, I will share a video showcasing the mentioned error.

Project version used for testing: 0.7.2-beta.20 (with no modifications).

I searched through the forum and Git PRs for any topic related to the issue, but couldn't find any. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve the problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

For context, I tried digging through some old forum posts to see if I could find any existing code I could use to test out and learn from, which I eventually did (but it's not working for some reason):

In the post below, I saw that someone had written some PHP code with two functions. It kind of made sense to me because they had a function that gets the access token, as well as another function to send global messages to the game--which then takes the token when calling it. 

Again, I don't really know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's just me being a dummy? The messages aren't being sent to my game, nor am I seeing anything on my webpage through my webserver. I'm also hosting my game on a VPS.

Here's some additional info:

• I'm using the files from Github for my server and client (not sure if I'm supposed to do that). The only reason why I did that is because I wanted to change my game's icon.
• I tried getting the access token from the terminal window, and it worked just fine. Why am I having trouble now?
• This is probably useless info, but I am getting this code when using Postman:
   

Hopefully, the smart people here can give me a hand .

To create a guild you must have a player variable in string mode for the event "create guild" call the variable and create the guild with the correct name.

I noticed that when inviting someone to the guild, the variable "guild name" of the invited player, does not change to the guild name, so the player is in the guild but the guild name variable is not set.

There's how create a "Conditional Branch" with guild name, or when someone accept the guild invite the "guild name" variable turns to the name of the guild that he accepted?

Does someone know why it could be happening? Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, I would greatly appreciate any advice or solutions you may have to offer.

Thank you for your help.
