Great !
But I think this example should contain a collision checking example (bullet hitting the other player and make it loose health) , so it shows that collisions must be server sided. And this will make the tutorial more unique. Theoretical the user should know how to make this example alone if it understand the first 4 examples.

[True Valhalla]

I might add that to this example as an update when I have some more free time

Thanks for the comment!

Good job

[creepers9164]

Looking at all these examples, I am just wowed. It is amazing to see people take the effort to teach newbs (like me) to use functions like 39dll with such simplicity. 1000/10. Awesome job!

Thanks, glad to be of help!

Getting this error when running

ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_controller:

In script scr_server_init:
Illegal argument count calling script "iniStart".
Script requires 1 arguments, 0 have been supplied.


I am using GM 8.1, TUVAZ off. Please fix, as this looks interesting. Thanks!

[Sir]

I edited this a LOT, but now i am getting this error

Connection to server failed

Any help?

This is a setting you have ON in your version of GameMaker where it forces you to supply all the arguments to a function. Turn it off and this will work fine.

How can I know what you changed? There is no way for me to help with such a vague post...

I just bought Game Maker HTML and am using Vista sp2. It doesn't work for me.

I register an account with it, but it doesn't actually create one. The account folder is empty. I try to log in using the name and password I registered, and it doesn't find it.

Any ideas?

I run it in Windows mode, not HTML mode. Has anyone else with Game Maker HTML tried to run this yet?

[True Valhalla]

I have not tried my examples in GM HTML5 and I would not recommend it?

[Wolf Dreamer]

Yeah, it does have a lot of problems right now. When I Google the official wiki for "Important note: this variable is broken in HTML5, and will always return 0." I get 94 results. Plus other functions may a different message than that indicating they are broken, so no telling how many things are not working total.

It would be nice to have some good working examples in using it.

Do you plan on using GameMaker:Studio when it comes out?

This is probably because this tutorial makes use of a DLL. GM:H can't use DLL's. Sorry.

Yes, definitely, though why do you ask?

Just hoping for some updated examples to get started with. http://gmc.yoyogames...ic=534478&st=20

Game Maker Studio will be the same as Game Maker HTML5 only faster and perhaps with extra stuff.

[True Valhalla]

There is a very big difference in an online engine for Windows compared to one for HTML5. To make an online game in HTML5 is extremely different. While I may look into it in the future, for a real time MMORPG like I am making (Myriad Online) I will always prefer Windows to HTML5. So, I do not plan to make an online engine for HTML5 currently or in the foreseeable future.

You should also know that since Windows and HTML5 versions are so different, you are either developing for one of the other, not both.

Aww man! I have the HTML5 version of Gamemaker but not Gamemaker 8.1. Is there a way to make it work with the lite version?

[True Valhalla]

Is there a way to make it work with the lite version?

Definitely not, unfortunately. Without Pro, you can't use 39dll which leaves you with the built-in Mplay functionality, which you need GM Standard for anyway

Hi.

This was quite a interesting turtorial and I would like to use it for a game I want to make.
But when I write the codes and do everything as your turtorial states it only gives me message "connection to server failed"

I also tried download the complete package from your website and when trying to run it I get the same message as above.

I wonder if this is a error on my side and the code is working fine?
If it is working fine I would probably work on it.

I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work properly but now im out of ideas.
-----------

Other than that.
Can this client/server setup be used for making a mmo game were the player doesnt control a object such as a character but rather starts out with a city in a huge world, were as he has to develop this city and gain resources so that he eventually can make a city nr 2 and so on, were he can create soldiers etc to fight for him versus other players, for example if he was to attack a other city to plunder that city for example.
Somthing in the same category as ikariam.com but still with my own ideas and nothing like a copy to put it that way, but the same kind of game, but as a executable game in windows?
Hope this wasn't to hard to understand
