Development Deliberation / Creating our own MMO
« on: August 12, 2009, 01:15:28 am »
I have been working on the design for a MMO called Rise of Heroes for about a couple years now. The reason I am not farther along is because I have been trying different engines. The Planeshift server and client seems like a really good solution. You guys are doing a great job on it! I have a few questions about using the server and client.

Can we use the database structure that is provided in SVN or do we have to edit the server code and use our own database structure?

If we can use the database structure then how do we change the currency to fit our own game? It looks like the currency is built right into the database structure.

What are the future plans for creating tools? I have the webconsole from SVN but there seems to be a bunch of errors on it so I was thinking about creating an application for adding quests and doing all the things that the webconsole does. However if there is something in the works for that then I won't waste my time on it and work on something else.

Development Deliberation / Re: Trying to start the server

Ok I got everything working. I logged on and was playing around. I went to go to another region and for some reason it failed to load the region. Here is the log message:

Tue Aug 11 12:35:01 2009, <..\..\src\common\engine\psworld.cpp:169 psWorld::ExecuteFlaggedRegions SEVERE>
Tue Aug 11 12:35:01 2009, Loading region npcroom2 failed!
Tue Aug 11 12:35:01 2009, <..\..\src\client\psengine.cpp:1890 psEngine::FatalError SEVERE>
Tue Aug 11 12:35:01 2009, Loading region failed!

I loaded all the regions on the server according to the guide:

PS Server: loadmap npcroom1
PS Server: loadmap npcroom2
PS Server: loadmap npcroom_corr
PS Server: loadmap podium
PS Server: spawn
PS Server: ready

It had been working when I first started fooling around with it but then after a couple times of going back and forth it stopped and now won't even work after a server restart.

I am using Visual C++ 9. I followed the guide http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/planeshift/trunk/docs/compiling.html including the name for folders and locations so no there is no spaces in any of my folder names. The development folder is located at C:\development\planeshift, the CS folder is C:\development\cs, and the CEL is located at C:\development\CEL.

I am using the stable version of both CS and PS.

Ok I compiled everything in release with Static lib. Everything compiled fine accept I got a bunch of errors with the PS Server concerning the minigameboard so I removed the cpp and header for minigameboard and commented out all reference to it in the server. After that the server compiled just fine. I then got the art assets from SVN. The client started complaining about not being able to load the effects so I downloaded the normal PS client and moved all the art assets to the development Planeshift folder. Now the compiled client works fine. Before I started compiling anything I set the path to the crystal space folder and CEL.

I have also compiled everything in debug with DLLs. The errors are still there.  The errors are:

could not load plugin 'crystalspace.documentsystem.tinyxml'
could not load plugin 'crystalspace.syntax.load.service.text'
could not load plugin with class 'crystalspace.syntax.load.service.text'

failed to initialize plugin 'crystalspace.level.loader'

failed to initialize plugin 'crystalspace.graphics3d.shadercompiler.xmlshader'

Development Deliberation / Got the server working now - new problem
« on: August 11, 2009, 12:31:32 am »
I am new. I finally managed to get everything compiled. I ended up having to remove all mention of psminigameboard because that kept giving all kinds of errors. But other then that I got everything compiled. I am now trying to start the server. When I start it up it says my config files are located in a directory that didn't even exist and I also get a bunch of errors about not being able to load different plugins. Is that because the config file are not located where the server is looking for them and if so how can I change where it is looking?
