Plan for John Vanderbeck
by John Vanderbeck · 03/28/2004 (6:10 pm) · 3 comments
Mayhem 2090's design calls for a Battlefield Communications system that is basically a lobby type chat system for players, with some bells and whistles.
Originally we had looked at TGELobby and noticed that it used IRC. After looking at the feasability os using a similiar approach it was decided that IRC just wouldn't work.
So we decided to roll our own chat protocol. As an excercise today, mainly to see how feasible this was, I rolled up my sleeves and got my hands dirty by writing a complete, although basic, chat server and client using TorqueScript.

John, after you help me in that thread I posted, I got to looking at your stuff and found this. I gotta say dude, this rocks. And it taught me some things about Torque that I hadn't realized. Great job dude. I rate it a 5.
