MMO with TGB

by Raquel Ventero · in Technical Issues · 01/19/2009 (1:14 am) · 5 replies

Hello and thanks for reading,
I have read every post about making an 2D MMO with TGB, but I didn't find the answer I am looking for.

My question is: I would like to make a 2D MMO. I know C++ but I am not good with creating networks.
I have two posibilities:
-Buying the TGB and include in it an MMO net middleware.
-Buying the TGEA and trying to do a 2D MMO game with it.

What do you think? Is it possible to use the TGEA for making 2D games?
Or what middleware should you use to create a 2D MMO with TGB?

Thanks a lot,
Raquel

    TGB has networking, but even with TGE/A's networking, you'll have to do some source code changing to get it optimized for an MMO (especially since they're all different in their requirements and network impact).

    Thank you very much.
    I am not finding the TGB networking in the tutorials pages or even in the documentation. Is there any place where I can find it?

    Thanks,
    Raquel

    I guess TGB has a network implementation inside (something called Torque Network "Lite"). My goal is to create a good network in it, when I can purchase it from the shop.

    If you check out Torque developer network, it has a bit of info on the networking of TGB. You might want to implement your own networking protocol using something like Project Darkstar on the server side.

    Also, if you check out this MMO thread you can get more info. It's geared towards any MMO, though leans 3D- but the point is that there are a lot of links to middleware and products. And yes, Mason brought up a very good point with Darkstar as a viable option.

    You'll want to review many of them and go with what gets you the closest to your goals before you start customizing for the least amount of money.
