Multiplayer Assembly Package - Announcement
by Robert Fritzen · 01/12/2013 (9:50 am) · 11 comments
A week ago, I asked if there was any interest for a pack. A few posts followed and I think that this idea would be more than beneficial to serve the community as a good pack, and so my first pack, the Multiplayer Assembly Package (MAP for short), has been created!
This package would provide people with my completely upgraded cryptography package resource, noted the XXZ-568 with all of the recently discovered fixes to the problems in the TCPObject, mainly introducing the cURL library into Torque3D to handle all of the TCP transfers needed by my resource. I am also going to include a basic storage container class which will give you control over secure data saving by means of AES-256-CBC file encryption, something I had kept to myself before.
This pack will also include a wide variety of documentation that I will be writing that will include tutorials on how to setup rank and progression systems that implement this container system as well as how to setup different fields (data types) to work with this system. The documentation will also provide a COMPLETE tutorial on how to setup this system both in your engine and on any general web hosting provider. All you need is PHP, MySQL, and something like CPanel (which most hosting providers use).
With this package, you will be able to:
* Create a fully functioning authentication package (username/password login) secured by the methods of my cryptography resource.
* Create a rank/progression system that is secured by encryption.
* Store game data on the client and secure it using AES File Encryption.
* Use the cURL library inside torque to handle advanced network operations and fix any issues that your TCPObjects may cause you.
And of course, when you purchase my pack (by supporting me to buy stuff I will use for my future projects) I will grant you access to a special area on my forums to where I will be able to answer any questions about the pack, and help you use the pack to suit your needs!
This pack will cost $20, and I have absolutely no idea when it will be done! More details and blogs to come about it later! :D

@Bryce: It shouldn't take me too long, seeing as I have all of the code work done, I just need to write some good documentation and tutorials, put it on my site for sale and it should be all set, but time will tell ;)
I'm glad there is support for this, you can be assured I will put my absolute best work into this pack to ensure you're satisfied with it.

@D Fasel: I'll see what I can do, I'm assuming you're wanting to test the functionality of the rank/progression system?@Bryce: It shouldn't take me too long, seeing as I have all of the code work done, I just need to write some good documentation and tutorials, put it on my site for sale and it should be all set, but time will tell ;)

I wrote an unsecured version ages ago and have been needing a secured one for ages.
You got my $20 when you get it out there :-)

This will save me from writing one myself, been putting off writing this for.... Well a long time.I wrote an unsecured version ages ago and have been needing a secured one for ages.

Lots of great tutorials I'm putting into this pack, ranging from setting up a variety of rank systems down to handling more common things like server messages in a very secure fashion. I'm really enjoying working on this, and I'm sure you'll all be happy with this work.

Just a quick update, this is going really well. I should have the pack done this coming Monday, and if not then, probably next weekend.Lots of great tutorials I'm putting into this pack, ranging from setting up a variety of rank systems down to handling more common things like server messages in a very secure fashion.

This looks pretty good. I might buy this pack once I am farther along in my game.
