JMMO (Free 2D MMORPG Maker, Name may change later)

Post by Nighthawk_0973 »

JMMO is my MMORPG engine that I'm coding in Java. I don't know the entire Java APIs by heart, and I am a little stuck on how I could get this working. But now I'll be working with the Eclipse source code.

Now before we get into detail let me tell you a few things that you guys will probably find interesting:
I might be using the Eclipse source code, but here's pretty much the only thing I know about VB:

Code: Select all

Sub main()

End Sub()
I don't even remember how to do hello world... in fact, I know more VB script than VB. (SadScript to be specific)
Instead I'll be converting the VB code of Eclipse to Java code with a demo program I've got. :D

If you've ever used MMORPG engines you'll notice they're a lot the same. So what's going to be so special about JMMO? Let's start with the combat system:
Instead of jamming Ctrl, you ram into enemies and the screen will switch to a turn based battle screen. Stats will be used like this:
HP: Health Points
SP/MP: Used for skills in battles that can be activated in place of a regular attack (different depending on class)
STR: Changed the damage you deal
DEF: Changes how well you block attacks
SPD: Changes the turn order. The higher your speed the quicker your turn comes round.

Anyways that's the plan. Plus it's going to be open source with plenty of comments so people will understand the code!

Edit: Thinking of making this in C++. Still have a LOT of C++ to learn however! But than again same with java....

C++ is more useful to you. Concentrate on that. It's easy to learn but hard to master. You can start with C# and XNA. There are tons of tutorials on the language and XNA libraries to work with. It's a legitimate programming language to learn.

I don't think I'll be able to download C# however. This computers on it's last leg... sorta. :D

I have C++ though and I know someone who can teach me a whole lot more once I finish my tutorial series :D

(go smilies!)

such a strange coincidence, I had completely forogt about this post, and than I found out about C#, well finally got into it. Taught my self a whole TON of code just by messing around using what a learnt from Java. I don't know enough to start my own engine yet but I will be owrking with somebody else with their engine if they accept, they where looking for somebody to help them with their C# engine and I have PMed them on the forum that it was in today. I'll give you guys updates and a site when I can.

not that much anymore. I still have my C++ editor installed, but I don't know enough to make anything useful. Why what do you need.

I am learning C# on the other hand if you need help making applications I am very very talented at C#.

So again, what do you need. (PS, I'm starting to check back here regularlarly XD)

tell you what than. I can teach C++ but we obviously need a way to comunicate. I recommend: http://programmingforums.forumotion.com/, (throw me a PM!) http://nighthawk0973.tumblr.com/, (ask me a question on the blog) http://www.thenewboston.com/forum/, (I will begin to check this forum more often for the PM. Plus I check my e-mail often and they'll give me PM notification)

Also, I recommend that if you havn't already taught yourself C#, you better learn it first. C++ will be easier after C#, C# is powerful, C# is simple, I know and understand C#.

Lastly, thinking of making an engine in C#, 3D game engine that is. But this will take a while.

PS: I will be making a minecraft engine though, a tool that allows you to create minecraft mods while the engine auto-generates and complies your .class code, in C#

PPS: I don't use RF either, but that doesn't stop me from using this forum and helping people the best I can.

nah, I don't have a skype and don't plan to get one. I say TheNewBoston forums, it's a forum for this youtube channel that has all these different programming tutorials and other tutorials. http://www.thewnewboston.com/forum/ register and make sure to throw 'Nighthawk0973' a quick PM. :D
