Hi folks my first post here. I would like to hear how bad or good you think this game is :smiley:

I wanted to create a massive multiplayer game capable of thousands of players playing at the same time this is the result so far.
Theres still a few things that need doing to it like trying to make it language neutral.
I had to digitally sign the jar file as the applet has to read from a url to get the core server address.
The graphics are naff and i removed the music but it should play ok.
Create a new account and login( easy peasy lemon squeezy).

Its totally Free wont cost you anything just a few moments of your time ;D

could you try with ie i know its naff im going to download opera and see what the problem is thanks.

UPDATE

it works with opera you have to accept the warning dialog box and trust me a quick way of trusting me is do a whois on the website and it will show that the site is registered to me and tells you where i live :O) if thats not trust i dont know what is…lol

:slight_smile:
I just played against you.
Maybe I lost because I’m not a wife beater (especially not yours)
Nice start but it took ages to load. Ok, thats because of your bedroom server.
My opponent flickered a lot. And you should put the control scheme under the applet, I forgot which keys to use.
Nice start!

#5

the characters flicker because theres no moving animation i took it out i will put it back in when i can get good animation from 5 frames or less.
Trust me im no wife beater i love my wife very much even when shes complaining to me :O).
Once again thank you soo much i will put some tool tips on the screens to make it easier to know what to press and see what else i can improve.
Thanks

#6

how do I register? That donkey sucks.

#7

hi i will add the user and pass you just tried
give me a few mins to add it to database.
When i get round to it i will add create new user to the login screen theres still a few things to be done its just getting the time to research and implement new things.

Look at the top post.

Had a battle with markmistry, it’s a good start, so sure play again when you update it.

The controls and that chat was the issue for me, but already explained that to him.

#9

when I press a button rather than hold it the animation doesn’t go all the way through. It seems kinda cool. Though the controls are wired. I’d say arrows for movement and buttons like ZXC should be used for attacks. ASDZXC is great for fighting games.

#10

i added you to the database with the username and password you tried earlier
my name has to be selected in the box on the left and i have to select your name
then we both have to click the fight button once to start the fight before it times out

#11

Thanks for the feedback i really appreciate it :O)
looks like i have a few things to keep me busy for a few weeks i have turned off my servers now so you wont be able to visit site or play the game. rest assured when i have tweaked the design a bit and added detailed instructions for use maybe added some walking graphics i will make a new post or better i will update this thread.

thankyou all thankyou thankyou thankyou

#12

I can’t login to save my life… user1/12345 doesnt work (the textfields are cleared, nothing else happens)

#13

Sorry about that you cant login im currently working on adding the facility to create your own username and password

Update…

you should now be able to create your own username and password

input username
input password(make sure you get it right)
input your country

click to create a new account

Update…

I have changed the login process so that duplicate logins cant occur.i have blanked the database and am now ready to accept new users to the database…i will be getting rid of the arcade style fighting as theres no way i can compete with the likes of soul calibur and i am going to convert the game to a more passive strategy style fighter manager type game where you win a fight depending on how you set your fighter properties and training.
Theres an annoying issue of lag when you fight someone the otherside of the planet its only a second or so but its enough to put me off from pursuing this style of gameplay so the servers are up and running and ready to see if they can handle many ppl connecting and disconnecting at the same time…haha moment of truth or back to the drawing board.

#14

Update…
I have remove private message feature as i cant get it to work…dont need it anyway was just an exercise for me but now it has stopped working it has to go…
I now solved the moveable chat box that cant be closed was so easy i cant belive i was havin problems

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE );

You really need a faster server, or a smaller download.

It’s been like 10 minutes, and I’m still downloading at 30KB/s.

I’m at the ‘red screen’.

#16

damn!!

#17

screenshot?

#18

not worth getting excited over trust me ;D i hate sql i hate being a newb i swear to god i feel like crying with disbelief how can something work 1 min then not work the next thats impossible its impossible.ive had …COMPLETE REWRITE

#19

know the feeling ;), my caht will work, then BAM! stops working!

#20

Well i have managed to iron out the login bugs i think, ive tested and tested and so far so good seems like i just needed to add another condition to stop false logins.i have also added error checking when creating a username password and country no more than 20 chars and you cant use the ‘/’ char as i use it as a delimiter.
I have added some text on the screen so that ppl know what to click on.so hopefully its not as confusing.
Im sorry about the time it takes to download i am going to decrease my sprite sizes eventually so it will load faster and not cause a memory problem.
I am trying to iron out bugs as i find them .
so once again i thank anyone who has logged on or tried to log on ,played or tried to play as this has been invaluable in my games development. I have made some adjustment to the actual fighting but cant test it as i need someone to fight against my core server and game servers will be up for a while incase you wanna get your asses whooped :O)
