[MGProjects]

why you no use Unity 3D? i was working a same system Silkroad in a mmorpg but differente caracters and mobs town etc..

Making games public with Unity 3D engine might have consequences what copyright, trademark and distribution gets along.
Every "ready to use"-engine has its conditions if using and going to make it public (meaning by that, if you are sharing that project with your friends, selling it on the public domain, advertising with it on YouTube, etc.), it is not really advised using them, as long you are going straight for private projects.

Which DX tutorials are you using? Seems like I would like to do something mine too ^^

Great to see a project like this.

i suggest you better start from character system, becouse you can make map any time.
Here some suggestions:
- character creation
- character basic save/load
- character basic animations with working movement.
- character basic stats - hp/mp

Just OpenGL and Unreal Engine websites. YouTube is basically a learning platform either. Just google for it and hope being luckyfinding any up to date tutorials

Well, character creation and saving/loading shouldn't be that hard, because most of them could be easily scripted in arrays (selecting from a preset, alike shops with items will be coded).
Stats for characters are the easiest one. Declare some integers on any length, define them with different specific names, give them a value, set them all in a class, while creating your male and female characters, give them the class (as Joymax did with any of those characters ingame). There are no special characters with more less STR INT walk speed etc. not hard-coded, tho. But we could easily modify the addnewchar procedure, while using the char ID (uhm, going to take a random one below 19xx, since those are chinese chars) 1896, lets say that's monkey like Chinese male char, if selecting that character, update _char table, give that little Bastard more STR to start with and increase his inventory size too. For the walk speed, there is no declaration, so a permanent buff (infinite duration, uncancleable) should work as a bypass.
Map additions are quite harder and more time consuming, since you have to calculate the portions of each segment, place them, make a walkable ground/surface level, adding navigationsmeshes so players won't stuck or fall through the ground, adding obstacles... Coloring those areas (still asking myself why Joymax messed up Jangan so much with those randomly sand texture placements around tiger mountain... Happened right after EU release).
Either way, it's quite a lot of work.

Does'nt he use game engine like unity?
So map collision and navmesh creates byself?

I would like to better see, progress in characters(simple walking, equip system, stats, basic combat) and runing around on cube. than
having map that you can see in silkroad anytime.

Well for character creation it aint that hard really , especially if im using the same characters as currently in sro with just some higher texture just a tad bit. Its just a matter of allowing the client send data to the server , database and from there on reading base on those data. No huge character creation system will be made either since this game isnt really even mine.

The map on the other hand im trying to stay away from it being 100% current jangan. I wanna give it a unique living environment while still maintaining that jangan feeling. Dont get me wrong i do work on character /stats/equipments time to time , but i give the map a lot more time since i feel is the hardest for me and i want a smooth gameplay/fps.
