If the game is 110% the same as PW such as setting it up and file extensions etc etc etc then it can be "merged" with the PW section.
If not.... it would have to have it's own section.
Same Engine, Check
Same Server Structure, Check
Same kind of map structure, Check
Same npcgen, Check
Damn near identical server daemons, Check
Incredibly similar client pck structure, Check
Uses exact same authd, Check
Uses same MySQL db to backup that authd, Check
Identical glinkd, Check
Very similar elements.data, Check
Damn near identical server setup, Check and Check.
It's a Wanmei game that is insanely, insanely similar. When the JD section was open there was very little activity in it and people that wanted actual help with JD came to the PW section anyway...
All Wanmei games should be under the same section as Wanmei uses practically the same everything (they wrote the game client engine and servers are all the same...). Having all the people merged into one section is by far the best idea as it allows everyone to share knowledge on the minor differences and adopt them to any other Wanmei game.
As horrendously organized as the clients are, they are all incredibly flexible in what they can do... Wanmei did great at having a very extensible client and server that only takes minor tweaks to get working for any other game they have.
Section rename to PWI/PWE
Sub-sections would be Forsaken World, Perfect World, Rusty Hearts, RaiderZ
In those sub-sections you would have your regular structured release, tutorials, development etc.
Sounds good IMO.
Good, good. I like your idea Dell. (For once!)
Just take out Rusty Hearts and RaiderZ.
I did say Wanmei games... Rusty Hearts and RaiderZ are PWE run only. Those are incredibly dissimilar to Wanmei's games.
Even though PWE is a Wanmei company...
The diff is opinion/preference. Same as Linux Flavors.
Actually no... (if you are talking to me anyway) Rusty Hearts and RaiderZ were not written by Wanmei and PWE took them up on their own...
All the games are hosted by PWI (Perfect World International) or PWE which is what I'm basing it on. You could make it Wanmei or whatever but that only incorporate FW and PW.
No that would be PW, FW, JD, ESO, BOI, and WOI. Wanmei is the parent company to PWE. PWE can make some of their own decisions and decided to take up STO, Blacklight, Champions Online, Neverwinter, Rusty Hearts and Torchlight. The latter games have nothing related with the former..
I hope this clears things up.
That section gonna need 10 mods only to get rid of help posts aimed towards FW that will end up in PW, maybe the same answer but will still get messy, you know how hard it is for people to see the difference between a P and a F ?
Yes please merge the Jade Dynasty and PW Section, JD is so lacking because people there dont know how to do shit. If they saw PW section they might get stuff done LOL.
whatshesaid.
Has ANYONE gotten pass the "segmentation fault" errors with gdeliveryd?
Ok.. I've been playing with these server files... haven't been able to locate the database as of yet but the configurations are almost 100% identical to the PWServer. Either a) I'm blind and just cant locate the database SQL file or b) it's not included.
When/If I can get everything running I will post a short guide with all the steps I took to get everything running and linked together.
