The game just doesn't stand up on its own, anymore. Nostalgia is just about the only thing it has going for it. The game has always been unbalanced with no real build opportunities per character, the 'story' quests feel like randomly generated side quests with zero impact or purpose beyond...

Flash? Shame it's not supported in modern versions of major browsers any more, at least more secure ones. Better if it was webGL and/or canvas but a lot of work there, too.

Thanks for confirming! Yeah, I'll do that now. Interesting that it's not compatible with newer versions, wonder how they're connecting to the DB. I'd have assumed they'd go something agnostic so it would work regardless of DB version and type. Oh well, I'll just downgrade :D

Strange. Windows 11 here. Only other thing different is I use AMPPS with phpmyadmin for managing the MySql DB, but it's still the same 3306 port. It's only the gameserver not going past "Starting DB"... I guess I'll keep looking.

Niice!

It's definitely the correct IP. 192.168.20.9 is the ipv4 for my wi-fi connection. It's used in the config files where required in the tutorial video. The connectserver, loginserver, and serverlink all start up after 'Starting DB'. The gameserver just sits stuck there at Starting DB. It's...

Do I still need to open ports if I'm running only locally off my PC? And do I still need to use loopback adapter like older versions? I'm just wanting to run around like old times and host it off a PC and play on the same machine. I've followed the video and used my local wi-fi 192.168...

You replied to someone asking for an editor for movereq.bmd and others for season 19 :) You gave them a link, I was just trying to ask (since I forget) what movereq.bmd was even for. I was trying to remember and had the sudden thought it was maybe the level gates for maps/teleport and wanted to...

Been a while since I played. Why would we need a tool to edit the movereq.bmd again? Was that the file that controlled the levels required to get into each map?

Here's an oldie - who's played Zork? I love my old-school text-based games. First game I created in high school was a good old text adventure.

Yeah, I still love playing Doom 1 and Doom 2 on Zdoom. I was never a massive Half-Life fan, but I don't mind it.

You're awesome. Just joined the Discord. I'll grab the code and take a look. Love the mentality behind the project, sounds like what I like to do, except you're more competent at coding than I am and can actually get somewhere with it, haha!

Is that going to be a paid thing or a community version with a paid side option where you've added more features? Like a lot of people, I understand paying for good work, but also that it's risky because of... well, the image from the past that the community gets, you know, where people infect...

Man, I'm excited to see that. I know C#, Java, Python and web languages, but no disassembly, hunting offsets, DLL injections, etc, like old server files needed to try and poke things into submission. It'll be awesome to see your server and how much more refined it is. It would be heavenly to...

Nice to see you still coding. Whenever you finish this up, are you planning to code a server from scratch too so no one in the community needs to deal with badly coded code hackjobs and have a nice, clean base to learn from? (Yes, I'm dreaming, shh and let me dream, haha)
