I'm going to pluck out the questions from .. the rest of that. No, they don't do that. All of the things that you understand as "the game" - the things you list - are included with the client. If the client was programmed differently, you could play everything without connecting to a server. You...

In the event that anybody finds this thread in the future, there's a setup guide at You must be registered for see element.. Not everything is there yet and there's a lot of work left in making things easier and better, but it's much, much better than running blind into it.

I'm not sure how to reply to a visitor message and it doesn't seem like you have them enabled, so I'll have to respond here. I realize that you may be slightly stupid, but do you understand what the word baseless means? You must be registered for see element. You must be registered for see...

You're not editing it as Scala. You're writing Java. If that was an important freedom, why didn't you just do that at the outset? You must be registered for see element. You could at least change the license if you're going to copy-paste the entire thing and call it your own. Previous...

I've been living life, mostly. Everything is going well. I appear to be a bit older than most of the people around here. I still do research on things that nobody else would touch and work on Vana. It's just slow.

He hasn't written a server source. Also, I take exception to "yours has taken 5." It existing for 6 years doesn't mean anything about how much it's actively been worked on. You must be registered for see element. This might be to-may-to vs to-mah-to, but I wouldn't really call this 6 years of...

Ah. Okay. Out of curiosity, about how much data transfer are you doing to see that difference, so people can get a sense of what performance they can expect? HeidiSQL is mad ugly, but it has some really awesome features if you can sort through the mess and find them. I found the thing that let...

Is your server SQL-bound? It's possible that if you're not moving a lot of data, you won't notice a huge difference. It's also possible that the database is poorly designed, for example, not having a primary key or proper indexes. I would say that unless it negatively impacts performance, it's...

Yeah, yeah, a suggestion thread. I know what you're thinking. Except I'm not telling you to switch technologies to the newest FizzBuzz or anything like that. You must be registered for see element. You must be registered for see element. This has been on my radar for a while and up until...

If it was 100% true, it would be self-evident. You shouldn't have to state that it's 100% true. It sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself and not anybody else. Your ad hominems aren't going to goad me into an emotional battle. Don't shoot the messenger for your lack of...

What kind of professional? I have a profession too, but it doesn't make me a particularly compelling commenter on other professions. And what, exactly, makes this 100% true? You saying it does? Also, it's interesting that you characterize this as "the" problem, as though there's only one. It's...

I know the use cases. I'm not a fetus. I didn't call into question the usefulness. You claim to disagree with me, but your argument is in support of what I'm saying. I said whether it's a solution or not is very situational and then you proceeded to throw out situations. Delightfully, your...

I can't speak to the implementation question. However, I can say that if you have memory problems, this is most likely not a solution to the problem. This is a mitigation of the problem. It may be effective enough based on some usage patterns and map counts to be a solution, but that's...

Bump. I noticed this thread a while back and I wanted to see if anybody still had the content that was linked to (since the links are long since dead and some of this content is/would be still useful). I tried to PM the OP and it's been 2 months with no response, so I can only assume based on...

On a semi-related note: LaiLai was interested in the way I did it a long time ago. I have no idea if he ended up doing the same thing or not. Anyway, you shouldn't need timers to make it accurate. The client pretty much takes care of everything as long as you have good packets. Odin's packets...
