But why VB?
|
I have yet to learn C++, my brother started with vb6 as well then went on to C++ and he assures me that its pretty much the same. To me though it seems like to do anything graphical at all in C++ it takes a hell of a lot more work get get the same results.
I feel confident enough in my VB6 skills to take on a project of this magnitude. Two week in and I have a pretty decent server and all the work above to show for it.
And sure VB can be a pain with the runtimes and some computers have the occasional component or two missing but after awhile you'll get everything you need included with the release.

Yup me too.
I find it harder and harder to want to learn C++ with Vb around. If I need a program all I have to do is whip it out and be done with it. No fiddling, trying to find something that works....I ruined myself.

I think thats an optical illusion because the rains not dynamic across the map yet. Ill see about writing some code to increase the speed of rain based on character direction.
Also I plan on making the rain tilt with the character like in Renegade. (Look straight up and walk around to see what i'm talking about.)
So far the audio is dynamic for the strikes, the sound will play out of Left - Center - Right based on where the "supposed" strike was.
EDIT: Nope your right, the rain physically slows down when the map is shifting. Good eye on that

Doesn't sound like you have used VB6 that much. Its just as fast as anything I've seen done in C++ and Winsock is the same stuff you guys use in C++.

It certainly isn't anywhere as fast as C/C++ code performing the same thing. And that AX socket stuff isn't the same as what you would use in C/C++, either.
|
Then what standard protocol do you guys use then? My brothers version used sockets as well but I'm not sure what was the actual code or component used. As of right now this look like it can handle 1000 clients per win32 server. I doubt I would ever have any more than that anyway.

Run time error 429
ActiveX componanet cant create object
Win Vista Home Premium
Tried run as admin, and XP compat

I'm on Vista Ultimate x64 and I had to manually register the components. I will be making a auto program that will do it when needed but until then if you want to try the engine you would have to do it manually.

My secret shame is that I love Pokemon.
In fact my biggest dream in life it to work for Gamefreaks and shape the world of Pokemon in ways I hold oh so very dear. I have been working with my brother for the last few months on PokemonCA (http://www.PokemonCa.net) but recently he dropped out and now I'm making my own engine in VB6 (He can code in C++) and soon the project will be exactly where we left off.
Thank god he listened to me when we started making all the data, I can easily parse everything we did into my new engine and I can build around it.
Well what I ask of you is to run this, hit the "click me" button and tell me if your FPS drops below 30. If it stays above 30 then your good to go, but below I would like to know your base system specs or even better a DXDiag.
(For DxDiag Start ~ Run ~ DXDiag ~ Save all Information button.)
And major note: This is a WIP and the collisions/sounds/water are all being worked on.

And please post is anything errors and what OS you have

My secret I dont tell my friends...I LOVE POKEMON TOO, not the new cartoon, that show sucks sooo bad, every season I see if the enw series is good enough like the original, none so far.

I HATE 4Kids so much right now, they got those new voice actors and it just ruined the whole show. All the original voice actors wanted was a standard raise....but NOOO they just hired new voice actors to ruin the entire series.
me = sad
The new episodes aren't even watchable now. (Diamond and Pearl should be coming to America soon, if it isn't already)
