I honestly wasn't having much luck with MySQL last time I used it, but this looks pretty awesome so I'll give it another try.
I must say, the screen shots look very promising!

 

[Necro_100000]

Hay vlad what Apache sever did you use? Do you have a direct link to where you got it? That would be handy cause the one I got seems to have nothing to do with the directions.

 

[vlad]

I use APPSERV 2.5.10
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/apps ... e?download

PS when u install, unmark options 2 and 4 (refers to mysql and we dont use it)

 

[mephisto]

Very Nice, but I prefer the Xp's Netplays, only by the RmEditor.... Anyways great work.

 

[catkitten]

This seems awesome, when my other computer gets back from repairs I'll definitely try this! Is there any chance of this coming out for rpg maker xp?

 

[efeerk]

Hey can you explain how to make a new battle area?

Or can you explain how to change monsters of battle areas?

Im a amateur Sorry...

 

[catkitten]

Okay, I just tried version 1.0.6 and it wont let me make a character.
the older version does tho.

Edit: Never mind I got version 1.0.7. and it turns out I was using the wrong database file. Everything works great now!

 

[Biohazard35]

Hey can you explain how to make a new battle area?

Or can you explain how to change monsters of battle areas?

Im a amateur Sorry...

You just right click on the name of the map/area that you want to add/edit monsters at and go to Map Properties. Then you just add or remove monsters in the encounters box.

How to I use the ABS? I can't figure out what buttons to press.

To use the abs it's A to attack and S for shield, you have to make sure you have your weapon equipped. To equip your weapons and armor in the older versions press I and drag the weapons and armor to it's right spot. In the newer version click on the little icon at the bottom, and then drag the weapons and armor to it's right spot.

I'd show more interest in this if there were an existing test server(one that i could actually play with other people with). It looks good, but ti's impossible to test properly without a server set up for that purpose.

I was a skeptic too. It's honestly the best rm.. server I ever used, there is no lag, server stays online with out crashing for hours(3 hours and counting). I have a server running right now. locally or I'd let you test mine.

ps. While playing with version 1.0.7 i found a shop bug, where some items don't give the correct amount of money back when you sell them.

this seemed to be the where this error was coming from

 $game_party.lose_item(item, $amount_window.value)

        p = (Config::Shop_Sell_Divide > 0 ? (item.price/Config::Shop_Sell_Divide) : item.price)

        $game_party.gain_gold($amount_window.value*p)

replace Window Shop with this to fix this glitch:

i'd be willing to host a test server,

if anyone else is interested.

 

[Biohazard35]

Nevermind. Fixed it.

 

[Nerdness]

any chance of the server's source being released?

 

[Ulqiorra]

well, thank you Nerdness. Hopefully someone else will speak up about this. Because I've seen pretty much every RM* Net system ever, and none of them had actual running test servers included.

 

[vlad]

1.0.9 released

 

[Biohazard35]

How do I make a patch list? What format do I need to make my patchlist.txt in? Something like for the Triad Updater?
This is how it looks in Triad:

[patchs]
http://www.valortech.co.cc/updater/Patch1.tpp = 1

Also, when I try to start the client it starts playing the title bgm and changes my curser, but then it just freezes at a black screen.

Edit: Come on! Can't anyone even think of a possible way for this to be fixed? Please? I need some help with the client freeze.

 

[Biohazard35]

First of all, I still need help with the game client freezing. And I am wondering how to change how the monsters look. It gets kind of boring if every monster looks like a ghost. How do I do that?

 

[Sir]

Ok, i've got this but when i create new characters and try to log in it gives me an error saying "map000 not found" yet if i log in with pre-made test characters that it starts with, it plays fine, anyone wanna give me a hand?
