39DLL Tutorial

[LvZ90]

ok i fixed the "send_var" problem... i don't know why, but the "send_var" script doesn't seem to be in the "39DLL.gmres", so it can't be importet.. i just did this manually with gm8.1 lite (copy/paste)

How to apply this with a 3d game? because i have tried all i can do but i just dont know how?

[ninjasquidface]

All I want to know (I know I need to know a lot more than this for it to actually work) is how to make it that movement is client sided, but syncs speed and position with the server. (Seems quite simple compared to the syncing I've read about..) is client sided movement easy to do? That all physics is calculated by the client while sending pos, dir, and speed to server? Any tips would be much appreciated, thank you. (Sorry for the huge comment)

[ninjasquidface]

Urgh! I'm fairly experienced with GML (Just giving you some idea of my situation), but I'm completely new to the multiplayer section of it. It sounds like it would be a waste of time for me to learn the default gmk multiplayer function (I spent about a day learning it to make sure) when I can learn 39dll. I'm currently working on a platform shooter and I'm up to the point where it would be playable in a server. (going to continue on another comment, sorry for long comment)

I don't know why but it says unable to connect(on my game).On your example everything works but the server doesn't count players.Is there the problem in my router settings?Thanks for helping.

@gzadrenalinlcd22

i agree but you don't need to use port fowarding

my pc doesn't :D

[gzadrenalinlcd22]

Couldn't you just use Hamachi to have the players connect to one another? It fakes a LAN connection, if I'm not mistaken, that allows games that act like this to connect more easily. It just tricks it into thinking everyone is on the same network.

I could be wrong, but I use it to play Terraria with my buddies.

[thesivart]

@gzadrenalinlcd22 yes you could do that with gamemaker and most other LAN games but its a lot nicer to not have to have all your users install Hamachi

[gzadrenalinlcd22]

@thesivart Makes sense, just thought I'd share in case only a couple of people wanted to test a game or maybe play a private match, etc.

[WiDEEyeDSmILes]

could this be used to make an rts?

[Kinorian1212]

can they all be combined into one and still work? the client, server and game?

[Kinorian1212]

is there a way i can convert the .gm81 files to .gmk?

[Kinorian1212]

are the client and server .gmk files already there? cuz i cant find em. plz help!

[POCentertainmentweek]

@Kinorian1212 he saved them as game maker 8.1, so if you dont have game maker 8.1 just 8 then you cant use it :/

[hulken353]

I don't have Gamemaker 8.1 Pro :(

[lightnexgames]

i know how this works but how do i make a multiplayer platformer

[MrEntertainmentrules]

so the server can connect and says how many players online, but i get an error saying unknown variable idd or something in the control step event. What do i do?

[mrawoodcock]

So the client is the player/character?

[firezelly]

Where's the Send_Var script? I don't have it.

[kellohousu42]

pm me your msn address 

[MorrisTheHorris]

Is the 39dll version specific? Meaning would it work with Game Maker 8.0?

[MrEntertainmentrules]

@MorrisTheHorris it would work but there might be different coding, but im not sure

[mrawoodcock]

Can someone help me with this stuff? i need an experienced 39DLL person that is willing to help me, please..

[Diabolist10]

Atlast my friend ! I was freaking out =P thought it will never be out + its my bday -3

[avalonkiller]

FINALLY thanks for this tutorial, though hopefully you will make more tutorials on this dll! We are all looking for someone to create tutorial for chat. =]

[thenprogroup]

[GameRespect]

Wish i had this tutorial ~5 years ago :(

[Notenoughepics]

@GameRespect thats what i said xD its all about unity multiplayer now ...but i'm glad he made this tutorial anyway ;p

[Patacorow]

I -LOVE- 39dll! And it's not complicated once you get it.

I'm currently working on an anti-lag movement simulation system, and server reliance, this dll rocks :D

[mrawoodcock]

@Patacorow Could you help me with a massive project?

[GeekyMe97]

Crap... I got exited about this... and then notice It's .gm81 T__T

I don't have 8.1! D:

[allgeeksunited]

@GeekyMe97 same here :\

[DanielSturk1]

@GeekyMe97 if you bought game maker 7 in 2009 im pretty sure its free for you, you can use ur activation code from gm7.

[GeekyMe97]

@DanielSturk1 Nope, I didn't buy Game Maker 7~ :c

[GeekyMe97]

Never-mind, I reloaded the page and it's a lot better now :3

I guess It was still processing or something~ :P

[GeekyMe97]

Is it only me... or is the video really blurry? I'm on 720p HD .__.

[DrkJay777]
