server progress

Done alot of work today on the server but not much to show for it :(. My scripting class is now very usable, though all its doing at the moment is loading server settings(such as server port etc.) My network class is also coming along nicely. I am using non-blocking sockets for the server so i don't have to worry about making anything thread safe :P.

New server log looks a bit like this :)

Server started


Well today i started on the server. A lot of the class skeleton/framework is in place and i have integrated the rhino javascript engine (check out the picture). Stand alone scripts work but I still have to design exactly how scripts are going to communicate with objects in the game world. I have also added a script editor to my world editor :). Tomorrow im gonna try and get some work done on the server network class and also loading the world data into the server.

World editor done! (sort of)


There it is, my amazing world editor for my new MMORPG project 'YAMMO' (Yet Another MMO). YAMMO will be an open source, real-time action mmorpg written in java that plays a bit like the old zelda games.

The editor (shown in the picture) allows me to create and edit area in the world with ease. It saves to a convenient XML format that should make loading the world back up again in the server simple :).
Please be aware these are not gonna be the actual graphics in the game! i just made these textures quickly for testing
