The Zelaron MMORPG (Discussion thread)

Gimme a time setting and a difficulty, and I can probably make some quests up.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Well, if you had read my huge statement above you would know if you could add/edit code. I specifically mention that the language used is BlitzPlus and Blitz3D.

I wouldn't do java because we simply lack anyone in the field of that scripting language.

I find the blitz languages to be rather easy to learn which is why I'm also pushing for RealmCrafter. Another reason is because of the very nice graphics that are on the Pro version of it. Not saying that the first one didn't come with nice land meshes. I've also worked with the program for a while and can conclude that it's a good program.

Chruser, if we go with RealmCrafter I can package up the game in a professional looking installer.

I need to know if we are going to want an installer or if you just want the game to be packed with 7zip or WinRAR. Maybe both.

file.exe (MD5: ladsfjalfa;lfjas) - 367MB
file.7z (MD5: afjoeifjaklfj) - 405MB
file.rar (MD5: alkfjfjsldkfs) -390MB

I'm thinkin' the download page would be like that with a box around it, yeah?

The great thing about packaging it altogether is that you can stick HTML links to zelaron and how to support it blah, blah, blah.

By the way, I messed around with RealmCrafter and changed the opening menu. Mine looks better than the one that they have on there. Not that I'm going to be using RC Original for much longer. RC Pro, yahooo!

Wait, installer? What happened to the game being played within the browser?

I don't see how installers are an option for a Zelaron MMORPG, unfortunately.

I'm in favor of SmartFoxServer Pro. It's not very hard to learn how to use it, especially not if you, as I previously stated, know C++, PHP or Java already.

Here are some examples of SFS Pro applications (which can all run in web browsers with Flash players installed, without any other dependencies):
