Mirage Source

Actually no xD
I changed so much my game... well I'm still using the VB server, I need to learn more about C++, college's next semester subject ^^
I have one giant map, all in MySQL and I have a floor system, witch complicates a bit, not much.
I can try to edit this program to work for my game but I don't think there will be much advantages, it's all sql and it's slow... one giant 855*585 squares, that's 500175 tiles... each tile has...
That's... 38 Bytes each tile, so it's 19006650 Bytes, that's 18561.181640625 KBs, 18.1261539459228515625 MBs only the maps. But now my npcs can walk freely They can follow me anywhere, and most important, now I can have pets much easily that before ^^
I'll try this and later I'll post here if it worked or not.

That explains it.. It's possible this map utility will still work with your system, though I may have to make a 'map download' tool in the utility.. I had thought of uploading maps, but for some reason I hadn't thought about downloading maps..

Both features, I think, would require a change to the server.. But at least the basic mapping functions will work, so you could always edit them and upload them manually.. (Not you, Dragoons... but thanks for giving me some info on your project.. I'll see what I can do to accomodate ya)

Couldn't you just use the packets the client sends to the server to save, to upload?

And the packet server sends to the client for the player to edit the map?

Just tie it all into each other and stuff. ^_^

Well, the map is updated client side every time you walk, you have the area you see +1, each direction so it can smoothly change it when you move. So... no, well, it can be done but it would lag the server a loooooooooot.

No, I meant when you first go to a map and it downloads it or updates it. And then when you're editting a map, and you click send and it sends the new map. Couldn't you use that stuff for loading/saving?

[edited] This post was stupid lol.

If you want something as complicated as that, then you code it. My understanding is that he plans to have it able to edit several maps at once. Plain and simple.

I don't know about supersizing.. (We'll see..) But the other stuff is part of my plan already.. (How else would you edit multiple maps at once without seamless scrolling?)

Perfekt it was just an idea he didn't have to do it unless he wanted to.
