Lay off him. If you dont like it then dont use it. Alot of people will however and your just going to start a flame war.

Ok off topic…

Not owning vb6 is not really a good reason to choose to use Vb.Net.

Furthermore I will be the one to day that vb6 **portable** works perfectly fine with all versions of eclipse. I have been using it for the past few months due to a damages Visual Studio 6 CD.

Now heading back towards the topic.

@Helladen: Because I want to. I am no longer going to explain my actions.

@Keebler: Thank you.

There was this thing for Windows 7 that you had to go from VB6 portable and use some registry thing to get to Enterprise on youtube, and it worked fine :3

I also had some retarded bug (If it is a bug) on vb6\. The redo function didn't work which sucked. It's completely impossible to create gui when you can't redo.

How about the 'ctrl + z' function?

Redo is ctrl + y.

Most likely no more than 100.

[manbearpig]

Amazing job!

[multigame]

Argh, I can't wait! It's just stuck in my head all the time.

[damian666]

hmm… even normal eclipse supports more then 100 man.

look at poke cyrus, 150 is nothing there.

it laggs though… and i think poke cyrus has a heavily editet version of eclipse...

[damian666]

that lag is mainly because of horrid coding, and a very old version of eclipse.

although it lags, it runs fine at times, i know, i have been on staff there for a while ^^

my point was that i think the net version will support more then 100 at a time.

A .NET server, if threaded correctly, could support 200+ players easy.

It should… Every MMO-engine should support over 100 people at a time...wouldn't be massive (not that anyone ever made a mmo with eclipse) anymore if it couldnt handle the players, right?

Yup. So long as he knows how to do more than one thread, and manage them appropriately, it will hold MANY MANY MANY players. I DOUBT anyone could make a game and have enough players to max it out. (For a 2D MMO I mean.)

Alright, my updates.
I went ahead and started working on the windows such as Inventory, Spells, and Options. I have updated my first post with more progress bars which I have just thought of 2 more to add.

I do not know how many players this will support. As Aero stated "if threaded correctly". IDK if I am threading correctly or not XD.

I would recommend you NOT spawn a thread for every player, but lump them into groups of threads. I.e. Thread 1 = Server base, Thread 2 = Connection Handler, Thread 3 = Players 1 - 10, Thread 4 = Players 11 - 12, etc.

Right now I am sticking to 2-3 threads. One for connection accepting. Another for sending/receiving data. And a third for the server loop.

[shadowchris]

I really want to see how this is done :P

I would recommend you use multiple for sending/receiving data. Otherwise you will end up with a loop that takes 5 minutes when you have 200 players on.
