Hi I was curious about the depth of the MMO template that comes with the engine. I've watched the videos and did not see any interaction with NPCs or even player to player interactions. They looked like they were swinging at each other with no worries. I assume this means they were teamed?

Are they able to unteam for PvP encounters?

Is the MMO template simillar to the RPG template it comes with or atleast does it have simillar functional setups?

I also noticed every one was very choppy except the person taping the footage. Is this due to a non dedicated server running the game or is it something to do with the engine/MMO source code?

Thanks for your time.

No, it doesn't have any pvp functionality nor does it have implemented NPCs. Look at the roadmap, and even then PvP is something that should be programmed by the user themselves. afterall it is just a simple template not the final solution to every functionality in a mmo.

MMO template does not come with everything found in the RPG2 source code.

they might have been choppy because I believe it didn't use interpolation/extrapolation between Players updated positions this is network code specific and is related to all networked code you can find, as long as there is no interpolation/extrapolation being done it will always look a bit choppy.

interpolation/extrapolation is used in mmo.

Thanks for the replies.

It wasn't at the time when the "movie" was created.

So at this time int/ext is being used for the MMO template or is that coming soon?

My plan is to have a working FPS/MMO with a limited amount of inventory items to worry about. More story/achievement driven. I am assuming that shouldn't be much of a problem.

I've used a bit of Unity recently and they have ways to setup such "wannabe" MMO's with 3rd party softwares. It works fine for my purposes but for some reason I am liking Esenthel. One of those reasons being that the MMO network template is already in place. I haven't done any networking code before and would prefer to avoid it Not sure which to go with yet.

Thanks again for the info.

yes, interpolation is available
