uMMORPG 2D Official Thread - The Unity 2D MMORPG Asset

Do you use (or plan to add) a chunking system for tilemap used with ummorpg?

Since only one scene/big tilemap seems to be usable with ummorpg and because this one might be very big (For example 8192 tiles by 8192: 67 108 864 tiles) it would be nice to have a way to load only what displayed around the player or camera with a chunking system and seamlessly loading them. It is possible or planned?

Thanks

 

You can use multiple Tilemaps if you want and enable/disable them when needed.

 

V1.48 [released 2019-06-12]

• NetworkManagerMMO: disable some log messages to not spam the server logs
• Mirror updated to latest version (OnDataReceived ArraySegment to reduce allocations, forceHidden fix, Telepathy allocations reduced)
• Database.OnApplicationQuit closes the connection to prevent locking.

 

as unity is developing a new multiplayer package and unet is currently deprecated How will future versions of ummorpg handle networking will it implement the new networking system and the DOTS System or will it use the modified unet as it is now using.

 

I think I already replied to you in Discord.
Mirror is our custom UNET fork, so we don't rely on UNET anymore.
Mirror can use any low level transport. We didn't configure it for Unity's new low level transport yet though, because until a few days ago all it did was unreliable UDP message sending, which is not enough for most games, especially MMOs.

 

Hi there, I used to work with a 2-D MMO, it went down in 2016 primarily due to issues with our engine and updating it to work with Windows 10 well (code dates back as far as 2003 when it was first designed, updating for 7 and 8 was an issue). I'm not really a programmer, but I want to give uMMORPG 2D a try.

Is there a list anywhere of which add-ons work for uMMORPG 2D vs uMMORPG? I figured most would work if they're dealing with UI elements.

Also, is there a visible equipment system or add-on that creates one?

So far, I'm very optimistic about rebuilding a new game, you've built a very nice framework.

 

Most addons should work if they aren't related to 3D. That being said, I never tried any of the community addons myself so maybe ask the community member that made the addon first.

There is visible equipment. Right now, the only example is the sword/bow weapon. Helmets etc. work the same way, I just didn't have sprites for those.

I have two questions:
1- Can I add a D-PAD por Android?

2- Can I add Mage class?

Thanks a lot

 

Sorry, another question!

Can i use RPG Map Editor for uMMORPG 2D?

 

Default controls are for pc.
You could try Unity's mobile controls from standard assets.

Yes you can add a mage class. Duplicate the archer, go from there

I never tried RPG Map Editor. What matters is that you can bake a navmesh on it.

 

Thanks a lot for ur answer. A last question...

If i build my project in Linux, and host them to a Linux server... After I build it for Android, can I connect to it from my cell phone?

 

Of course

 

I'm ashamed but i have another doubt.

It's easy to add payments of google play store to my game ?

 

It's possible, but you have to do that yourself

 

I just want to ask in real talk. I have programmed in some languages before, things like PHP/VBasic/Python/Javascript etc. So some fundamentals of programming I am at least familiar with. Loops, condition checking, variables, some database work etc. I have done almost nothing in C#, and while I have uMMORPG, I had no idea a 2D version existed or I would have bought this one instead.

My general question, with absolute minimal beginner programming ability, could you make a viable project/game with this engine? Are there tools or an editor where I could create classes, items, work on maps and zones and connect them, make quests and dialogs etc?

Like I said, I have uMMORPG but I didn't tinker with it because 3D is probably beyond my scope of making any sorts of assets for. I'm hoping that this would be simpler and allow me to use existing sprites or tilesets I already have to try and make a game. If tools make it easier and I don't actually have to program everything that'd be great, because most of what I want to do will come down to creating maps, dialog, items, and then I assume classes and their skills.

Is this easy enough to use for a noob like me that I could plod through and eventually come up with something workable?

(I'm also guessing there's no way to swap my uMMORPG license for an uMMORPG 2D one huh? )

 

Sorry, in an addendum to my previous post. I have worked a lot with something like let's say RPG Maker MV etc. So while I assume things would be nowhere as easy as that to use, I'm just wondering if there are any inbuilt utilities that might be familiar. Like map making, marking off passable/blocked terrain, any sort of event triggers or designating events, scripting or designating NPC movements etc. Sorry for all the questions!

 

Should be doable. If you have uMMORPG 3D then you pretty much know what 2D will be like, just with sprites instead of meshes. Using sprites is definitely easier and cheaper, especially for small indie projects.

 

Hi, i just started my story with Unity and ummorpg 2d, i was wondering if there is any tutorial on how to create the map in it that would be very helpfull for me, if not could someone explain me how to do it so? thanks.

 

Check out one of Unity's tilemap tutorials. Then rebake the navmesh each time after changing it (window->navigation2d -> bake)

 

Hello, i need two answers on my questions.
First of them. There is any tutorial or someone can help me to change sqlite to mysql. Another question is when i draw some of tilemaps and i add them to unity it take them as unwalkable. So i can only use from ur pack. I always make this navigation 2d->bake.

 

There is a mysql addon for uMMORPG, check out our discord.
Make sure to disable colliders for the tilemaps.

 

Hello there,

someone know how to change that look direction when walking for diagonal is left or rigt instead of up and down?
right now for example when Press A and W for diagonal walk, the player facing up but i want that he facing left.

i found that line in code

// update look direction on server and client (saves a SyncVar)
// -> always look at move or target direction (if any), otherwise
// use the last one when IDLE
// -> always orthonormal like (0,1) etc. and never (0, 0.5) so the blend
// tree doesn't actually blend between sprite animations
// -> with default value so that default is played instead of nothing for
// Vector2.zero cases
if (agent.velocity != Vector2.zero)
lookDirection = Utils.OrthonormalVector2(agent.velocity, lookDirection);

dont know if it is the right place to change it. if someone have idea plesae let me know.


thank you

 

remove the orthonormal part and modify your animation controller by adding diagonal animations

Hello, I am a bit curious about the UNET system being deprecated.
I noticed you answered this before but I remain a bit confused mainly due to the documentation for the 2d version.
It still references UNET a lot.

Should I worry about this? You state in your previous reply that you no longer depend on UNET as you have Mirror.

I am about to start a project but want to make sure that I don't use a system that won't be utilized much longer.

 

Also the documentation seems to not be up to date as it does not include all the new calls and functions that show up in your change logs. Will you be updating the documentation or do I just use the change log as a guide and ask you questions in discord when they come up and I cannot find the solution?

 

Hey, make sure to use our Discord server (see my signature). It's kind of like a live documentation.
And yes, the documentation is a bit outdated. It's been difficult to keep up with it all, since I spend most of my time making the code as good as I can. But good news is that uMMORPG 2D doesn't rely on UNET at all anymore. It uses Mirror instead: https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror/

 

V1.54 pending review:

• Mirror updated to latest version (fixed all open Mirror bugs, fixed a bug where isClient would always be false in OnDestroy, which caused the Skillbar not to be saved)

 

I hope it's some kind of joke / error, why was I banned from discord?

 

V1.55 pending review:

• Apathy updated to latest version. Fixes a bug where a failed connect wouldn't show a Disconnected message in GetNextMessages. Also fixes a race condition when spamming Connect/Disconnects.
• fix possible exploit where nontradeable items could be traded. IsInventorySlotTradeable now checks if item is tradeable.
• InventoryOperationsAllowed: don't allow while TRADING anymore. this way offer indices don't change when swapping inventory items. otherwise it's possible to swap a non-tradable item into the offers. Trade would be canceled when trying to trade it, but it's still too weird.

 

V1.56 pending review:

• Apathy updated to latest version. Fixes a bug where calling server.GetNextMessages after server.Disconnect(connectionId) would log an EBADF error because GetNextMessages would try to close an already closed socket.
• Apathy moved out of Mirror folder for easier Mirror updates
• Mirror updated to v10.4.10
• fix: Experience.BalanceExpReward calculation would return negative rewards for max level difference that aren't 10, like the default 20. Max difference is now an optional parameter so it can be tested easily.

 

V1.57 [released 2020-03-25]

• fix: https://github.com/vis2k/uMMORPG/issues/33 NetworkProximityGridChecker.OnDestroy only removes connection from grid if the identity is the connection's main player (not a pet that is owned by the player). Fixes a bug where despawning a pet would make all surrounding npcs/monsters disappear for a while.

 

Hi, a question.. this is all the files You need to start a MMORPG Game? I mean server and client files, db, scripts, everything? Thanks

 

Yes, everything included.
After purchasing you can press Play in the editor and it immediately works!

 

1 question - Is there any restriction on this working on Android? the database, Mirror, anything?

 

Works fine on android.
Although you probably wouldn't want to run a server on a phone, you would use a dedicated server on the internet for that.

 

Sounds great! Thanks for the quick response.

 

How many conections Will be able to host if i have a dedicated server Xeon 16 cores, 64GB of Ram. Network i Have optical fiber 1GBPS upload and 1GBPS download?

 

For uMMORPG 3D you can handle around 1000 connections.
uMMORPG 2D should be faster. Maybe 1500.

 

Last question: it's possible to play on Android and iOS? I mean if it's possible to make the clients for Android le iOS, thanks

 

Yes, works on all unity supported platforms

 

I did purchase the assets, what's netx? Where do i get it?

 

You download it on the asset store, like all other assets

 

V1.58 - mount offset fixed. Now the player sprite is offset to the top, instead of the mount being offset to the bottom which caused the Y position to feel wrong at all times.

• fix: TargetProjectileSkill works for monsters without weapons now too
• Player prefabs: SpriteRenderer, Animator moved into ChildRoot. Make sure to reassign Player/EquipmentLocation/SortByDepth animators/renderers
• Wild Horse: seat gizmo added
• Mount: added seat property and assigned to the seat child object
• Player: mountSeatOffset + spriteToOffsetWhenMounted properties. The player sprite is now offset to be on top of the mount. Previously the mount was offset to be below the player, causing the position to be the player position to seem off all the time.

 

I download already, but where can i find a tutorial to start to using the editor?
