“In the information age, the barriers just aren't there. The barriers are self imposed. If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don't need millions of dollars of capitalization. You need enough pizza and Diet Coke to stick in your refrigerator, a cheap PC to work on, and the dedication to go through with it. We slept on floors. We waded across rivers.” ― John D. Carmack, Masters of Doom

Changelog:

V1.0 [released 2015-12-23]

First release with a whole lot of features already.

V1.1 [released 2016-01-05]

Fixed: entering an invalid name causes Disconnect

Entity Damage Popups are now optional

Updated Documentation

V1.2 [released 2016-01-08]

NetworkManager SavePlayerForConnection function added

Fixed a bug where Chat input couldn't be submitted on Mac

Added an IsValidAccount function as template so that people can easier find the place where account validation can be modified

Used Application.loadedLevelName instead of SceneManager again for downwards compatibility to Unity 5.2

Fixed a bug where the Player Database wasn't saved after closing the Editor in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

Fixed a bug where a Client couldn't connect again without restarting the game after disconnecting once

Changed Player Settings so that WebGL Builds work without the crashes that were caused by UNET

Automatically start Dedicated Server if in Headless Mode

Renamed DatabaseItem/Skill/Quest to Item/Skill/QuestTemplate because it makes more sense

Fixed a bug where the target indicator wasn't destroyed after disconnecting

V1.3 [released 2016-01-13]

Added STR & INT Attributes

Renamed folder "Database" to "ScriptableObjects"

Renamed "Prefabs/Items" folder to "Prefabs/ItemModels"

Character Info Window (and removed character stats from Equipment Window)

Slot Types are now shown in the Equipment Window next to the slots

Loot Window won't be shown anymore if the Monster didn't drop anything

Changed Character Database from ScriptableObject to XML in order to make it work in Builds too

Fixed a bug where right clicking an equipment item in the inventory would cause "Command called on Server" error when trying to equip it

Added IsValidAccount MYSQL example in comments

Added IsValidAccount HTTP-GET+PHP Script example in comments

V1.4 [released 2016-01-21]

Headless server can now handle 1000 monsters instead of only 50:

added LayerMasks to ignore Monster<->Monster collisions, Npc<->Npc collisions, Player<->Player collisions etc.

Dedicated Servers also don't show Entity Animations anymore.

[Tested on Intel i5-4430 CPU and Linux Mint; the headless server uses 100% of one CPU core and only 209MB of RAM. 1000 Monsters are starting to cause minor delays in the Client.]

Renamed PlayerSkill to Skill and PlayerQuest to Quest because the UNET bug that appeared after renaming them seems to be gone in 5.3.1f1.

UNET Server Hosting Tutorial

Database now saves and loads Quests too

Note: delete current Database folder before using new version

Fixed NetworkNavMeshAgent agent.destination==pos comparison bug where the agent's baseOffset was missing in the calculation

Refactored Character Selection method: it now uses ClientScene.AddPlayer + NetworkManager.OnServerAddPlayer instead of a custom message handler, as suggested in the UNET forums. This also avoids the "playerController higher than expected: 0: warning.

V1.5 [released 2016-01-30]

Note: make sure to delete the old Database folder because CharacterData has changed

Used UI instead of OnGUI and removed 500 Lines of OnGUI Code

Added [TextArea] attribute to Items, Skills and Quests for easier editing in the Inspector

Renamed PlayerSkill.cs file to Skill.cs

Moved IsHeadless detection from LoginMask to NetworkManager

Fixed a bug where Skillbar Hotkeys were checked for all players and not just for the local Player

Added string.ToInt() extension method

Player Skills are now all in one list instead of using a Learned and Learnable list

Workaround for a UNET bug where skills/quests wouldn't be synchronized to clients if we loaded them before the AddPlayerForConnection call

Moved all Player logic into the Player class and all Player UI updates into another class for simplicity

Simplified NPC Quest/Trade window logic by using two NPCs and getting rid of the initial NPC dialog

Removed NetworkManager prefab because it's in the Hierarchy at all times anyway

String IsNullOrWhitespace is now a static method instead of an extension, because it wouldn't be able to detect 'null' on a string that is 'null' if it's an extension

Removed 2 unnecessary client variables in NetworkManager message sending

Added Player quest limit to avoid database size exploits etc.

Set 'Trees' Layer to 'default'

CmdNavigateTo now checks if the Player is alive before navigating somewhere (dead players now can't walk anymore if they were to send a navigation package to the server)

Loading a Player with 0 HP now also sets the initial state to "DEAD"

Fixed "Command function CmdCancelAction called on server." by creating a CancelAction function that can be called on the server without any errors.

Simplified Skill logic by replacing the 'lastCasted' variable with 'cooldownEnd' and 'casttimeEnd'. This makes cooldown/casttime remaining calculations and database saving/loading much easier and allows for skills to be canceled without starting the cooldown.

Simplified Monster skill cast logic by replacing the 'lastCasted' variable with 'castTimeEnd'.

CancelAction improved: it now stops movement or cast first and only clears the target when pressed again

NetworkManager save interval decreased from 5 minutes to 1 minute

NetworkManager OnDestroy now doesn't try to save the host character anymore because it only worked sometimes anyway; it also fixes a skill saving bug where Time.time was '0' already it in OnDestroy, causing skills to be saved with high cooldowns.

Increased WebGL memory size to 512MB

V1.6 [released 2016-02-03]

Chat shows Debug Log again in Development Builds

Added some NetworkManager 'not in game world yet?' checks for Character Selection & Deletion

Renamed NetworkManagerCustom to NetworkManagerMMO

NetworkManager.OnClientDisconnect now shows a Popup so that the user knows what happened

NetworkManager.IsConnecting() function added

LoginMask buttons are not interactable while connecting

ClientRpc UNET documentation was misleading, which caused some Chat messages to be sent to the wrong people. Fixed it and reported it here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/suggestion-globalrpc-observerrpc-targetrpc.382486/

Character Creation now checks if the name already exists in any account's characters, not just the creator's account's characters

Converted all Texture Compression to "Truecolor" in order to avoid the WebGL Black Texture bug

Slightly adjusted the ground color to make it more blue

Added NetworkProximity component to Damage Popups, now they are only shown to observers that are very close (instead of being shown to everyone)

Player.TryCastSkill now checks if the skill is ready before casting it. This fixes a bug 'autorepeat' skills would skip cooldowns.

Monsters don't try to move to a killed target after it respawns anymore.

Changed "skillCur != -1" checks to "0 <= skillCur < skills.Count" check for additional safety

V1.7 [released 2016-02-13]

Npc Dialogue reimplemented and NpcMerchant/NpcQuestgiver logic merged into Npc class again

Player to Player trading

Note: the trade button can be found under the target panel and it's clickable if the players are standing close enough together

Renamed Camera Script to "CameraMMO" for consistency

Added 'state' validation to all Commands

Renamed Skill.cs file to BuggySkill.cs as a workaround to the following bug: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/bug-syncliststruct-only-works-with-some-file-names.384582/

V1.8 [released 2016-02-18]

Note: make sure to delete the old Database folder because the XML structure has changed a bit.

Rewrote XML database code from scratch. Everything is much simpler now and there is no more need for an extra CharacterData class. This also improves the NetworkManager's database handling code a lot. The Database code is now short, elegant and a really good solution.

Simplified Entity, Monster, Npc, Player: all property functions like GetHp(), IncreaseHp(), DecreaseHp() were replaced with public properties (C#'s get{ } set{ } construct)

This saves lots of code and makes development much easier, because something like player.IncreaseHp(1); is now as simple as ++player.hp;

Simplified Player experience increasing algorithm

NetworkManager now checks account name max length and valid characters

NetworkManager OnServerAddPlayer: removed unnecessary go.SetActive(true) call

Renamed item/skill/quest ExistsInDB function to TemplateExists

Loot window doesn't show up and close immediately anymore when trying to loot a dead monster that has no loot.

Removed unused trashIcon property in Player Script.

Upgrade to Unity 5.3.2f1

V1.9 [released 2016-03-01]

Note: make sure to delete the old Database or add a "<class>Warrior</class>" node to each saved character.

Upgraded to Unity 5.3.3 for UNET fixes.

Player class selection in Character Creation.

Added an 'Archer' class

Model with Animations

Bow and Arrow

Ranged Skills that work for Arrows, but also for magical skills like fireballs.

Damage Popups are now only instantiated on clients and not on the server anymore (for performance)

Removed NetworkDestroyAfter and NetworkTextMesh Scripts.

Damage Popups are now Instantiated at the Entity's center (not at the feet anymore)

Added Entity/Npcs,Monsters,Players folder and renamed default player to Warrior

Entity now has a damage popup height offset property, so that the popups aren't shown at the entity's feet anymore.

Circle Indicator's up Vector is now set to the RaycastHit's normal Vector so that the indicator is also properly rotated on terrains that are not just flat.

Replaced character model's eyebrow white color with a texture.

Re-enabled Skeleton name overlay.

Player's account property is now hidden in inspector.

Fixed Dark Sword and Desert Cleaver sell price so that it's always lower than the buy price.

Added Item Template price validation to make sure that the sell price is never higher than the buy price.

Changed Warrior's weapon slot type to 'EquipWeaponSword' to prevent it from equipping a bow.

Adjusted Warrior Animation Controller Attack-simple exit time to the animation duration.

Removed unused 'Effect' variable from SkillTemplate and Skill.

Added transform.FindRecursively extension method.

Changed the function Entity.DealDamage to Entity.DealDamageAt and implemented a modified version for the Player, so that it grants him experience after killing a monster (which was done in TryCasting before)

Adjusted NameOverlay Y position from 2.5 to 2.3.

Added a NetworkProximityChecker custom Script that detects the pelvis collider, so that entities don't need a placeholder collider for proximity to work.

Changed Alchemist tag from Monster to Npc.

A monster's AggroArea GameObject is now the last in the hierarchy, so that GetComponentInChildren<Collider>() always returns the pelvis collider and not the AggroArea's collider.

Can't put an item into an equipment slot of type "" anymore.

Disabled Tree GameObject's Terrain Collider for performance.

Changed shortcut menu order.

Replaced NameOverlay script with more general FaceCamera and TextMeshCopyName components.

Replaced DamagePopup script with more general FaceCamera and DefaultVelocity components.

DamagePopup now uses a Rigidbody instead of transform.position to move upwards.

Removed unused UniqueID script.

Changed NetworkManager's second channel to 'Reliable Sequenced' in order to avoid some 'Did not find target for sync message' warnings.

Added Monster 'followDist' property to follow targets further than the movement radius (important for ranged attackers).

Players now automatically pull aggro when attacking a Monster to make sure that Archers also pull aggro.

V1.10 [released 2016-03-05]

Monster OnAggro now has a [ServerCallback] attribute instead of a isServer check

Removed unused ParticleSystemDestroyer Script from Standard Assets folder.

Replaced 'transform.' with cached 'tr.' in all Entity Scripts for performance.

Added SyncList.FindIndex extension method and used it in Player Script to shorten code.

Added more How-To's to the Documentation.

Fixed a bug where the player's start position could only be set within some weird boundary because transform.position was used to set the initial position instead of agent.Warp.

Added workaround to a reintroduced UNET bug (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/bug-old-synclist-callback-bug-was-reintroduced-to-5-3-3f1.388637/) by updating 3D equipment all the time instead of using the callback. This will be reverted as soon as the UNET bug was fixed again.

Changed Bow and Arrow shader to 'Cutout' so that the feather is transparent and not surrounded by a yellow color.

Slightly adjusted the Floor color.

Added SetListener extension to replace the RemoveAllListeners() + AddListener() calls when refreshing the UI.

Updated uMMORPG icons.

Removed 'Linux graphics glitches' bug from the list because it is fixed in Unity 5.3.3.

V1.11 [released 2016-03-10]

Removed each Entity's RotationFix child object and properly rotated all the models now.

Can't attack monsters without a weapon anymore (fixes a NullReferenceException when trying to attack a monster without a bow as an archer)

Removed unnecessary target=null clearing in Monster's and Player's death event checks and did it all in one place now.

Fixed a bug where a player would still move to his destination even if he was killed while moving.

ShowPopup messages now accumulate if a message has to be shown while the Popup window already shows one.

Fixed a bug where Skills with cooldowns weren't automatically repeatable.

Added ConsoleGUI component that shows a little console at the top of the Screen in case of errors and warnings, because Unity's DevelopmentConsole only works in development builds, but people should see errors in all builds.

Renamed NetworkManagerMMO custom OnClientError function to OnClientReceivePopup for consistency.

V1.12 [released 2016-03-28]

Upgraded to Unity 5.3.4f1 for more UNET fixes.

Improved the issue #774970 workaround to also update weapon models on dedicated servers and avoid a null reference exception when firing arrows

V1.13 [released 2016-04-06]

Added Patcher part to Documentation

Login with invalid Account or too long account also causes Disconnect now

NetworkNavMeshAgent Teleport detection improved to fix a bug where other player's wouldn't teleport after respawning

Entity now caches NetworkIdentity

Only update Entities that have observers (saves 30% of the CPU usage when using lots of monsters)

Mobile Support

Database now works on Mobile

Android settings adjusted (Landscape, load indicator, bundle identifier, quality settings)

Added a Chat Send button for Mobile support

V1.14 [released 2016-04-11]

Note: delete the old Database or add <buffTimeEnd>0</buffTimeEnd> to each character.

Added Buffs (see the Warrior's Health Aura skill)

AggroArea and OnAggro now work with the 'Entity' type instead of the 'Monster'/'Player' types. This is useful for cases where other Entities (like NPCs) need Aggro Areas.

Smaller Syntax improvements

V1.15 [released 2016-04-18]

All Distance Calculations now use Utils.ClosestDistance function, which uses a point on the collider that is closest to the other entity, instead of using the center. This solves the problem where big boss monsters wouldn't be attackable if their radius would be bigger than their or their attacker's attack range.

Shortcut menu now toggles the Windows instead of only opening them.

Worked around bug #788203 where WebGL builds failed when inheriting from NetworkProximityChecker. We now use a NetworkProximityFix script to work around it, hence WebGL builds work again.

Enable Code Stripping and .Net Subset in WebGL settings again because the bug that prevented us from doing that seems to be fixed in 5.3.4f1.

V1.16 [released 2016-04-21]

Login mask and character selection quit buttons are now handled in the UI script

Newly created players now spawn with full health and mana

Monster loot gold is now a SyncVar (fixes a bug where clients wouldn't see it)

lootItems.Clear is now called before hiding entities to work around UNET bug #788537 (loot works fine in clients now)

Replaced all TextMeshes with UI text (more modern, not visible through walls)

Fixed a bug where a second quest couldn't be accepted if the first one wasn't finished yet

V1.17 [released 2016-04-25]

PvP Murder System

Dead players can't be healed anymore

Dead players can't buff themselves anymore

NPC dialogue is now automatically closed when running out of the talk range

Entity.Recover is now virtual so that it can be overwritten

Buffs can now heal/drain health and mana percentage per second

Player canAttackPlayers flag to enable/disable PvP

Player DealDamageAt now passed 'entity' instead of 'target' parameter to base function

Skill time is now displayed in a prettier way (1d 2h 3m 4s)

V1.18 [released 2016-04-27]

Renamed Quest.cs file to BuggyQuest.cs to work around UNET bug #737241

V1.19 [released 2016-05-13]

Workaround for WebGL scroll sensitivity bug #79326. WebGL build zoom speed is better now.

Added a Login Cancel button to stop login attempts that may take a long time.

Fixed a few typos and missing words in comments.

V1.20 [released 2016-05-19]

Monster now uses 'deathTimeEnd' and 'RespawnTimeEnd' instead of increasing a 'timeElapsed' counter to make sure that monsters that haven't been updated in a while will immediately respawn if they are updated again after a long time.

V1.21 [released 2016-05-24]

NPC Dialogue buttons are now in a scroll view, so that any amount of buttons is supported.

NPC Dialogue Teleport option.

V1.22 [released 2016-06-07]

Note: please upgrade your Unity to version 5.3.5!

Upgraded to Unity 5.3.5 for important bug fixes

Removed Equipment Callback bug workaround because SyncList hooks are now called at the right time again.

Using NetworkProximityCheckerCustom again because the IL2CPP WebGL build bug was fixed.

Added a note to ScriptableObjects folders where it's important that all of them are in the same folder.

Improved chat scrolling after a new message was received so that it always scrolls to the bottom now.

Can't attack self anymore.

Updated documentation.

V1.23 [released 2016-06-13]

Area of Effect Skills

Added more how-to's to the documentation

Added Monster.HasLoot() function that checks loot gold and loot items properly.

Loot window is now properly shown and hidden if the monster has or has no loot.

V1.24 [released 2016-06-07]

WSAD Movement

Projectiles (Arrows) now adjust their rotation in Start already, so that they don't spawn with weird rotations.

Using SceneManager instead of Application.loadedLevel now

V1.25 [released 2016-06-21]

Note: database skill saving and loading changed, so please delete your previous database or modify existing ones to the new scheme. Also make sure to redo all properties for your skills.

Skill Upgrades

Removed redundant TextCopyName script that accidentally wasn't removed when renaming it to UITextCopyName a while ago.

Added 'How to keep track of uMMORPG changes in detail' to documentation.

Utils.PrettyTime doesn't return an empty string for '0' anymore. Fixes an issue where Normal Attack skills without cooldowns would show empty strings in the cooldown description.

UI SkillSlots used in the skill list now have a minimum width and height. Fixes an issue where some skill icons would be squeezed together if the description text was too wide.

Fixed an issue where equipment tooltips could still be shown after dragging an item out of the equipment slot.

Added a missing target null check in Player.UpdateCasting.

V1.26 [released 2016-06-25]

Monsters now only switch their target if the new target is at least 20% closer. Avoids cases where monsters would nervously switch between two targets that are about equally far away.

Item-, Skill- and Quest templates are now loaded via Resources.LoadAll to make sure that those that aren't referenced by anyone in the scene are still loaded. This is important in cases where certain items may not be dropped anymore after an event, but should still be loadable for the player's inventories.

Skill.autorepeat is now skill.followupDefaultAttack. This can be set to true so that the character keeps attacking with the default attack (the first skill in the list) after casting a skill on a target. This makes combat much more pleasant, because the character wont' just stop fighting after casting a skill.

UpdateCasting is now canceled when trying to cast an attack skill on a target that disappeared or died.

Note: the skill animation might still keep playing to the end. I am currently researching the best way to stop that too.

V1.27 [released 2016-07-01]

Simplified the Player skill system and moved it to Entity.cs so that Player, Monster and Npc can make use of it.

Monster skills can now be created in the project area, just like with players

Note: they only use the first skill in the list for now

Entity.cs now has 'CastCheckSelf', 'CastCheckTarget' and 'CastCheckDistance' functions to check all skill cast requirements. And it has a 'CastSkill' function to apply the skill. Monster and Player state machines take care of waiting for the cast time, just like before. But the weird TryCastSkill function and the weird UpdateCasting code are now gone.

Player and Monster attack animations now has the correct exit time in the controller (didn't use a normalized time before, but Unity wants a normalized time)

Simplified Player and Monster animator parameters to only use skillCur instead of triggers. Also makes parameter passing in Player.LateUpdate easier

Player and Monster Skill canceling now works in any case and also stops the animation properly

Player.CancelAction now also clears 'skillNext'

Simplified Player.CancelAction state checks

Don't allow WSAD movement while the chat input is selected

Clear indicator circle when starting WSAD movement.

Renamed Player.HasEquipmentWeapon to HasCastWeapon and moved it to Entity.cs

Monster.OnAggro check now uses Entity.CanAttackType since it's there anyway

Added missing 'else' in an 'else if' clause in Player.UpdateMoving

Monster now uses RemainingDistance instead of Speed as animation parameter, just like the Player

Monsters now really clear the target if it died, so that they don't walk to Players anymore after they respawned.

Manually placed trees instead of using SpeedTree and LOD, saving 400k polygons.

V1.28 [released 2016-07-05]

Monster now has a distance check before trying to cast a spell on a target in the aggro radius

Player and Monster buffs are now stopped upon death in OnDeath

Monsters now move into skill cast range * 0.8 again

Monsters and Players now use the 'speed' parameter instead of 'RemainingDistance' parameter for the movement animation. Also added a comment to explain why this is the only working option

Also fixes the 'sliding' issue when using WSAD movement for vertical movement.

Added additional 'move to start if target is not in follow distance' checks to monster state machine

V1.29 [released 2016-07-18]

Deterministic finite state machine

Redesigned the state machine completely

All events are now handled in every state. This avoids all kinds of weird situations.

It is much cleaner and easier to read now.

Fixes several smaller state issues like 'monster still walks to the player after respawning', etc.

The state can now only be set in the state update functions (via return) and nowhere else. This means that we have all state changes where they should be now.

Entity state updates now work without SendMessage, which should have a decent performance impact.

Using 'skillCur = skillNext = -1' to clear skillCur and skillNext now, because it's shorter.

Updated documentation (Entity.cs now has a new comment that explains the state machine).

Added 'targetNext' similar to 'skillNext', which is set when trying to change a target while casting a skill on the current target. It is only changed after the cast is finished.

Player.IsTradeOfferStillValid now uses Linq's .All method and is a one liner.

Player to Player trading code simplified.

V1.30 [released 2016-07-22]

Tooltips for Quests, Items and Skills reimplemented.

The code is much simpler and the tooltip text can be set in the Inspector. The code simply replaces the variables like {DAMAGE} in the tooltip text.

Not all items have to have the same tooltip now. Health potions can simply contain the amount healed, they don't need to show that they do 0 damage etc.

All tooltip code was moved out of SkillTemplate/QuestTemplate/ItemTemplate and into Skill/Quest/Item for consistency.

Also improved the murderer and offender tooltips.

Skill constructor time code syntax improved.

Extensions import syntax improved.

ConsoleGUI syntax improved by moving the #if #endif macro around Awake.

CopyPosition simplified and syntax improved.

Database inventory and equipment item loading syntax simplified.

Entity doesn't require an animator component anymore. Players and monsters do now. This is for cases where Entities don't have animations (towers, dummies, etc.).

Entity doesn't cache transform component as 'tr' anymore for easier readability and shorter code.

Entity.IsMoving syntax improved.

Entity.OnAggro syntax improved.

Entity.CastCheckTarget syntax improved.

NetworkManagerMMOUI.IsLocalPlayerInWorld syntax improved to a one liner.

V1.31 [released 2016-08-08]

Upgraded to Unity 5.3.6

Monsters, Npcs, Players now have a slightly bigger collider for easier click targeting

UIRefresh checks skill.IsReady before sending Cmd

V1.32 [released 2016-08-15]

Fixed UIRefresh.UpdateSkillbar bug where 'i' was used instead of 'skillIndex' when accessing the player's skills

Downgrade to Unity 5.3.5 to avoid UNET reconnect bug that happens in 5.3.6

V1.33 [released 2016-08-22]

UI is now component based (attached to each UI element) instead of keeping everything inUIRefresh and NetworkManagerUI scripts

UI slots for inventory, equipment, quests, skills, etc. are now dynamically instantiated/destroyed to match the slot amount

All UI panels now have scrollbars to work with any amount of slots for inventory, quests, skills, etc.

Equipment category overlays are now automatically extracted from the equipment category, e.g. "EquipmentWeaponBow" overlay is "Bow"

Fixed a bug where all character selection buttons were disabled when reaching the character limit. Instead, the character creation button is now disabled when reaching the character limit.

UI Color(0,0,0,0) replaced with Color.clear for cleaner code

Monster: only fire respawn event if 'respawn' is true

V1.34 [released 2016-09-07]

Upgraded to Unity 5.4

Renamed Chat.ChatAddMessage to Chat.AddMessage

Renamed ChatEntry prefab to SlotChat

Fixed <= usage for skillindex <= skill.sCount instead of < skills.Count in Monster and Player scripts

Added active checks to UILogin and UICharacterCreation to only update when necessary

UIMinimap: removed unnecessary GetComponent<Text>() call when accessing levelName

NPC Dialogue is now only updated while the panel is active

CastCheckTarget now sets target to self first if needed for heals, buffs, etc. and player sets targetNext=target before calling CastCheckTarget. This is a very elegant solution to enforce the right target and then jump back to the previous one after the skill cast was finished.

Damage Popups improved and feel better now

The are TextMeshes instead of UI Texts again to avoid the Unity 5.4 Destroy Canvas crash

Red, italic font

Shadow effect

Fading

Velocity decreased slightly

They spawn on top of the entity now

UIEquipment parse last noun algorithm moved to Utils

Utils.IsCursorOverUserInterface checks UI and OnGUI now

Camera doesn't zoom in when scrolling in the Inspector anymore (thanks to 5.4)

Entity.hp and Entity.mp never return anything bigger than hpMax or MpMax to avoid cases where HpPercentage would return values bigger than one after a buff anded.

PlayerDndHandling switched split and merge comments, which where the wrong way around

PlayerDndHandling is not a NetworkBehaviour anymore and is UI/OnGUI independent now. Also modified UIDragAndDropable to work with the new one.

Moved all UI scripts into a UI folder for consistency

Moved Utils.BalancePrefabs function to UIUtils for consistency

ConsoleGUI renamed to GUIConsole and moved into OnGUI folder for consistency

Improved tooltip readability by using a darker navy tone background color

NPC Quest dialogue now shows the active quest status if the quest was accepted before. This makes sure that the 0/0 Monsters killed status is the up to date one.

NPC Trading UI sell slot now has a valid check to avoid possible issues where the item might disappear from the inventory but would still be shown in the sell slot.

V1.35 [released 2016-09-12]

Adjusted Damage Popup shadow size to original size

UIUtils.AnyInputActive helper function

Properly deselect Chat so it doesn't scroll or reactivate when doing WSAD movement afterwards

NPC can have multiple quests now

NPC only shows the quests that are available for the player's level

Made quest UI wider

Quests can now have 'gather item' requirements

startpos renamed to Spawn

NetworkNavMeshAgent adjustments to avoid bug #786248 in any case

UISkills sets entry.name to real skill list index now to avoid Drag and Drop issues when skills where added to the skill template list after status effects

V1.36 [released 2016-09-23]

Upgraded to Unity 5.4.1p1 to avoid UNET bugs

Damage Popup RPC is sent to attacker instead of target to avoid cases where it may not reach the target if it died

Moved character create function from NetworkManager to Database

Spawn has a Gizmo now for better visibility in the scene view

V1.37 [released 2016-10-13]

Upgraded to Unity 5.4.1p2 to avoid UNET bugs

New feature: quests have a 'completed' flag now and are stored in the player's quest list forever, so that they are not repeatable anymore

This was the first huge quest improvement. There are more to come after testing this one for a while.

UI Login position rounded

Entity.DealDamageAt now calls OnAggro in any case, instead of only calling OnAggro if a Player attacks a Monster

Skillbar, Inventory, Equipment Slot sizes aren't hardcoded anymore and stretch to the GridLayout's size instead

NetworkManager SavePlayers is now invoked in OnStartServer and canceled in OnStopServer, so that SavePlayers is not called on clients anymore

Monster OnDrawGizmos pos renamed to startHelp for clarity

NetworkManager OnServerDisconnect player controller finding simplified and index is not hardcoded anymore

NetworkManager OnApplicationQuit sends a StopClient packet to the server now, so that clients are logged out immediately and to avoid the UNET timeout OnDisconnectError bug where possible.

Quests.IsFinished renamed to IsFulfilled for clarity

V1.38 [released 2016-10-18]

QuestTemplate uses [Header] now for clarity

Item/Skill/Quest/Buff structs use an int hash instead of a string name to reference the templates to greatly reduce bandwidth

Player.itemMallCategories array so that no more filtering/sorting is needed and to prepare for scriptable items

Entity.InventoryAdd tries to add to ALL existing stacks FIRST and THEN tries the EMPTY stacks instead of only looping once and adding to the first existing OR empty slot. Fixes a bug where an item would be added to slot0 even though slot1 had the same stack, only because slot0 was already empty.

Crafting probabilities

UI Window icons for all player windows

UI background/windows/foreground/login hints added in hierarchy; all invites moved to foreground, all HUD elements moved to background to make sure that invites are always seen, etc.

V1.126 [released 2018-07-24]

Upgraded to Unity 2017.4.7 LTS

UIDragAndDropable: OnDragAndClear is only fired when dropping a slot into nirvana, not when dropping it on a panel. Fixes issues where OnDragAndClear would be called if we'd drop something in the space between two item slots, etc. This just feels a lot more solid.

NetworkNavMeshAgent send interval changed from 0 to 100ms so it doesn't ddos the server with the latest HLAPI CE fixes where sendInterval actually works

NetworkNavMeshAgent reimplemented: huge bandwidth reduction because click movement only syncs when destination changed now, not while velocity changes (all the time previously). Also fixes several twitches for wasd moving clients. Added perfect warp detection + Rpc now too.

Skeleton Giant: added NetworkName component to avoid "(Clone)" suffix on clients

UILogin.registerButton not interactable while connecting anymore

V1.129 [released 2018-08-24]

V1.130 [released 2018-08-27]

V1.139 [released 2018-10-04]

Rubberband movement via NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding

Player.cmdEvents replaced with simple bools

Renamed WSADHandling to WASDHandling

NavMeshAgent.ResetMovement extension replaces all agent.ResetPath calls

Player FSM: movement modifications

V1.140 [released 2018-10-09]

Update Info: make sure to replace NetworkProximityCheckerCustom components with the new NetworkProximityChecker everywhere.

Player.LateUpdate sets animator moving parameter to Entity.IsMoving, so that the rubberband movement's animation isn't delayed and waiting for the server's 'state' variable anymore. This gives perfectly smooth movement. Also removed the Entity.IsMoving server tag now.

Player.OnValidate makes sure that NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding component is above Player component to avoid a bug where NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberband would overwrite local player host's WASD movement velocity.

Skill predecessor required levels

Updated Mirror; replaced NetworkProximityCheckerCustom with NetworkProximityChecker in all Entities and Skill Effects, because it was improved in the latest Mirror version

Usable Item cooldown buffs (for potions etc.)

Mirror updated to latest version (NetworkTime.time). Changed all endTimes to double and code uses NetworkTime.time instead of Time.time everywhere now.

NetworkNavMeshRubberbanding: lastReceivedDestination is now reset after the change was detected. Fixes a bug where the server would constantly detect the destination change.

Latency indicator

All player movement now happens on the client, the server never moves the player except for agent.Warp. Fixes race conditions and a bug where client couldn't move anywhere else after moving to a monster to attack it. There was no good way to solve the problem. Having all movement on the client gets rid of the magic.

Entity.FinishCastSkill now passes the full skill to the Rpc to avoid race conditions with synchronization where 'skillCur' might still be an old or new value and then OnCastFinished wouldn't be called. This way it's 100% fail safe.

Entity.OnSkillCastFinished event added

Player.OnSkillCastFinished now handles all the after-cast actions like nextSkill, nextDestination etc. and CASTING state force resets any new movement while casting to avoid race conditions and latency issues with rubberband movement

V1.141 [released 2018-10-10]

Stuns

V1.142 [released 2018-10-11]

Sound support added (ScriptableSkills)

Safe Zones added

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: added state check to the 'rubber' (validation) part to reject movement during casting/stunned/dead etc. no matter what. The player FSM already resets it, but we would still get twitching and lookAts otherwise.

Player FSM: TRADING state rejects movement now, instead of stopping the trade

WASD movement while CASTING now sets pendingVelocity and cancels follow up attacks instead of trying to do WASD movement while casting, which would be rejected on the server anyway

Player.WASDHandling doesn't do LookAt when trying to do WASD movement while casting

Crafting Time (can be set in the recipe)

Fixed archer & warrior start positions: forgot to reassign the prefabs in the start positions after the Mirror upgrade

Entity.CanAttack made virtual to provide base checks like alive, not self, etc., so Player/Monster/Pet don't have to check that themselves.

Entity.OnDeath clears currentSkill so that Monster/Player/Pet don't need to do it manually

V1.143 [released 2018-10-12]

Upgrade Info: this will break your existing quests, sorry. It will be 100% worth it though.

Scriptable Quests: ScriptableQuest is now abstract and can be inherited from for custom quest types, e.g. 'gather item' or 'kill monster' or 'kill player 10 levels higher than you', 'walk to location', etc.

Entity.OnTriggerEnter/Exit are now protected so that inheriting classes can use OnTrigger functions too, while still calling base.OnTriggerEnter/Exit

Changed AudioSources for all prefabs to 3D from 2D (spatial blend)

V1.144 [released 2018-10-15]

3D Character Selection

Modified 'Blocked Path' environment area for 3D character selection

Entity.UpdateOverlays function for nameoverlay updating etc. Puts that functionality into one simple function that is also inherited by Npc/Player/Pet for their overlays. Makes UpdateClient functions a lot more simple.

Mirror updated to latest version (NetworkIdentity.observers improvements, AssetId via Guid, etc.)

WebGL default quality set to simple

UI Latency: fixed okay color (yellow instead of green too)

Monster prefab's StunnedOverlay layers set to 'Monster' now (instead of 'Player'). Same for Pet.

Added version number (player settings - bundle identifier)

UI Crafting Panel position updated

Entity now has a public audioSource field to be assigned in the Inspector. This avoids a ScriptableSkill.OnCastStarted GetComponent call

Utils.ClosestDistance uses ClosestPoint and returns 0 for intersections

collider.ClosestPointOnBounds replaced with Collider.ClosestPoint everywhere for improved accuracy. Also reduced all normal attack skill ranges a bit to adjust for it.

Upgraded to Unity 2017.4.13 LTS

V1.147 [released 2018-11-20]

Equipment slots moved from Player to Entity so that TargetProjectileSkill can check the entity's equipment for ammo

Equipment slot amount overlays

SummonableItem.CanUse: make sure that player state is IDLE or MOVING so pets/mounts can't be summoned while casting, stunned, etc. anymore

UINpcTrading assigns dragable so empty slots can't be dragged

UINpcRevive assigns dragable so empty slots can't be dragged

Pet uses owner's speed so that it can follow fast and mounted owners without teleporting

Summonable.owner caches result now so it also works before Spawn was called. Fixes a NullReferenceException if a pet with max level and max exp was summoned, in which case Pet.experience would access Pet.owner, which was still null because NetworkServer.Spawn wasn't called in PetItem yet when assigning experience.

V1.152 [released 2018-12-19]

Mirror updated to latest version (performance improvements)

Player.UpdateClient skill usage: range is not multiplied with attackToMoveRangeRatio again anymore, because it already is before

Bandit follow distance increased to 20 so the archer can't kill it without pulling aggro anymore

ProjectileSkillEffect onSetInitialPosition event added and hooked up to Arrow prefab's TrailRenderer.Clear function to fix the trail's initial position on clients.

Player UI windows all close after disconnect now.

V1.153 [released 2018-12-31]

Mirror updated to latest version (OnStartClient not called in scene objects fix)

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding simplified. Sends position every 100ms instead of path & velocity magic

NetworkNavMeshAgent: reuse HasPath detection

NetworkNavMeshAgent OnDeserialize now resets path when reading velocity to properly handle ResetPaths. Fixes a bug where monsters would slide on the client if they were killed while moving

Mount.OnStartServer doesn't load skill templates anymore. Mounts don't use skills.

Mount: removed unnecessary MOVING state and EventMoveEnd event. Mount only cares about alive or dead.

V1.154 [released 2019-01-04]

Mirror updated to latest version (rpc hashing, syncinterval, fixes)

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: TargetResetMovement includes the reset position so that client keeps in sync with whatever player position was on the server

Fix warrior not attacking monster when double clicking after reaching target

Fix client not being able to target other monsters after killing one

Player.cancelActionKey instead of checking for KeyCode.Escape everywhere

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: simplified local player movement change detection. Fixes a bug where server would constantly detect client moves

V1.155 [released 2019-01-29]

Manual Upgrade:

Open uMMORPG with Unity 2018.2.2f20

Delete old Mirror folder, use the new one

Drag all networked prefabs (monsters, players, skill effects, etc.) into the scene. Select them all. Go to debug view in the Inspector (top right icon), reassign missing NetworkIdentity components.

Reassign missing NetworkProximityChecker components with new NetworkProximityGridChecker and reassign proximity checker fields in Entity components.

Save each prefab, remove them all from the scene again.

Don't panic. If you have trouble upgrading then please let me know and I'll help. This is the last time we have to replace script components with Mirror.

Switch Scripting Runtime version in Edit->Player Setttings to .NET 4.x, restart Unity, delete System.Data.dll from sqlite folder.

Upgraded to Unity 2018.2.20f1 + .Net 4.x to fix a bug where a client build would freeze after 3-15 minutes on OSX when the client sends data over the network. Originally we wanted to wait for Unity 2018.4 LTS to upgrade, but this fix is too important to wait.

Mirror updated to latest version: source drop-in instead of DLLs and a lot of bug fixes and improvements.

Escape key now cancels movement locally instead of on the server. Avoids a forced reset to the server's slightly behind position on local player.

Fixed chmod for files from 755 to 644 (default)

Remove [SyncVar] GameObject workarounds because Mirror handles it now

NetworkManagerMMO headless detection removed and feature enabled in Mirror's new NetworkManager instead

Adjusted spawn points so people don't spawn floating in the air for one frame

Cleared all name/guild/stun/quest overlays by default, so that they aren't shown for one frame when spawning and when moving into proximity

Skeleton giant scale reset to 1, increased 3D model scale instead. Fixes issues with too big and too blurry name overlays.

Mount: MOVING animation checks owner.IsMoving instead of owner.state==MOVING so that the animation isn't delayed in high latency situations

NetworkProximityGridChecker: 30x performance increase when checking 1000 monsters and almost half GC

Less logging on server, to focus on the important messages instead

Entity.OnTriggerEnter/Exit made virtual so it can be overwritten by Player without 'new' keyword

Player.OnTriggerEnter checks if server before calling QuestsOnLocation to fix the warning messages that QuestsOnLocation was called on client

Dont' show rubberbanding message each time. This might happen a lot under heavy load when resetting other player's positions on the client

Added BuffsPanel under Buffs to properly hide them after disconnecting

V1.156 [released 2019-02-05]

Enable nagle algorithm by default. Scales better with CCU.

Mirror updated to latest version (headless tickrate, lateupdate race condition fix, telepathy ever increasing threadcount fix)

SkillEffect RequireComponent changed to NetworkProximityGridChecker too

Fix guild members not seeing their guild info after logging in again

Renamed HealSkillTemplate to HealSkill for consistency

Fix AreaBuffSkill / AreaHealSkill being applied multiple times if the candidate had multiple colliders

Remove unused Extensions.FindRecursively

GetNearestStartPosition moved from Extensions to NetworkManager

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: TargetResetMovement not public anymore because it shouldn't be used from the outside

Player.networkNavMeshAgent field renamed to .rubberbanding

Rubberbanding: agent.ResetMovement replaced with rubberbanding.ResetMovement for 100% accurate detection. Removed .Reset detection from NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding.Update to fix false positive detection.

V1.157 [released 2019-02-09]

Chat renamed to PlayerChat because it's a player component

Instanced dungeons & portals

NavMeshComponents are now used for dungeon and environment

Removed unused fields from Party.cs

Chat.CmdMsgGuild: use TryGetValue to avoid looking member up twice

Chat.CmdMsgParty: use TryGetValue to avoid looking member up twice

Sync party via SyncVar for failsafe synchronization

New party system: PartySystem.cs manages all the parties. No more manual broadcasting; prepares for dungeon party instances

NetworkNavMeshAgent.OnDeserialize warning message fixed

NetworkNavMeshRubberbanding: sample position in OnDeserialize to avoid error message if another player runs into an instance that we don't see, but server hasn't yet destroyed it because proxchecker hasn't yet realized that the player is out of range now.

Database.CharacterLoad samples navmesh position before warping. this way we can avoid the Debug.LogError from inside NavMeshAgent and show our own log message with the proper reason instead.

Added NetowrkName to bandit and skeleton so they spawn with the correct name

set WebGL default quality to beautiful to avoid grass flickering

SkillbarEntry, EquipmentInfo, ItemMallCategory structs made partial in case someone needs to extend them

Documentation updated (Instanced Dungeons)

V1.158 [released 2019-02-13]

Grid: remove HashSet at position if empty so we don't keep them in memory forever.

NetworkProximityGridChecker.OnDestroy: remove no matter what

Mirror updated (server tickrate)

Set server tick rate to 20

Database.CharacterLoad: don't show agent reset message all the time

Set each entity prefab's stunned overlay default text to 'Stunned!' again so that stunned text is shown again.

Update Mirror to latest version (lots of fixes and improvements)

PlayerChat.CmdMsgWhisper: use TryGetValue for maximum performance

Utils: remove unused functions, improve syntax

NetworkManagerMMO: forgot to remove tick rate setting. Mirror handles that now.

Utils.IsNullOrWhiteSpace removed, NET 4.5 has string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace now.

Net 4.X syntax for getters

Upgraded to Unity 2018.3.6 to prepare for LTS, and to avoid 2018.2 memory leak bug (https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror/issues/427)

Deleted old terrain_trees file

NetworkManager.OnClientReceivePopup renamed to OnClientError

NetworkManager.ClientSendPopup renamed to ServerSendError

Remove MessageIds everywhere (latest Mirror version assigns them automatically)

CharacterSelect/Delete messages inherit from IntegerMessage to simplify code

V1.160 [released 2019-03-09]

Mirror updated to latest version (sceneID fix). Please open and resave each of scene once.

Use nameof(function) for Invoke/InvokeRepeating

NetworkManagerMMO.Start calls base.Start

NavMeshComponents updated to 2018.3 to fix warnings

V1.161 [released 2019-03-10]

UI singletons: only assign once to fix Network Zone errors where UI elements would refer the destroyed panels instead of the ones in DontDestroyOnLoad

V1.162 [released 2019-03-15]

Monster.UpdateCASTING EventSkillFinished: fix NullReferenceException if target disappeared before checking target.health

NetworkNavMeshAgent: add agent.ResetPath detection. it only worked before because agent.velocity is != 0 after resetting the path for some reason

Mirror updated to latest version

fixed sceneID mismatch if disabled scenes are in build settings

fixed sceneID mismatch if no scene is in build settings

source based weaver

V1.163 [released 2019-03-26]

Mirror updated to latest version

SyncList<struct> instead of SyncListSTRUCT

First login spawns observers immediately now

Protect against allocation attacks

NetworkClient static

NetworkProximityGridChecker: playerController != null check not needed anymore

NetworkManagerMMO.OnServerAddPlayer: null check message.value bytes

UILogin: disabled host, dedicated buttons if webgl because webgl can't start a server

PlayerChat: local chat uses [ClientRpc] instead of sending a [TargetRpc] to each observer manually

[TargetRPC] NetworkConnection parameter removed everywhere because it's optional now

Grid renamed to Grid2D to avoid Unity 'Grid class already exists' warning

NavmeshPathGizmo renamed to NavMeshPathGizmo

Fixed NavMeshPathGizmo NullReferenceExeption after rebuilding scripts sometimes

Find the cleaver quest tooltip fixed

Change enum types to byte to minimize bandwidth

Fix MissingReferenceException when clicking PartyHUD icon of a member that moved out of proximity range

Entity.DealDamageAt: don't allow a short stun to overwrite a long stun

V1.164 [released 2019-03-28]

Player.BalanceExpReward: balance for 20 levels up/down, instead of 10. this way a level 11 player gets a small amount of exp from a level 1 monster. less confusing this way.

Monster IDLE: EventSkillRequest doesn't clear target if skill is on cooldown/if monster is on low mana. this way the monster waits until it can cast. Fixes a bug where a monster would go back to random movement if the skill was on cooldown while trying to fight.

Skill.IsOnCooldown() added

Skill.IsReady checks cooldown AND casttime. this way skillbar skills are disabled while casting, avoids button smashing sending lots of packets to the server too.

Monster.startPosition is now set in Start instead of Awake, because that's what Start is for. Fixes a bug where runtime spawned monsters weren't respawning properly.

UI: scroll view sensitivity increased from 1 to 10 everywhere for a better scrolling speed

Player.SelectionHandling: if double clicked an entity that we can't attack/loot/talk, then just move there. Fixes a strange user experience where if the user stands in a safe zone and double clicks a monster, nothing would happen. Instead it will move there now.)

Player.SelectionHandling simplified 'else walk' cases

UICrafting WindowAddon panel: removed redundant icon

UI Player Trading: reduced TextTitle font size from 13 to 12 so it's visible again

Fixed UI Chat activating during WASD movement because the scrollbar Navigation setting was set to Automatic, also enabling keyboard navigation. Setting it to None disables it and fixes the bug.

Player default inventory items are now configurable with amount by using ScriptableItemAndAmount type

V1.165 [released 2019-03-29]

Entity.CanAttack raycasts the NavMesh to not allow attacks through walls anymore. Very important to prevent exploits where someone might try to attack a boss monster from another room, etc.

Player.CmdNpcTeleport: clear target after teleport

MinimapMarkers are now SpriteRenderers instead of Cylinders + Mesh Renderers. Less triangles to draw, easier to use, sharper on the minimap

Player.AttributesSpendablePerLevel static variable added. Can be used to allow more than 1 attribute point per level. Allows 2 per level now.

UI Confirmation window, used in UICharacterSelection to delete characters with less risk for accidental clicks.

Database: characters.name field is created with COLLATE NOCASE so that CharacterExists is case insensitive and we can't create both 'Archer' and 'archer' characters.

NetworkManagerMMO: password salt is now configurable in the Inspector

Only players copy their name to the NameOverlay. Monsters/Npcs/Pets NameOverlay.text fields are set manually. Saves computations.

Quest.field0 renamed to progress. It's more obvious this way.

Chat: use different text prefabs for different channels. This way the color, font type, background, etc. can be different for different channels.

PlayerChat: ChatMessage class converted to struct to avoid GC

Database converted to MonoBehaviour component that is added to the NetworkManager. This allows for future abstract Database type with different implementations like MYSQL. It also allows us to customize properties in the Inspector (like Database file name) and to make use of MonoBehaviour functions like Update. MAKE SURE TO MODIFY DATABASE ADDON HOOK FUNCTIONS TO NOT BE STATIC ANYMORE WHEN UPGRADING.

Database: add index on 'account' for 'characters.account' to avoid full scans when loading characters in CharactersForAccount function

Database: character.online field is set immediately after joining the world already. Otherwise it would only be set after the next CharacterSave call, which could easily take another 5-10 minutes.

Database: accounts.created DATETIME added for statistics

Database.IsValidAccount: simplified account, password, banned check by letting SQLite handle it

Database.IsValidAccount renamed to TryLogin, which also sets a new accounts.lastlogin field

Database: characters.online is now an INTEGER (0 or 1), and characters.lastsaved DATETIME added. This is more cleaner than writing the datetime as string only while online, and allows for lastsaved time checks even while offline.

V1.166 [released 2019-04-03]

Replace all TextMeshes with TextMeshPro

LevelBasedInt/Long/Float renamed to LinearInt/Long/Float

LevelBasedValues: ExponentialInt/Long/Float added

Player/Pet: max experience grows exponentially now

UI Chat: forgot to remove example message prefab from scroll view

Player guild functions: use TryGetValue for performance

Player.guildName moved into Guild.name for more simple code

Database.SaveGuild uses guild struct directly to simplify code and avoid one members.ToList() call

Documentation updated

UpdateOverlays uses proper IsGuild check with null check

Guild.Empty to work around Mirror bug https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror/issues/696

GuildSystem.cs similar to PartySystem.cs. Less magic, and guilds aren't resaved after every single broadcast anymore.

Updated Mirror to latest version to fix various bugs

NetworkProximityGridChecker: force hidden doesn't need to add own connection anymore after latest Mirror change

PartySystem.CopyTo renamed to BroadcastTo for consistency with guild system

PartySystem.CopyToMembers renamed to BroadcastChanges for consistency with guild system

PartySystem.LeaveParty: shorter code

GuildSystem.BroadcastTo for consistency with PartySystem. Makes LeaveGuild and TerminateGuild shorter too

PartySystem.BroadcastChanges saves in dict too for consistency with GuildSystem

Party.Empty to work around Mirror bug https://github.com/vis2k/Mirror/issues/696

Use out variable inline declarations

Fix guild promote/demote not syncing to clients because dirty wasn't set, because .Equals was true, because oldGuild and newGuild share same .members memory location, hence modifying it in newGuild already modified it in oldGuild, so the .Equals call later on ended up returning true.

TargetProjectileSkill.GetEquipmentWeaponIndex moved to Entity and renamed to GetEquippedWeaponIndex

ScriptableSkill.requiredWeaponCategory replaces .requiresWeapon. Allows for weapon type specific skills, and skills that work with all weapon types. Make sure to change all archer skills requiredWeaponCategory to "WeaponBow" and all warrior skills requiredWeaponCategory to "WeaponSword" when upgrading.

ScriptableItem/Skill/Quest/Recipe: check for duplicates when loading from resources. This allows us to use subfolders safely.

Moved ScriptableItems/Skills into subfolders

UIConfirmation, UIPopup singleton added

Player.InventoryOperationsAllowed() function added to keep all inventory swap/merge/split/use state checks in one place

Allow inventory operations while trading as long as not locked yet

Player.Craft: added [Server] tag

UI Crafting: show amount overlays in slots

Crafting with ingredient amounts. Make sure to reassign all recipe ingredients with their amount.

Entity.lastCombatTime added

Combat Disconnect delay prevents players from fleeing combat by disconnecting immediately. Player.allowedLogoutTime + remainingLogoutTime based on lastCombatTime added. NetworkManager only logs out the player after that time. UIShortcuts shows tooltip on clients too.

Npc.quests changed to ScriptableQuestOffer with acceptHere and completeHere flags to make 'talk to npc' quests possible. Make sure to reassign all npcs quests with both accept&complete set to true when upgrading.

Guardian Npc added, and Blocked Path quest has to be finished at the guardian now.

Loot indicator particle

NetworkProximityGridChecker: reduce Grid2D Get allocations from 8.1KB to 3.5KB by reusing empty HashSet

Entity.RpcSkillCastStarted passes Skill to avoid situations where currentSkill wasn't synced in time

V1.178 [released 2019-09-30]

Mirror updated to latest version (authenticators, allocation free sends)

NetworkManagerMMO.OnStart/StopServer: remove unnecessary base calls

NetworkAuthenticatorMMO component added to NetworkManager. takes care of all the authentication, and unauthenticated connections can't send messages (or bypass authentication) anymore; OnServerLogin addon hook renamed to OnServerConnect.

Player.OnDamageDealtToPlayer calls QuestsOnKilled for self and for all party members if a player was killed. This allows for kill-player type quests.

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: send position each syncInterval no matter what. should avoid cases where client positions get slightly out of sync.

V1.179 [released 2019-10-07]

Mirror updated to latest version (websockets build bug fixed)

ScriptableRecipe.Find function that is used everywhere instead of manually searching the dictionary

ScriptableRecipe.IngredientsNotEmpty function that avoids Linq

CmdCraft: pass recipe name so that the server doesn't have to search the whole recipe dict, which would potentially slow down the whole world

TargetHealSkill/TargetBuffSkill.CheckDistance: check distance to corrected target so that CheckDistance can be used by skillbar without calling CheckTarget and setting the target first.

PlayerBrain: CASTING state EventMoveStart doesn't return CASTING anymore. fixes a bug where EventSkillFinished would never happen while moving because EventMoveStart would always fire and not allow the code further below.

Disabled Unity hardware analytics in player settings

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: rename ValidateMove to IsValidDestination

Pet commands moved into Pet class thanks to Mirror's new authority code

Entity.CancelCastSkill function that is used by Player, Monster, Pet.

Canceling a skill cast resets cast time. Fixes a bug where if a player would cancel a cast for a 10s cast time skill after 1s, the player wouldn't be able to attempt another cast for 9 more seconds.

UIDragAndDropable: currentlyDragged made static so it can be checked by other components too

V1.182 [released 2019-12-04]

Fix Apathy compile error

V1.183 [released 2019-12-28]

fix QuestsOnLocation warning on clients

Apathy updated to latest version; also increased max ticks in the component

Mirror updated to latest version to fix a bug where DoServerDisconnect wouldn't save the player after a client disconnected. See also: https://github.com/vis2k/uMMORPG/issues/30

Player.OnDestroy tries to remove it from onlinePlayers no matter what. likely fixes https://github.com/vis2k/uMMORPG/issues/28

GuildSystem.TerminateGuild: remove from guilds dict so it doesn't grow forever.

NetworkNavMeshAgentRubberbanding: removed unused lastSentPosition, epsilon variables

Entity.Warp function that is used by all entity types instead of calling agent.Warp directly. This allows for a future bug fix and more control.

Warp functions force warp NetworkNavMeshAgent/Rubberbanding instead of trying to detect agent.Warp calls via distance checks. This now works 100% reliably and fixes a bug where short distance warps wouldn't be detected properly (see also: https://github.com/vis2k/uMMORPG/issues/26 )

Entity.ResetMovement for consistency with Entity.Warp

Player.OnDeath: previous rubberband.ResetMovement call not needed anymore because Entity.OnDeath calls abstract ResetMovement, which calls Player's ResetMovement, which calls rubberband.ResetMovement.

Entity.Navigate for consistency with Entity.Warp and .ResetPath

V1.184 [released 2020-01-08]

Utils.ClosestDistance(Entity, Entity) version added for ease of use and to prepare for animation-independent distances

Utils.ClosestPoint(Entity, Vector3) version added for ease of use and to prepare for animation-independent distances

Utils.ClosestPoint: animation independent calculations to fix a bug where attacking would sometimes be interrupted if the target's hip collider moved slightly further away due to being affected by animations

Utils.ClosestDistance: animation independent calculations to fix a bug where attacking would sometimes be interrupted if the target's hip collider moved slightly further away due to being affected by animations

Mirror updated to latest version

V1.185 [released 2020-02-07]

V1.187 [released 2020-02-21]

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.

V1.188 [released 2020-03-13]

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.

V1.189 [released 2020-03-25]

Documentation updated

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.

V1.190 [released 2020-04-24]

Mirror v11.4.1 (includes 10k monsters performance doubling)

NetworkManagerMMO: remove outdated OnServerAddPlayer hook

fix: TargetProjectileSkill works for monsters without weapons now too

fix: Pet is now spawned as owned by the player. Fixes a bug where pet commands couldn't be called.

V1.191 [released 2020-06-17]

Apathy updated to latest version. Greatly reduces allocations per connection and speeds up connects.

V1.192 [released 2020-07-08]

Upgraded to Unity 2019.4 LTS

V1.193 [released 2020-07-10]

Fixed Welcome script build error

Apathy updated to V1.12

V1.194 [released 2021-04-19]

Mirror updated to latest version

Removed Apathy Transport

Added KCP Transport to NetworkManager

Removed GridChecker from all prefabs

Hey,
yes I used Mecanim for the Animations. I really can't say if I change the price in the future, it depends on too many things.

Hi @vis2k - Congratulations on the release!

Are you planning to make a demo available, maybe hosted on noobtuts.com?

Are there any issues with loading additional scenes additively into the main uMMORPG scene, for example to stream pieces of the game world in and out?

Hey, thanks!

The Linux binaries are almost 100 MB, that's a lot. I have a few more hours today, I will see how big WebGL / WebPlayer builds are and upload them if possible.
EDIT: either the Linux Unity Editor or my Browser don't seem to like WebGL, will have to find a Windows PC first.

About the scenes (quoting from the new documentation):
How to use another Scene
First of all, we have to understand that the game server can only handle one Scene right now, so our whole game world should be in that Scene. If you want to replace the current Scene, you can either just build on top of it or duplicate it and then modify what you want to modify. Unity doesn't have a Duplicate option for Scenes, but we can open the project folder with a file manager, duplicate the scene file and then rename it.

Note: having multiple Scenes at the same time and allowing players to teleport to them makes sense too. It's very likely that UNET will get a feature like that sooner or later, which would be the best solution. Right now we can't use UNET to connect from one UNET server to another UNET server, which makes transferring players impossible without some really weird workarounds, hence why we don't want to implement that feature just yet.

Greetings

I'm no expert but I wanted to confirm that I have already added mechanim animations to the controller on the character included in the project and it works fine. I have not tried to use my own model yet but thats next on the list!

I'm sure a webplayer build would be fine for most people, and it's less frustrating to build.

Hi Vis2K!

When I first saw uMMORPG posted, I did a quick search to find any discussion online regarding your other three products:
noobchat - The ultimate Chat Solution
Navigation2D (Pathfinding for 2D Games)
ustats - Project Statistics
And there was nothing I could find about any of them. I understand that they are probably the files to accompany your tutorials and perhaps you didn't feel it necessary to promote them here but it was a bit of a red flag. Regardless, you're here now and communication about your product and many of your implementation decisions.

Some feedback from where I'm sitting.

* Demo - Looking forward to this. Purchase isn't even a consideration until this is available.

* onGUI vs. uGUI - I'm agnostic. While I lean towards staying up-to-date with the latest Unity features, I'm willing to accept your argument for using a simpler and easier to maintain GUI system.

* ScriptableObject vs. MYSQL - Having to maintain a MySQL server is a pain. I have done it multiple times in the past, but it always comes as an annoyance. You are right to believe that it will cause confusion and disillusionment with more casual developers (casual MMO developers--what an oxymoron!). But serious developers will need a more robust solution, be it MySQL, a hosted service (like Playfab or Parse) or a cloud database like Amazon DynamoDB. From what I read in the docs, it is possible to change all this by modifying DatabaseCharacters.cs so this should not be a problem.

* Firewall issues - I'm a little confused. Your system uses the Unity client as the "ultimate admin panel". I get that and I can see how that would be very empowering to have a live game where the admin can edit values on the fly and drop new entities into the world at runtime (that is possible, right?). But that means that the game must be hosted either on my home computer or a Virtual Machine running Unity in cloud instance, correct? Does uNET handle firewall issues or would I have to open my home firewall during the game? From the docs, it sounds like the latter unless I get Unity running on a cloud instance, which is also painful like setting up MySQL.

* Scene size / CCU - Is uNET just for handshaking? It is not like Photon Realtime or PUN where the game is running on remote servers, so uNET is more like the old Raknet-based Unity Networking, correct? The number of players being hosted will be limited by the bandwidth of the server. If I am using my home connection, then that means I could probably host 10-20 players. That is not an MMO. That is a modest multiplayer game and that is OK if that is the intention but that is not what you are advertising this as. And this cannot be marketed as player-hosted multiplayer game because it requires Unity to run correctly with full code access. So please help me understand what the ideal use case for this kit is. How do you see people using this as a commercial product? This is a major concern of mine.

I'm very thankful that you are working on this. These types of products are what we, the developer community, need. It looks like you have put a ton of work into it and I hope you have the disciple and dedication to see this through. Please don't mistake my tough questions as attacks on your skill or your honesty as a developer. I am sure you are more skilled than I as a programmer and when it comes to honesty, I think most asset kit developers are honest. They just get frustrated and discouraged with the difficult task of supporting customers while simultaneously developing the code and working a paying job and dealing with family and dealing with money issues and etc. It can be overwhelming and I am sympathetic to that.

[Note: Roadmap in the first post now shows features of future versions.]

About the Demo: I got my hands on a Windows Laptop, might happen today already.

About MYSQL: I totally agree with you here, I want to avoid it where possible, too. I am aware that people would like to see another database system, and I will do some research to find the easiest solution here.

About the host: you'd need any kind of virtual(if not too slow) or dedicated server that runs Linux Mint or Ubuntu and then install the Editor. That is only because of the current database solution though, in the future we might be able to just create a headless build and then start it on a server.

About the amount of people: again, I think the optimal solution would be a headless build (means without any graphics) that runs on a really fast dedicated Linux Server. Unity is also somewhat concurrent, so a decent CPU should get you quite a few players. UNET doesn't have any feature to send around players between different server instances yet, so the whole world would have to run on one server. If you take a look at the private server scene from many MMORPGs, you will see that most of them also run their game on just one (fast) server - I think that's good enough for a Indie MMORPG anyway.

Don't worry, I am open to any feedback. I want to make a real MMO from this as much as you guys do.

Cheers

I have some questions:
Does it have UMA support for character creation?
Does it support area of interest?
How about lag compensation? What does it use?
Any chance it will use uGUI instead?

I follow your project.

I think, you need to read these rules for beginning:

https://mmotidbits.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/3_full_view.jpg

For benchmarking, minimum servers requirement should be : http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r730xd/pd

Don't forget network and data size over network, be careful with B (bytes) and b(bits).
1 Byte = 1 octet = 8 bits

That's one powerful server!

I just created a WebGL and a WebPlayer build, sadly both of them are crashing as soon as any UNET Operation happens. So I'll have to track it down, report it and wait for a fix before a web demo, sorry guys.

Small post to keep everyone up to date:
V1.2 is pretty much finished, so it will be submitted to the store after V1.1 was accepted. The changes for V1.2 can be seen in the first post!

Thanks to everyone who found and reported a bug either on the forum or via email.

Next: publish the WebGL build and then start with V1.3 development afterwards...

EDIT: A WebGL Demo can now be found in the first post!

Hey,
the plan is to add another monster model to the game, so that there are two different types of monsters.

About the Minimap: I am actually not too concerned about the performance yet, it's client sided anyway.

hello,

I read from your website for Npc.cs The Npc class is rather simple. It contains state Update functions that do nothing at the moment, because Npcs are supposed to stand around all day.

Is in your plan to add wander function ?

I can do that if a few more people request it. This is easy though, you can open the Monster.cs class and see how they wander around and then perhaps let the NPC run around between two Transforms.

Status Update: I just finished the Headless Mode Detection, so V1.2 will automatically start a dedicated server if in headless mode. This saves lots of computations and memory. All the Unity bugs that affect the Project are now also listed in the first post.

Thanks for answering my questions. So you see this as indie MMO running on virtual / dedicated servers. I agree that with a headless mode, you could squeeze much more performance out of it by giving up the Unity admin panel. But to get more than a couple of dozen CCU, you're going to need an area of interest system as daeuk suggested above. Otherwise the combined traffic of other players and AI monsters will overwhelm the bandwidth. Thankfully, that should be fairly easy to design.

If you do decided to take the data persistence route, I would suggest taking a look at Playfab. They have announced free service with unlimited user accounts and have an integrated trading system.

I just got a chance to try the demo. Presently there is no way to test multiple accounts because there is no way to create an account. Are you planning to offer that feature in the demo? There also didn't seem to be anyway to drop things into the world. That is an important feature for basic in-world trading. Will that be possible?

Overall, looks like a good start. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.

Hey,
can you go more into detail about the area of interest part, or do you have any links on that?

PlayFab looks interesting, I will take a closer look at that.

Headless mode support was finished today, it has far less CPU and RAM requirements.

You can easily test it with multiple accounts by just logging in with any account name - they are all valid as long as they aren't logged in yet.

Not being able to drag something into the world is a design choice. There are generally two options: either have monsters / players drop items into the 3D world (which requires 3D models, Raycasting and Instantiation) or show things in a GUI, like WoW does it for monster looting. I personally prefer the latter option, because it's faster (the less stuff in the Hierarchy, the better) and easier (no need to design more 3D models) for indie games.

Hi,

Thanks you.

With my question, I wanted to evaluate the work needed to improve the gaming experience. And it will be open.

I maintain that offers a special price for the launch before adding too many updates is a good idea.

I'm keeping an eye on this, me too.

Hi, vis2k.
I have the warning of yellow.
What is this warning ?

ClientScene::InternalAddPlayer: playerControllerId higher than expected: 0
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkServer:AddPlayerForConnection(NetworkConnection, GameObject, Int16)
NetworkManagerCustom:OnServerCharacterSelect(NetworkMessage) (at Assets/uMMORPG/Scripts/NetworkManagerCustom.cs:163)
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkClient:Send(Int16, MessageBase)
CharacterSelection:OnGUI() (at Assets/uMMORPG/Scripts/CharacterSelection.cs:50)

and I have another question.
I want to sell two swords at once.
However, I can not sell those.
What should I do ?

Hey,
that warning is shown because I have overwritten some functions in the NetworkManager so that the player is added manually after a successful login. The warning has no impact on the game at all and I don't know about any way to avoid it or why the playerControllerId is higher than expected, so we will have to live with it until I know more about it.

To sell an item, you can talk to the NPC and then drag the item into the sell slot and press the Sell! button. The sell amount is limit to the stack size of the item. So if you have 50 potions all in one inventory slot, then you can sell between 1 and 50 potions at once. But since swords don't stack, the maximum sell amount is always 1.

Hope that helps, Cheers

Update: Str/Int character Attributes preview for V1.3 can be seen in the attachment.

it happens when the monster doesn't drop any items. Looks kinda weird, I'll hide it completely in the next version if the monster didn't drop anything.

Note that saving only works when running the server from the Editor (which may or may not be a Unity bug).

If the server is being run headless, will it save as it should?

It's not planned right now, but it shouldn't be very hard because you can just use any of the first person camera Scripts on the internet.

Not yet, but in Version 1.3 it will because I changed the database system to XML yesterday. I will submit V1.3 to the asset store as soon as V1.2 was accepted.

Hey,
here is what I just added to the first post, I hope it answers your question:

Why XML for the Player Database? Because it's the simplest solution right now and people shouldn't have to setup a MYSQL database in order to use uMMORPG. C#'s XML support also allows us to write just about any class to disk without modifying it or manually serializing it, which saves us lots of code (having less code is important for a MMO). XML is also platform independent and requires no additional DLL files (unlike MYSQL and SQLITE). XML content is also easily readable with any text editor and for any developer skill level. XML is simple, not many things can go wrong. XML can be backed up easily. XML also supports Queries and Updates to data sets by using the XQUERY language. Other popular online games do just fine without MYSQL as well (like Minecraft). That being said, the database basically consists of 3 functions that can easily be modified to use any other database system.

Ok, in the Editor or in the Build? And how exactly can I reproduce it? How do you make the monster run away from the player? Or do you just double click a monster far away and then the player runs towards it without the animation?
Also did you change the animation code in any way?

Area of Interest is like zoning, dividing up an MMO world into areas and only sending clients the relevant updates. Since uMMORPG only supports a single scene, it is vital to limit the update traffic. I found a lot of PDFs on the subject online but here are some overviews:

I'm still having trouble testing your demo with multiple accounts. To test it I:

1) Create a Name and Pass
2) Click Login, wait as it connects, then nothing happens
3) Click Sever & Play
4) Create a character and select them
5) Arrive in the world alone
6) Repeat steps 1-4 with another client. Also arrive in the world alone.

What am I doing wrong?

On the subject of in-world items I understand your reasoning. On the spectrum of Theme Park (WoW) vs. Sandbox (Minecraft) you are leaning towards the former. Giving players the ability to manipulate the environment can break down quickly the larger the server is. However, if your only concern is item content creation there are two alternatives:

Icon extrusion - In Minecraft, items dropped in the world use their 2D GUI icon. The Icons use a default shader that extrudes them giving them the illusion of depth. They then float and rotate in the air until picked up by the nearest bystander.

Generic Bag - In Bioware's Neverwinter Nights and many ARPGs, all items can be dropped in the world but are represented with a generic bag model. Placing a cursor over the bag displays what it is, but custom models are not needed. Interested parties click on the bag to pick up the item.

If you decide against both of these, I would implore you to have a player-to-player trading system. Not necessarily a full auction house (although that would nice), but at least two adjacent players should be able to trade items with each other. To not have that would severely limit any point of having multiplayer. OK, rant off.

Hey,
about the area of interest: we get that for free because UNET has observers + NetworkProximityCheckers, so players only get updates from other NetworkIdentities within a certain range. That's really cool actually, one of the reasons why I love UNET so much.

About the WebGL demo: in Windows/Mac/Linux builds you would select Server & Play with "admin" in one instance, hence start the server and play on it. Then you would just click "Login" with something like "admin2" in order to connect to the server, which then has two players on it. I just tested it in WebGL and I am really not sure if you are actually supposed to be able to connect to a server running in WebGL from another WebGL instance. There might be some sandboxing going on, I will have to read up on that or find out if that's actually supposed to work with UNET. It doesn't give any errors as it seems, it just doesn't find the other server (which works fine if you use 2 Windows/Mac/Linux builds though).

About the Items: thanks for the info, both seem rather easy to do. I am still hesitant to implement those because of the performance overhead of Instantiating items for hundreds of dying monsters. Although gameplay wise I can see myself liking it more. Will see if there if there is some CPU power left when everything is done!

Player to player trading is sure necessary, you are right. I added this to the roadmap in the first post.

Small Progress Info: I finished all features from V1.3 today, it will be submitted to the store as soon as V1.2 was accepted.

however, it has two errors.
What should I do ?

Hey,
did you change anything that may have caused this error? I usually get those if I have LOTS of data in the game, for example at the top post I listed a UNET bug where this error occurs if there are too many monsters, because UNET tries to send them all at once in one package. Which still should work if you use the "Reliable Fragmented" channel, but it doesn't for some reason.

Can you try to:
- remove all monsters from the Scene and see if it still happens
- remove all NPCs from the Scene and see if it still happens

We need to gather as much information as possible about this bug so that we can report it to Unity and get it fixed fast (or learn what we have to change to avoid it).

Greetings

Ok. Did you try to remove monsters and NPCs from the Scene? Also: which Unity version do you use? Did you try the latest one? Maybe even the latest patch release?

Hey I was curious because I don't see anything about it here, do you have any plans for a levelling/skill system of some kind?

Hey,
Levels and Skills are implemented already. New skills can be learned if the player has the required level and enough skill experience points.

Progress Info: V1.3 was submitted to the Asset Store, should be released soon!

I didn't try to remove monsters and NPCs from the Scene.
I use Unity version 5.3.0f4.

Okay, could you try to remove them from the Scene and see what happens? Also Unity 5.3.1 might be worth a try.

I updated the Unity version.(5.3.1f1)
and The uMMORPG has this errors.
It is 5.3.1p2 of Unity version when it took a screen shot of the third piece(
zSS(160113-043142-99).jpg)
.

In uMMORPG1.1, uMMORPG did not have such a problem.
uMMORPG1.1 worked in my VPS.
I feel disappointed.

Hey,
thanks for the Screenshots. The first one with the Invalid AABB is a Unity error. I used to get that only in the Animator in 5.3.0 but in 5.3.1 I also get it on start. It doesn't matter though, everything still works fine after the error and I am sure they will fix it soon.

The NetworkReader ReadBytes out of range and ReadString too long errors are UNET bugs, I listed them in the first post. You can see that I never actually use ReadBytes in my code, and that no String is 42029 characters long (which would be crazy). The 'can't find sync target' happens because of the previous UNET bug.

I asked to remove the monsters and the npcs from the game so that we can track that error down and report it to Unity as fast as possible. Do you have Network Simulation enabled or disabled? Also does this error only happen on your VPS and not in the Editor when you try it on your computer? Also does it happen over the local network? V1.3 was just released on the store, please try that version too.

Update: V1.3 is now in the Asset Store! Changes can be seen in the first post.
