Real Time Multiplayer?

by Amber Clark · in Torque Game Builder · 03/05/2008 (12:18 pm) · 2 replies

Does TGB have support for real time multiplayer games? Such as a 2D MMO Type thing (not exactly an MMO, but the multiplayer gameplay equivalent to it)?

Thanks <3

You'll have to make changes to the engine code to have it support that kind of infrastructure. Specifically, ODBC connections for databases (which is not that hard- I've done it in less than 15 minutes), and netcode (I've heard of people successfully using RakNet with TGB, but since I'm using it for a testbed, I haven't touched the netcode).

So the answer is yes- if you have the ability to make it do that. I suggest you do some searching on the forums on the issue, and you should find more information to help you out.

You could easily just use the TGB as the rendering, audio, and input piece of it and integrate more robust code underneath.
