Hello everyone, after several re-writes, bug fixes, alot of troubles with email, internet connections and the like, I proudly present to you Dreamers Advanced MMORPG Tutorials v1.0
In the tarball you will find 9 files, each one is an individual milestone and should function without breaking any of the others.
They are all Plain Text, I know I promised .pdf but I figured I better get these up right now, and fix the zip later.
For the most part you will find the tutorial to be relatively bug free, however there may still be a couple, because of murphy's law (Anything that can go wrong will).
I have had proofreaders, and feedbackers and testers reading and writing to these files for over a week, and I have to say I am very impressed with thier work. We have an excellent community here.
Here is a list of the people who were involved (If I missed you in this list post here or email me and I'll fix it)
Chip Lambert
Rod Burns
OneST8
Wayne Eversole
Mark Ligon
David Smith
Vincent Gee
Biagio Catalano
Thomas Oliver
Ari Rule
(I know there were more of you people, I just cann't think of everyones name ATM)
Just a quick note... There were alot of features that I had in an earlier version of this tutorial, but it wound up that quite a few of them had to be removed due to instability, I will try to code more stable versions in later releases of this tutorial, so please don't say "But Dreamer! You said this was going to have feature x in it!"
Instead think of this as an upgrade to the older tutorials, that I have already posted.
Also due to the amount of bloat it would have taken to include all the changed files, I have left them out, and just put the relevant changes into the text files.
Anyways, thanks everyone for your helps, it's been fun seeing if we could do this, and what do ya know we did it!
Ok if you find any bugs post them here, and I'll do what I can to help... My hope with this though is that the community as a whole, can take this and run with it, I would LOVE to see a true MMORPG based on this work.
*update*
Because this tutorial has gotten eye bleedingly long in the comments section, I have decided to recreate the tutorial as an ongoing series. You should go to MyDreamRPG.com for further support.

I know this tutorial is more or less closed, but I have a problem I can't seem to fix. It's mentioned before, the getclientlevel function. When it is called the game shutdowns. I've tried to find it with trace, but it gives me no more enlightenment on what's causing it! I have a working database, if I leave out the calls for getclientlevel and getplayerstats the game runs fine. The reason I believe the database is working is because the inventory database functions properly. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any replies!
