This is a quick little program I whipped up to solve pretty much all of the problems you may encounter when building TGE 1.5 under Linux.

GCC is a great compiler, but it's kind of annoying to see it complain about missing newlines at the end of files. This is a quick fix for that.

I made a promise a long time ago when I started the http://www.mydreamrpg.com, that any enhancements to the engine we made that could "stand-alone" would be released as free resources. This is me keeping that promise to the community. I had a need to extend the existing guiHealthBarHUD by allowing it to display health on any player and yet not break existing installs.

After much arguing with my compiler and many hours spent trying and failing I finally got TLK 1.4 to compile under Linux! Here is a patch that makes it work! Of course by the time this resource is approved it will probably no longer be an issue, but hey I dun somethin useful so i figured I'ld share :)

A long time ago I wrote a tutorial that was meant to show how to get SQLite to link with TGE. This updates that tutorial.

In stock TGE 1.4 if you create a guiTextEditCtrl and set it's type to Password, your entire computer will hard freeze. The community was able to solve this issue a long time ago with a series of small fixes in a thread, that eventually made its way into my MMORPG Tutorial Series. However the source files for MMORPG Tutorials (just the source files, the tutorials themselves are still fine) are lost now since the move, so I have here a corrected guiTextEditCtrl.cc which fixes all known bugs in that file. If you are a member over at http://www.mydreamrpg.com/ this issue is already fixed in the MMOKit patch.

On a lark I decided for fun I would see if I could get the GuiShapeNameHud to display damage values as well as names... Well I took the relevant bits from GuiCrossHairHud and merged them in. It works!

Let me start by saying this will be the last of the MMORPG tutorial series to be published as an individual article. I know I had promised a #10 on religion, but have come to the conclusion that religion in game is pretty specific to my own game, and probably too detailed for this series. I am nearly complete with the Advanced MMORPG tutorial series (I will post this as a single large .pdf for everyone to enjoy), that will go into much greater depth and include alot of specifics that are missing from the beggining series. This tutorial is written more in the style of Advanced it gets quite detailed about why things are the way they are, it does feature enough code to get you started, but the real difference is in the depth of my explainations for each part of the system. My real hope here is that the GG community will take my examples and build upon them, freely sharing the knowledge gained in the process, with others.

This started out to be a really simplified example of how to create multiple playable character races within our MMORPG, but I developed a really bad case of featuritis when the Custom Shape Mod was introduced, and that kinda complicated things. Anyways what I settled for with this tutorial is more of a happy medium.

This is a continuation of the Dream MMORPG tutorial, this part covers targeting and implements a basic targeting GUI.

I am currently writing a Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Game and since the actual resources to help are a little skimpy on how to start, I figured I should show what I have accomplished so others can build from it.

At this stage we really need to focus on the MM (Massively Mulitplayer) in MMORPG and we start by creating a simple login system. You need to at least complete one of the SQLite tutorials before attempting this, if your in a windows environment just complete it as normal, if you are in a Linux environment you will need to complete my SQLite integration for Linux tut.

In Dream, I decided to make a tradeskill system that is entirely item dependant, to do that I first had to implement weapons which were of a melee type.

I got tired of chasing Kork around Stronghold and trying to shoot him, so I decided to work a little magic and turn him into a Fish!

I didn't like the current server side melee tutorials so I redid it with MMORPGs in mind.

I wanted to have at least one Direct Damage or DD magic spell ready to go before we start working on the Massively Multiplayer issues of our MMORPG.
