[QUOTE="Luke, post: 229831, member: 602"] [b]Networking availablity[/b] It's been a long time since I've done anything with the networking, or even looked at it. I just checked, and the file that demonstrates it (RPMonline.htm - which must be viewed in internet explorer), does work, after a fashion. You're welcome to play with it, but I warn you that it's not very useful. When I compare the networking to the current friendliness and stability of RPM, my advice can only be that I recommend you stay away from it, unless you're keen enough to live with the frustrations. It currently doesn't have much more than an ability to do basic chat, and query the RPM server about creatures and their stats. One thing floating around in my head lately, is a desire to implement a "Player Map" (with fog of war etc), which would really open up the networking capabilities of RPM. You're not serious about networking until you provide some workable map presentation. Looking at the PreBeta results, responses for use of RPM were fairly equally divided amonst 4 categories: - Those that only wanted RPM to prepare printouts for the table. - Those that initially believed they would never use a computer at the table, but are rethinking their attitude after seeing the PreBeta. - Those that use the in-game encounter abilities of RPM, but want to stay with their table figures, rather than use RPM's BattleMap. - Those that have switched on to the full RPM BattleMap capabilities, and want to use all the features. So, even for "single room" play, I'm getting requests to network to a player machine, and show the BattleMap, amonst other things. Once this is working, it pretty much works for full internet networking as well. It's now high on my "list of many things". Regards, [/QUOTE]
