Since people were asking about this in my help topic, I decided to post my progress here.
I am making a mirage friendly client in gamemaker. It is a complete rebuild of the client, but the server will not know the difference.
So far I can:
Make a new account
Log in
Receive the characters
Make a new character
Log in
receive chat messages
send chat messages
receive maps from the server
drawing maps
The advantages of gamemaker? Really really really really fast programming. If you thought vb6 was RAD...
Direct X 8
MP3 sounds, midi sounds, any sounds
yoyogames instant play
No need to have you players run libary files
Easier to program in (you can use the libaries if you have trouble)
I know it well
Active community
Much more
I am going to go take a shower, but throughout the night I will post my progress.
@Robin, you can post your concerns here or whatever, instead of filling up my help thread.
Anyway, it is boring working alone, so if you would like to help post in my thread in the help section.
