Hello folks.

My name is Asgarth aka Michael.
I have found this site trough googling how to make a web based mmo.

My previous experience is Client Based MMORPG like WoW and Lineage 2 of wich WoW was basicly just a server i ran, but the Lineage 2 one was java based written and i have done some good work in that.

Now for anyone not knowing Lineage 2 you can see it here: http://lineage2.com

The reason why i am interrested in a web based mmo is that i want to convert everything i learned in Lineage 2 Client based, to a Web Based enviroment with the same principles and structures.

I have began to work on it 2 years ago and have some work already done, mind you i started with an already existing mmo called dragon scourge and editted it to my needs.

So far i am busy on the functions part but as i am alone this is taking me a very long time todo.

You can see my work here: code.google.com/p/linonline/

Please dont be hard on me and tell me i am doing it all wrong as i already spend way to much time to get it where it is.

What i did not include in this code is the mysql database (Wich i lost) so i have to remake that.

But so far the basic game works with the install.php file that is there.

My project is setup in 3 sections V1 wich is basic game no addons no updates V2 is a project i did with someone who left and thus is dead and V3 wich was my own personal project, on wich i am still working... mind you working as in looking at it and weep because i am stuck :S.

Anyways this was my short introduction to tell you who i am and what i do also why i signed up to this site.

Hope we speak to each other soon again.

Sincere:
Asgarth aka Michael.

this is awesome work, good luck with it. There are plenty here that can answer questions.

I love this kinda stuff.

Welcome to the forums!

Just to get a clear understanding of your project, you are wanting to make your own version of Lineage 2 in the browser, right? Not run the existing client in the browser, correct? If you are actually making a 3D L2 browser-based client with PHP and CSS, then I obviously need to hit the PHP/CSS/JS books again, because I have no idea what I am doing! Good luck with your project and keep us posted!

i was assuming it was a java based emu

Running a real L2 client from JS?

No no and a bit.

I mean the knowledge i got from running an emu for the real L2 Client i want to convert to a full blown web based mmo.

So this means no client no emu no nothing except web based.

How to explain:
Well i think some of you have seen some of the work i did so far (With thanks to Dragon Scourge Render S7ven's work).

Yes Lineage 2 or better said L2J is java based with python jython xml sql htm.

Lineage 2 is the Official name and the official game.
L2J is the java based emu side (Made under GNU/GPU license)

My work i want todo is basicly make this all available trough a website with no client download needed.
Basicly the basics are already there, i only need to see how to convert the things like Quests, Sieges.

But surely i can find loads of help in here.

So basic steps i am setting to make this work.

1: Website basic hosting with php, mysql and java
2: Getting all the graphics converted from the Client or from any other website that have all this. (I can get the pictures from my own running emu)
3: Dunno about this part yet wich is more secure against injections (Session Based, or Multi Encryption MD5/Base64)
4: As the basics are already there, i only need to convert the things i need into the game.
5: Maybe if this can be done, get java read function into the web based engine so i do not have to convert as much

Anyways if there are any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to ask me or tell me.

That is actually what I meant by "real Lineage 2". Not actual official server client, but rather, a 3D L2 client that would look like the official L2 server client, but running in a browser. That is more what you mean, correct?

No uhm let me setup the basic structure for the game as i have atm, 3D web browser games are a bit out of my league so basicly i wanted to start with basic text/image based and graduatly expand it to more of 2D like Runescape but even 2D is out of my expertise.

Alright here it goes.

I hope this works for all of you, the website is best seen in FF rather then IE or Chrome

i got an error about weapon name too long...the help file points to the Dragon Knight help file...are you using that engine?

No problem if you are, in fact I had thoughts of heavily modifying that or another PHP engine.
