As is my nature, I've made some more changes to current plans. As you may know, I've been working on the scripting and script conversion for the past few weeks. I originally choose Lua because it is quite powerful and a well established scripting language. It's also fairly human readable for...

I'm going to keep this short since the last 3 times I've started typing this, it got really long for a journal entry. I have been working on so many different things it's hard to document all of them accurately, but the biggest things I've been working on is Sockets, Database, and the Script...

Do you just delete your post and make a new post every so often? I have no problem with it since this is related to Odyssey. I just notice this post pop up every once in awhile as new. Once I release the new engine, I would definitely be interested in working closely with some active members...

We are on a Linode 512MB package. It seemed sufficient for our needs and so far, that's been true. I've been researching on what to do about the main page. I would like to keep Wordpress since it greatly simplifies the actual news/blogging aspect of the site. But my ultimate goal is to have a...

Well this was rather painless. Move completed. One thing you'll likely notice is that this site is now much faster. I've not refreshed any pages yet (minus fixing broken things on odyonline.com), but it's coming. Next step is to get our staging site up and running for an intermediary between my...

Things have been very slow since the turn of the new year. Work picked up for me and I have been pretty worn out. Things have gotten better and I've started progress on things again. I've been looking at where we stand right now and decided to update a few things. Our hosting expires in 60...

Alright, let's try this. I've removed the old anti-spam question since it was way too easy and added two custom profile options, that are still fairly easy, but should prove at least a little more difficult for a bot.

Alright, this should be resolved now. The antibot question was missing from the registration page making it impossible to register. I have added it to this template and changed the question. I just created a test user and it worked fine.

I don't know anything about it, but I'll take a look. I may have an idea of what's broken. I'll post here when I figure it out.

I'm a dummy. I had tried upgrading the SQLite binary and somehow overlooked updating the reference. The project was pointing to a really old version of SQLite and not the newest one I had downloaded. Upgrading SQLite fixed my slowness issues.

Laziness will be the end of me. Since the last post, I've finished up the login stuff for the most part. There's still some tweaks and features I haven't bothered implementing (reset password for example), but those can wait. I've moved over the socket connections and have been adding in game...

Warning, this is a long post and is mostly developer commentary. If you are interested in encryption, keep reading, otherwise just skip to the second to last paragraph (paragraph before the list at the bottom). I've been working mainly on the login server side of things the past month after...

Right now, no. Well, you could start working on your own server with the current version to be ready when I release the new version. You will be able to convert over to the new format with the exception of player accounts and any items on keep tiles. The only thing I would suggest holding off on...

Sigh, our moderation permissions are running rampant again. Sorry I didn't notice the icon until just now. I really don't understand phpBB3 permissions I guess. I've reset them to the lowest security settings and it still requires approval in some subforums. Right now, Odyssey is kind of dead...

Eh, I lied. I thought this over more and it makes a lot of sense to just do it. After the last post, I got curious and started playing with it, then it was the next day 9:00pm and I had it working fairly well. Basically what this is it builds the game screens from config files. Since the GUI is...

OK, after talking it out and some thinking, I'm going to go with what I have currently. For editors, they will be split off temporarily and be separate windows. Well I say temporarily, but if it works better, then perhaps we'll stick with it. This would allow you to move the editors around so...

I'm hoping this won't affect the date I have in my head. I've got some advice from some people I respect on the UI design and have currently halted development because of this. In the interest of time, I may not go through with any major changes this time since I'm already so far along on the...

It's been a little while. I've been really busy at work and when I get home I've been jumping straight into Borderlands 2. However, the past week I've spent a lot of time working on Odyssey so here's an update of what I've been working on. I've been mainly working on backend stuff. Since this...

The classic code is already publicly out there. It's not terribly hard to find. But it'll suffer the same problems we're having. VB6 is a dead language and entirely unsupported by Microsoft. It's possible to get it to work, but debugging is near impossible on x64 machines. Virtual machines work...

Egh, I don't know what happened to the previous couple of posts, maybe I never finished it, maybe I just imagined posting it while I was sick, I don't know. But 1 month to the day of the last post here's a small update. Here are the things I've worked on or finished over the last month. -...
