About MMORPG Engine:
MMORPG Engine is a free, open-source engine primarily useful for online RPGs.

After having my PC break down (CPU overheat, I believe, and no, I wasn't overclocking!), I've decided to unveil an open-source application that I spent a lot of time on, but never got the recognition it deserved, IMHO.

This application is an MMORPG engine. Right now, it's at what I would consider alpha status. It implements some very basic features -- connecting to a central server, chatting (though only "globally"), and movement (with a very, very silly way of doing collision detection). Obviously, it needs a couple more things to be considered a serious MMORPG engine, namely multiple map support, battles, and a better chat system.

It is with this intention that I have open-sourced MMORPG Engine. I am hoping that by doing so, I can not only help create a free MMORPG for BeOS (and all other platforms which support Allegro and Libnet), but also raise some money to buy a BeOS compatible PC.

Due to the fact that I have no way of accessing my BeOS partition (it's been nuked, actually, since it had little important documents on it, and I can't quite... use it anymore =P), I am unable to provide a binary. However, it's quite easy to build MMORPG Engine. Simply download the BeOS Developer Tools, set up Allegro, Libnet, & Allegrogg (tell the config file to build as a static library for Linux and manually copy the library and header to the proper directories in /boot/develop), and execute the compile scripts.

If you like this software, please consider donating. Any amount is OK (of course, the more, the better :P), and all the money will go to buying a BeOS compatible PC. You can do so by going here or by going to beos.rodentindustries.com and clicking on the link.
