Browser MMO Video #18

[Jackolantern]

Just made it to the end and just to say thanks to everyone I've really enjoyed it and hopefully ill be able to expand from the base I have been given, also just wondering will there be any more videos?

Yes there will be. As of now, there is no "end", just as there is no end to a real-world MMO project. Even games 10+ years old such as Ultima and Everquest are still being tweaked and expanded.

[zolacat999]

Awesome videos, man^^ I'm going to start working on player-to-player interaction..I think I have a pretty good idea of how to do it

I havnt had a look at the tutorial scripts for ages, because whatever features are in the tuts I put straight into my game instead. I have decided to download the file, unzipped it but now I'm getting a message

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\tutorial\tutorial\connect.php on line 3
Could not connect to db

And I cannot figure out what is wrong. I can view the Login screen, and when I try to log in, it gives that message, the same as when I try to click on register.

It sounds like you have a password on your root user in your scripts but don't have it set up the same way in your database. I got that same error the other night when I loaded just my scripts to my laptop and forgot to move the MySQL files as well. Go into PHPMyAdmin and go to the Privileges tab and update to the correct password.

[hallsofvallhalla]

yep, check the connect.php and see place your wamp password in there. I left them blank.

[zolacat999]

Yea I had this problem when I downloaded the latest scripts for this video it had set the connect.php password as 'NEWPASSWORD' you just need to delete that assuming you have no password

[alexrules01]

Thanks guys! I had the same problem as zolacat

Just be sure you guys NEVER have your game on a production-ready web server without a strong password on the root MySQL user. That is asking for severe trouble. By Murphy's Law, it will always be that one place where you forgot to filter input that a malicious user attacks, thus dropping your database.
