  2. Outline • Introduction • Objectives • Tools Used • Software Development • Challenges • Future Development • Demonstration • Questions and Answers Session

  3. Introduction • What is MMOPRG? • Massive Multi-player Online Role-Play Game • Single-player game no longer satisfies players’ needs. • MMORPG becomes more popular. Dedicated Game Server Game Clients Internet

  4. Objectives of our project • An interactive environment is provided for different ages and genders • Good Appearance of the game can give an enjoyable environment.

  5. Tools Used • API (Application Programming Interface) • OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) • CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI System) • RakNet (Networking API) • FMOD (Audio Effects System) • TinyXML (Parsing XML)

  6. Tools Used (Cont’d) • Software • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 • AutoDesk 3D Studio Max • Adobe PhotoShop

  7. Software Development • Design • Subsystems Management • Networking • 3D Rendering • Graphical User Interface • Input • Sound • Data • GameObjects – Character Actions • Logger • Event Handler – Local player game logic handling

  8. Software Development To Server • System Architecture

  9. Software Development (cont’d) To Client

  10. Software Development (cont’d) • Implementation • Networks 1. Scope Data Structure Centre (Player’s Position) Region Neighboring Position Map

  11. Software Development (cont’d) System Menu Bar • Graphical User Interface (GUI) Status Bar Target Info Item List Player Details Equipment Spell List Chat TextBox HotKey Menu

  12. Software Development (cont’d) Texture • 3D Graphics 1. 3D modeling (landscape) Heightmap

  20. Software Development (cont’d) • Game Logics • Monster Active Attacking Not in Detection Range!!

  21. Software Development (cont’d) • Testing & Evaluation • The performance tests have been performed on different laptops and PCs with different display resolutions. • Synchronization has been tested among clients.

  22. Challenges • Performance Issue • Using shaded texture • To reduce the number of polygons used in the 3D model • Preventing from bulky packets • Monster-Response Packets are sent in the time-slot groups • The processing time can be evenly distributed

  23. Future Development • Load Balancing with parallel servers • Automatic path selection • Multiple Scenes (Indoor, day and night)
