I finally decided after much thought to show a screenie of the over all control system. I've been starting the opposite way in developing a game system by designing the backend first.
Well, in order to have a backend of servers and processes running across multiple server, you have to have a way to…

Over the past year I have designed, redesigned, and trashed mutiple backend systems simply because of the lack of planning and control. I have finally hit upon a method that will lead my project into success.....hopefully. For those of you that might remember, I have been working on a backend sys…

Writing a system that requires maximum flexability surely is very hard work, but I'm getting closer. I'm planning on having the management tools for the clusters (realms), servers (physical) and processes finished by 2/1/2006. I'll be posting a screenshot with a listing of features this weekend. …

The team (myself and another) discussed the new architecture and actually came up an even more robust modified version that would allow for a very dynamic load balancing system for the back end. But it's so good that I don't want to even detail it until we can get it completed and hopefully some s…

Well, after posting yesterday, I picked up a development book I hadn't read in a while, Massively Multiplayer Game Development 2, and noticed an excellent method of monitoring the processes and providing a great fault tolerance for keeping your processes up. While I will have to modify the base ar…

Another Wow! I posted twice within the same month.
I have decided to break the logging component up so that it will have two possible operating area: Local and Remote.
Local will be used if the component is unable to connect to the remote logging server and will provide only text file logging [txt…

Wow. It's been a while since my last post and while I have no real tangible progress (other than a lot of documentation), I know that I have made great strides in bringing my framework into the design/development stages.

Even though it just steams me, I've dropped all current code and have gone back to the design phase and will be working on the backend design more thoroughly to support robustness and configurability features.
I want the system to be used by developers and designers to come up with their ideas for a…

Well, if you've read my last post and have been waiting on pins and needles, this is my latest entry "Even Longer" (besides the huge entry I spent over 30 minutes writing that somehow vanished when I posted it).
Yes, it has been a long time since I posted last and I have finally made seom headway.

Well, it's been a long time since my last post. I went back to the design board after finding a potentially fatal flaw in my design. So I've spent the last two months proving each and every component will work together and at maximum efficency.
So up to this date. I've done the following so far.

Well, its been a while since my last post and its not because I'm being lazy (this time), but I've been out sick since 2/4 and finally made it back to work this morning.
This being sick is for the birds. I actually didn't log onto my PC for the entire time and oh biy did the Spam Monster visit my e…

Holy Smokes.
Don't you just hate scope creep, especially when it's during the development phase and in the middle of programming?
Well I'm starting to, but at least the scope creep is a good thing in this case.
While working on the server template (If you don't know what this is, read previous journal…

This weekend was spent working on the first portion of the back end for MMO Architect and boy oh boy do my knees smart.
I was able to get the database portion for logins designed and ran into problems when I posed the question to my self "Why you unassuming bas#$%d, why assume that all people using …

Well, since becoming a member, I haven't been very contributing except for bugging people for answers. Well now it's my time to try and give back to the community. I bet you are wondering how writing a journal will give back to the community.
Well here's your answer!
