Hi all,

I was looking for an engine since a couple of days now, and i think i found the right one with esenthel.
First of all, i am very impressed with graphics. the demos we can see are really impressive.

Now my questions about my project :

I would like to make a sendbox MMO. Meaning players are able to build houses and keeps ( to begin with... ) Will this be possible in esenthel ?
About the network : Will i have to find a 3rd party network engine ?
About the combat system : i would like to make somethign new, some sort of automatic combat system ( so the combat woud look like real fights ) and the players would have to switch between stances while in the fight. Will this be possible as well ?

Thanks in advance for anyone who will take the time to answer me !

Hello and welcome to the forums,

About the network: Yes, you will have to implement a 3rd party network engine. Someone on the forums is working a tutorial on how to do this. Esenthel is going to implement basic mulitplayer as well, but only up to 16 players as of now.

The combat stances won't be a problem.. you can do nearly everything you want.

Good luck!

O waow !

This is great then !

since i don t know how to code ( or just a little ) i guess i will have to find a coder to join my project. what are the requirements in coding knowledge ?

Your coder will need to know C++ to work with Esenthel.

A requirement to get started on coding is to have visual studio (VS) 2008. It's not that compatible with the 2005 version, and I don't know about 2010.

I believe there's a whole explanation of how to set up your VS workspace in the esenthelSDK folder which you installed.

EDIT: THe explanation is on the wiki page.

OK thanks a lot Tottel !
