Hi All,

I was very impressed with the Ineisis source code so I decided to study it and try to understand it as much as possible. I can't say that I know all of it yet, but I am getting there.

My hope is, over the next few weeks, to publish a few "tutorials" that describe how the Ineisis source is put together and hopefully help at least one or two of you in the community.

I truly apologize if this makes anybody fall asleep instantly at their computers, but it is my first tutorial so I hope for a little slack .

Any feedback/requests are welcome.

Sweet videos, GJ!

Nice thanks!

Nice Job on the video.....

Kudos Ozmodian, videos were really helpful.

Really appreciate the tip about using LoadEditorWorld, opens up for the ability to copy objects from world a to world b in a very clever way. So far we had taken the slower road which was trying replacing the default LoadAllWorlds(), but this surely speed up everything.

Excellent tutorials and beautifully illustrated. Very informative

Lol, thanks Pixel. Clearly you are easily impressed

Posted a new video in 2 parts (see main post) describing how to manage and load in objects into Ineisis. Hope you enjoy!

Another great tutorial, thanks!

Looks good mate. I'll be sure to watch it all if I ever need to dive into the mmo / multiplayer side of Esenthel.

really great stuff keep up the great work

Added 2 more Ineisis Tutorials (in 1st post):

As always, please let me know if you have any feedback or requests.

Pretty nice tutorials you made there =)
I was about to watch the "Schedule Objects" tutorial, but youtube told me it was removed due to it's overlenght... =(

Crazy youtube with it's crazy rules. I have now given it my cell phone number (and my soul) and it seems to have let my video be posted. I am pretty sure it will also get my first born, but that is still a ways away .

Please let me know if you are not able to see it now.
