That is interesting, you can change the data that is transferred between the server and the players, it's not too difficult to read more data, it just depends on how much data it is and what kind of data. Sending over too much data can cause a lot of lag, and complex data has to be transformed first.
Currently, all the building blocks for moves and pokemon that base Pokemon Essentials provides is sent between players, so things like a Pokémon's gender, moveset, ability, nature, EVs, IVs, nickname, etc. and for moves it is simply their internal id and pp. All of the logic surrounding the behavior, such as battle effects are all client side. So the server does not provide any logic around it. So if both players have a new custom move, pokemon or ability it should work fine. But if one player is on a version that does not have this move it would crash (haven't tested this but logically it should).
A full changelog can be found in Chapter 6 of the documentation. But in simple terms, you can connect to another player through a server with your own lobby/room (cluster). You'll be able to walk around in the same overworld, see each other on a map or interact with each other to battle or trade. More is planned in the future (as seen on the todo list) and I am open for any feedback/ ideas for future versions.
This is fantastic! This is basically what I envisioned for multiplayer for my project similar to Pokemon Quetzal. I would love to share some more information on this project as it will driven by the community. I am always interested in meeting like-minded people who might be interested in the goal of the project. I can message you as it is still in its pre-alpha phase and maybe going into more potential ideas for the plugin. Share more info about the following if you would like:
Currently there is support for a 1v1 single battle against other players that is fully functional. However some key elements are missing that I would like to add in the future (as seen in the todo list).
I think supporting Pokémon followers would be amazing as well. As for multibattles, it can be an in-game option allowing players to choose to wait for the other player to interact with the NPC to automatically set the battle style to 2v2.
Support for following pokemon has already been added to the backlog of the todo list.
Trading is already supported in the plugin, you can interact with other players to trade with them.
Wow, is it also EBDX compatible with unofficial port? I was waiting for something amazing to migrate to v21 as soon as possible, this is inspiring me so much.
Wow...great
ruby: No such file or directory -- Server.rb (LoadError)I think with local PvP to talk with your partner your are playing with. than have a PC option to PvP online.
Being able to connect to other players on a server level (not lobby/ cluster level) can be interesting to explore sometime in the future. It'd require some rethinking of how the server structure is built right now but will definitely try taking a look at it sometime after 1.0 release, as right now I'll try to focus more on ironing out everything on a more local level. But it's written down on the backlog so expect it in the future.
It seems that you're trying to run the server from somewhere the server files aren't located. Confirm that you are trying to start the server somewhere with the server files by typing 'ls' or 'dir' and see if the 'Server.rb' file shows up. If not try navigating to the correct location with the 'cd' command.
Hello!
It is working, but everytime I connect to the server, I get instant a timed out
