So I have decided to go forward on the rewrite of all of the code! Yep starting from scratch with the code base, which means at least a couple months before it’s playable again.

But this time around instead of using java DB I’m using mysql DB for the data. One of the perks of this I can take MajorMud dat’s and import them into my game. Not only does that making starting content easier since I have some base, but it also allows me to use Nightmare as my editor. So don’t have to write an editor to manage the content. Which I also have to decipher what goes where in the tables. Some of it is straight forward, but others I need to really dig in and see what these data values are truly are.

So far I have the basic net code, and a simple client that allows me to send commands and see stuff come back. I’m using the old code as a guide line for now, so it’s not a total lost. But able to make all that ugly code look better.

Till next time…
