[WIP] Bully Multiplayer

[SWEGTA]

Oh hell. I might finally get to RP in Bully. 

Of course, Rebook.
I'm pretty psyched as well.

I can already see people re-enacting their fanfiction or just messing around with clique wars.

I take it you're a roleplayer.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to roleplaying. That's why I love RP.

Edit: Is anyone planning on scripting a RP server and in what code are the scripts written? If no one's planning a roleplay server, then I think it's time I get some money together and start working on that.

Me and DaBOSS are actually working on that.

I dont think it will cost anything to host a server.

Only if you port forward will it not cost you a single dime.

Something that I won't be able to do. Having my PC run 24/7 in order to host a server for over 100 people isn't something I think I could accomplish.
Hosting costs aprox. $20 and mostly comes straight out of my wallet.

Wow. This mod will be super amazing. I haven't noticed until now that P3ti is a Hungarian just like me

Someone earlier mentioned Freeroam, is it possible to implement NPCs (Peds), that are walking, doing crimes, just like in Bully? I think It would be funny 3-4 Prefects chasing 2 players at the same time

Is there any information on the server you'll be running or? Is it "RPG-styled RP" or is it hardcore RP? Does it use the same universe as Bully or just use the Bully map with a universe made up by the players? Will it be strict with an application required before being able to play or will it be a classic register-in-game, no-questions-asked server? Are you going for an English server or a multilingual server?

I dont think it will cost anything to host a server.

It'll cost around twenty dollars a month to run just a server. If you was wanting to run a community, it'd cost around thirty to fifty depending on what services you provide for the community and what hosts you go through to provide said services. I have never been satisfied with a port forwarded server, whether it was me hosting or someone else. There always tends to be just enough lag to irritate someone.

[Mick3Mouse]

Lol, what is it that costs? 

I had a very popular Minecraft server once that i hosted my self.  It was like 20+ people on it all the time 24/7. It didn't cost me more than the internet bills.
And i dont think 100 people will be playing Bully MP like Simon said. So i  don't think it i will cost anything to keep a server up more than the internet bills.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to host my Bully server once this gets released

[Reebok]

Sure, a hundred people will more than likely not be on a server at the start but if you go ahead and get a host with the right amount of slots what will it hurt? The slots will slowly fill up and all you'll have to do is order more from your provider, where as, on your port forwarded server, you'll eventually hit a limit and your players will not be happy.

[Mick3Mouse]

Yes, but it still dont going to cost any money to host a server with many slots on.  Like i said i had a minecraft server with 35 slots on.
Only thing that is going to cost is if you want a server computer.  But i dont think it's need for that.

It wont cost more than the internet bills.

ripoff lel. jokes.

[SWEGTA]

I'm aiming for a freeroaming RP-ish thing where people can engage in various of events.
I'm not sure how RPG elements would work, but it would be a cool thing to implement.

It's very unclear on what we can do, but I'm surely aiming for a RolePlaying server.

Minecraft is a very different game. In fact, it was made with Multiplayer in mind. Bully-MP is just a mod and won't be as stable as hosting a Minecraft server would be.

Like I said, I don't want to have my PC running 24/7. Especially when rendering/uploading videos or doing the podcast. It would probably be a strain on my weaksauce internet connection and also make players experience lag when I render videos or upload big files.

Also, I want to aim for 100 maximum players, regardless of how many we expect to be playing it.
Bully has a much bigger following than you think and it seems pointless to limit it to 35. 35 players on a map as big as Bullworth? Nope. 

[Reebok]

I want a strict roleplay-only game mode. Something like that of LS-RP.

@SWEG — What language are the servers going to be scripted in? Sorry if I've overlooked it in this thread already.

[Mick3Mouse]

Lua i think.
