Forum ‹ C# ‹ Persitent World with unique Rooms

[swell]

Hi there,

we’re building a persistent world MMO.

The game world is divided into zones, similar to „Everquest“ for example. We use PlayerIO rooms for this, obviously.

Each zone in the world is unique. For example, zones could be called „Joe’s Tavern“ or „Forest Clearing“.

There could be hundreds of such rooms in the game world.

We are trying to find out what is the best way to implement this in Player.IO.

There seems to be no way to define unique rooms, other than by using RoomType. This however would lead to having hundreds of Room classes in our code, all with the same behavior. Not terribly elegant perhaps.

Any advice on this topic?

Maybe define the room zones in your room data?

[Benjaminsen]

Simply tie each unique room to a unique room id.

Very easy way to do this is to use the room id to load a configuration object from BigDB
