I recently downloaded and installed Electroserver which seems to be working great. I went through some of the example projects and I have made my game which you can log into and chat. The only problem is that you create a user name to use for the login but what I really want is on my website someone can create an account and use it to log into the game. i was wondering if this was possible with MySQL.
Yes it is very possible with MySQL.
Does anyone have any tutorials on setting up a server with Electroserver or MySQL it would be most appreciated.
there is no “or”
You would use mysql from electro server (or any other backend solution), mysql is only a database, it can’t replace a server backend at all
Chub,
Typically you would handle this by creating an extension ( plugin ) on the server that performs the communication with your database. If you look in the manual there are a couple of examples of talking to a database. Check out the “Database with JDBC” example to get you started. JDBC is the standard API that java provides for talking to SQL databases, and MySQL provides a JDBC driver that allows you to do this.
Okay that makes things a bit clearer hopefully I should be able to start work on that soon.
