Is Tanki Online really that amazing?

[r_Zesx0 39]

Okay, so I just didn't know how to name this topic, so, I just named it like that (derp).

 

While getting more into programming and 3D design, as well as understanding more about how servers work, Tanki Online doesn't actually seem that awesome. Just some 3D stuff (which can be developed and edited on Blender), some mechanics here and there, functions, textures and servers and done. As the game is going to move to Unity, it's probably going to be a bit of a different thing, but meanwhile, since Tank testing tools, Tank viewers and Box viewers are available to ANYONE (I have quite a lot of the new and the old versions of them), ergo, if you understand your programming, you could make a whole private server of TO from those tools within like a month or so.

 

I'm surprised that none has thought of this yet. In my opinion it is possible, but it would be sad, as it would probably corrupt tanki, if reprogramming of TTT went viral.

 

I'm feeling a bit shaky about the thought of it. What are your opinions, other tankers? By just buying a server, anyone could do this easily!

Yes, Tanki is that amazing. No questions, Bye!

 

And buying a server would like be buying a share of stock, someone could own it all, and that could be really bad. Like a dictatorship

Tanki is an amazing game :) A good game doesn't necessarily have to be hard to design, have the best graohics, etc

That's not the point, he's trying to say that everyone with a little bit of knowledge about programming can copy and steal Tanki.

People don't have an idea how much hours it takes to develop such a good game as Tanki. Like 99% of all programming and other development related stuff is behind the scenes.

i dont know if miniclip has the authority but there is a miniclip tankionline

[Promissory 569]

Seems simple, with the tank models and TTT. But if you go further on Alternativa programs, tanks animation etc, its a really complete game.

It even has other games that it does not have authority for!

@@Mr.SV.ENS So the fact that it might be easily copied makes it a worse game?

I never said that, I only explained his point since you misunderstood it.

Yup. That was the point; Tanki is easily copied because the files and a lot of the programming is already in TTT, which is given to EVERYONE for FREE. This way, with TTT, a server and some multiplayer program change, TTT can become a customized TO. Like a test server that's always open. Devs thought they are so secure, yet they weren't, with the addition of this. And don't think that everyone is too lazy to do it; someone eventually will and then the game might just go down the drain. Muhahahahahaha....

IT IS AMAZIN!!! Lol. Soz for caps.

Ok... But why would anyone want tanki to go down?

Just like rocket science right!? Build a rocket, fuel it up, light it and send it to the moon! That sounds so easy ;)

[tommybau 1,033]

well i would like to remember that any non-official server have costs, no one will spend energy and money on hardware, time on programming and such to make a free for all tanki server. it will be either too pricey or too laggy, if not both. also i think that they will get shut down in a clap of hands and sued whit a load of bad things no one wants to get sued whit.

You think it would be easy for someone else to simply program this game? The only information open to players about the coding of this game are the textures and props of hulls, turrets, and objects. Servers are expensive considering you will need over 30 large capacity servers to run a game like this. Servers also need to be programmed. Calculating location of tanks, calculating missed shots, etc. Is not easy. Beyond that, Tanki is Copyrighted.

Calculating missed shots? Not sure if that's too hard, since about half of the shots are already programmed in TTT, so missing and hitting a certain player: doesn't sound too complex. Sure it does require a lot of skill, but it would still be possible. Even just a private server.

What makes Tanki great is the amazing community and staff.

[duck100101 965]

Yes It is just good because of it is fun and no downloads and very few updates

[trombone_ftw 734]

"and very few update"

 

No...

Even if someone did do it, they would be put in jail for Copyright violation.
