Beginner Video Tutorials

Postby Jake-GR » 02 Jan 2012, 05:15

Here is my video series of SmartFox tutorials, geared toward Unity (and NetBeans). The list below will be updated as I add more videos, and you can subscribe to my YouTube channel to get updates.
If there is a video you would like to see in the future, please post on my YouTube channel, Unity forum (link below), or here in this thread. I am trying to keep a logical flow to the videos, so requested videos might have to wait till it fits in. I may create requested videos outside of the playlist depending on how in-depth and specific they are, in this case they would not need to fit into the "flow" of the playlist.

Latest Videos:
Unity: SmartFox (011): Login Assistant Component
Unity: SmartFox (012): Signup Assistant Component

This thread is also available here: [Unity Forum Topic]

Cool videos :)
The playlist works fine but the first link doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Cheers

I briefly watched and listened and the quality is great.
Keep it up, it's allways nice to be able to fall back to a video :)

Thanks for the comment appels!
I'm still learning as I go along, but if there are some concepts that you think would help others, please let me know (I'm starting to run out of ideas hehe)

A login extension would be helpfull, add a custom login tut.
Maybe even with a database connection.
It's not to hard, i can post some code if you need any.
A bit more advanced would be a registration system but that involves a second zone and some inventive code on the client side to make it all seamless.

hi jake i'm the one who talked to you long time ago on youtube about the whole object classes thing, i made a tutorial too but with a friend through skype teaching him lol. so far i learned by using smartfox first withouth using an extension and in oder to proces the movement for example i use object messages, then i went into extensions and i got to be able to use a database with login with account and user name and now what i'm missing is the whole being able to send classes back and forth lol. or what i believe what people call class serialization.

anyhow here is my video if you guys want to see what i have done with smartfox. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_10tLpXRfk

i was thinking long time ago to make some video tutorils but then it would be rude since someone else it's doing it lol
get to work you slacker!!!

one question for you appels would be you said for a registration system you would do a second zone? i never taught about it so far i been using one and for my friend to have accounts i had to hard type them on my database lol.

so im' guessing after querying the database making the account you would switch the zone?

@foxter888 I wouldn't see it as rude if you made tutorial videos as well. The way I see it, there can never be too many tutorials. Ive noticed that everyone goes about making tutorials differently, and people learn differently. So even if it was the same topic, some may find mine more helpful, and some may find yours helpful.

So, by all means, if you want to start your own tutorials, don't let me hold you back :)

As for class serialization, I am still a long ways away from that right now. I've only been sending ISFSObjects as a PublicMessage so far.

Yep, create a zone without login extension and an extension to add data to the database. Then disconnect the client and reconnect it to the actual game zone where he needs to login (with login extension). I created one just like that a few months back.

Extremely sorry for the long delay in videos, I got very sick and lost my voice. Number 6 in the series "Setup and Install Extension" is uploaded. The next couple videos may be about setting up extension logins and database integration, I haven't quite decided yet. They would be videos of their "recipe" counterparts in the 2X Docs. As always, if you have suggestions or requests, please feel free to post here, YouTube, or in the Unity forums.
