Spiking the Inventory System It is quite refreshing working on something other than netcode. This post is going to go into a bit of detail on how I plan on laying out the UE side of the inventory system. The flecs inventory sy…

Moving on from netcode it's time to build systems, first up the #UE side of inventory and equipping weapons: wirepair.org/2025/05/25/s... #MMORPG

More netcode fun 5 months, 5 months I’ve been working on fixing my netcode. I finally understand what you have to do to get a decent deterministic simulation between clients and servers. In my defense on why …

Finished my netcode, for realsies this time. Supports up to 200ms latency and 20-40% packet loss.

Srsly done now: wirepair.org/2025/05/11/m...

Client Desyncs, Mostly Solved I am cautiously optimistic that my client desyncs are (mostly) solved. Boy has it been a wild ride. I started this endeavor 3 months ago as I first noticed my client was slowly unable to hit anothe…

Well, I think I've finally solved the majority of my netcode issues with my #MMORPG, it's been a _long_ three months, I'm honestly exhausted:

Small Progress, Big Frustrations I have been working on client rollback physics for ~ checks notes ~ THREE months now. I have never worked on the same problem for this long. I finally made a semi-small breakthrough this weekend, o…

Slightly embarrassed I've been working on this for so long, but I made a little bit of progress on rollback netcode physics for my #MMORPG. Just when I thought I was done... I ran into another problem.

Groking epoll Well, things aren’t going as planned, while I’ve implemented about 90% of the rollback code, I’m finding that the servers and clients are getting desync’d way more than they…

Sometimes it's good to take a step back and make sure you _truely_ understand some concepts, for me that was my netcode and epoll for use in my #MMORPG:

Building a Debugger Master the inner workings of your x64 Linux system and expand your OS expertise by writing your very own debugger using C++.

I just got the final PDF of my book on how debuggers work! Looking forward to finding a typo on page 3 and renaming it _FINAL_2.pdf.

Netcode, Physics and Lag Compensation Woes As I’ve been continuing my attack animations and combat system, I started to notice sometimes my hits weren’t registering. Up until now I’ve done no client side correction of serv…

Been a month, so time for a new #MMORPG post. This one is a bit annoying as it stumped me for a few weeks and made me break my build trying to debug it properly. But I'm back, updated dependencies, and ready to implement a necessary fix:

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
