Networking Issue

[CadeX]

Code: Select all

              For m=0 To PlayersMax
                If Client(m)\ClientID<>0 And Client(m)\ClientID<>Client(i)\ClientID
                  SendNetworkString(Client(m)\ClientID,"join|||"+Str(i)+"|||90|||90|||1")
                  Delay(1)
                EndIf
              Next     
              For m=0 To PlayersMax
                If Client(m)\ClientID<>0 And Client(m)\ClientID<>Client(i)\ClientID
                  SendNetworkString(Client(i)\ClientID,"join|||"+Str(m)+"|||"+Str(Client(m)\X)+"|||"+Str(Client(m)\Y)+"|||"+Str(Client(m)\ImageID))
                  Delay(1)
                EndIf
              Next

        For s=0 To PlayersMax
          If Client(s)\ClientID<>0 And Client(s)\ClientID<>Client(i)\ClientID
            SendNetworkString(Client(s)\ClientID,"Update|||"+Str(i)+"|||"+Str(Client(i)\X)+"|||"+Str(Client(i)\Y)+"|||"+Str(Client(i)\ImageID))
          EndIf
        Next

Yet the thing is i don't know how to stop it so the client doesn't receive one message and then the other.

Code: Select all

Debug:
join|||0|||0|||0|||0update|||0|||90|||90|||1

In one message. I would prefer:
MSG1:join|||0|||0|||0|||0
MSG2:update|||0|||90|||90|||1

Please excuse the giagantic loop.

I can rewrite my engine to break up the code but i wont enjoy it.

You could have the client acknowledge the first message, and once the server receives it, it can send the update message.

of course as usual, I could be talking out of my hat...

Yeah, thanks for trying though. Trying to base mine on a MMO engine, so i'll probably have to go with my first idea, Work on a packet reader that reads up to endofpacket then goes onto the next. Thanks for trying.
