ANet Problem - 08/27/09 21:50

I didn't see this section in the forum, so I will ask the same question I did in the gamestudio for beginners.

I downloaded the ANet example, and I'm trying to create a Multiplayer Game.
However when I compile my main.c, I get the following error:

Error in mp.c line 189

ptr_remove undeclared identifier

if(ptr_for_handle(players[i].skill[40]!=0{ptr_remove(ptr_for_handle(players[i].skill[40]))
}

Thanks

What gamestudio version do you have? Which example do you mean, the 3d chat example?

I don't think you need handles at all. A pointer can be stored directly in a skill:

you = ent_create(...);

players[myClientID].skill[40] = you;

later on:

you = players[myClientID].skill[40];
if(you) ptr_remove(you);
players[myClientID].skill[40] = 0;

I have another problem. I got the free-version of ANet and wrote a little application.
When I test it in SED it works fine.
But running the published EXE-File, I get no connection.
Can you please help me?

Make sure that the anet.dll and the key file are in the directory of the exe file. They are not added standard by the publish function.
Also ensure that no firewall is blocking.

Thank you, but when I copy ANet.dll in the same folder and execute the EXE-File,
it closes itself immidiately after starting.
I have no key.dll, because its only the Demo.
The simple 3D chat example is working.

Don't understand it!

Then you have done something wrong. Try to run the script in SED again. If it is working, do a publish and copy the anet.dll into the folder that was created through the publish function.

When I copy the DLL in the folder and start the game,
I see a black window for less than a second and the game shuts down with an error-sound.
I made a small video of the problem:

Thank you.

A wild guess, but could it bee that a splash image which should be loaded on entry is missing ?

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 07:35

This might be the problem.

I'll test it out. Thanks!

Start the .exe with the -diag commandline. I think if files are missing it will be written into the acklog.txt.

No, when I load a level, made a wait(). At the following enet_init() the application ends as ever before.

Do I have to set something before enet_init()?

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 10:41

Try to make an application that only does the following:

Code:

function main()
{
wait(1);
enet_init();
error("It's working");
}

Run the code in SED. If an error message with "It's working" appears, publish and add anet.dll and then try to run the .exe. Then tell me the result.

If it's not working also post the acklog.txt please.

In the logfile the program aborts after showing the ANet-Screen(in exe-file; in SED its working!).

Here the acklog.txt:

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 10:52

Try that:

Quote:

var testvar;

function main()
{
wait(1);
enet_send_var(_str("testvar"),BROADCAST);
}

ANet should give an error like that: "ANet-DLL: Error in enet_send_var! Bad ClientID!".
Tell me if this error is also shown when you run the .exe. (Please post the acklog.txt again)

I also need to know your GS Version and Edition and the ANet Version you are using.

I'm usingA7.06 Commercial and ANet Demo 1.2.4.3.
Running your code in SED I get "ANet-DLL: Error in enet_send_var! No connection established.", as exe there is no error.

Do you think it might be because of my Windows 7? I'll test it on XP on VirtualBox.

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 11:06

This is the acklog.txt when you started in SED. Post the one that was created when running the .exe.

Anyway you should update your Gamestudio version to A7.80 (you get this free update on the gamestudio downloadside).

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 11:08

Yes but it seems like gamestudio can't load the plugin correctly because it's not possible to call any function of the plugin. The Gamestudio version you are using is very old and was never tested under Win7. Maybe the new one runs better under Windows7 and maybe also this "bug" disappears then.

I will do what you recommended to me. Thank you very much. You'll here from me, when its working.

Re: ANet Problem - 09/02/09 13:40

Thank you very much! I ever thought it would be unnecessary to update.

Now it works fine.
