On the site (great site by the way), it is stated that the GSTNet plugin works with A6.xx. That might suggest that the plugin works with all versions of A6, but from experience with Conitec SDK changes, I assume it does not.

The issue with Win98 compatibility probably isn't related to the GSTNet plugin directly. It seems all engine versions after A6.40.5 may be incompatible with Win98 Systems.
No Win98 for 6.60, WHY? Thread

you are right, GSTNet is based on sdk for A6.50 and up.
i'll change this on the plugins info page. the manual is clear on this point.

@Damocles

You think there is any open source portion of this crude shooter? I mean I would hate to just steal your resources and put them into my own level to get an online shooter. But maybe just even if you can describe a way (if you would like) where we can make our own personal game levels with this?

Thanks!

you can use the scripts if you wish

Thanks. How do I do this? In the exactly same folder I created a simple level and applied the script to the level (xspire_online.WDL). Opening up the WED file next time I get 3 WDL errors

"Invalid Name: function_predefinitions.wdl"
"Invalid Name: client_server_communication.wdl"
"Invalid Name: client_server_weapon.wdl"

When I run the level, it opens the the main menu correctly. When I select to be the server I get these DLL errors:

"GSTNet_ServerInit not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_ServerPoll not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_Events not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_SendArray not found in DLL"

Then when I choose to be the client instead of the server from the Main Menu I get these DLL errors:

"GSTNet_ClientInit not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_ClientID not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_ClientPoll not found in DLL"
"GSTNet_Events not found in DLL"

Maybe my setup is wrong or something I should have done that I simply overlooked. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!

copy the GSTNet.dll in the acknex_plugins folder of your 3DGS installation

No change.

please post your acklog.txt

Sorry to bring up a MEGA dead topic, I would message Damocles but he is over his message limit. I was wondering if anyone had xspire_online.zip still? I was going to look at it for some reference while I am building my own online solution, and I feel some of material in here could be of use.

xspire_online (c-script)
