[erkro1]

Yes  :icon_crap:

[westin444]

[erkro1]

[westin444]

[erkro1]

Ok, here it is :
Hope this is good…

[westin444]

what is the name of the label containing "add friend"

[erkro1]

lblFriendAdd

[westin444]

if you double-click on it do you see this?
```
Private Sub lblFriendAdd_Click()
Dim n As Long
Dim strinput As String
        strinput = InputBox("Friend's Name : ", "Add Friend")
        If StrPtr(strinput) = 0 Or strinput = vbNullString Then Exit Sub

            Call SendAddFriend(Trim$(strinput))
End Sub
```

[erkro1]

yes

[westin444]

what happens when you click on the addfriend label what happens?

[erkro1]

I see the window "Add friend", but when I typ in an exsist username and I press Ok, nothing happens.

Okay it works now thanks! But here is the problem now. As its shown in  raven picture you send a PM doing this:  !username waddupman! but when you type that into the frmmaingame mytxtchat box it decides that it doesnt want to submit it into the game.

So why could this be doing this?

nice tutorial you missed quite alot out. Fortunatly i fixed that for myself it would be more awsome though if your friends were online their name colour on the list goes green.

Other then that good source edit.

Also checking if the player exists at all(could be done by making sure the player is online) and you could do something for player to request each other to be friends(like trades and partying, then each player appears on the others list).

> I've repeated this tutorial to it's exact words at least 5 times + and every outcome seems to have an error. It needs to be a bit more user friendly because ive done everything right then some of the code snipplets dont belong in certain areas then you get it setup and it doesnt want to work or it gives you a Mismatch runtime error.

I forgot you could write better tutorials and code… wait nevermind, you **can't**.
I make things plenty user-friendly, I tell you where to go, what to find and what to put, I even put pictures of the IDE, wtf more do you require. Code is not user-friendly, if you're not comfortable with it then stop reading tutorials.

To everyone else, sorry about the missing parts. I was awake for 30+ hours when I wrote this so I did forget to include a few things. I have the complete working code, which also includes some small error checking (such as if the player exists).
Reason I haven't been able to reply and fix up the code for the past few days is I was out-of-country, back now but exhausted & jet-lagged so I'll update soonish :)

**Giant thanks to 314piwm aswell, for helping all you kids.**

hey np ;)

[Coolguy6318]

I click add friend and when i click ok the friends list is still blank?

[westin444]

see if it wrote to the file server side.

[Coolguy6318]

Yes its on server file just not in game

[Coolguy6318]

*Bump*

[erkro1]

It works, but how you delete friends?
And can someone make an check if player exists?

[Aramyth]

It would be nice if the actually parts and bits were updated in the first post. Because many complain about this tut not working (Because they are too lazy to read the whole thread).

Aramyth.

er, nvm. All fixed, how come it adds any name? and does it tell wether its on or offline? also, my inventory button opens the list, how do I change that?
