Client/Server Communications

[Harris6310]

I want to know how to send data that can be different for each user from the server to the client. I don't want anybody to give me some code and tell me where to put it in. I want someone to tell me how to do it, and then I will find out how to code it myself.

It's the same as sending data normally.

[Harris6310]

I don't know how to send data normally. This is how I think it goes:

Data in user.bin => Server => Packet => Client

Is that right?

Just send a packet.

[Harris6310]

How do I do that? I have made the needed rec.

Which version of Eclipse are you using?

[Harris6310]

EO of course.

Maybe try looking through the code I've been using and go from there…  I have one simple problem with mine but you can change things to work for you...  [http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,61432.0.html](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,61432.0.html)

I am having this same problem, i cannot figure out how to send a basic packet to and from the client/server. I was able to do this with 2.7, and i just made the switch to EO, and i havent been able to figure it out.

Any Help?

Add the packet headers to the enumerations

Create a buffer instance, write the packet header, write the variables you want, send the data, clear the buffer.

Add a ByAddress call to your receiving procedure, copy & paste the procedure and re-name it, create a buffer instance, dump the packet data into the buffer then read it off variable by variable, then close it.

Ooooohh i didnt add the enumerations…

Thanks for the quick response, i would really like to use EO for a project, but i wasnt able to do any real edits because of the lack of packet sending ;)
