I went over my head… again >.<

i am trying to integrate the mail system from the elements on-line source, with credits of course.

and all works… well sort off >.<

it sends and recieves the packets, but doesnt create the mail in my mailbox, ofcourse i adapted it to my source, so i think i ducked it up  :afro:

```
Case "newmail"
            If Trim$(GetPlayerName(index)) <> Trim$(Parse$(1)) Then
                For i = 1 To 50
                    If GetVar("Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & ".ini", "Mail" & i, "Title") = "" Then
                        Call PutVar("Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & ".ini", "Mail" & i, "Title", Parse$(2))
                        Call PutVar("Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & ".ini", "Mail" & i, "Sender", Trim$(GetPlayerName(index)))
                        Call PutVar("Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & ".ini", "Mail" & i, "Read", "0")
                        frmMail.RichTextBox1.Text = Parse$(3)
                        frmMail.RichTextBox1.SaveFile ("Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\Mail" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & i & ".txt")
                        If IsPlaying(FindPlayer(Trim$(Parse$(1)))) = True Then
                            Call PlayerMsg(FindPlayer(Trim$(Parse$(1))), "You received a new mail from '" & GetPlayerName(index) & "', Named '" & Trim$(Parse$(2)) & "'.", YELLOW)
                        End If
                        Exit Sub
                    End If
                Next i
                Call PlayerMsg(index, "This players inbox is full!", BRIGHTRED)
            Else
                Call PlayerMsg(index, "You can not send yourself a Mail!", BRIGHTRED)
            End If
            Exit Sub

```

```
"Accounts\" & GetPlayerLogin(Trim$(Parse$(1))) & "\Mail\" & Trim$(Parse$(1)) & ".ini"
```I never designed it to save it in **"Accounts\ACCOUNTNAME(What the hell are you doing here? Getting the login from a name?)\Mail\CharName.ini"**.

Try running it like I designed it, I think you just messed the entire thing up.

[damian666]

i know you didnt design it this way, but i like it better this way.

and yes, ofcourse i am trying to get the login from the playername, that should work right?

maybe i should just use the index number instead of the name?

Damian666

[Joyce]

You need the Index ID, not the name… You can't use that function with a player name as far as I know.

[damian666]

then thats whats wrong huh >.<…

how the hell did i come up with that... XD

btw you made a very nice system mate ^^, i will make sure to credit you by name :)

Damian666

meh... ill be smart, and take your word on it...
ill revert back to your way ^^

thanx again

[Joyce]

Nah, this system is slow and crappy. Sends too much packets and whatever. It'll eat your server bandwidth… But it works better then some crappy scripted system I guess.

[damian666]

well… i think you cant have a mailsystem without sending packets anyway man.

i am sure it beats the scripted ones anyday :)

Damian666

[Joyce]

This one sends a LOT of packets, like one for every mail you have :P If I didn't do that the data would be too large to send though if you had long mails, or more then 12.

[damian666]

hmm… yes... that is much XD

maybe you should just limit the amount they can store?

or save the messages clientsided? that way you dont have to query the server for it ^^

Damian666

[Joyce]

They can only hold 50 anyway :P And store them client side? That would allow them to modify them :P And thus being able to scam people with fake reports.

[damian666]

yeah… thats true XD

and we all know they would :P

well, just thinking of ways to limit the packets, thats all ^^

Damian666

[Joyce]

I don't see why the eclipse devs didn't make a Mail System in it yet though, it's actually really simple. :rolleyes:

[damian666]

heheheh, dont ask me :D

i dont know, but it does seem its not that hard indeed XD
