Logout to MainMenu

[mh1701]

ok…..  you (the reader) are about to ready my first Souce Code Tut EVER!

here it goes........

This tutoral will show you how to make your game client go from 'closing when you log off' to 'returning to the Main Menu when you log off'

STEP ONE:  Open VB and go into 'modGameLogic
STEP TWO: Find the line that says "Call GameDestroy"
                Change it to "Call GameLogout"
STEP THREE: Locate the Sub "Sub GameDestroy"
                  And the end of this sub under "End Sub" put in this.......

Sub Gamelogout()
    ' Unloads all TCP-related things.
    Call TcpDestroy

    ' Unloads all DirectX objects.
    Call DestroyDirectX

    ' Unloads the BGM in memory (soon-to-be obsolete).
    Call StopBGM

    ' Closes the VB6 application.
    'End
    ' Returns to Main Menu
    frmMirage.Hide
    Load frmMainMenu
    frmMainMenu.Show
    frmMainMenu.SetFocus
    frmSendGetData.Hide
End Sub

DONE!
I hope this helped some of ya!
Please leave any comments or edits to this code if you have any.

or, to simplify that block of code, this would also work…..

Sub Gamelogout()
    Call TcpDestroy
    Call DestroyDirectX
    Call StopBGM
    frmMirage.Hide
    Load frmMainMenu
    frmMainMenu.Show
    frmMainMenu.SetFocus
    frmSendGetData.Hide
End Sub

Nifty, I do get sick of logging out to switch characters, only to find out the program has been exited.

[damian666]

good lol but put it in code and also to work on would be nice if when you clicked logout a message box comes up with two buttons one saying "main menu" and the other saying "charecter select" other then that this is great

[the_best_flash]

Thanks for the code. It was a pain to have to restart the client to change characters. Nice work.

[Akselj]

Thanks! I never would've figured that out. Or mabye I would, but that would have taken weeks… I'm bad with VB.

Okay, you logout, but then when you are in the main menu, you click on "Quit the game"
and it doesn't quit, it just reloads…

[Kimimaru]

Yeah, I'm experiencing the same problem as Ridrik, also. It lets you do everything else but exit the game by clicking on the Quit button.

EDIT: Also, after you return to the main menu, it says that the server is offline for a few seconds, which displays the incorrect news message.

[Mr. Bob Firefarter]

That will require extra sourcing so that it doesn't apply to that button.

to switch characters you can just add this to the button
```
Call SwitchCharacter
```
```
Sub SwitchCharacter()
InGame = False
GettingMap = True
InEditor = False
InSpellEditor = False
InSpawnEditor = False
Running = False
frmMirage.Socket.Close
frmMirage.picExitOptions.Visible = False
frmMirage.Visible = False
frmChars.Visible = true
```
that s not exactly but pretty much what i did (there are some lines you don't really need in there)

~~I think I messed up somehow, so I removed the script/code, so then when im fixing up by testing the client, the log out button doesnt work, it just stays there.

Can you like, give me the original code pretty please? =P~~

I'll just rip it outta a diffrent download of stable.
