Hi!

I need to be able to play >16bit WMVs in my games, and since Game Studio cannot handle those well i decided i'd create a C++ server that could display the movies and get messages from a client when to display which movie.

I'm having problems with their communication. I can get the WDL client to connect to my C++ server and the client can receive messages (strings) from the server, but server cannot receive any messages from the client.

Here's a bit of code from my C++ server.
Code:

---

STRING* sending_string;

void server_communication(STRING* str)
{
	MessageBox(0, L"Server function called!", L"Title", 0);
	str_cpy( sending_string, str->chars );
}

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPTSTR    lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
	...<some irrelevant code goes here>...

	sending_string = str_create("");
	v(on_server) = (EVENT)server_communication;
	level_load((char*)level_name.c_str());

	...<some irrelevant code goes here>...

	while( engine_frame() )
	{
		if( v(key_g) )
		{
			str_cpy( sending_string, "someStringMessage" );
			send_string( sending_string );
		}
	}

	...<some irrelevant code goes here>...
}

---

When i press the "g" key in my server, the client receives the string...

Here's a bit of code from the client that receives the string.
Code:

---

function client_communication( str )
{
	if( event_type == event_string )
	{
		str_cpy( sending_string, str );
	}
}

on_client = client_communication;

---

That part works fine. But when i send the string from client like this:
Code:

---

string sending_string;
function send_message_to_server()
{
	str_cpy( sending_string, "someMessageToServer" );
	send_string( sending_string );
}

on_h = send_message_to_server;

---

i do not receive anything on server.

I noticed that server's "on_server" function gets called only when the client connects and disconnects from the server. Also, i am sure that the client connects successfully to the server, because it receives server's messages.

What am i missing? Why doesn't the server receive the string from client?

Thanks,
