Yeah I can create entities on any client or on the server, but even if I remove them on the server and I create more than 1000, I get a crash on the client saying that there are too many global entities. This doesn´t happen when I create them on the server.

Hm, If you let your application handle 1000 Entities, there
is something wrong with your approach.
You should only handle entities, that are relevant to the gameplay and!
are not static, and cant be predicted by the client.

So controlling an NPC that can attack players is ok, controlling a "lightingbolt" model
over the net is not ok.

A lot of entities can be purely controlled by the client. Every entity that does not move, and
every entity that will not interact with the player/s (like a bird circling in the air).

Yeah I know Damocles but this small game is just for testing and playing around with the dll. As you can see two pages before, this is a painting programm with chat. The painting works through creating sprites at the mouse position...

I understand, you want to see what the dll is capable of handeling...
Always good, to check the funtionality and post probable bugs.

hi slin,

i cannot confirm that with 0.5.9. but there's still some other issue with GSTNet_ent_remove, so i have a closer look.

wurde eigentlich in einem der letzten updates das problem mit dem nachträglich server betreten behoben? also das die figuren zwar erstellt werden aber nicht mehr auf veränderungen reagieren?

funktioniert in 0.5.9

sehr gut
werde dann ungefähr ab dem 20.august mal für paar tage etwas damit machen. zur entspannung von den stressigen deadlines momentan ^^

Hi Slin,

event functions has changed, there are two new parameters

Code:

---

// set this in main();

GSTNet_Events(21,"receivechatmessage");




//------------------------------------------------------------------

// function for event: receivechatmessage

//------------------------------------------------------------------

function evFunction(vTyp, sMsg, vSender, vReceiver)

{

  if(GSTNet_Connection() == 2 || GSTNet_Connection() == 3 ) {  //I am a client

    Parse_Function(sMsg);             // parse and execute ...

  }

  if(vSender>0){GSTNet_ServerSend(vSender-1, vTyp, sMsg);} // send the message to the preceeding clientid

}




GSTNet_ClientSend(0,21,"chatmessage");

GSTNet_ClientSend(1,21,"whisperchatmessage");

---

Code:

---

	GSTNet_SendArray(0,"TempPos",0,2);			GSTNet_ClientSend(0,13,"");
