and where it is? :)

Hi Grisu, sorry about that :) It's up now. Well, most of it anyway... I'm thinking of adding fireballs to the next update, then we can have a little deathmatch }:)

Grisu (Posted 2006) [#4]

Nothing to say sorry for. I was just confused, that's all. You get A+ from me for the mushroom presentation here alone... :) Too bad I have to fight bmx bugs all over the place, so no time left to learn mp coding atm... :( I'm always up for a dm match though. ;)

I'm glad that you like the tutorial graphics, Grisu. I tried to come up with some colorful stuff to liven things up a bit. The tutorial text is complete now. Maybe you can give it a once over when your bug battles are done. If you read the tutorial and have comments on how it can be made better, or just want to let me know that you enjoyed it, I would love to hear from you!

Damn Eikon! That was a great tutorial! I am really appreciative of your hard work in detailing the whole program and all the functions! I"ll see what I can use from your great example and send you anything I do down the road!

Thanks Mario! Comments like yours are why I wrote the tutorial in the first place. It feels good to know when you help another programmer, cheers :)

Good tutorial but does BNet have a document? It feels kinda useless for me if I can't get a document on it.

Eikon (Posted 2006) [#9]

There is no official BNet documentation that I'm aware of. You have the full source to the module, and there are actually very few commands needed to do basic networking. If you study the functions in the module you should be OK. Thanks for taking a look :)

I suppose I can always make my own documentation for it :)

Top Tutorial. very well done.

@Indie: I don't know and have no way to test, but I doubt it. @Bill: Thank you

I have not looked at the code specifics but are the win32 API calls galore?

Eikon (Posted 2006) [#15]

My code doesn't, it's the socket stuff in BNet that I'm concerned about.
