[PLUGIN] Network v0.3a update***

Not sure if this will help you out, but it looks like someone made a free replacement to the ATL files: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wtl/message/12850

Edit: Nevermind, looks like what you really want is available from this Windows Driver Kit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487428

At least, that's what I read here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/71659/how-to-add-wtl-and-atl-to-visual-studio-c-express-2008

I've a problem, when i try the example game, packets are send every tick o_o so the chat is bugged.

And do that with my game too :(
Someone know how to fix that ?

Jayjay wrote: @playerelite, that's probably the lag-packet-drop-resend cycle I've run into as well. Basically once the latency is enough that packets start dropping I think the program resends them (this extra traffic causes more to drop until all packets are constantly being resent). Are you testing within a LAN network? or over the Internet to other parts of the country/countries?

Hello Jayjay, i'm testing in lan on the same computer :)
That's strange :/

Make exe files from your project, start every exe (server, game executables) with winxp compatibility mode + as administrator.

Fixed for me the issue. I'm currently waiting for @scidave 's reply for a fix for that

edit: I have win7, winxp users(I think) don't need to do this.

For me, the example shooter when I tried it the first time, it worked great. Me and my friend both had winxp(I'm pretty sure, but not to 100%).

Later, when I made my own example(now on win7) it didn't work anymore(it was the same .exe, I didn't recompiled it). So I tried the perfect working example from scidave and look deeper in the cap to determine the error I made. But it also didn't work anymore. Me and my friend needed to run on compatibility mode. That worked to both, the old .exe and a newer recompiled .exe from scidaves example shooter.

Also, me and Wolod ran the game and he has winxp. He just started the game.exe and connected to my pc via hamachi or real ip, not sure. It worked. I'm almost sure, setting only the server to compatibilimode didn't work. At least, my game.exe needed it too.

I really hope, this plugin runs stable anyday, so I can use it for any of my projects. I would even donate if someone makes a stable network plugin with a few features to determine the players via ID etc.^^
