you may include it in your app as long as credit is given to me in the readme Smile

the syntax to send an msg is <message> Bye! <fdsdir>

which is basically " Bye! " without the "

Dont forget the trailing slash in FDS dir Smile

Really, you have to appreciate someone with effort... it most cases.


#1: Using a form to do your dirty work is just asking for more programming then you need. "sck = CreateObject" ? would have worked better then using a form for the "ease of coding".

#2: Using winsock at all... kind of lazy if you ask me to be using a winsock CONTROL to get a random open port... there are other ways, that are one, faster, and two, most likely not going to make people go "uhhh, why is there another control in the zip file O_O"

#3: You hardcoded localhost, kinda defeats the purpose of a remote admin tool wouldn't you think? if you are at the computer, might as well just type it in the console?

#4: this sir, is just classic...

Form1.Text1 = str
cut = Form1.Text1
Form1.Text1 = ""
End Function


i almost fell out of my chair...
Mid() Instr() Instrrev() Right() and Left() should be your friend, not a text box CONTROL in a command line sub main application.

Solutions:
if Init(sPort + 1,sPass) = false then
  sPort = sPort + 1
  goto Solutions
End if


oh lookie, i found an open port

'Get_Response is supposed to go here


classic...


Now please tell me why anyone would download this hunk o trash over several already made available version that support multiple server connects, callbacks, and don't have to be sitting next to renrem.exe to work?

wasnt made for "people" to communicate with the FDS

it was made for regulators to communicate with servers, which is why everything is done in Command$

Shell "C:\FDSTalk.exe msg Hello! Bye! C:\FDS\",vbhide

because once it is sent to the FDS, you have to wait a few seconds for renrem to close, and in that time you cant send another message,

also, you have to put the message in the -r"", now although i have not tested it, so this may be 100% wrong but what if the message you was sending to the FDS had a " in it? it wouldnt get though would it? Razz

come on! give the guy a break i would use it, it sounds much better then renrem. if i call renrem i get loads of unwanted text output in err so i cant just hide it. this program doesn't hang ether.

BTW: what path do i call as in C:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\ or C:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\Server\ i tryed both and the prog crashes. and yes we want documentation for the dll.

you are 2 years too late man

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

Want the best answers? Ask the best questions!

"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
