Chat prog

[fugigoose]

Ok, I hate to be annoying, but I really need to know this. I looked some more at the multiserver stuff and now i'm totally comfused. Is multiserver its own program, or a plugin for director. Do others need to have it to use my program? And I do not understand this command, the example they give makes no sense:

errcode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer( "Fred", "secret", "serverName.company.com", 1626, "ExcitingGame&quot

How can a varible be an object? I just wish the program came with a simple chat prog to show you how to do it! All i wanna do is sent text from my comp to someone elses comp using director, it cant be that hard, yet here i am.

Multiuser server is a server package, you run it on a computer you want to use as a server. the unlicenced version supports 50 users (I thought it was 100 but 50 in a chat channel isn't too bad).



in your above line you are setting errcode (varialbe) to the result of gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer( "Fred", "secret", "serverName.company.com", 1626, "ExcitingGame&quot

Basically its so you can check if the message got there, you don't actually put the object into the variable.

also has some stuff (like the source code for a multiuser server chat system)

also head to

http://www.director-online.com

and do a search for chat, I found one that used the fileio xtra and one that used the multiuser server.
