rabbitkillrun2 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) i know, i know... sorry for yet another TCP help thread... It would be nice if someone could make an absolute guide (possibly simply linking to other useful posts and UDFs) that was stickied, as i can never find what i want in search (TCP related)... Anyway, my question is how to make a simple tcp p2p... the minimal code required to send data between two things, but make it able to keep sending (say something that uses input prompts and message boxes)... i have started a basic server client thing, but a little pointer in teh rigth direction (sudo-code even) to make sure i'm not going down teh wrong route would be much appreciated... thanks, and sorry again for the new thread... ps, since i never received a reply from the admin, i cannot log into my previous account... at first i thought i'd forgotten my password, but when i changed it with the password reset thing, i still could not log in... anyone know anything about that...?

If you think that you cannot write a program that could work you should be interesed first by other things. You have 1 post and you need TCP p2p. When the words fail... music speaks.

(Link).Also, you use English not TXT. Edited June 17, 2009 by JamesBrooks Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitkillrun2 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) haha, as i said, i cannot log into my main account "rabbitkillrun"... i'm not a total newb... lol thanks, i'll take a look... i've already used the help file to do what i've got so far, but i keep getting confused as to what each tcp thing does exactly, and what it returns... thanks anyway...

rabbitkillrun2 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 i know what they do, but when i'm using them i get muddled up as i haven't seen a clearcut example as to how to use them...! I forget where to put what return value as which parameter, et cetera... that then requires me to go back to the helpfile, find out, then go back to being confused again... as i said int he first post, even sudo code would have helped, as it was mainly the method that i'm not entirely sure about...

I suggest you go back to basics first. Learn how AutoIt handles return values and parameters.

LarryDalooza Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 In General... Server: Open a MAIN socket (a channel) of communication (prescribed by IP and Port) Listen on that socket Client: Connect to a socket (prescribed by IP and Port) Server: Accept connection (another socket is created here for client < > server communication) Server/Client: Send and Recv on that "socket" using some method of data acknowledgment (send back and forth "yes I recv'd your data" type messages) Server: Keep listening on the MAIN socket... others may be trying to connect Close sockets that disconnect or "sign off" Maintain an array of connected sockets to cycle through so as to keep communicating with everyone that has connected. Now... there are a million derivatives of what to do above... Lar. AutoIt has helped make me wealthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very useful...I assume that i'd use the TCPListen command in the main program loop?How do i know that they have disconnected? Would that also be something in the main loop?Similar to above i guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
