Help with news - DarkX - 11-07-2007
Ok I had found this code in Elysium Debugged, and started working on my own here's the Elysium code
Code:
SERVER SIDE!!!!
modservertcp
Sub SendNewsTo(ByVal index As Long)
Dim Packet As String
Packet = "NEWS" & SEP_CHAR & ReadINI("DATA", "ServerNews", App.Path & "\data\News.ini") & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR
Call SendDataTo(index, Packet)
End Sub
joingame
Call SendNewsTo(index)
modgeneral---initserver
If Not FileExist("News.ini") Then
PutVar App.Path & "\data\News.ini", "DATA", "ServerNews", "News:*D-Bugged Elysium has been released!*If you can see this, the update worked!***"
End If
CLIENT SIDE
' :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
' :: News Recieved packet ::
' :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
If LCase(Parse(0)) = "news" Then
Call WriteINI("DATA", "News", Parse(1), (App.Path & "\News.ini"))
Exit Sub
End If
also make a txt boxRe: Help with news - Rezeyu - 11-07-2007
Al lthis does it pull test from an INI, and send it client side...
Just use the MOTD code then, and create a label or textbox and have it set it's caption/text to the news sent when the packet is recieved.

If you read that line fox, you'll understand he took the OUTLINE of elysium, and is making his OWN using that outline. So it's not elysium.

Actually Elysium's news system does pretty much the samething I'm trying to accomplish, you wright the news.ini on the server side, and when someone logs on via there copy of the client it pulls the news.ini from server side and saves it Client side. I just can't get it to pull the one from server side, I have it to where it saves both client and server side but they are never the same thing and you have to self-update the .ini client side.

Uuuusseeee the MOTD code.....
Like I said before.
And just write it to an INI when the client recieves the packet.
