IOCP Help - William - 03-10-2008

IOCP Tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=895

All unedited MS version have a check in ServerLogic if the socket state is above 7 (state 8 and 9 is closing state and error state). And this check is done to see if the player has encountered problems:

Code:
If frmServer.Socket(i).State > 7 Then

            Call CloseSocket(i)

        End If

And I'd like to add that to my game. Same things goes for the isconnected function, but here it checks:

Code:
If frmServer.Socket(Index).State = sckConnected Then

But in IOCP, it doesn't check if a player got disconnected in the gameai loop, and the isconnected function only checks if the socket is empty or not. And I believe a socket can have something in it eventhough the client is messed up and not receiving/sending data.

Code:
If Not GameServer.Sockets(index).Socket Is Nothing Then

So the code above can't be used in the gameai loop to check for state>7.

Now I'd like to add a check like that with the state > 7 in the game loop. But how would I do that?

According to Verrigans way of programming, that would be the case. But I can't rely on him since he doesn't visist ms anymore.
