Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
Right, it's been a very long time since I've looked at any code and the first issue I have come across is this.
Compile Error:
Method or Data Member not found.
This occurs when I try to compile run the client.
This issue occurs when running the below code and I've highlighted where the fault starts.
Code:
Public Sub TcpInit()
' used for parsing packets
SEP_CHAR = vbNullChar ' ChrW$(0)
END_CHAR = ChrW$(237)
' check if IP is valid
If IsIP(GAME_IP) Then
frmMirage.Socket.RemoteHost = GAME_IP
frmMirage.Socket.RemotePort = GAME_PORT
Else
MsgBox GAME_IP & " does not appear as a valid IP address!"
DestroyGame
End If
End SubThis is what Visual Basic highlights
Code:
frmMirage.Socket.RemoteHost = GAME_IPTheir problem was that the server did not have a Winsock object. Mine does, and I am also using MS4 ( well MS 3.76 ).
If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Set your GAME_IP to = "127.0.0.1"
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
It is set to "127.0.0.1", that is it's default address.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Matt - 26-02-2009
It can't find the physical socket.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
Yeah I was thinking that too.
I just tried finding the object "frmMirage.Socket" and it is a Picture Box, that's not right.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Rian - 26-02-2009
Then delete it, add another Winsock Control to frmMirage, and name it Socket.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
Screw it, I fixed it. Well not me, but VB did.
All I had to do was add the Winsock component to the Tool bar. Simple as that.
What a silly mistake and noob-like attitude I had.
Sorry for wasting space.
Lol.

Hey, you're new to all this. Don't consider it wasting space. We'd have bashed you if you were doing that. Lol.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
New to this? Me?
I'm not new to Visual Basic 6 or to Mirage source, well this new one is a little different.
If you check my profile you'll see I've been a member for quite some time. Obviously it's been a long time since I've come to this site. The last engine I worked on was Elysium.
Which obviously is a re-make of this. I've just not used VB6 in about 3 years. Visual Basic is a thing of the past in my life, C++ and Java seem to have taken over.
Recently I heard that Mirage has a new owner and it getting back to the old way so I thought I'd pop in and have a look.
Using a Vista computer now so I'm bound to back in the error section soon.
Thanks again though for you help and speed in which you replied. It's nice to see this forum becoming more active. I remember when I was the only one online for a while. I should have taken advantage really and spammed.

Vista doesn't mean errors. Trust me. Just right click the shortcut for VB6, go to properties, go to the compatibility tab and check the "disable desktop composition" or w/e it is. It'll disable the Aero UI while VB is open. Helps when messing with forms and such.
Other than that, you gotta have UAC disabled to register the right files and shit you need.
After all that, it's just like running it on XP.
Re: Mirage File - Compile Error - Lochie - 26-02-2009
My vista theme is off already and UAC is the most annoying feature of Vista. They are always deactivated.
Also I enable the Administrator account via DOS to eliminate any other issues that may occur from all this unwanted sercurity.

I'm silent normally, don't often post. So you wouldn't know me, although saying that I don't recognise half the names I've seen around. Besides Mith, although he's on every forum to do with RPG Engines. I was so eager to see him complete Godborn. :?
