IP Config for MS4?

[timster0]

Could someone make a simple IP Config tut for MS4 please?

[Labmonkey]

find

Code:

' Winsock globals
Public Const GAME_IP As String =

Change the ip to whatever you need it to be.

I think he means IP Config via Ini File

[Labmonkey]

Why would you want that?

For an engine? That way, you can set your ip in the client and give the client out and it will connect to your server.

Duh?

[Labmonkey]

find

Code:

' Winsock globals
Public Const GAME_IP As String =

delete it

replace all

Code:

GAME_IP

with

Code:

ServerIP

make a new textbox on frmmainmenu called txtIP

find

Code:

Private Sub lblLogin_Click()

before

Code:

frmLogin.Visible = True

put

Code:

ServerIp = txtIP.text

Why not just change Public Const GAME_IP = ??? to Public GAME_IP as string, then set GAME_IP to the ip you set?

It's soooo much easier.

Thats what I did, except there was already an unused variable serverip so i decided to use that.

Thanks for trying to improve the tutorial though Perfekt. I appreciate it

Np. I can't see why that unused variable is still there. After all these improvements, they just let that go unnoticed? O.o

Thank you sooooo much.

EDIT:now no matter what IP I put I get "Not a valid ip address", do I out something like "localhost" anywhere?
