Net Explanation please...

[JayLo]

aiyah... reading up on the Net command, don't really understand the Net.WaitForConnection and the Net.OpenConnection commands!!
well, you guys are the super wizards at turing right? something to put your minds to work at!

[Tony]

ya, we already have a turing chat uploaded to our FTP.

ftp://swat@danco.no-ip.com I belive

path:
Turing/Turing%20Programs/Turing%20Chat/

[JayLo]

what's a general protection (segmentation) fault?? I ran your program and that was the error.

[Tony]

i think its a problem with your compiler, not the source code. I tested the program and it works fine.

[JayLo]

probably my firewall... wonder if there's a way to bypass it.

[Tony]

ya, you can turn your firewall off

otherwise no, cuz firewall monitors your ports. You have to turn it off.

[Dan]

what version of turing are you using, becuse i dont know if it wroks in all of them.

[azndragon]

Kinda odd how the Turing versions are so different. For example, QFTB works on Turing 3.1.1, but not Turing 4.0.1p, its really odd.

[Tony]

thats because v3 and v4 are very different. V4 was rebuild from scratch and its build some different way... and it doesn't have some features that v3 does...

[azndragon]

I like version 4.0 better, because it's colour coded, which makes it A LOT easier to tell what's what.

[Dan]

if you like 4.0 you relay shode upgrade to 4.0.4 you get the colore coding and some help i think plus you can compile. but i will always like 3.0.1 i think i liked the look of the turing app in that one more and i also liiked spiters altho you dont need them in 4.0.1+

[azndragon]

Well, I actually have 4.0.1p.

[Tony]

yo dan, as soon as we get reply on those custom DLLs, I'll write you an add-on for Sprites to use in 4.x

[krishon]

sweet, could u send the dll's to me too??
i wanna play aorund wit the sprites for 4.04b.
that would be sick

[Tony]

that doesn't have much to do with the Net feature anymore

but ya... currently me and dan are looking for way to add our own dlls to turing and holtsoft isn't helping much

Though when we figure this one out, we'll have our add-ons available for download. An add-on package development is also one of our ideas. Much like GUI that will allow you to have a whole range of additional functionality, we just want to use C++ instead for higher performance.
