| Post subject: | Player/Friend list |
Difficulty: (I have no clue) This is my own method of doing the following. I've checked and haven't found a tutorial already on this, so I'm posting my way, whether it is the most efficient or not. If the moderators of this community wish to remove this tutorial on the premises that there is already a better (or similiar) tutorial, I have no complaints. Adding a player list and/or friend list [client-side] Control Requirements: CommandButton Controls (2) Listbox Controls (2) Frame Control (1) OptionButton Controls (2) Label (1) -Open up frmMirage and add the following controls: CommandButton Controls (2) -cmdAdd -cmdRemove Listbox Controls (2) -lstPlayers -lstFriends Frame Control (1) -Any Name OptionButton Controls (2) -optPlayers -optFriends Label (1) -lblPNumber -Open up frmMirage's code and add the following: Code: Private Sub cmdAdd_Click() If lstPlayers.ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub Call SendData("ADDFRIEND" & SEP_CHAR & lstPlayers.List(lstPlayers.ListIndex) & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR) End Sub Private Sub cmdRemove_Click() If lstFriends.ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub Call SendData("REMOVEFRIEND" & SEP_CHAR & lstFriends.List(lstFriends.ListIndex) & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR) End Sub Private Sub optFriends_Click() cmdAdd.Enabled = False cmdRemove.Enabled = True lstPlayers.Visible = False 'Only needed if you put one listbox ontop of the other lstFriends.Visible = True 'Only needed if you put one listbox ontop of the other End Sub Private Sub optPlayers_Click() cmdAdd.Enabled = True cmdRemove.Enabled = False lstPlayers.Visible = True 'Only needed if you put one listbox ontop of the other lstFriends.Visible = False 'Only needed if you put one listbox ontop of the other End Sub -Open up Constants.bas and add: Code: 'Constant for Player Friends Public Const MAX_FRIENDS = 5 -Open up Types.bas and find Type PlayerRec -At the end of this type, before closing it with End Type, add: Code: 'Friends Friend(1 To MAX_FRIENDS) As String -Open up HandleData.bas and add: Code: Dim p as Integer -Then, at the bottom of the HandleData subroutine, add the following: Code: ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: PlayerJoin packet :: -smchronos ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: If (LCase(Parse(0)) = "playerjoin") Then frmMirage.lstPlayers.AddItem Parse(1) If IsFriend(MyIndex, Parse(1)) Then frmMirage.lstFriends.AddItem Parse(1) End If lblPNumber.Caption = CStr(CInt(lblPNumber.Caption) + 1) Exit Sub End If ' :::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: PlayerLeave packet :: -smchronos ' :::::::::::::::::::::::: If (LCase(Parse(0)) = "playerleave") Then n = Parse(1) frmMirage.lblPNumber.Caption = n If n = "0" Then Exit Sub End If frmMirage.lstPlayers.Clear frmMirage.lstFriends.Clear For p = 2 To (n + 1) frmMirage.lstPlayers.AddItem Parse(p) If IsFriend(MyIndex, Parse(p)) Then frmMirage.lstFriends.AddItem Parse(p) End If Next p Exit Sub End If ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: PlayerList packet :: -smchronos ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: If (LCase(Parse(0)) = "plist") Then n = Parse(1) frmMirage.lblPNumber.Caption = n If n = "0" Then Exit Sub End If For p = 2 To (n + 1) frmMirage.lstPlayers.AddItem Parse(p) If IsFriend(MyIndex, Parse(p)) Then frmMirage.lstFriends.AddItem Parse(p) End If Next p Exit Sub End If ' :::::::::::::::::::: ' :: Friend packets :: -smchronos ' :::::::::::::::::::: If (LCase(Parse(0)) = "addfriend") Then frmMirage.lstFriends.AddItem Parse(1) End If If (LCase(Parse(0)) = "remfriend") Then For p = 0 To frmMirage.lstFriends.ListCount If frmMirage.lstFriends.List(p) = Parse(1) Then frmMirage.lstFriends.RemoveItem (p) Exit Sub End If Next p End If ' ::::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: Friends Load packet :: ' ::::::::::::::::::::::::: If LCase(Parse(0)) = "playerfriends" Then For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS Player(MyIndex).Friend(n) = Parse(n) Next n Exit Sub End If -Lastly, add this to nearly any module. I placed my in the GameLogic near the bottom: Code: Function IsFriend(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal Name As String) As Boolean Dim n As Integer IsFriend = False For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS If Player(Index).Friend(n) = Name Then IsFriend = True Exit Function End If Next n End Function [server-side] -Open up Constants.bas and add: Code: 'Constant for Player Friends Public Const MAX_FRIENDS = 5 -Open up Types.bas find Type PlayerRec and add within: Code: 'Friends Friend(1 To MAX_FRIENDS) As String -Open up HandleData.bas and add within the HandleData subroutine Code: ' :::::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: Remove Friend packet :: ' :::::::::::::::::::::::::: If LCase(Parse(0)) = "removefriend" Then For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS If Player(Index).Char(Player(Index).CharNum).Friend(n) = Parse(1) Then Player(Index).Char(Player(Index).CharNum).Friend(n) = "" Packet = "REMFRIEND" & SEP_CHAR & Parse(1) & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR Call SendDataToAll(Packet) Exit Sub End If Next n End If ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: ' :: Add Friend packet :: ' ::::::::::::::::::::::: If LCase(Parse(0)) = "addfriend" Then For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS If Player(Index).Char(Player(Index).CharNum).Friend(n) = "" Then Player(Index).Char(Player(Index).CharNum).Friend(n) = Parse(1) Packet = "ADDFRIEND" & SEP_CHAR & Parse(1) & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR Call SendDataToAll(Packet) Exit Sub ElseIf n = MAX_FRIENDS Then Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Too many friends!", Red) Exit Sub End If Next n End If -Open up GameLogic.bas and find the JoinGame subroutine and add with the other sendblah subroutines: Code: Call SendFriends(Index) -This can be placed in nearly any module, but I prefered adding it in the ServerTCP: Code: Sub SendFriends(ByVal Index As Long) Dim Packet As String Dim n As Integer Packet = "PLAYERFRIENDS" & SEP_CHAR For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS Packet = Packet & Player(Index).Char(Player(Index).CharNum).Friend(n) & SEP_CHAR Next n Packet = Packet & END_CHAR Call SendDataTo(Index, Packet) End Sub (This is only needed if you are still using .ini files to save account data. Binary methods will need to be deleted and remade, but no extra code is necessary) -Open up Database.bas and find the SavePlayer subroutine. It doesn't matter where in here you add the following, but I placed it under the position putvars Code: 'Set Friends For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS Call PutVar(FileName, "CHAR" & i, "Friend" & n, Player(Index).Char(i).Friend(n)) Next n -Still within Database.bas, find the LoadPlayer subroutine and add anywhere: Code: 'Get Friends For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS Player(Index).Char(i).Friend(n) = GetVar(FileName, "CHAR" & i, "Friend" & n) Next n -Still within Database.bas, find the ClearPlayer subroutine and add anywhere: Code: For n = 1 To MAX_FRIENDS
Player(Index).Char(i).Friend(n) = "" Next n I cut this out of my own server/client, so I may have forgotten something. If you get an error, please post it here. |

Indeed, I was wondering if there was one on here, but hadn't really looked. I'll have to include this in my client. |

If someone could, i tried to use this Tutorial and it did not work. When i tried to add the fallowing to the Type.bas file, it gave me an error on both the client and the server. 'Friends Friend(1 To MAX_FRIENDS) As String --- The error message was this: Compile Error: Only valid in object module I believe that i fallowed the tutorial completely, and i am unsure as to why i am getting this error. |

Make sure that the constant is defined and you've placed this inside the PlayerRec type block in the types.bas Also, recheck the steps to see if you skipped one. |

I just re-did the entire tutorial. No change. As far as i can tell, i did everything like you recommended. I'll talk to you on MSN/AIM whenever your online hopefully and we can get this fixed. |

Hey, I might upload mine pretty soon. It adds/deletes players, shows if they're offline or not, and allows them to communicate. Also, when you delete a player, both parties are removed from each other's list. I just ran down this code, and looks like alot for nothing. then again, mine only sends raw text back and forth... Anyways, kudos on this. |
