Please Slain my idea into prespective

Well, one socket would have to use 6120
SC would be talking with the 7 tmp sockets, and the host would be talking to the 7 reall players.
It all depends what ports are avalible when i bind() them all

what ports are avalible when i bind() them all

"... one bot to rule them all, and in the darkness bind() them."

What the hell? lol

[Ringo]

uh, im getting confused, i suck at this
I genealy find a free port like so:

Code Select Expand


Dim i as integer
for i = sockets.lbound to sockets.ubound
    BNCS_BIND(Sockets(i), 6112 + i)
next i


Public Sub BNCS_BIND(SOCK As Winsock, Optional PortRange As Long = 6112)
    Dim MyIP As String
    Dim FreePort As Long
    Bnet.BNCSIP = GFini("Setup", "BNET Address")
    Bnet.BNCSPort = CLng(GFini("Setup", "BNET Port"))
    MyIP = SOCK.LocalIP 'my internet IP (if accessable)
    FreePort = PortRange
    Bnet.UDPStamp = &H0
    Do Until FreeBind(SOCK, FreePort) = True
        FreePort = FreePort + 1
    Loop
    SOCK.RemoteHost = Bnet.BNCSIP
    SOCK.RemotePort = Bnet.BNCSPort
End Sub

Public Function FreeBind(SOCK As Winsock, ByVal PortRange As Long) As Boolean
    On Error GoTo NextPORT
    With SOCK
        .Close
        .Bind PortRange, .LocalIP
    End With
    FreeBind = True
    Exit Function
NextPORT:
    If Err.Number = 10048 Then
        FreeBind = False
    Else
        FreeBind = True
        Call ShowChat(vbRed, "[UDP] Bind Error:" & Err.Number & " Unable to bind " & Err.Description)
    End If
End Function

Lol... Ringo, when Kp said what he said, he was quoting from the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Amusing reference. It wasn't related to what you were saying, he was just being amusing by playing with the word bind() when you mentioned that word

[Ringo]

Heh, I thought he was under the impression i was binding them in the darkness/blind
Its all constructive comments, witch is what i wanted tho
Kp knows alot more about this kinda stuff than me

Actually, bind() alone wouldn't have been enough to merit the joke.  But when it was "bind() them all", it seemed appropriate.
