I attached my chat code. When I input a message it doesn't appears on the screen and other players can't see it to, can some one tell me whats the prob?

I know nobody wants to go throug that code but PLZ HELP ME!!!!

the problem with this code is that you need to be several for the test ...
you should try it with your contacts .. I'm sure you know people who has DBP

I tried but it didn't work
maybe some1 can see whats the prob...
I'M IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP!!! PLZ HELP ME!!!

i looked at it, i do not have time to test today though. What I would do is add some debugging code to see whats happening....

example:
1 - when you send network string, print that string on the screen.
it doesn't need to be neat, you just need to actually see what your
raw data looks like.

2 - when you recieve the data, print that out too. Examine the raw incoming data and verify its the same data you sent. Sounds stupid,
but you'll be surprised how this helps when things begin to get a
little complicated because you will eventually have many dif types
of messages....
chat
ping
pong
target-moves
weapon-moves
and so on

3 - verify your code is dividing the data correctly. You know, mixing
the position data with chat data. Print each part to the screen.

4 - another problem is ensure that you are not sending data too often. I normally place a timer variable that checks to see how long
it has been since the last transmition. Any time over 500 should be fine... 500 is based upon the Timer() function... 1000=1 sec.

5 - be on the lookout for lost data packets. If running in a "slow" mode, this will become a real problem. If running in exclusive mode, having a second program on your PC trying to talk, will not work because it will be on hold. Thats why 2 PC not behind a firewall are required for early testing.

see if this gets you going in the right direction. Sometimes, learning new ways to debug is better than having code work right the first time.I looked at the code some more.... i think there is something missing..... where is the code you used to create the game?
You'll never recieve any messages unless you create a network game.

the create game and stuff are basic things, I left them out so it would be less complicated. thanks for the tip

done that, it recieves the data but doesn't put it in the variables, and iI can't figure out why... now I really need some help

have you stepped through

readmpdata:

and verified that you are parsing your data properly?
and of course print or show all variables as your parse your data.
Perhaps, create a small test app that just parses the same text only. Basically, an app that only has your parsing code, so its not multiplayer. Then, you can give it some text to parse, and see how it does. Your parsing method seems complicated too me. I tend to use fixed lenght strings so all data is the same size. Example:

position data from 0-9999 in value (4 bytes as text)
PosX=37
PosY=907
PosZ=1509

Convert to fixed length strings
PX_S=right("00000"+trim(str(PosX)),4)
PY_S=right("00000"+trim(str(PosY)),4)
PZ_S=right("00000"+trim(str(PosZ)),4)

create your message
use a * to identify data to follow
msg="*"+PX_S+PY_S+PZ_S

parse the text on the return side
if left(msg,1)="*"
data to follow
msg=right(msg,12)
PX_S=Left(msg,4)
msg=Right(msg,8)
PY_S=Left(msg,4)
PZ_S=right(msg,4)

Get the actual value
PosX=Val(PX_S)
PosY=Val(PY_S)
PosZ=Val(PZ_S)
else
this is a chat message
endif

this technic can be used with memblocks too, but thats a bit more advanced as position data can be done as floating point and still only take up 4 bytes per position.
