You can work with zip files with VB because the method of packing and unpacking isn't copyrighted. Heck, you can make zip files dynamically with PHP. Rar has a nice encryption mathod, but the packing method is copyrighted. |

Obviously, "Trim$(Player(index).Login)" is returning null for some reason. |

I seem to remember reading an article a while back that Vista will have VB6 support. I'd say "yes". |

The stupid thing likes to work every once in a while. I run the thing and I get overflow at the weirdest locations now.

Can you recompile with a GetTickCount() method at the bottom? :) I'd like to compare all three.. and I don't have VB at work. (Just VBA, which isn't gonna be the same..) I completely forgot that it'd be a good idea to compare with GetTickCount... And if you don't notice, I had to remove my method f... |

You said you didn't see any use for it in Elysium. (Can't quote this, cause my thread on the Elysium forums was deleted on my request) There are much better ways of stopping speed hacks, that's all I really said. I wasn't singling out Elysium either, because it'd be the same for Mirage. As for it b... |

Pingu didn't want to approve of it as a valid, working tutorial, and suggested that it was not useful (for Elysium).. So I withdrew my offer for its use in Elysium. :) Verrigan, I only didn't approve it yet because nobody actually said it stops speed hacks, and not because I have some illogical hat... |

Maybe I'll just need to add a few Int() someplaces, but that's ok for now. You don't want to use Int() because it returns an integer, which is only 2 bytes. My GetTickCount() function returns a Double, which is 8 bytes, so you would (possibly) get an OverFlow error if you try to use Int(). You coul... |

Actually, this is a good time for me to ask if there are any ports that are automatically port forwarded? My step dad won't let me play with the router because he is paranoid and I'd like to host something once in a while. |

I think you can use whatever port you want provided you don't use one already being used. The best bet is to just pick a number in the thousands. |

Add some code for a message box in there and see if it comes up after 30 seconds.
If so, then your problem would be based on not sending the client the new HP and SP.
If not, then you forgot to enable the timer... |

A great tutorial. I can't act on it because my trusty computer died on me, but reading was good enough right now. So, basically, you divide all output onto three divisions if you will.

It wouldn't be too hard. Just make a new variable in the player type called "Para As Long". Make a new spell type following the same format as the others. When the spell is casted on the player for that tpye, just do "Para = GetTickCount". Then, add a little thing in "CanPla... |
