I know this was around somewhere before. Basically just a listbox with the characters that are currently playing.

Theres a TotalOnlinePlayers() function in modGameLogic in the server.


That may not be exactly what yours looks like... close enough and the concept is the exact same.
Just make a listbox named lstOnline within frmServer

I have this somewhere. I can post it if you want?

I got one working (See the link below) but I just want the list to show characters and nothing else, so i'll try lucidar's and see what that looks like.

Edit:
lucidar's doesn't work

The code i use for mine is



The way it lists the player is diffrent but it does the same thing. Just it gets the player on a certain map as so i can see who i am chatting with.

That seems like a really really really bad method to me

Well, when a player logs on have them cleared or added to the list. It'd be something like



Add something like that to the sub where the player logs in server side, or rather begins playing.

How is that bad?

I think I'm just lazy. I'd probably have written it myself if I'd have bothered to sit down and do it. I hate doing the boring bits though!!!

I just took the exact code from my server. (mine also has char,account,map and ip)

I think I may of changed when totalonlineplayers() was called though..
whatever, all you gotta do is throw a for loop with a call of >listbox.additem Player(i).Char(Player(i).CharNum).Name <
I just put it in the function that I happenned to use whenever a character logged in/out.

Just sit down for 5 damn minutes
or for $2 I'll do it to your exact specs.


Elmrok: I thought player index's didn't depend on the map#.
Wouldn't you have to go something like:

or something simular (didn't check syntax)

Wouldn't it be easier to call that with a command button, so you don't have to reload the form to 'refresh' the list too?

Would that only check the online players once when the form loads? What about checking when a player connects and leaves? Unless that's what you want to do. I'll work with a new method, I don't need all the data, just the character name, so I'll get rid of my listview box.

Zel, Elmrok's isn't lazy, he is showing whos on a map, not showing everyone online. Maybe that suites his purpose, and if you just didn't see that, read the whole code first.

LeaveGame: this should be the only time you have to refresh the list, but you could probably manage without it to

I never said anybody was lazy... lol, what's that all about?

I misread your post about you being lazy then. But the bad method thing is still being scrutinized

It checks the list for all online players when the form loads. That wouldn't really work on frmServer would it, since it only loads once...

Ya, but for what he wanted, it works perfectly for. For what you want, the code i posted is ideal.
