LuaSockets for WIG?

[Free Fall]

Well, I'll try to make something like this, although I'm a Lua-noob

But there is one thing i worry about:

What if one of the servers, which are gonna be connected, has a firewall?
This would be a problem....

[Free Fall]

I started working on it, but I'm stuck and need help with this.

my problem is now the fact, that the luasocket library doesn't receive it's own messages.

I tried it with an external program (telnet) and i could achieve results, but only with this thing, it does nothing.

So, for whoever want's to help me I attached that what i have until now to this post. It's not much, but i can't do much with that problem.

So, please help!

EDIT: deleted attachment because newer one is posted in a later post

O.O Hewly Scheitt...

Someone actually tried! Awesome Free Fall! Any Progress is progress.

I'd give you a hand... but I'm flat useless when it comes to Lua... sorry...

We got a start! I know there's some Lua Buffs here. ^_^

Where's Erkle/Syranide/Tad2020 when you want him? :lol:

And you think your a noob when it comes to lua? I don't know crap if my life depended on it.

Well, I AM a noob, but as my motto is:

"You don't need to know a programing language to use it. just know what to modify of other peoples code to fit it into your mind"

That's exactly what I do actually. :P

UPDATE: changing from TCP to UDP did the trick

So:

Oh My God, I've done IT!!!!!

Ok, i dunno how good it works, but for me it works. (could only test it on my localhost, because I have no own server:wacko

But it won't work, if the UDP-Port you want to use isn't forwarded.

Right now it has inputs and outputs for 8 wire ports ("A" - "H") so you can easily transmit values. If you want to, you must configure your own port, the target and the target's port in the stool, which you can find under "Wire - Data"

you need to configure the target on both games, otherwise the messages will only reach one device:wacko: (maybe i'll try to find something better later)

So, now the only thing you have to do is to try it and the tell me, what doesn't work of what to do better. (But i can't promise anything. i'm not a lua professional)

That's awesome!

Soon you'll be able to put my radiosystems cell towers on a map and communicate cross-server!

[Free Fall]

you mean like cross-server radio towers?

or remote wars or whatever you can remote control will be able to do on another server!

but i still need somebody testing it.
