Have a look at Hawke's EUServer, it should be in the archives
somewhere...

It can. I am connected to two servers right now, and near as i can tell, i can
connect to
as many as i want. The catch is they must be on different ports.

Yeas, that one we tested last yr, got speeds up to 1.5megabytes/sec on
localhost. It
worked across the net too, till everyone lost interest. It's also inside the
mirc-eu code i
posted in archives, configured to talk localhost and lock out connections after
the first
authorized contact is achived, so you might want to see how it does that too, so
you
don't have the wrong people connecting.

Hi Ray,
I`m working on a top down deathmatch game . All I want to send to the other
player is simple stuff like his lockation ( {x,y} ) and if he fires and with
whitch gun ( {{x,y}, 4} where x and y is the destination of the bullet and 4
is the 4`th weapon ( like a mp5 ect. )) ect. I saw that when I launch a
server with tcp4u that I could connect many clients but only the first one
would be able to send and recieve data . Actually , no one told me that I
should use euLibnet . Also , when they were talking about game libs , they
didnt say anything about euAllegro . Why ? I think euAllegro is awsome and I
realy like the feture that it supports Mappy maps . Its also good for
playing sounds and music . Kinda think about it , your a good programmer . I
think of you with great respect . You are one of the coders that earned my
respect . `Nuff said , you da man .
Thanks for the help , i`ll be checking out euLibnet now .
Read ya !
Ferdinand
