NightRegulator is also programmed in VB6 and i must say, there are some real problems with useing FDSTalk.dll, there is this function called Get_Response which needs to be called after sending a message to the FDS, for some reason, this crashes VB6 programs

so do what i did Razz send a msg though renrem (player_info) after sending an msg to the fds

There is a bug in VB6 which causes Get_Response to fail.

My suggestion is to send your messages using FDSTalk without calling Get_Response, and read your responses from the log file.

Something else may crash the FDS but its not because you havn't read the response, because the RenRem protocol is based on UDP hence the FDS doesn't even know if you have read the response.

' Do 'Need to empty the outgoing buffer it is crashing FDS after a while

' Response = ""
' Get_Response Response ' this hangs
' Loop While Len(Response) > 1 Or i < 100


direct quote from the winrem source code

btw, what does Service do?

well anyway, here is how it is done via FDSTalk Smile

(i am not on my normal PC at the moment, so i cant get some arguments when you call the function)

Init
Send_Message remotepass, IP (useing Long2IP, (google) ), local port
Send_Message message to send to FDS, IP (useing Long2IP, (google) ), local port
Send_Message Bye, IP (useing Long2IP, (google) ), local port
Service
Get_Response variablename (dont do this if you use VB6)
Service
Shutdown

if you skip out service, it will make the server lag Smile

Not calling Get_Response will not crash the FDS. I use this method in most of my programs.

If the FDS is crashing it's because you're sending data to it too quickly and flooding its input buffer.
