Looking for some help on translating the RenRem scripts from BRenBot into C++/CLI (or C++ in general) so that I can work out my bot's FDS communication...

If anyone could contact me via MSN (bhmath@hotmail.com) or Private message, that'd be great.


Thanks,
MathK1LL

I think most bots go thought FDSTalk.dll to communicate with the FDS, either that or the DDE channel.

Not sure though.

What's so special about CLI ( command line interface ) ? It's just the same as a GUI application but without the GUI part Rocked Over

BRenBot communicates with the FDS using UDP, which means the connection is created and broken again for each line it sends. It gets data back by reading the output into the logfiles.

CLI is C++ .NET, it's a very high level language.

Sending data over UDP is connectionless, you don't connect or disconnect.

FDSTalk should be easy to use in CLI, you can just import the funcions.

I was speaking generally about UDP. I wish they would stop re-using the same abbreviation for different things...

CLI is the Common Language Infrastructure. Languages such as C++/CLI that target the CLR are extremely powerful languages. C++/CLI was created to make an easy switch from Native C++ to the managed world, which Microsoft did an outstanding job.

I code with C++ a lot, but never heard of CLI other than in it's meaning as Command Line Interface. Why couldn't they come up with a unique name for it instead of trying to confuse everyone? Razz

Because C++/CLI still meets C++ ISO Standards and has backwards compatibility with Native code via Interop. Wink

Perhaps re-read.
And tbh, I think that command line interface (CLI) is a more often used avebration then yours.

What does that have to do with anything? A Command Line Interface has nothing to do with the Common Language Infrastructure...

I read half this topic wondering why people were talking about command line interfaces. Sad

Seems I've sparked a conversation about a different type of C++ Smile


C++/CLI is very powerful and simple to learn. The bot that I'm creating for Renegade is coded solely in C++/CLI.

As for the meaning of CLI, I'm going with Dave on that one...



Thanks,
