Game Login

[carp]

Hey peeps. I made a game, and its done, cept for the login. The login sends the command to the server and tells them if it is good or bad. I CANT GET IT TO WORK! Can someone make an example to tell me how to do this.

Why do you need to login? Is it multiplayer? How do you register? And finally, we need your existing code for the login system, before we can help you.

I know how i want to do the signup, And it works. I dont hvae code for the login anymore because i got frustraited and deleted it to start over, And i never started over because i failed the last 2 times i tried. I need the client to send the commands to the server, I know how to do that fine, But i dont know how i can get the server to read my commmands and respoind to them.

The server is something else you built, right? Or is it like a webserver that you're saving stuff to?

[carp]

Ya, I built the server.

Can you connect to the server?

Are you using the Winsock control? If so, all you have to do is put your login checking code in the DataArrival event of the server's winsock control.

This should do it:

Dim sUserName As String
    Dim sPassWord As String
    Dim sEmailAddress As String
    Dim sWrite As String
    Dim nFF As Integer
    
    sUserName = "You"
    sPassWord = "pass"
    sEmailAddress = "[email protected]"
 
    sWrite = sUserName & ":" & sPassWord & ":" & sEmailAddress & vbCrLf
    nFF = FreeFile
    
    Open "C:\Documents and Settings\Dennis Wrenn\Desktop\username.txt" For Append As nFF
        Print #nFF, sWrite
    Close nFF
