Heya-

Yea you make a good point there Lapo, though it would be nice if there was some mention of needing to use sendRoomList when using a custom login since i know it caused me HOURS of headaches until i realized the problem. It appears others have run into this as well.

Heya- When using a custom login, you have to use the _server.sendRoomList() function after you use the _server.loginUser() function. Why? Cause smart fox doesn't allow you to join a room, until you have been sent the room list. Why doesnt it just send it for you? NO CLUE! Im betting if you did a bit...

Heya- You dont need to compress everythin down to a single room, you just have to have all your code in a single zone extension. You can still use multiple rooms. For instance, You have room 1, which correlates to map 1. You have your zone extension load the map, and push it off into a room variable...

Heya- I could be wrong, but i dont actually ever see you leaving a room in the code you provide. Granted you join another room, which im guessing you are assuming will make you leave the previous one. This is not the case however, as i understand it you can be join to multiple rooms at once. SO all ...

Heya-

THought i would chime in.

Yes Lapo is correct(of course), this means that if you are using a custom login, you will be unable to properly join rooms until you fir the sendRoomList function.

So if your using a custom login, that could be your problem to.

Heya- If you do it properly, you shouldn't have to loop through anymore people then you do already. You still make use of rooms. and you can access the rooms (And all its properties such as players) from the zone level. So you can send messages to specific rooms where only certain groups of people a...

Heya- Sucks doesnt it? I ran into the same problem where i wanted various extensions to talk to each other. Guess what, its a no no pretty much. While the separation of everything into different extensions seems logical, it is actually less efficient when using smart fox. Why? 1) Extensions cant tal...

Heya- SO i know its been awhile, but im ready to post my response, lol. Ok, so to cover my other two Suggestions. Saving of Dynamic Zones and Rooms: The reasons i think this should be included in the server itself, and not something that people do themselves through a DB are Centralization, and Simp...

Heya- Maybe i smoked crack this morning, maybe i didnt smoke enough, but isnt what your asking for basically the documentation that is included when you download the server? Im sure there are a few things that are missing from it (such as the dynamic zone creation), but for the most part its all rig...

Hello-

You can still do what you want. Simply make use of Intervals. This will allow you to execute a function ever X amount of time.

Hey Lapo- Thanks for responding. I did not realize that you could do #include for actionscript, i kept trying to import (filename). Im also looking forward to some documentation on dynamic creation of zones , glad to hear that is already in. As for my other two suggestions, im about to leave for wor...

Hey JC- Ok, if i understand what your saying. You want two people to log in with the same name, well call it Bob. So user 1 logs in as Bob and user2 logs in as Bob. That what you want so far? If so, im not sure if SmartFox will let you do that or not, havent test it. BUT if it does, then YES you can...

variables and function to copy to your other extensions. var defMaxUser = 50; var defMaxSpec = 5; function newCreateRoom(rName, rPass, rGame, rMaxU, rMaxS, sUpdate, bEvt, rxName, rxClass) { var roomObj = {} if ((rName == null) || (rName == ""))...

Hey Everyone- So since a few others seemed interested in dynamic rooms that persist over server reboots, and i don't like waiting for things, i decided to write a little code to do just that. THis seemed like a good place to put it. There is two parts. The first is a a zone extension that handles th...
