Post subject: CHAT and CHATTXT trouble - new biller protocol - SOLVED!!!!
I'm stuck. As far as i can tell im using the new-biller-prot correctly to send these chat messages. Except it doesnt work. So i think i must be doing ti wrong.

I've got everything else working now. Its just this thats causing me probs

From the new-biller-proc
Quote:

::::: messaging

when a player sends a ?chat message, the server sends:
g->b: "CHAT:pid:channel:sound:text"
pid is the sending player.
channel is the name of the channel. alternatively, it can be a
number signifying which of the player's channels the message is
intended for.
sound is a sound code, to be interpreted by the client.
text is the text of the message.

when a player gets a ?chat message, the server receives:
b->g: "CHATTXT:channel:sender:sound:text"
b->g: "CHAT:pid:number"
channel is the name of the channel that this message is on.
sender is the name of the player who sent the message.
sound is a sound code.
text is the text of the message.
pid is the pid of a player who received the message.
number is what channel that player should see the message as coming
from.

the CHATTXT message is used so that the biller can send a chat
message to many players on one server without sending the full text
and sender name to each of them. the contents of the CHATTXT message
should be cached on the server, and the text used for any following
CHAT messages, until the next CHATTXT. for example, if the server
gets "CHATTXT:sscx:player:0:hello" and then "CHAT:22:3", player 22
should see something like "3:player> hello".


an example of me communitcating with asss

I've had a look but it didnt help. My knowlege of c isnt very high however. trying to compile asss so i could try and debug the biller module to see where i am going wrong is causing me problems too

is it possible to complite the billing module separatly, i havnt managed to compile asss on windows, i just want to step though it in a debugger so i can see if it is responding how i think it is to what i am sending it.

SOLVED this problem

There is what i think may be a bug in the as3 billing module

You need to add a trailing colon to the CHAT command

for example
DOES NOT WORK

Code: Show/Hide

CHATTXT:flabb:Doc Flabby?:0:helo
CHAT:0:1


WORKS

Code: Show/Hide

CHATTXT:flabb:Doc Flabby?:0:helo
CHAT:0:1:


now my tcp biller can continue yey!
