NET Init

(Difference between revisions)

Current revision

INT NET_Init ( <INT timeout> , <WORD maxconnections> , <WORD maxlistenports> )

Initializes Network.DLL.

INT timeout	- Milliseconds to wait for messages each frame. (0 is the best thing, really)
WORD maxconnections	- Maximum number of connections.
WORD maxlistenports	- Maximum number of ports on which can be listened for connections.

INT : Network.DLL Errorcode

NET_ERROR_ALREADYINIT	- Network.DLL already initialized.
NET_ERROR_INITIALIZATION	- Error during initialization.
NET_ERROR_TOOFEWCONNS	- Too small number of maximum connections
NET_ERROR_TOOMANYLISTENERS	- Too many listenports specified.
NET_ERROR_NONE	- No error.

Also consider (initializing) the following Global variables (before calling NET_Init()):

Program example;
    include "Network.fh";
Begin

    NET_Init(0,10,1);
   
    Loop
        frame;
    End

End
