ENET for pascal

[{MSX}]

Yes, I'm.

If a new version, I apply it again.

I think current version is rocksolid.

this translation is no problem in my test, but not fully tested in public.

Is underscored identifiers bad idea?

i dont' mean underscores in general, i mean the one on the dll. In there names start with an underscore (in red):

[pascal]function enet_initialize : integer; cdecl; external enetdll name '_enet_initialize';[/pascal]

I don't know if that's an artifact of compiling a dll or if someone changed it or whatever else

The problem is that when i tried to make your headers cross platform, it turned out that libenet.a (in linux) doesn't have the underscores.
This mean i have to do something like:
[pascal]
{$IFDEF linux}
const PREFIX = '';
{$ELSE}
const PREFIX = '_';
{$ENDIF}
function enet_initialize : integer; cdecl; external enetdll name PREFIX+'enet_initialize';[/pascal]

which is not very nice.

ah, I read first page post lately.

If you trouble with underscore, change with this make file.

BPATH=$(MAKEDIR)
INCLUDEPATH=$(BPATH)\..\include
LIBPATH=$(BPATH)\..\lib

CC=$(BPATH)\bcc32
RC=$(BPATH)\brcc32

If you don't want CRC check, remove '-DUSE_CRC32'.

Sorry for reviving this somewhat old thread, but I just found out about this unit, and I was wondering if someone could post some working sample code. I already found http://www.afterwarp.net/forum/thread1274.html this sample, but I can't seem to get it to work. The server sample wont compile due to some error in onethread.start (my version apparently requires additional parameters) and the client sample assumes a combobox of which I'm not certain what values I need to fill it with.


Thanks

I just found this thread too, I've downloaded the sample and I'll see if I can get it to work

It has some new and simple example.

I'm having trouble getting a shared object (or a DLL) out of the projects provided. Anyone got any tips, I'm trying to get the .so under linux and I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty in this area .


Also does someone have an updated cross platform header for this library?

Here's a working demo i wrote to get familliar with ENet for my current project

Wow, this awesome. Thanks a lot Andreaz, and you as well Parcel!

Btw, how's it going Andreaz? We haven't heard from you in a while. Still working on PhoenixLib? You might be interested to know that I'm using it to recreate Village Defense. Things have been a bit quiet on my website for a long while, but that has changed in the last month. I've posted some updates along with some screenshots and a video.

Anyway, If you have a few spare minutes, let us know, I'm sure more than a few of us are interested to know.

[Andreaz]

Well, what can i say, life's been busy

The work on phoenix is progressing, not as fast as i would like but there's alot of stuff happening in the shadows

Doing a big rewrite of many of the parts of the lib, for greater speed and more features.

The next version will support 3D rendering and alot of other features, i'm adding a native texture format that loads 260% faster then the freeimage loading code.

Also coded a model loader with support for gpu based skinning and alot of supporter classes for 3D rendering including camera support and shaders.

The list of changes is huge and the ones listed abowe is just a small part, I'm working on a 2D in 3D game as a platform for the development of Phoenix, wich helps in getting the library into a more solid state.

Great to hear about the village defence project, give me a tell if you need some help, your projects has always been a great inspiration to me.

I got this working under Linux . It seems nice and quick. I'll post the code of the simple command line demos when I get a moment.

next stop get it working on Windows and OS X .

I think we need a single place to store the interface unit to the dll. Perhaps we need to contribute a unit to free pascal.

I'm not using the transalated code at the moment, as the library is now verison 1.2 I'm not sure what version the translation is.
