Dang, I missed the test. Hopefully I won't miss the next one. I've always had a fascination in MUD construction. As said, I had once worked on a MUD through the game dev language BYOND DM. I only know rather basic BASIC code, but I've gotten quite skilled with flat file manipulation. As a matter of ...

You beat me to the punch. I was about to suggest anyone wanting to server use no-ip.com's service. That way you can reach the server computer no matter its IP, for instance..well, Ryan's example covers it. Even if your IP changes from 12.34.56.78 to 12.34.67.89, No-IP will catch it and send all user...

Yahoo Messenger supports "Conference Chat", but I don't know its user limit. I do know it is possible for a seemingly unlimited number of users by making a Chat Room. OOC and Roll work wonderfully--thanks! This is shaping up to be the chat client of choice when and if the RPG I'm working o...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Having the program be able to act as a psuedo-server in order to update IP Address and connection lists is an interesting idea, and would create sort of a persistent P2P chat network that was always up and running in one form or another. With decentralizaion being ...

Actually, for something like that, why not just allow people to set up their own Master Servers? Then you can begin to create "Community Nets". This also takes the burden of a full master server off whoever decided to host the potentially huge master server that would be involved if all cl...

Woah! You did everything I set out to do. *laughs*

Excellent work, cenozoite!

I don't think opening for output would get the job done. Maybe opening for binary would, but that just writes all 0s, which isn't a very secure wipe, if my knowledge on this is at all accurate..

Windows already has an IDE for FB (FBIde); why don't we think to an IDE for Linux or DOS that IMHO is one thing FB really miss? Better if in text mode so it could be used also on low end or "historycal" machines. Or for people who would rather use Text Mode/DOS. (As it stands the only pro...

A (rather sloppy) way of going about creating a binary file in the manner you're wanting could be done like this, I think... (I don't have FB available everywhere anymore so I can't test this): Compile with -ex though... ON ERROR GOTO panic OPEN "file.ext" FOR BINARY ACCESS WRITE AS #1 'Ac...

Only problem is that NEW would add another keyword to the list of reserved words, and "new" might have functions in the future for object manipulation when Object-Oriented Programming arrives. New might already be implemented--I'll check the Wiki on it.

If you want my personal opinion, I see no problem with what you're doing, as long as the logger remains on your system. If it got out into the public network, that's when I'd start to worry. It seems to me, though your initial post did have some information that didn't look too good, you've said on ...

Excellent. If I knew anything about TCP/IP I'd see what I could do in terms of your keylogger, but when it comes to that, the best I'm able to do right now is mod a program where all the TCP/IP stuff (Winsock) is taken care of already, so I'd be of little help. Personally, I can understand putting a...

Prichard, would the game you intended on using the keylogger on be an MMO? Or just standard multiplayer? If it's an MMO, everything will come to your server through the network communications anyway , so you can just capture it on the side of the server. Let your users know you are doing this before...

Field is a keyword, and thus Field$ (your function), errors out, because this is the equivilent of Dim Field as String Field is a keyword, so FBC gives you an error. From the Wiki: TYPE typename FIELD= 1,2,4 ..... END TYPE Description: A TYPE variable has its fields aligned to the word length of the...

If Microsoft did that they'd have to go after all the other projects that let you run Windows apps (Wine for linux being my primary thought on the matter, but I could be entirely wrong about that, in terms of actual topic accuracy) Really, all they're doing is supporting Microsoft Windows API calls....
