Forum ‹ Multiplayer ‹ fridge magnets never appear

[adahy]

So i start the server in MS visual C# and I can connect the clients but then I get a blank white screen. I would think it would be a connection or port issue but I am pretty confident it is not. Also, I can connect with the tictactoe code, create a room, and have another client join that room from the lobby but both screens say waiting for other player.

Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Any help is much appreciated! thank you!

Does the server spawn a new tab saying that the game is running?

Yes, it does. I also see this in the first tab before an instance of the flash file is launched.
Game Errors:

(waiting for connection)


Do you think this has anything to do with not being able to see the fridge magnets appear?

I have turned my firewall off but when I use Oliver's access test program it fails to connect to localhost:8184.
But when I try localhost:80 I get the success message. Can I change the code in my .as files to connect to localhost:80?
I tried that but still seeing the same problem.

Port 80 is a webserver you must be running on localhost. Find where the development-server is defined in the flash project. What does it say it should connect to? Should be localhost:8184

the developmentServer is set to localhost:8184. Any idea what is up with the error message I get? Is that the problem? I am using traces to see where the code is going and it looks like it stops right after

Code: Select all

connection.addMessageHandler("init", function(m:Message, myid:int){

in the FridgeMagnets.as file.

You need to set the C# project to export to .NET 3.5 or below. Otherwise it will not work. Sorry that I missed that before.

Ok, that's what I thought. How do I convert them back to 3.5? I can't find a way to save as or export and any other option. Does everyone use an outdated version of MS C#? I am using 2010 express.

ok, I am installing C# 2008. I will report back if that does the trick.

It worked. I installed visual 2008 and recopied the zip file of examples. It worked the first time. Thanks Benjaminsen

You don't have to install visual c# 2008. In visual c# 2010, open the project 'serverside game code'. Go to 'Project' -> 'Serverside game code properties', and set 'Target Framework' to .NET framework 3.5
