Problems with Mplay, and a missing font

Posted by Tasm on June 27, 2006, 9:53 a.m.

So the other day I was scrolling through my fonts, looking for a new one to use in GM's code editor. I came across one called Sydnie, which I thought looked pretty cool ('tis also the same font used in the code part of my banner). Everything was all fine and dandy until the next day, when I realized the font had been switched. I went back into the preferences to change it back, when I found out the font seemed to have disappear from existence. I did a google search on the font, but to no avail. I guess I'll never see that font again…

As 1 of you already knows, I'm making a simple online shooter game thing. It's going pretty good, that is, until I got t the actual shooting part. For some reason, the client side decides it's too good to recieve the message that contains the bullet's direction and such. I did a search on the GMC, and as expected, ended up with a lot of topics that were never actually answered.

Well, I gotta go do some work now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It dosn't seem like your the only one that lost that font. Have you recently un-installed a program.

No, I haven't uninstalled anything, and question marks are your friends.

I went and did a google search on "Sydnie Font"… And lots of forum threads about the font dissapearing showed up. Haha.

Yes, it seems to be a rather elusive font.

That font needs to be punished. Running away from computers like that…

make something like a debug. In the host side make it show a message saying "Bullet stuff sent", then in the client make it show "Bullet Stuff received" when the message is received. That way you'll know ether is it a problem with the host/client in the messages, or it is just a mess with the code to read the stuff in the client side.

Alternatively, you could use GMSock. You know, like everyone else.

I KINDA have to learn how to use mplay functions first. KINDA.
