My busy attempts + 39dll Supporter

Posted by Toon-Master on Sept. 4, 2006, 5:29 a.m.

My new engine, PK_Engine

I have being working on this Engine called PK_Engine.

Every attempt I make it fails because my coding gets ugly time after time. I make a biggest flaw even after a plan. I redid this like 4 times.

But now last week I got PK_Engine working. Everything seems to be running fine and I still need further testing. So I think it's a good idea to show my progress of my PK_Engine to you lot.

If you read my scripts, I am interested in what you think of my coding style. Everyone has a different coding style but I want to see some reactions to what you think of mine :P.

Using 39dll at n00b stages

Going back in time…

I moved to 39dll since December I think. I had no idea what to do with the DLL, so I made crazy attempts and asked what was blocking mode etc to Fox-NL. I am glad that I learnt somethings about it because it's got useful functions for writing files etc.

I tried SOC 2 but I had issues with connecting with the DLL, it froze my game. I moved to 39dll anyway because it looked interesting.

SOC 3 came out, it was a pointless release to me. It had errors with tokens. 3.1 was ok now, I liked the use that I can use it. But I hated how you use it compare to 39dll (constants, actually not knowing how much bytes you received).

I practiced more with 39dll, and learn how Non Freeze downloaders work. I wrote 2 tutorials to do with 39dll. I was very indepth about it. I think over did the indepthness (don't think such a word or misspelt).

You can tell that I enjoy using 39dll for my possible projects/example, this is sort of a tiny journal of how I interact with this DLL (such as how I started using it etc).

Final Words:

Note PK_Engine is about to be version 2. Enjoy my 39dll work.

I hope there are more 39dll users.

UPDATE progress:

PK_Engine V2 coming soon…

Currently I added a Ban system as an option. That means 2 new events. Bans IP and MAC addresses.

Also another way to handle different types of messages.

Also I will change the special message system (such as exit game) so your not sending in a lot of bytes. Say roughly 4 bytes instead of more then 10 or something.

PK_Engine 1.2a is out now with the Ban system which needs testing. Includes the special messages, refixed.

and not only did his luck run out, he got bad luck too, stingray deaths are highly uncommon…

I guess your right because I never heard one of those incidents for awhile.

Anyway enjoy what I got so far for the share. I'll edit of what I've done with PK_Engine because I have being doing some things with it.

Yeah R.I.P. Steve because it's removed of my blog. There's a blog somewhere that had this, ;).

I added my oldies that I was doing experiments on. Made the blog a little neater too. Those experiments are going to be in my PK_Engine V2 if I can.
