Hi all...
I've been trying to establish a peer-2-peer connection using DirectPlay for a simple console sample game. So, I need to send a message to the other computer, everytime a player made its move. This message is an array of 4 chars. I'm sending it w/ DirectPlay's SendTo function, which looks like this:
if( FAILED( hr = pDP->SendTo( DPNID_ALL_PLAYERS_GROUP,
&dpnBuffer,
1,
0,
NULL,
phAsync, DPNSEND_PRIORITY_HIGH | DPNSEND_GUARANTEED | DPNSEND_NOLOOPBACK)))
But when I receive it in the other computer, the msg is filled with zeros. I'm receiving the message through the DirectPlayMessageHandler, which is the following:
case DPN_MSGID_RECEIVE:
{
PDPNMSG_RECEIVE pMsg;
TCHAR strBuffer[4];
pMsg = (PDPNMSG_RECEIVE) pMsgBuffer;
DXUtil_ConvertWideStringToGenericCch( strBuffer, (WCHAR*) pMsg->pReceiveData, 4);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
//Avoid garbage
if (strBuffer >= 0)
{
msg = strBuffer;
}
}
//Check it up
cout << msg[0] << msg[1] << msg[2] << msg[3] << endl;
break;
}
Can someone tell me why this happens? What am I doing wrong here? =S
Thanks everyone...
