Hi! Can Sombody post an working example of openTNL. I tried to compile the hello world example from the opentnl page. But it does not work. I think this examle was not updated while the opentnl versions have changed. Iam using ms visual c++ express and opentnl version 1.5.0. Compiler stops with many errors. here is the first error which will generate the others: error C2664: 'TNL::RPCEvent::RPCEvent(TNL::RPCGuaranteeType,TNL::RPCDirection)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'TNL::RPCDirection' to 'TNL::RPCGuaranteeType' Here is the complete example of hello world from the tnl page: include "tnl.h" #include "tnlEventConnection.h" #include "tnlNetInterface.h" #include "tnlRPC.h" #include <stdio.h> bool gQuit = false; // a flag used when the client wants to quit. using namespace TNL; // make sure we can simply use the TNL classes. class SimpleEventConnection : public EventConnection { typedef EventConnection Parent; public: // Let the network system know this is a valid network connection. TNL_DECLARE_NETCONNECTION(SimpleEventConnection); // declare the client to server message TNL_DECLARE_RPC(rpcMessageClientToServer, (const char *theMessageString)); // declare the server to client message TNL_DECLARE_RPC(rpcMessageServerToClient, (const char *theMessageString)); }; TNL_IMPLEMENT_NETCONNECTION(SimpleEventConnection, NetClassGroupGame, true); TNL_IMPLEMENT_RPC(SimpleEventConnection, rpcMessageClientToServer, (const char *messageString), NetClassGroupGameMask, RPCGuaranteedOrdered, RPCDirClientToServer, 0) { // display the message the client sent printf("Got message from client: %s\n", messageString); // send a hello world back to the client. rpcMessageServerToClient("Hello, World!"); } TNL_IMPLEMENT_RPC(SimpleEventConnection, rpcMessageServerToClient, (const char *messageString), NetClassGroupGameMask, RPCGuaranteedOrdered, RPCDirServerToClient, 0) { // display the message the server sent printf("Got a message from server: %s\n", messageString); // once the client has heard back from the server, it should quit. gQuit = true; } int main(int argc, const char **argv) { if(argc != 3) { printf("usage: simpletnltest <-server|-client> <connectAddress>"); return 1; } bool isClient = !strcmp(argv[1], "-client"); // convert the command-line address into TNL address form Address cmdAddress(argv[2]); RefPtr<NetInterface> theNetInterface; if(isClient) { Address bindAddress(IPProtocol, Address::Any, 0); // create a new NetInterface bound to any interface, any port (0) theNetInterface = new NetInterface(bindAddress); // create a new SimpleEventConnection and tell it to connect to the // server at cmdAddress. SimpleEventConnection *newConnection = new SimpleEventConnection; newConnection->connect(theNetInterface, cmdAddress); // post an RPC, to be executed when the connection is established newConnection->rpcMessageClientToServer("Hello??"); } else { // create a server net interface, bound to the cmdAddress theNetInterface = new NetInterface(cmdAddress); // notify the NetInterface that it can allow connections theNetInterface->setAllowsConnections(true); } // now just loop, processing incoming packets and sending outgoing packets // until the global quit flag is set. while(!gQuit) { theNetInterface->checkIncomingPackets(); theNetInterface->processConnections(); Platform::sleep(1); } return 0; }

The example is wrong. (Don't you just hate that?)

Replace the part of the code with what's shown below:

class SimpleEventConnection : public EventConnection{    typedef EventConnection Parent;public:    // Let the network system know this is a valid network connection.    TNL_DECLARE_NETCONNECTION(SimpleEventConnection);  // declare the client to server message    TNL_DECLARE_RPC(rpcMessageClientToServer, (StringPtr messageString));    // declare the server to client message    TNL_DECLARE_RPC(rpcMessageServerToClient, (StringPtr theMessageString));};TNL_IMPLEMENT_NETCONNECTION(SimpleEventConnection, NetClassGroupGame, true);TNL_IMPLEMENT_RPC(SimpleEventConnection, rpcMessageClientToServer, (StringPtr messageString), (messageString), NetClassGroupGameMask, RPCGuaranteedOrdered, RPCDirClientToServer, 0){    // display the message the client sent    printf("Got message from client: %s\n", messageString);    // send a hello world back to the client.    rpcMessageServerToClient("Hello, World!");}TNL_IMPLEMENT_RPC(SimpleEventConnection, rpcMessageServerToClient, (StringPtr messageString), (messageString), NetClassGroupGameMask, RPCGuaranteedOrdered, RPCDirServerToClient, 0){    // display the message the server sent    printf("Got a message from server: %s\n", messageString);    // once the client has heard back from the server, it should quit.    gQuit = true;}
