[Opentnl-general] Cant get a client / server connection

[Jeff N. <jni...@az...>]

I'm just starting with TNL. I'm really excited to be working with it - it
seems to be very powerful.

 

I'm trying to get a basic client/server working. I'm working in Visual
Studio .NET 2003, using C++, using the Win32 application template, (as
opposed to the console app template).

 

I started a project yesterday morning - and I had problems making the client
and server connect. After comparing the project settings between my project
and the sample TestGame project, I found a setting in the C++ compiler,
namely "Enable Run-Time Type Info" that was NO on my project and YES on the
sample project. I set it to YES, and my applications connected. YAY!

 

Well, today, I re-wrote the applications from scratch, to familiarize myself
with the API. Again, it didn't connect. I tried the same solution (Run Type
setting). This time it didn't work, and I can't get the server and client
apps to connect.

 

In my solution I have two projects, "server" and "client" - both based on
win32 app (not console). I

I have my own CMyTNLNetInterface, based on NetInterface, and
CMyTNLGhostConnection, based on GhostConnection.

 

For both projects: 

I link in tnld.lib (Im in debug phase, of course) and ws2_32.lib

I define TNL_ENABLE_LOGGING and TNL_DEBUG in the preprocessor

In both apps, I set a windows timer to 50ms and in the timer event, I Tick()
the NetInterface, calling checkIncommingPackets() and processConnections()

 

 

Server startup code looks like (port=678)

Address addr(IPProtocol,Address::Any,port);

            m_NetInterface = new CMyTNLNetInterface(addr);

            m_NetInterface->setAllowsConnections(true);

 

Client connection code looks like: (server="localhost") (port=678)

            Address addr1 = Address(IPProtocol,Address::Any,0);

            m_NetInterface = new CMyTNLNetInterface(addr1); 

            Address addr2 = Address(server);

            addr2.port=port;

            m_GhostConnection = new CMyTNLGhostConnection;

            m_GhostConnection->connect(m_NetInterface,addr2);

 

Log shows this when I start the server:

'Server.exe': Loaded (.snip)

Winsock initialization succeeded.

LogUDP: UDP socket created - bound to address: IP:Any:678

LogUDP: UDP socket receive buffer size set to 32768.

LogUDP: UDP socket send buffer size set to 32768.

LogUDP: UDP socket non-blocking IO set.  Socket initialized.

 

And adds this when I start the client and try to connect (the server and
client events are mixed together)

 

'Client.exe': Loaded (.snip)

Winsock initialization succeeded.

LogUDP: UDP socket created - bound to address: IP:Any:1732

LogUDP: UDP socket receive buffer size set to 32768.

LogUDP: UDP socket send buffer size set to 32768.

The program '[512] Client.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

 

In the log I see that the connection attempt is being rejected. It seems
that the connection puzzle challenge is not being responded to correctly. I
*DO* have the onConnectTerminated function overridden on the
GhostConnection, but it never gets called. Shouldn't it get called when the
connection is rejected?

 

Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks in advance!
