Try looking at some tutorials.
If you're using mplay (GM's built in multiplayer functions):
http://www.yoyogames...multiplayer.zip <- Official tutorial by Mark Overmars.
http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=190490 <- Mplay platform tutorial.
http://gamemaker.wik...nfo/multiplayer <- Summary of Mplay scripts and usage.
Google.com <- Your friend.

If you're using 39dll (A dll that allows you to access windows sockets in gamemaker):

http://gmc.yoyogames...showtopic=90437 <- 39dll topic..there are a few examples in the posts.

The game was pretty mutch configured to be multiplayer from the current code .. but there is a few problems:

mplay_message_send(0,5,global.username)

and the:

if mplay_message_id()=5
	{
	  ini_open('Accounts.ini')//open accounts
	  if ini_section_exists(mplay_message_value())
	  {
		username = mplay_message_value()
	  }
	}

section can be removed .. because you can find the username that you send to server when you joined the session by mplay_message_name()

and close the ini files after opeing them:

ini_close()

And take a look at this part, here you are looking for section username, key 0 or 1

if ini_key_exists(username,'Password' = mplay_message_value())

.. I highly doubt that you would find that key..

maybe try:

if ini_key_exists(mplay_message_name(),'Password') {
  if ini_read_string(mplay_message_name(),'Password','')=mplay_message_value()
  // password is correct
  else
  // password is wrong;
} else {

// profile doesn't exist .. then create it
ini_write ...
}

in the start it can be good to know that the correct things get triggered, so I use to make a code that when I send something to server/player .. then I can get notified when that happends:

for object controll:
create event:

for(i=0;i<10;i+=1) log[i]="";

draw event:

for(i=0;i<10;i+=1) draw_text(x,y+i*15,log[i]);

// this is a list of all players that is connected
n=mplay_player_find(); i=0;
while(i<n) { draw_text(200,y+15*i,mplay_player_name(i)); i+=1; }

make a new script and call it: log_add

for(i=9;i>0;i-=1;) log[i]=log[i-1];
log[0]=argument0;

this is meant to be put after a id check

if mplay_message_id()=4//create bullet
{
log_add(mplay_message_name()+" created a bullet")
...

but that one might happen ofen .. so it would get a bit annoying ..

.. funny, I had to learn mplay to fix this .. I'm used to work with 39dll only x3 .. will upload it later (because you learn more if you manage to fix it on your own)

[Neged]

Could you please upload, cause i REALLY dont understand a part of what you said...
for the username check thing...
pm the link...

FoxInABox correct me if I am wrong:

What he's saying is that it's no reason to create a variable (global.username) and use it because you can automatically find a name sent to the server by using the built-in mplay function.

As for the second part, it checks for the keys existence, then it checks to see if the password acquitted to it is correct. If it is, most likely the player is allowed to join the world, if it isnt, return a negative (password is incorrect). And lastly, as I said before, it checks the key's existence; if it doesnt exist however, create it.

Hope that helps Neged.

[FoxInABox]

nah.. it might be nice to have the name stored when you got a chat ..

but yeah .. unnessesary to send it to the server 2 times ^^

anyway .. I'll PM the file over to him
