I am interested in making my own Online Game, but unfortunately, I have a problem. Say I make a custom character, based on data that I've made in a character editor. If I'm making an online game, how can I synchronize the slave character on the other player's computer so that it would have the same data and traits as the master character on the main computer? And can the same function also be used to synchronize level data? I'm using MPlay, so is there a solution to this problem. If anyone can help me, please let me know. I will greatly appreciate it.

Learn about networking packets. Use unique packets with unique byte identifiers to send data over the buffer. I highly advise using 39dll, and even then 39dll isn't good.. Create a TCP connection socket for must-be-delivered messages and a UDP "socket" for sending movement updates (which don't always need to arrive, lack of "handshake").

You can take a look at my open source C++ server and gml client in my signature if you're interested in switching over to 39dll.

How can I achieve networking packets with the MPlay functions?
