Okay, so the more programing languages I learn, the more I know what is possible.


I'm wanting to know how (if possible) to connect via game maker to a web address, submit to the page what version the game is, and to enter the website from the point.
After getting into the webpage, (depending on the Users decision) it would write the IP of that computer, and start/look for a session.

This way, you go to a central location to find a better amount of players, and then connect directly to each other via your IP by reading whatever data is on the page.


If this question makes no sense, sorry...I'll try to explain it better in other comments/responses. But as for right now, I just need to get this question up and out there.

Edit:
Okay...I feel stupid. I didn't read the Rules of this form (until now) and I realized I screwed up real nicely.
So...unfortunately I don't know where to start off, I have never tried multi-language programing before.
Using GML8, you would call a

mplay_init_tcpip('www.mygamepage.com');

but I don't quite know how to approach the page with the game, or the webpage for that matter.

I don't think this has been asked before, but just in case, could you please direct me to the correct page before flagging/reporting this post.

If you want to do this, you must have a hosting with MySQL databases so you can store the variables there.

Check 39Dll its much better than mplay

You shouldn't use mplay for this, as mplay uses peer-to-peer networking, which doesn't work well on the internet.
Also all player need to forward their ports if you want to use mplay. Better check in Extending GameMaker for a DLL or Gex that does work.
