Hello all! I'd like to share my 39dll tutorial - it has been read by many, many, people and I've received tons of great feedback on it. I've been programming with 39dll for years, and I've created some really incredible stuff with it, like Nexus, my MMORPG VirtuaLife, current GMechanism, and some other cool stuff.

Here's a link to the tutorial: http://www.lukeescud...nline-tutorial/

Let me know what you think! Example GMKs and foundation code are downloadable.

May I turn this into a YouTube video? It will include your name and links to everything you link to in the tut itself.

[lukeescude]

Yeah, absolutely! be sure to post the link up here when you're done!

[Sam_Man_5000]

Awesome, I will start working on that ASAP! Thank you!

[johnkapid]

Well, this is very helpful. Very helpful indeed.

Nice tutorial dude!, but with GM:Studio i have a critical msg and can't compile, idk why

Edit: I found the problem, remove from "included files" the 39dll, compile and put the 39dll manually in the folder where's the game executable.

Glad you found the issue, and thanks, johnkapid!

Tut looks awesome! I'm going to follow the entire thing and try to make my first online game.
One thing, when I imported it to Studio I get an error saying:

Error defining an external function.
ERROR!!! :: ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object server_init:

[lukeescude]

That error looks incomplete, is that the whole thing?

You may not be able to correctly import a GMK file into Studio. It may be necessary to open the GMK with Game Maker 8, export the scripts to a GML file, then drag and drop the scripts into your project.

[Canuckles]

It's because 39dll wasn't included in your export folder.

The tutorial really helped me understand 39Dll. Thanks! +1 rep.

 

Edit: Oops didn't mean to necro post! Sorry!

Could you redo one for faucet networking   

[lukeescude]

I'll look into Faucet and check it out

 

I'm not doing much 39dll anymore though, since most of my time is spent on GMechanism, which is async-PHP.

Can't wait for that. :D
