I've made a DLL for gamemaker that can ping to a certain IP address or hostname.

It can get the RTT (ping time in miliseconds) and the TTL (time to live) values.

I hope this is usefull for anyone.


Go to DLL download

Update
This is a small update but I fixed the TTL error in the example.
Now you see the real TTL and not just "3".

Heh, I was looking for a DLL that could do this before. I'll check it.

Great! Very useful! I will download it immediately!

You can do this without a dll, just use execute_shell().

Yes, but you can't use the results in your game if you use execute_shell().

Actually, you can
Have it output to a text file, and simply have it read it.

Well the dll goes alot faster...

Could somebody reupload it?

EDIT: Thank you for updating the server

Thanks! i've been looking for this for a while.

Takes ages to ping, and if Ping_Ping fails, you need to call
Ping_Init again before another Ping_Ping will work.

Please tell me if this error is on my end, but I'm pretty sure its the DLL.

Does it let you specify the packet size?
