Not much information is available about the project, but I would like some assistance with some network coding on my current project. My outlook is I would like to make an mmorpg with action and tps features. My main goal right now is to get a working client-server setup. What I need is a basic server program/console which can hold the world data, item, monster, and player data so that when clients disconnect, the information is saved on the server. I'm a novice in network programming so this is why I am here. Ive made a chatbox, but I cant seem to get players on the same server so you can see each other and interact with monsters. Any help is appreciated. I am working with sockets for now until a better option becomes available.

no luck with the Raknet tutorial?

nope, none at all, never would compile. I may have been doing it wrong.

My issue with raknet is that look:

C:\Folder\EsenthelEngineSDK\ for example is my SDK path
then I put raknetclient, raknetserver, and raknetlib in this path:

C:\Folder\RakNetClient\
C:\Folder\RakNetServer\
C:\Folder\RaknetLib\

as the instructions say NOT to put it here:

C:\Folder\EsenthelEngineSDK\RakNetClient\ etc

Am I supposed to do this?

C:\Folder\RakNetClient\EsenthelEngineSDK\ or how should I have it?

my copy is in EsenthelEngineSDK\RakNetServer.

what are all the errors that you get?

1>c:\documents and settings\customer\desktop\client\esenthelenginesdk\raknetclient\stdafx.h(3): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GetTime.h': No such file or directory

Well, where is it right now?

edit: try to disable precompiled headers and rebuild, see what happens then - my project had it disabled.

project properties->precompiled headers

GetTime.h is a header file from the RakNet SDK... i don't know if its removed from the latest version.. but the tutorial is build with version 3.7 of RakNet.
