Looking for Help!
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.

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?

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.

There is always evil somewhere, you just have to look for it properly.
