MSE Build 2 - Description
MSE2 has several new bug fixes compared to the old versions (MS 3.0.3, 3.0.7 and MSE1 as well). This new source offers a more user friendly interface and some speed changes as well as some minor additions. So if you are new and want a Good source, your right pick is MSE2, both in performance and speed.

There are only basic optimizations done, I didn't bother adding all cause they are in the tutorial board. And they are easy to follow.

You need to fix it so if you click on the game screen focus is set to the chat textbox.

Fast fix in frmMirage:

Code:
Private Sub picScreen_GotFocus()
  On Error Resume Next
  txtMyChat.SetFocus
End Sub


I will add it later on, but just now. Bhenur fixed a bug in k2h which allows me to work on it again :) I changed the frmMirage scalemode from Pixel to Twip cause it makes the moving of frmMirage better. But it also messed up a lot of other things with the gfx. And he found the problem :P I would never have thought of reverting that back.

uFail by using the on error resume next shit. That's not fixing code, or optimizing it. That's just lazy.

That was taken from k2h, and that on error resume next is there cause the controls doesn't always have time to load on slow computers, and then trying to set the focus to a unloaded object can cause a error.

Don't go just regurgitating other people's views on things.

On error resume next can be useful in some code. The way Mirage uses it as a 'I have no idea what's going wrong so I'll just ignore it lol' thingy is poor, but when it comes to Microsoft's... temperamental... controls it can be used to stop hard-to-spot hardware-specific errors.

Too bad it can't stop VB from closing down due to fmod.

Who says what I was talking about has anything to do with what other people have said?

I personally removed those lines that were in any and all ms games and wait for the errors and fix them.

Guess that's just me though.

There are no On Error Resume Next in MSE2. So don't worry Perfekt. I just use that line in k2h cause it helps people, there are no fix for not loaded controls.

Fix for those who already downloaded MSE2 and using it:


Client Side, replace this if:
Code:
If (LCase$(Parse(0)) = "updateitem") Then


With:
Code:
    If (LCase$(Parse(0)) = "updateitem") Then
        n = Val(Parse(1))
       
        ' Update the item
        Item(n).Name = Parse(2)
        Item(n).Pic = Val(Parse(3))
        Item(n).Type = Val(Parse(4))
        Item(n).Data1 = Val(Parse(5))
        Item(n).Data2 = Val(Parse(6))
        Item(n).Data3 = Val(Parse(7))
        Exit Sub
    End If

Server Side, replace:
Code:
Sub SendUpdateItemTo(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal ItemNum As Long)
Dim Packet As String

    Packet = "UPDATEITEM" & SEP_CHAR & ItemNum & SEP_CHAR & Trim$(Item(ItemNum).Name) & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Pic & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Type & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR
    Call SendDataTo(Index, Packet)
End Sub

With:
Code:
Sub SendUpdateItemTo(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal ItemNum As Long)
Dim Packet As String

    Packet = "UPDATEITEM" & SEP_CHAR & ItemNum & SEP_CHAR & Trim$(Item(ItemNum).Name) & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Pic & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Type & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Data1 & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Data2 & SEP_CHAR & Item(ItemNum).Data3 & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR
    Call SendDataTo(Index, Packet)
End Sub

The download is not yet updated with this fix.

On Error Resume Next is the only solution for that specific problem

If "On Error Resume Next" burns your eyes, try...

Code:
Public Sub Name()
 On Error Goto ErrorHandle1

 Exit Sub
 ErrorHandle1:

End Sub


And a good thing to put in the ErrHandle1 label section is something like:

Code:
If Err.Number > 0 Then
    AddLog "Error: " & Err.Number & "; While running Sub Name(" & Variable1 & ", " & Variable2 & ") at " & whatever function for time & ".", "errorlist.txt"
End If


That's still not good error handling...what would be even better is to do error trapping like vbGORE does with On Error GoTo 0 or however it does it...and also to display the sub name with the variables that are in it.
