Ok, I found THE bug and I fixed it!!! Finaly, after a month of useless attempts for fixing this I did it. Well, there realy was a bug. For everybody that downloaded Verrigan's modified MSE with BinPackets, the bug is that when you send the same data to a lot of diferent persons, like SendDataToAll, the Buffer get's messy the first time you send this data. Why? Simple! It was being used as ByRef and that way when, inside SendDataToNew, this code executes:
Code:
Data = PrefixBuffer(Data, VarPtr(CByte(pType)), 1)
Data = PrefixBuffer(Data, VarPtr(aLen(Data)), 2)
it will replace the old data with this one already modified... So you need to do this once or don't edit. My fix will only don't change the Data() variable. It will copy the data inside Data() variable to an other variable, DataB.
To fix, inside SendDataToNew, replace:
Code:
Data = PrefixBuffer(Data, VarPtr(CByte(pType)), 1)
Data = PrefixBuffer(Data, VarPtr(aLen(Data)), 2)
GameServer.Sockets(Index).WriteBytes Data
With:
Code:
Dim DataB() As Byte
DataB = Data
DataB = PrefixBuffer(DataB, VarPtr(CByte(pType)), 1)
DataB = PrefixBuffer(DataB, VarPtr(aLen(DataB)), 2)
GameServer.Sockets(Index).WriteBytes Data
That shall fix it!
Alright this confused the Hell out of me..
SendDataToNew doesnt exist, and the only thing similar to it that I could find was SendDataNew on the client, which doesn't use GameServer O.O. Soooo.. wth.
Also, does anyone have more bug fixes for mse-verrigan? I'm unfamiliar with binary packets, and looking around I haven't found anything that goes more indepth about the subject.
Holy pain in the ass. I didn't realize the editors hardly work. The HandleSave____'s are bugged :[ And the SendEditNpcs crashes the client (occurs in the prefix buffer). Looking at it I'm not sure what went wrong, any help?

So I converted my packets succesfully from Client to Server, without any problems, using a slightly modified version of modBuffer. Now, I converted all the packets from Server sent to client to byte arrays, and it seems to be having alot of problems. The packets are all done good, I checked those over, but it seems to always totally freeze up the client side and crash VB6. I know this is the Server to Client because I did not have this problem when I had only Client to Server. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? :S
