is that a to large Packet ?

{ Angelius } · 01/25/2011, 21:02

so i though about adding some cases to this packet an im not sure how bad it is or the The consequences of what i have added to the packet and i though that it might be to large to be sent everytime the player use the skill but im not sure so i need some advice .

this is how the packet looks like and what i have added is to fix the archerban/PoisonStar

also i wold like to ask,
Should i keep the cases/if statements in a sided void or its fine to have it like what it is

SORRY ITS TO DAMN LONG .

taylor2846 · 01/25/2011, 22:28

what source are you using.

7upguy123 · 01/25/2011, 22:29

please cud sum 1 help me set up a mir server

?

Basser · 01/25/2011, 22:30

Why did you name those methods like that? Instead you could have used an extra parameter for 'how much to add to the position' LOL.

Korvacs · 01/25/2011, 22:37

I seriously would take out all of that processing and do it somewhere else, the packet is meant to be a template, you drop data in and send it, thats as far as it goes really.

@ taylor2846

Creating My own source :xD

@Basser

That packet is the Result of a quick packet testing it's meant to fix the poisonstar/archerban with out using any other resources (THE PACKET IS THE SKILL)
so far....
i do care about yeah its working but also paying attention the packet size and other stuff .
the less = more Theory and than i can clean/sort **** out

@Korvacs

Thank you

~~pro4never~~ · 01/26/2011, 02:58

Completely agree with korv. There is WAY too much coded into that packet.

Packets should be used for ONE thing in my mind... sending the **** effect. Any other server side stuff should be done in your spell handler which calls the packet.

Personally I use a sendspell class and a Target class (which controls the target uid, dmg and the hit bool)

Example usage..

SendSpell S = new SendSpell(Attacker, X, Y, Skill)
S.Targets.Add(new Target(TargetUID, Dmg, Hit));

Then when ready just do

S.Send();

Simplifies my multi target spells significantly. The class itself is also quite simple just allowing for a list of targets and then construct the packet (size and all) when I run the Send method. Send also does the actual sending of the packet (so it's a void, not a byte[] return type) which further simplifies things. If you think about it though I already have the targets and attacker information so it's easy to determine who all needs to receive the packet. Just ToScreen(Packet, Attacker);
