The way a program interacts with another one. 1. Client ask to the server (Sending a custom MsgStreamBuffer/packet for it) 2. Server (Filter) reads the packet info (don't let it pass to gameserver) 3. Server check all is correct and will reply sending a custom packet to people involved; you and all players with the same region ID to be short. 4. Client will receive that custom packet/MsgStreamBuffer and will proceed to change the title attributes from entity id specified If you plan to make the protocol you'll be ending creating this methods for making things easier: Client.SendTitleColorRequest(byte ColorIndex) : Send a packet with the color position that you wants to use Server.ReadTitleColorRequest(Packet p) : Check client request about titles and reply to the user if there is an error or success while you send an update to all players around Server.CreateUpdateTitleColorPacket(uint PlayerID, Color TitleColor) : Create and returns a packet to be sent to the client to update the player title color Server.SendUpdateToPeopleAtRegion(int Regions[], Packet p): Sends a packet to the people on the specified regions Client.ReadTitleColorUpdate(MsgStreamBuffer p) : Reads the packet and updates the title color from Player ID specified Note: I'm trying to be short, limiting to Color only. You should build a title protocol instead colors only, but I'm just giving you the main idea.

            obj->UpdateTitleColor(0xFFFF0000);
        }//you should create std::map
    CLASSLINK_LOOP_END(CICharactor)

std::map<std::wstring, int>CharTitleColors;
map<std::wstring, int>::iterator itTitle;

int CPSMission::OnPacketRecv(CMsgStreamBuffer* MsgBuffer)
{
	//This place is very bad
	CLASSLINK_LOOP_BEGIN(CICharactor)
	itTitle = CharTitleColors.find(obj->GetName().c_str());
	if (itTitle != CharTitleColors.end())
	{
		obj->UpdateTitleColor(itTitle->second);
	}
	CLASSLINK_LOOP_END(CICharactor)

}

CharTitleColors.insert(std::pair<std::wstring, int>(YouCharname, Youcolor));

Originally Posted by JellyBitz Yes, that's the most important part here, keep the titles/info updated. And not just for yourself (as above mentioned) but everyone, that's the point! 1. Save any update title successfully request to some database table as NorseGodTyr said. 2. Spawn tracking! This will give you more possibilities to update many other aspects in game if you didn't before. Everytime a player spawns near to your character, you'll retrieve that extra information from that player (title at this case) from database. The right way is by using server side only (Filter) but client side is also possible. From Filter (server side filter-database), you will: - Send a title update if exists (you'll ask directly title info to database) to the character after every teleport. - Detecting player spawns around the player and send the title update as above. The only difference making it client side is removing the packet parsing from filter but is nothing to worry about. I already saw too much improvable code on many filters code, this would be like nothing. :p How to detect spawns? You can take a look [Only registered and activated users can see links.
