Now. What is an ini file?

An initialization file, which is used by an application to store configuration data that is read as the program is starting.

And he plans on basing a whole server off of ini files? XD

As stated before seriously, what hadeset did with INI's sucks. Nobody knows how to optimize INI's far enough to make it work or at least compensate for what MySQL provides other than myself (or at least, I don't know anyone else who can).

Keep in mind, you question could both be about conquer programming, or general programming, anything thats not currently public won't be released from me (i.e. how do I decrypt password hex dumps? Won't be answered because the knowledge isn't public).

Hey on my server, I'm trying to load a timer interval from a .ini file but i keep getting the same error..

i never usually have problems like this but this is taking the piss, I've only been doing c# a few months,

Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'double'

errored line:

            restart.Interval = RestartTime;

This is the stuff

                Ini server_ = new Ini(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + @"server.ini");
                RestartTime = server_.ReadValue(Convert.ToString("Server"), "restart");

Change this :

Ini server_ = new Ini(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + @"server.ini");
RestartTime = server_.ReadValue(Convert.ToString("Server"), "restart");

To

Ini server_ = new Ini(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + @"server.ini");
RestartTime = Convert.ToDouble(server_.ReadValue(Convert.ToString("Server"), "restart"));

But isn't the standard timers interval integer, not double?

Also you could try something like...

 public double ReadDouble(string Section, string Key, double Default)
        {
            double res;
            if (double.TryParse(ReadValue(Section, Key), out res))
                return res;
            return Default;               
        }

So is there a way to fix the problem with voice being to fast?

[InfamousNoone]

Rewind and listen again :P


@Tane:
double.Parse is faster than Convert.ToDouble

            return Default;               
        }

I get that error twice now, thanks for trying anyway

[hio77]

these videos are very helpfull keep it up lol

[InfamousNoone]

Added a guide on socket programming for client and server (over tcp), hoorah.

[hio77]

they are getting better and better keep it up!!

Well i got question i wann know if we start with this tut can we for example be able to crack an program ex: isrobot or tbot ( Bots For Silkroad Online)

[InfamousNoone]

Well in my latest lesson I provide a sample of my "System.NativeInterop" DLL which'll be continued out meaning users won't need to have knowledge of the CRT or native win32 api's. I'll get into messing with programs when I start doing lessons I declare "advanced".

You said at the start ask smart questions, And my question is exactly what you said.
How to create an IP ban function?
