How to send S->C Value and object packet to client ???

[Kardil]

Hey guys,
I'm having this issue which is when i send a S->C packet to client it appears only as an object without value ... meaning is when i am inside and send it it appears just like a shape ( client sided only ) but after restarting char it disappears.
so how to send it full with value and its object ???

there is no such thing, if you want that to be a REAL item you have to write it to gameserver's memory or write it to database and gs will get it the next time you spawn

[Kardil]

then how to send packet to specific player ???

[sarkoplata]

On your server filter (whatever youre using) you must keep a list of the online characters and when youre going to send a packet to that specific player just bring it from the list using linq. To demonstrate:

OnUserLogin -> UserList.Add(this);
OnUserExit -> UserList.Remove(this)

To retreive write a simple linq function and find that user's sockets so you can send the packet
FindUser(UserList, "testchar").clientsocket.Send(mypacket);

Hope that clears your mind

I think i can make the list but the socket thing has a send but not for packets, so ????

nah you wont send directly from the socket, you'll send through the security object
assuming you're with the drew api cuz its like standart right now

i knew you would say that ^^ , i need to know how to connect socket with the security assuming using filter for packets

or well just create a packet handler

[Kardil]

is packet handler like filter which analyse incoming and outgoing packets ???
I have that , what i need is to send from this filter a packet to specific player like sending welcome message to the one who has just logged in . got it ?

[KingDollar]

it's depends on your filter code
just handle load character msg and send packet with private notice

ye as example

if packet.Opcode = 0x3305
{
Packet notice_to_char = new Packet(0x3026);
notice.WriteUInt8(7);
notice.WriteAscii("Welcome msg");
SendPacketToClient(notice_to_char);
}

}
