Hi,
I'm designing a server and client with DarkNET, but even with this small code:


I get an error stating "An error occurred in mnGetInt whilst getting data from a packet. The end of the packet was reached before all data could be extracted from the packet."

As you can see, I have absolutely no code whatsoever that uses "mn Get Int".
Can anybody explain?

Thanks,

Jeff

EDIT: After a reboot, it worked. But for how long...?
EDIT2: Still some weird things. I think something/someone is sending packages to my pc?

try this:


With your code I got a tcp error, when I set it to that it worked fine.

@PlanetaryFunk:
Thanks, but that gives me the same errors. My server (with more code) is acting weird too. The first player that connects is player 3... Then I disconnect and reconnect and the server crashes.

Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

The ports may be being used by another program, apparently all of these use ports 5555:

@PlanetaryFunk:
That seemed to do the trick!
Changed to 5557, which isn't in use, and no errors!
My theory was correct (I believe), because after leaving the server on for 3+ minutes, I got an error stating the buffers were full!

Thanks!

NP. I've needed plenty of help setting up a DarkNet server myself, so I've picked up a couple of things.

This error means you are trying to read data in a packet that isn't there e.g. I send a packet with 3 integers in it and then try to read 4 on the receiving end. When trying to read the 4th integer this error will appear.

I know. But the problem is that I didn't read ANYTHING yet!
Turned out I had my uTorrent (not a pirate, chill ) on at port 5555... The same as my game.

Ah right that makes sense, you probably had clients connecting to DarkNet sending unexpected data.
