Can someeone tell me where to find the list of changes from DarkNet 1 to 2?

My game no longer runs and it looks like it's mainly because of the new profile system.

I looked in the documentation that came with it but I did not see anything about upgrading from 1 to 2. I swear I something on the TGC DarkNet page when 2.0 was first released, or maybe I was seeing things.

Thanks.

The profile system is quite straightforward. Instead of applying settings to a specific instance, you apply the settings to an instance profile and pass this profile to any instances that you want to apply the settings to.

Mike,

It looks like the editor won't even recognize mnSetLocal as a valid command anymore -- I get "Could not understand command" in the old editor and "Could not determine parameter type" in the new editor.

But maybe this is just a problem with my configuration? The documentation (without any examples) for mnSetLocal is still PRESENT in the 2.0 install... soooo, does that mean it's a viable command, or doesn't it work at all anymore under 2.0?

OK Mike, tell me what I'm doing wrong...

This code is throwing "an error occurred in mn::StartServer whilst binding a socket...NetSocketSimple.cpp... Error code 10049... version 2.0"



I waded through the Doxygen doco that was in the ZIP file and this is as far as I could get. I believe I'm setting up the profile correctly. The variable types I'm sending in all match your doco.

Also, where is the updated DBPro documentation ??? -- I found the latex and html in the ZIP file, but no HELP doco was updated when I ran the DBPro Installer

The problem is probably with the parameters being passed to mn set profile local. If you google the winsock erro code, the description seems to suggest that the local ip is invalid?

Yeah the doxygen generated html files were harder to link with DBPs help system so I never invested the time. The good news is that theres a search text box in the html help files (top right) so you shouldnt find it hard to get documentation for specific commands.
