[edit] Miscellaneous
Root 09:27, 27 October 2006 (BST) Do we need a section on how to read the messages? As in the messages are streamed and not sent one by one?
//Freeone3000
I would say yes. I'm starting on one now.
Nice work, 3000, but you wrote it in such a way that it sounds like threading is _required_. Threading is not required, it's a way of programming which happens to be loved by some and hated by others. This is a neutral/independent wiki and it shouldn't favor anything. If you, however, mention threads you should also mention the alternatives, like I/O multiplexing (see functions select and poll in C).
Remember that the official client was fine for a long time with just one thread.

Yeah what you added was what we need, but to add to what Vegar has said, the C code perhaps needs a little explanation (split the code chunk up) so it's clearer what you're doing. This isn't a 'how to make a bot' kinda thing, but here as a independant reference for the protocol (hence the reason the links section is really only giving network libs and turorials etc). Nice work, please continue too help! Placid 16:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editing Policy Request
Edit by sections ONLY please....This prevents others from losing their work!
The following is kept for historical purposes
I wish to request a minor change
I just typed in a *lot* of information, somebody edited the page in the meantime. I am *NOT* going to merge the pages - can we have a flag on the main page at the top - "CURRENTLY BEING EDITED BY /NAME/" where name is your WIKI name or __NOBODY__ ??
// Placid
Sure, that's a good idea. You could save yourself further headaches by editing sections instead of the whole page though
// LabRat
A lot of the sections are difficult to keep track of doing one at a time, hence me hammering through half the required documentation in one shot. If you want the info I typed in, I put it at [1]
// Vegar
I think I managed to extract all your info from that file. Great work.
[edit] Desired Information
- I've changed the message examples section to provide a more structured & detailed list of examples. Right now, we have enough client to server examples, but no server to client . I think this might be helpful in further explaining how to read the protocol (writing and reading are quite different). Placid 15:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- More code examples (not just in C, perl, python etc) - some done, cleaning needed at EL Protocol Code Examples
- Actor image list? (Root 21:45, 26 October 2006 (BST))
- On the same related subject, maybe a list of clothing/skins/weapons/armors and their filenames to help with the new CUSTOM_LOOK functions, making custom clothing generation easier
[edit] Protocol Confirmation
The following protocols need to be confirmed by someone familiar with them:
- USE_MAP_OBJECT
- LOOK_AT_INVENTORY_ITEM
- MANUFACTURE_THIS
[edit] Edit sections instead of the whole page
Try to edit sections when you're adding to the Wiki to prevent people losing all their work, and save often.
