aqsock_client

Here is the first alpha of my socket client extension. It is riddled with bugs, but it has the functionality!

The server object will come a bit later- I want to find a better way to add actions/conditions/expressions on the fly than recicking each time.

Please rename it to Client.mfx to avoid confusion.

Have a look at turboFerret's modified SDK. There is a really nifty way of adding actions later more easily.

I'll create you an icon if you want.

For the window which is displayed when you drop the extension, please don't forget to make it with title bar, it's strange however.

PS: Happy birthday Andos ! ;)

Thanks ;)

Happy Birthday :).

Happy birthday Andos!

I reposted this thread in the public forums- http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=26862&page=1

Since the object has gone public I have created a Wiki page here.

The name of this extension is AQSock no ? Because "Client" is not precise enought...

I believe the name of the object is AQSock Client.

Well under ClickWiki conventions that we have developed the objects article is Called "Client Object" The name is the name that appears in the insert object dialog box. The name always will carry the word "Object" to signify that it is an extension. If the author wants it to be publicly called something else then its a redirected alias. So the user will always find it.

Before you say it should be called "AQSock Client" at the ClickWiki, the reason it is done this way is because the ClickWiki is centered around the user and not the developer. It is to make it easy for the user to find the extension in the insert dialog box. Also when examining a piece of code it makes it easy to find information about the object.

As we have all come across extension names that bear no resemblance to the extensions purpose, the ClickWiki overcomes this problem by having a page called "Common Problems" which uses key words to link to the extension. eg. "The Big Box Object" Could you tell me what this object does from the top of your head?

So I hope this clarifies how naming articles is done at the ClickWiki.

The extension is an implementation of the aqsock_client library, and it is called the client object.

Jam do you have a web link to the aqsock client library? I looked it up on google and found no reference. I wanted to write an intro for the ClickWiki to the object.
