You don't need to buy a server to send and grab data from, you can use any micro-processing device.

Why can't you just use the device you're using to post on this forum for it?

Never did networking tasks with TS, want to run me through the process?

Explain exactly what you want to do.

You don't necessarily have to use TS. If you want to use something else, I recommend writing something in Python using either SocketServer or twisted.

Something like an irc for example (not what i'm trying to do though).

2 clients have a GUI with a text control and a text edit control.

One sends, "hi" from the text edit control.

It gets sent to my server, and is sent to the other client and that client's text control is set to, "hi".

Like instant messaging?
You have two options, you can have each client connect to the other directly, or through a server.

A server will do, want to point me in the right direction?

Well, you could write the server in torque, or like port stated, in Python. If you host a 24/7 blockland server, then doing it in torque is ideal. However, if not, python would be more suitable because you can run it on a remote server more easily. Thing is, I never bothered to learn python :P

What does hosting have to do with anything?

And I'd like to keep it all in one language thanks.

Fluff-is-back · April 28, 2012, 05:50:26 AM

Well it would have to work like this:
Client sends message,
Message is received by server,
Server sends it to the recipient,
Recipient receives the message.

If you want it all in one language then you will have to do it in Torque, and for this to be ran you will need to have blockland running 24/7.
