I''ve got a strange problem with my networking wrapper. It works fine as long as I either run it from 2 different computers or split the client/server part in 2 seperate apps. But I wanted my game to use the singleplayer mode like qIII does: A server is started and the local player connects to it. So I start the server as independent thread and let the client connect to it (127.0.0.1). But if I send packets (TCP), they are returned to the socket they came from :S. Do I have to add special flags to the socket to avoid that? Visit: Lejendz

Special flags? nope

All you need is to use two different port numbers over two different sockets.

I personally did this over UDP, and it worked fine....... By the way, since you want to make an FPS, you should consider UDP as well.

Thx for your reply, I''ll try it out :D.
The networking wrapper was designed for a MMO game and as most of the packets are important, we decided to use TCP. The game I want the localhost for is a simple but cool 3d version of pong.

You must have something wrong in your observations to observe that a tcp client has sent packets to itself.

ype, it works now :D. The client and server were sharing the sockets and the server didn''t recognize if the socket was already in use, so he connected the same socket with itself.
