After Maik has clued me up about multiplayer properties -- that only those are transmitted, which actually exist at init time (which is why they need to be defined in the *-set.xml file), it was time to add some generic properties for "internal communication". That is: properties which aren't dedicated to a particular function, but can be used by an aircraft to send data to its mirror instances over MP.
There are for now: /sim/multiplay/generic/string[0-9] /sim/multiplay/generic/float[0-9] /sim/multiplay/generic/int[0-9] Of course, this should be used sparingly. If you need to transmit a path, don't transmit the full path, but only the parts that are really necessary. For example, the bo105 will only transmit "foo", when it actually means "Aircraft/bo105/Models/Variants/foo.xml". The prefix and the ".xml" postfix will be stripped. There's still the possibility to transmit "../../foo" if for some reason I want to refer to a file elsewhere. (I didn't add double/long/bool, as they would be transmitted as float/int/int, anyway.) In one of the next protocol revisions, we won't have to transmit these "single-shot" properties in every package (, I hope :-). m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
