Disreguard my previous email, there was some stuff missing, and a poor way of dealing with other things. Use this one instead. Someone explain to me why in gods name does control have to be passed to game_loop_unix, when its declared outside anyways?
Anyways, here it is, a text file with the instructions on making rom listen to multiple ports Enjoy __________________________________________________________________ Steven ICQ#: 2711015 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __________________________________________________________________
First declare a variable outside of your main function for the new control. Goto the line that says: int port, control; and add port2,control2; inside your int main function do: you have to set port2 = to the new port number. You can either do: port2 = port+1; which will make your new port, one higher then your previous or read it in from a file, or from the argument list when you execute rom. Either way you should be able to figure this out. now look for where you execute init_socket in main. and copy it for the new control. Basically add: control2 = init_socket( port2 ); then add: close( control2 ); under where it closes the first one. now in stock rom, this is what you do. I have a modified version but it should still work. Under polling active descriptors add: FD_SET(control2, &in_set ); then change maxdesc = control; to maxdesc = UMAX( control, control2 ); or if you know control2 will always be the highest, then just set maxdesc = to it. then under New Connections: add: if ( FD_ISSET( control2, &in_set ) ) init_descriptor( control2 ); this will cause the mud to listen to the new port.
