There is a way of creating TP03 compatible objects in tpserver-cpp, but I much prefer to focus on TP04, with it's cleaner way of defining objects. jphr: look at minisec/planet.cpp in Planet::packExtraData(Frame* f). If your game has resources, then use code similar to that, otherwise packInt(0) is all you need to do. Also note that you might need to do the equivalent of OwnedObject::packExtraData() as well. > What specifically is the problem is that you are missing the length > value for the four element list ([jjjj]). I'm not sure how tpserver-cpp > works in this regard and how you are missing that list length. tpserver-cpp works in assuming the client is running TP04. There is extra programming required (that requires learning the frame format and using the frame object) to make it work for TP03. It is much simpler to program for TP04 *only*. Note that rfts even has a galaxy class, but doesn't use it because of how crappy TP03 is. I am working toward tp04 support in libtpproto-cpp currently (once I've finished, or in concert with, async support). > Tim 'Mithro' Ansell Later Lee
