Web GameLauncherEx

[Zaytron]

I'm currently testing out LegitLisa's gamelauncherex but I somehow can't use domain DNS Host as my IP , any help with this ?

I receive firewall error ( saying server's down ) each time I hit 'Play'.
I've tested to make sure my server is really online by switching the DNS Host name to a IP address , works perfectly.



Apparently , it's a problem with this

injector.CallExport<IPInfo>(dll, "SetIP", new IPInfo(ip));

&

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct IPInfo
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 15)]
public string IP;

public IPInfo(string ip)
{
IP = ip;
}
}

Still requiring help on how to make these allow DNS Host names instead of IP

does it work with the IP? are you using localhost? link to launcher thread.

Yes , it works with a normal IP.

I don't believe in C# ip and http are translated into each other. if

(example IP) try

You must be registered to see links

you may be missing the http. If not then "IP" is set to be just that. an IP. Why don't you want it connecting to the ip anyways? DNS/IP same thing except one links to the other through a domain.

C# has that 'translated' if that's how you say it , I've tested using Vicious Redirector with my current DNS Host as mywebsite.com & it works perfectly fine. But I'd prefer using Legitlisa's release as it allows my players to go through the download page.

The pain in the butt is this part at the moment. the IPInfo(ip) is the one that doesn't allow me to use my DNS Host. Any ways to somehow change this function to allow usage of DNS Host ?

if (ip != IPAddress.Loopback.ToString())
injector.CallExport<IPInfo>(dll, "SetIP", new IPInfo(ip));

It's linked with this , so I'm not so sure which is the one stopping me from using a DNS Host , any help ?

public IPInfo(string ip)
{
IP = ">i've placed my website here<";
}
}

 

[Rakeda]

Just copy paste the IP connection method from vicious redirector

 

[Zaytron]

Hmm , I don't really get that.
I doubt there's this same function I'm looking for in Vicious.

-Still requiring help.



Needing urgent help.

redirector specifically takes the IP ADDRESS no the DNS NAME. if you want to use your DNS name u need to resolve it first. check this out

itll help you

I'll read that up & try to get my problem fixed.
So from what I know , I've confirmed that

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct IPInfo
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 15)]
string IP;

public IPInfo(string ip)
{
IP = ">inserted my ip here<";
}
}

Is what causing me not able to use the DNS Host so from you're help , I've found this in vicious redirector which seems helpful. :

public static void getIP()
{
IPHostEntry entry = Dns.GetHostEntry(ip );
if (entry.AddressList.Length > 0)
ip = entry.AddressList[0].ToString();
}

How am I suppose to merge it with the one above then ?

 

[Zaytron]

Bump- Still can't figure what to do.

How do I resolve my IPInfo ?

Bump- Still can't figure what to do.

How do I resolve my IPInfo ?

var entry = Dns.GetHostEntry("ur domain");
var ip = entry.AddressList[0].ToString();

...

var ipInfo = new IPInfo(ip);

 

[Zaytron]

Thank you so much.

How did you end up fixing it? o-o I'm having trouble understanding what he meant


[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct IPInfo
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 15)]
public string IP;

public IPInfo(string ip)
{
var entry = Dns.GetHostEntry("t55.linkoc.net");
var ip = entry.AddressList[0].ToString();
var ipInfo = new IPInfo(ip);
}
}
thats what I have o;
