Using lacewing atm and trying to create a simple online chat.
I am using 2 different clients and connect successfully to Klikfarms server and then a channel on each simultaneously under different Names.
When I sent a text message to the server and check for it to be received on the other end, it never gets received.
Heres how the code goes after the connection part.
Edit box has Text + Upon Pressing Enter
- Send Text from edit box to server on subchannel 0
- Empty Edit Box
On Text Server Message on Subchannel 0 sent
- Add line Received$(Lacewing) to list object
This results in nothing happening.
I've even tried changing animations of an object when a message is received, adding random text, edit boxes, etc. I've also followed one of the original guides for OINC, a members guide here, and another members examples and this snippet of code looks pretty much the same in both (minus the fact that some use peer or channel instead of server)
Any ideas?

Have you tried changing that one difference? Using peer or channel?
Something is itching at the back of my head saying server messages are dealt with differently, but I'm sure I'm just crazy.
Would it be possible to share the mfa?

Try using send to CHANNEL and not server. Then your method should work.

What you're doing is sending a message to the server. If you're using a public server that means you're sending a message directly to their box and if you're using a local server (the CMD-styled window) then you're sending the message to that application. The server must be coded to reply to your messages, so when it receives your message, by default, it does nothing. Your On Text Server Message condition works the same way, expecting a message from the server, which it will never send.
You need to change those "Servers" to "Channel" which well send a message to all of the other players who are on the channel, as Sumo148 described.

I'm using klikfarms servers.
I have tried all three methods and none have worked. I will try one more time and post the MFA if I can't figure it out. Thanks

Then are you sure your connecting to the server correctly and using a valid username? It should go somewhat along the lines of...
1. Start of frame > Connect to server.klikfarm.com on port 6121
2. On Connect > Set username to "anything"
3. On Username Set > Join channel "anything"
4. On channel join > Send text "blah" to channel on subchannel 0
5. On channel text message on subchannel 0 > do whatever you want

Take a look at the example that are provided in the Lacewing Forums. They show basic examples of how to get a game up and running.

I have read it and followed it =/. Maybe I'm missing something small. I haven't exactly had time to check on it again so I'll post back when I do.
@sumo
thats pretty much how I did it. I haven't had time to double check it yet, sorry.

maybe try a different server? "aquadasoft.com on port 6121" is better than klikfarm. It's pretty much twice as fast too.
