Sending binary image data: client to server & server to clients
by Paul Griffiths · in Torque Game Engine · 06/06/2006 (10:19 am) · 7 replies
Hi I'm building a web cam capture addon to torque which now works, screenshot here: pgmedia.game-host.org/Site/TMessenger/screenshot.php
Now i wish to send the captured image to the server. I understand torque networking has commands commandToClient & commandToServer but i wish to send binary image data.
Anyone have any ideas?
I could convert the data to hexadecimal then back again, anyone got any pointers or code?
If i did use commandToServer how much string data can i send?

i very much recommend finding a better way, tho.
for example saving the files to local disk
and firing off a batch or bash script in the background to FTP them up to the server.
your pgmedia.game-host.org link times out for me, by the way.

So does anyone have code in c++ for decToHex and hexToDec?
06/06/2006 (10:46 am)
I found a script for decToHex but as torque script has no function to return the ASCII value of a character i won't be able to do hexToDec, So it's going to have to be in c++.So does anyone have code in c++ for decToHex and hexToDec?

Guess my isp won't let me host a server :(

i would look into the other binary transfer threads and resources first.
