world/OpenPort()
    ..()
    if(client.CheckPassport("[Passport code here]"))
        return ..()


Okay,what I'm trying to accomplish is making it so you must be subscribed to the game to host. How can i accomplish this with what i have so far?

Well no it does not because i get the compile error
System\World Status.dm:15:error:client.CheckPassport:undefined proc

Which is why i asked if that was the correct way or not.

Call the if() at Login, and then if it is the host then give them a var equal to one. Then make an if() in the OpenPort() if(var) then do what ever...
Nov 30 2004, 11:37 am
client/New()
if(!world.port)
Host=src
world/OpenPort()
if(Host.CheckPassport("CODE")
..()

var/client/Host

client
    New()
        ..()
        if(!world.port)
            host=src.mob.client
world/OpenPort()
    ..()
    if(host.CheckPassport("1......."))
        return ..()


Still getting the compile error.

A) Get the first ..() out of there.
B) What's the error?

How did you define host?
Nov 30 2004, 11:46 am
In response to Airjoe
 
var
    host=null


Please note this is a world var.

Okay time to explain this to me. What if they are hosting from dream-dameon? Will it check to see if they are subscribed still?

I have to wait for version 342? Darn. I wasn't expecting to wait a long time. Any other ways of accomplishing this?

Not from DreamDaemon. DreamDaemon doesn't use keys right now and therefor can't check passports. Won't DS work for now? There's not much of a difference.

Well if i do (!world.port) on client new it wont work in DS. I dont want people to be able to host on DS anyways. I guess i shall wait for v342 to continue my project then.

Couldn't you just work around that...I mean if you stop your project for just a little thing like that. >.>

I'd remove the first ..() line, since you don't need to call that twice. In fact there's almost never any need to call ..() more than once in a proc.

Note that this will only prevent games from being hosted in DS. In Dream Daemon they can still be hosted, and it's much harder there to tell who's hosting. If this is something like an MMORPG, you could probably do something like this to limit DD hosting to subscription only:
var/list/clients = new

client/New()
  ..()
  clients += src
  if(port && !CheckPassport("[Passport code here]"))
    src << "You are not an authorized host of this game."
    del(world)
