[ENet-discuss] sending struct data

[Andrew Fenn]

I tried adding a terminator to the end of the char with no results.

Here's the output of what I am receiving on the client..

Packet contains name: "��j�/�h��
                                
�O\�H��'�
                                           ��� Player" connection
state: 0x00000003 was inside.

Here's some more code for the server...

Player player;
strcat(player.name, "Player");
player.conState = 0x0003;

message(mEvent.peer,&player,sizeof(player),0,ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE);



bool Server::message(ENetPeer *peer,const void* msg, size_t size,
                                       enet_uint8 channel, enet_uint32 priority)
{
    bool result = true;
    ENetPacket * packet = enet_packet_create (msg, size, priority);

    if (enet_peer_send(peer, channel, packet) <0)
    {
        result = false;
    }

    enet_host_flush(mServer);
    return result;
}
