Vp connect universe

Method call snippet vp_connect_universe(instance, "universe.virtualparadise.org", 57000);

Connects an instance to a universe server. Required before an instance log in with user credentials and connects to any world.

Parameters

These are the parameters that this method requires:

Parameter	Usage
VPInstance instance	Pointer to the instance this method call is intended for
string host	Host address of server to connect to; typically "universe.virtualparadise.org"
int port	TCP port of remote server; typically 57000

Returns

This method returns a return code integer, which indicates whether the call was successful or errored for any reason:

Return code	Cause
VP_RC_SUCCESS	Successful call (for methods that have a registered callback, it only means the request has been sent)
VP_RC_CONNECTION_ERROR	Error connecting to the universe server

Behavior

• If a VP_CALLBACK_CONNECT_UNIVERSE callback is set this function will return immediately and return the result using the callback, otherwise it will call vp_wait() in a loop until done.

Caveats

To disconnect from a universe, vp_destroy() must be called.

Examples

int rc;

rc = vp_connect_universe(instance, "universe.virtualparadise.org", 57000);
if(rc)
    printf("Couldn't connect to universe(reason %d)", rc);
