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
Hostname of uniserver; typically "universe.virtualparadise.org"
int
port
Port of uniserver; 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_NOT_INITIALIZED SDK not initialized with vp_init() yet
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;
if(rc = vp_connect_universe(instance, "universe.virtualparadise.org", 57000))
    printf("Error connecting to universe (reason %d)\n", rc);
