Bitstream::setBuf.. need explination

by Matthew Shapiro · in Torque Game Engine · 12/14/2002 (11:42 am) · 1 replies

I'm trying to use the BitStream class for the master server, and i'm trying to put the data that torque sends the master server into the bitstream class so I can parse it. The function I found to do this was Bitstream::setBuffer( void *buf, S32 size, S32 maxsize); right now the buffer in the master server is a char [1600] (according to torque's platform/event.h:27 the max packet size for torque is 1500 so we just over engineered a bit). Now my question is in regards to the size nad maxsize variables. What's the difference between these?

Well, size is the size of the data currently in the buffer, and maxsize is the maximum amount of data that can be put into the buffer.
