Anyone know how to program JAVA? (PBW RTC)
 
Anyone has more specifics on the PBW RTC?

I only have some info on the ports.
I'll need:
What to send to the PBW server, in which form?
What do I get back?

I program in Delphi and would need this info for a on-going project.

I've tried viewing the RTC JAR archive in a hex editor and notepad, but that didn't make me much wiser.
I've never done any substantial Java programming, so is there someway to see the JAR file in a way that makes some sense, i e what it does??


(I'll be away a week so you have a week to reply to this post).

Not sure how it works but you should know that if PBW goes down while you're using it, poof! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That shouldn't be too hard to program against.

Edit: It seems it could be opened by any archive program, duh...

Still, any help on the mechanics is appreciated.
Will delve into the files now.

Edit2: Hmm, these files won't help me much it seems, I knows to little Java to get any reasonable info out of viewing them in notepad.

If you have the source files, I could look them over and comment-ify them to what I think the code is doing. I'm reasonably experienced in Java...

Actual code though. I won't be able to do anything with bytecode.

It can be found in the File sections on the PBW server in official PBW server files, the RTC.
It's not byte files I belive.

(As I said, I'm going away tomorrow, will be grateful for all help I'll get , will check this post in a week!)

Just got around to it. The files in the .jar file are bytecode, so there isn't much I can do. (*.java files are source, *.class are compiled bytecode).

Sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Ok, thanks for the try though.
Will find another way.
