         * Sends a packaged message including a string using the connection.     
         *                                                                       
         * The packet has to define a 8-byte-aligned, 8-char string at the end   
         * of the packet. When the packet is sent the whole string is appended   
         * to the packet, so that the receiver has to do nothing special to      
         * receive and use the full packet.                                      

Have a look at the NodeConfigInitPacket send by the server, and processed by the client.

I know this is not very programmer-friendly, these parts of the eq::net API are not yet finalized and documented.


Cheers,

Stefan.

<br><br>&gt; Hi again, 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; I've been trying to send extra data into the packet, but I'm not sure how to grab the &quot;extra&quot; data from the other end once I call: 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; Session::send (NodePtr node, SessionPacket &packet, const std::string &text) 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; I'm able to grab everything inside the packet, but I have no idea where the other bit went and I can't find any documentation regarding this. 
<br>&gt; 
<br>&gt; Any thoughts?
