Author Topic: Packet.SetReadPos() (Read 25857 times)

would you mind adding something like
Packet.SetReadPos()
Packet.GetReadPos()

That would certainly make some things easier ... (and it doesnt require more than 5 lines of code.)
thx in advance

Yep, I can add them.

What would you use them for ?

Well, I'm implementing some encryption layer protkol mixup...
got some problems, when I need to read the first 4 bytes multiple times...
drove me crazy yesterday.. (may it be, GetData() returns the pointer to data+myReadPos??)
I guess its my fault, since it did work... some time the day before yesterday -_-
not sure.. anyway.. stumbled over this nice thingy, and there certainly are some situations when you gonna need this one.
I would code that myself (won't take longer but 5mins) but honestly I already did change a bunch of things, and applying all this changes over and over again, every time you change something about one of the files is quite annoying

Well, you don't need to modify SFML for such simple changes. Just use external non-member functions.

Anyway, maybe I'll add these functions soon
