Every now and then I am getting an error when starting AGS:

Quote
There was an error loading plugin 'agssock.dll'.

Unable to load plugin 'agssock.dll'. It may depend on another DLL that is missing.

After some time (or maybe some actions) it loads fine.

A small update on this problem.
I was working on my project on different computer for few days, and this error never occured to me (although it was reoccuring every now and then before).
The difference is that it has Windows Vista installed (as opposed of Win7) and not a part of any net (nor connected to Internet).
I have the same issue. It appears from time to time, then I make it disappear by opening./closing/rebuilding/rebooting/etc. I'm never sure what fixes it. It seems to happen randomly and disappear randomly. I have Win7, I use AGS 3.3.0 RC1.

I just wanted to mention, WyZ did not update this forum thread for a long while, but this plugin source is now hosted on github:
https://github.com/FTPlus/AGSsock

And here are recent releases:
https://github.com/FTPlus/AGSsock/releases

For the reference, here's AGS Awards client code that uses this plugin and is basically a big example of a network client:

Yes true, there have been some discussions in other threads about the plug-in though.

The status right now is:
Code-wise, the plug-in is ready for release, but there is no documentation. I looked for some assistance for this, as it is not really my forte, and I'm pretty busy anyways. Eri0o has joined in; and things are moving again, although I'm not sure how fast. If anyone has ideas for tech demos or code examples please share; if its doable, I'll happily crank that out. Note that the AGS Awards ceremony is based on a tech-demo I once made with the plug-in.

When this final stage is done, I'll make a new thread, and put in some fireworks or something. ;)

I hope to add some modules that make use of the plug-in, like a HTTP client for instance.
Life is like an adventure without the pixel hunts.
