Smart Fox Server Lobby

Question

This doesn't seem to have been asked, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying to make a lobby where someone can log in, then chat and choose a room to play in, which they can then go into via a "play now" button. But there are several problems: 1. Custom login I can't figure out how to make a custom login. I looked at examples but they were in css. Do I need to know that, because I'm good at Javascript? 2. Room select I made a list using GUI, but I don't know how to make the list clickable and move people into those rooms. Again, this is a beginner's kind of problem, but I couldn't figure this out through help 3. Play now After I added the play now button, I tried to see if it worked, and now I can't connect. At the admin tool it says the server is up,but I can't connect. I tried to edit the example's css, but it seems I messed up somewhere. can you show me where?

Thanks if you can help, I'm really new to Unity, and this is the first time I've used SFS to. I am familiar with Flash, and other scripting codes like Java, Ruby (1 and 2), HTML (duh), etc.

Heres the code I was trying to edit in the example lobby that (as you know) failed epically(lol did I spell this right?):

the Smartfox Server documentation has all the info you need for this, SFS and Unity code wise. I would check over on their side. http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/ Even more so as you are familiar with Flash most of the documentation examples are in AS which you can easily translate into C#

Its still hard to translate anything into a script you don't know... Thank you for the help, I will try there, but if you do figure out how to do it directly, that would be great :)

Better late than never. For a custom login you will need to code some stuff on the server side in java (not javascript). For an excellent tutorial on the basics of creating a serverside extension watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKGxhwJ0Ccc

Also, like Steffen mentioned, take another close look at http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs Chapter 8.3 shows how to create a simple database extension (not dealing with any javascript which you do not need at all by the way).

If you prefer javascript extension for your custom login you could use an older version of smartFox, which allows js.
