Title: Support for separate packet definition files safe from TNet file updates?
Post by: bac9 on August 27, 2014, 03:59:11 AM
Quite minor problem, but I'm curious if it's possible to fix it. At the moment you are adding your custom packets directly into TNet code, which obviously becomes a problem if an update contains any of those files, as that will wipe your packets out. I'm on a relatively safe side with the version control, as I can check the old version again and copy the missing stuff, but that won't be the case for every user. Is there a way to separate custom packets into standalone files so that this situation won't arise no matter what TNet files are updated in the coming versions?

When adding your custom packets, have them start at some high number, like 200.

  1. public enum Packet
  2. {
  3.  
  4.         /// <summary>
  5.         /// Empty packet. Can be used to keep the connection alive.
  6.         /// </summary>
  7.  
  8.         Empty,
  9.  
  10.         /// <summary>
  11.         /// This packet indicates that an error has occurred.
  12.         /// string: Description of the error.
  13.         /// </summary>
  14.  
  15.         Error,
  16. .....
  17.  
  18.         RequestActivateUDP,
  19.  
  20.         /// <summary>
  21.         /// Sync the specified player's 'data' property. This packet will be echoed to everyone except the sender.
  22.         /// int32: Player ID who's data should be synchronized.
  23.         /// object: Player's data.
  24.         /// </summary>
  25.  
  26.         SyncPlayerData,
  27.  
  28.         YourCustomPacket = 200,
  29.         YourSecondCustomPacket,
  30.         YourThirdCustomPacket,
  31. }
