Title: upload image to server
Post by: acronyte on October 19, 2017, 06:02:45 PM
I know unity has www form to save images to a server through a php or cgi script on the server, but how is this done through tnet? Im thinking it has something to do with saving bytes of a texture and uploading that data to server? I dont know where to begin...

Custom packet handler and byte array? Add handler on server to save byte array to disk. TNet has built-in serialization for Unity's Texture2D, so you don't even need byte array. It uses Texture2D.EncodeToPNG under the hood.

I managed to get this done using tnet save .... ::)
  1.  IEnumerator ProcessPicture()
  2.     {
  3.         // We should only read the screen after all rendering is complete
  4.         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
  5.  
  6.         // Create a texture the size of the screen, RGB24 format
  7.         int width = Screen.width;
  8.         int height = Screen.height;
  9.         var tex = new Texture2D(width, height, TextureFormat.RGB24, false);
  10.  
  11.         // Read screen contents into the texture
  12.         tex.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, width, height), 0, 0);
  13.         tex.Apply();
  14.  
  15.         // Encode texture into PNG
  16.         byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();
  17.         //Destroy(tex);
  18.  
  19.         StartCoroutine(UploadPicture(bytes));
  20.     }
  21.  
  22.  
  23. IEnumerator UploadPicture(byte[] b)
  24.     {
  25.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
  26.  
  27.         TNManager.SaveFile("filename" , b);
  28.  
  29.     }

Im now trying to download that file , and apply it to a texture. All works well, except however, I randomly sometimes receive a "Malformed data packet" when downloading.

  1. public void GetPicture()
  2.     {
  3.         TNManager.LoadFile("filename.bytes", OnLoadFile);
  4.     }
  5.  
  6.     void OnLoadFile(string filename, byte[] data)
  7.     {
  8.         if (data.Length == 0)
  9.         {
  10.  
  11.         }
  12.         else
  13.         {
  14.  
  15.             Debug.Log("download picture a success!");
  16.             Texture2D tex;
  17.             tex = new Texture2D(4, 4, TextureFormat.DXT1, false);
  18.             tex.LoadImage(data);
  19.             tex.Apply();
  20.  
  21.             mytexture.texture = tex;
  22.         }


Unity says the "Malformed data packet" error is coming from 'GetPicture' function.

Which version of TNet? I used your exact code w/ TNet 3.0.9 and received no errors.

I managed to solve getting the "Malformed data packet" error.....

In my code where is says
  1. // Encode texture into PNG
  2.         byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToPNG();

I changed that to
  1. // Encode texture into JPG
  2.         byte[] bytes = tex.EncodeToJPG(30);

which basically saves as a jpg rather than a png.... The difference between the two save types is a larger resulting file (png larger than jpg)....

The orginal code saved the png at 400kb, while the new code saves as jpg at 20kb...

I can only assume the error was caused by the size of the file?

TNet should support packets up to 16777216 bytes (16 MB).

I'd say it's more likely an issue with the Buffer class not packing the packets properly. I recall there being a bug with Buffer's length or size property back in TNet 2, don't remember if it was officially fixed.

Either way, glad you found a workaround :)

In Sightseer I let server admins upload their own flag textures, and I've seen fairly large ones (>700 kb) being used without issues. Can't say I've ran into the "malformed data packet" error. Maybe the SaveFile didn't have a chance to complete?
