TNet 3 Support / Re: Hosting bandwidth and server

« on: October 30, 2015, 01:44:38 PM »

Hello Aren,

Ok, I found some problems on my side and I was able to solve almost everything, but I need a better direction how to make it right, because my workaround is not the best one for sure.
- I was calling LoadLevel (from TNet) from both Host and Client, but I think only the host needs to call, right? I think this alone solved many sync problems (whatever this means)
- The game, somehow, was trying to call RFC methods with objects not ready in scene... I could delay this (I added some timers) but I still don't know how to know who is ready... how can I know?
- Even now, sometimes, that same problem happens: player A never receives message from other players (but now is rare, I think it has to do with my network connection)
There are other minor things that I need to check, but now it is playable.

The owner of your network object has nothing to do with your "game object owner" inside your game logic (well, not really, you could program so);
There is the host (or server) and there are the clients. The one who creates your object will be the owner, it does not matter your game logic on this, it is different than the network handling system.

Aren,

Is there a way to check if there is a package sending "forever"? Or to stop a send package and try again?
I cannot try in a very clean project, to replicate this it will give me too much work. But normal create and send seems to work.
I still think it is something as you said, with sending and receiving.
What is happening:
- Player A send chat to all: Player A and player B receives
- Player B send chat to all: Player B receives, player A never receives =/
- Player A send chat to all: Player A and player B receives again, normal

EDIT: ok, I discovered something interesting
If I use the "development build" on Unity, there are more problems.
If I don't use, I still receive some "[TNet] Trying to execute RFC #4 on TNObject #16777215 before it has been created." but it works after a few seconds.
So, if I use "dev build" it stops on the first message and all the game get broken.
This only happens with the "TNManager.CreateEx", so maybe I am doing something wrong... but it just works with those warning messages =/

EDIT2: ok, can confirm this, many of the problems are related to the "TNManager.CreateEx"
Either I am doing something wrong (you can see above) or it is broken

Hello Aren,

I am using both Send and SendQuickly, the second one just for position and animation.
No sync calls on update, for sure.
Last version is 2.1.1

I am sending normal string or int, nothing else...
Also, many problems seems to start, sometimes, after the "TNManager.CreateEx"... I will try with a clean project, but I really need this one working on the current project...
Thanks

Someone must own the object oO
Because, someone will create it (either the host or the client)

hello Aron,
the way you sent about the "set ready" is better... but it did not solve my problem =(
Even using

1. TNManager.playerDataNode.SetChild("_isReady", _networkIamReady);
2. TNManager.SyncPlayerData();
3.  

looks like the other player never receives the message (it does not matter if it is by your method or a RFC).
And then, after a few seconds (sometimes more than 20), client disconnects... I am testing in the same PC, 2 same builds... but I also tested through online with other people. Same problem. Something is making my connection to drop or something like that...

EDIT: ok, I'm about to give up =( (I was reading and searching for this more than 3h now).
It does not simply work...
Sending RFC, or doing the "SyncPlayerData" does not work... one or more players never receives the message. And sometimes, after a few seconds (or not at all), the client disconnects, no callback message, nothing. The "No valid socket" sometimes shows, sometimes not...
And the crazy part is: the players who could send messages, it still can send messages (everyone receives) and the ones who could not send, still cannot send... what the hell
It appears that, somehow, some players got blocked for sending messages (RFC, RCC, anything)...

Perfect, Aren, thank you very much for this.
By the way, do you know if the "disconnecting" problem has anything to do with this?

Hello cmifwdll

Thank you for your tips.
Actually, I am pretty much aware of data sync and how to avoid those lost data and too much bandwitdh use. I was just a little bit lost about some of the send / receive package on TNet.
I am actually having another problem now, I think it is still related to this, if you or Aron could me help, I really appreciate it.

I am sending tno.Send with RFC and sometimes, the message never reaches neither the host or the client.
I have checked other posts and questions.
- I am making channel persistent (but sometimes it fails either with true or false)
- I connect to a channel for a scene load and another channel for players "waiting to play". Then I just change the scenes to play a mission (it is a basic FPS at the moment), but I don't change the channel. Do you know if it is necessary to change the channel each time I change the scene? Or the TNet does it for me?
- I have tested now (it's been 2 days, the game logic is working good) and my main problem is this... sometimes a specific tno.Send does not work (I do believe it is something on my side, because it is only with one of my methods, not all). But I cannot find the damn problem =P

Code:

1. tno.Send("_Receive_ReadyToStartMatch", Target.AllSaved, _networkProfileActive._nameAlias);

It should receive here:

1. // ################################################################################################
2.         /// <summary>
3.         /// Receive answer that can start the mission
4.         /// </summary>
5.         [RFC] void _Receive_ReadyToStartMatch (string pName)
6.         {
7.                 MySystem.Instance._SaveLog(this.name, "NETWORK: Received ready to match from " + pName);
8.  
9.                 //How many players ready?
10.                 _playersReady++;
11.  
12.                 //Update
13.                 MySystem.Instance._HudForNetwork_UpdatePlayersReady(_playersReady);
14.  
15.                 //If all good, lets start
16.                 if (_playersReady >= _GetPlayersOnline && _IsHost)
17.                         _Send_StartMission();
18.         }

But sometimes it never gets to me... I am also wondering if it is something to do with the server I am creating (using TCP and UDP when possible)...
Any clue? Thanks in advance.


EDIT: Looks like when this happens, after some time, the player just disconnects... maybe it is something with the game creation? Or server?
EDIT2: also, sometimes, it shows "No valid socket" after some messages arrives, in this same code calls

Thanks for the detailed information @cmifwdll =)
I already know how the message / data is sent to one another (but your info also clarified some points, thanks), but my question really is: what PC will consume bandwidth, mostly?
I mean, the "operator" will take care of all the data to transfer or it will be the master server?
Will player A transfer same amount of data than player B and C (so, really, the master server will have the heavy load)? Or whoever be the host will handle this heavy load?

Thanks

Hello Aren,

Please, since someone can create a Server Instance and someone can be a host (been the same host and owner, or not), does the host always controls about sending the data between host and clients? I mean, let's say I have the following picture:
- I have a server instance, hosted on Amazon or any other full time 24 hours PC
- I have players A, B, C
- Player A connects and creates a channel (a room, for him to player with friends)
- Player B and C connects to this channel
- Is it the player A who keeps consuming his own bandwidth or is it the server instance?

This can change how I am implementing the game.
Thanks in advance.

I am using version 2.1.1 but "isListening" is still read-only =/
You said " I haven't updated TNet since mid-august. It's overdue for an update at this point... I'll see if I can release it within a week." ... so, is this already the new version?

Hey Aren, please, do you know when you can check about the listener?
It will really help me here (I will do exactly as you said - no one will enter until I really want to)
Thanks

Hello Aren,

Sorry the long delay to check here.
Thank you for your feedback.

I am not using TNAutoJoin if that was you said... I am using direct connection and listening to channel connection also.
I will check about the gameID and I let you know.

EDIT:
Aren, by the way, where I can get the "isListening"? I tried on the "TNServerInstance" and "TNet", I did not find it, the one in TNServerInstance is read only (get)

Aren, trust me, I have experience with Photon (I made of the first tutorials to connect Photon with an external database and using PHP), SmartFoxServer, Unity native Networking, Forge, uLink... and TNet is the easiest way of implemeting network and it does work good although I am not "the expert" in those systems, I already made many tests and labs, TNet is the easiest way for sure.
