TNServerInstance.MakePrivate();

[Sivand12]

Hi @all

How can a game server which is marked as private with TNServerInstance.MakePrivate being marked as public again?

Cheers

Once you mark it as private, it effectively stops listening for incoming connections. You can't make it public again without restarting it. Its ideal usage is to prevent people from joining when you know that you're going to be shutting down the server.

Would this also remove it from the Lobby or is there a command for doing that? Thinking here about removing the game server after an oppoent joined a match. In my game it is always 1vs1 so when someone joined I do not want the server listed any longer.

It gets removed automatically.

I do not understand. When does this happen automatically?

This is what I do now but want to do it the correct way if this is wrong...

1. protected void OnNetworkPlayerJoin(TNet.Player plr)
2. {
3.         if (isServer)
4.         {
5.                 BattlemassUI.Instance.ShowMessage("", "Opponent connected. Setting up match ...", BattlemassUI.Icon_Wait, true);
6.  
7.                 otherPlayer = plr;
8.                 state = State.WaitingToStart;
9.  
10.                 // client connected, remove self from server list
11.                 StopBroadcastingServer();
12.  
13.                 // send map data to client and wait for reply
14.                 tno.Send((byte)RFCs.OnMatchData, otherPlayer, Map.Instance.EnodeMapData());
15.         }
16. }
17.  
18. private void StopBroadcastingServer()
19. {
20.         if (state == State.Broadcasting)
21.         {
22.                 state = State.None;
23.                 TNManager.StopUDP();
24.                 if (GameGlobal.Instance.sessionType == SessionType.Internet)
25.                 {       // stop lobby link since this server is "full"
26.                         TNServerInstance.game.lobbyLink.Stop();
27.                 }
28.         }
29. }
30.

TNManager.StopUDP? Why are you calling that? All you need to do is stop the TCP lobby client (or UDP, whichever you're using) by disabling that monobehaviour.

[Leslie]

The UDP is activated when I want to broadcast a LAN game. I call this one functions to handle both LAN and Internet based games. I could probably have done a "if (GameGlobal.Instance.sessionType == SessionType.LAN)" for the StopUDP, but meh.. it does not error out.

ok.. so "TNServerInstance.game.lobbyLink.Stop();" is the right way? Just wanted to confirm.

[ArenMook]

No, just disable the client monobehaviour. It stops itself automatically. When you need it again, re-enable it.
