Gameserver Ping doesnt work?

[Rexima]

Hi Aren,

i tried to get an Ping from the Gameserver, but i get no one?

This is my test script:

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.IO;
3. using TNet;
4. using System.Net;
5.  
6. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     void Update()
9.     {
10.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.P))
11.         {
12.             TNManager.Ping(Tools.ResolveEndPoint("127.0.0.1", 6192), OnPing);
13.         }
14.     }
15.  
16.     void OnPing(IPEndPoint ip, int ms)
17.     {
18.         Debug.Log(ms);
19.     }
20. }

TCP: 6192
UDP: 6193

I tried both, but with no effect.

You can't ping a TCP socket. Only UDP.

[Rexima]

Yes, but if i try to ping UDP, i get no answer, too.

[ArenMook]

UDP should work, assuming you use the latest TNet version and the port is actually reachable. Seems to work as expected on my end.

[Rexima]

I have the latest version running.

I took your example and try it with this. Same result, no Ping answer:



And yes, i changed the udp port on the local hosted gameserver, too.

OnGUI code runs several times per frame. Putting a Ping() in there is a very bad idea.

You can't ping the server from itself. Try running TNServer.exe, then doing a ping.

1.                                 // NOTE: I am using 'internalAddress' here because I know all servers are hosted on LAN.
2.                                 // If you are hosting outside of your LAN, you should probably use 'externalAddress' instead.
3.                                 if (GUILayout.Button(ent.internalAddress.ToString(), button))
4.                                 {
5.                                         //TNManager.Connect(ent.internalAddress, ent.internalAddress);
6.                                         //mMessage = "Connecting...";
7.  
8.                                         System.Net.IPEndPoint ip = new System.Net.IPEndPoint(ent.internalAddress.Address, serverTcpPort + 1);
9.                                         TNManager.Ping(ip, OnPing);
10.                                 }

Edit: Although trying the same thing myself I see that it's being sent out but I am not getting a response back in the TNet's base example. Looking into it...

[ArenMook]

Ah yes, found the issue. Open up TNGameServer.cs, line 308:

1. else if (buffer.size > 4)

Change it to be:

1. else if (buffer.size > 0)

Thank you for this.

Can you tell me maybe, how to get the Ping from any player?

Should all players send every 5 or 10 seconds, to others players?

I want it, for the ingame TAB information, and for the lobby.

[ArenMook]

The way I did it in Windward is I send a broadcast packet to everyone connected to the server -- a "who's there?" packet. Each client then responds with a private message to the player that sent the packet, sending their name, faction, ping, etc. The original player that sent the broadcast receives these packets one at a time and prints the result to chat.

Okay sup, thank you.
