adventures in upgrading from Tnet2 to Tnet3

[phoenix]

Hi Aren,
I just wanted to document my adventures upgrading from Tnet2 to Tnet 3

The first issue I came across and resolved was the create methods
Tnet2
TNManager.Create(PrefabGameObject,false);
Tnet3
TNManager.Instantiate("OnCreate1",PrefabGameObject.name,false);

Now I need to put the PrefabGameObject in the resources folder whereas before I had an array of GameObjects on TNManager. I gather from the examples that this is the preferred/best way to instantiate in Tnet3?

The next Issue I had was getting the local IP, on my Mac my network interface status comes up as unknown for some reason so I had to change the code
for TNTools static public List<NetworkInterface> networkInterfaces and add

(ni.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up ||
ni.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Unknown))

Not sure why this was changed from Tnet2 to Tnet3 but I personally need to include  OperationalStatus.Unknown
                  

TNServerInstance is a  MonoBehaviour
which I had to comment out  TNServerInstance {// : MonoBehaviour
This is the same in Tnet2 and Tnet3, is there any particular reason why TNServerInstance is a monobehavior?


And then replaced all the broadcast function handlers to handle the events directly (easy)

Now as per our discussion in this http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=14881.0 I have realized that the new Channels functionality solves the need for the rest of my Tnet 2 customization's and the next step will be to get back to the main Tnet3 code base with only the minor modifications noted above.

The Operation.Unknown is already like that in TNet 3. What version are you using?

1.                                 foreach (NetworkInterface ni in list)
2.                                 {
3.                                         if (ni.Supports(NetworkInterfaceComponent.IPv4) &&
4.                                                 (ni.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up ||
5.                                                 ni.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Unknown))
6.                                                 mInterfaces.Add(ni);
7.                                 }

The TNServerInstance is a MonoBehaviour because it needs the OnDestroy notification. If you choose to make it single threaded (#define SINGLE_THREADED) it also uses the Update function. I'm not sure why you were trying to change it.

I had to change the function

static public List<IPAddress> localAddresses
the line of code
if (ni == null || ni.OperationalStatus != OperationalStatus.Up) continue;

changed to
                     if (ni == null || ni.OperationalStatus != OperationalStatus.Up){
                        if(ni==null){
                           continue;
                        }
                        else{
                        }
                     }
This is not good code but shows where the problem is

Ah, I see. I'll make proper changes, thanks.
