Send CustomPackets to LobbyServer

[Rexima]

How can i send CustomPackets to my LobbyServer?

i tried it, but it doesnt work.

Thats how i try it:

TNGameServer.cs:

1.     string remoteAddress = "censored";
2.     int remotePort = 25565;
3.     TcpProtocol mTcp = new TcpProtocol();
4.     IPEndPoint mRemoteAddress;
5. .
6. .
7. .
8. case Packet.RequestPlayerEmail:
9.             {
10.                 string playerEmail = reader.ReadString();
11.  
12.                 mRemoteAddress = Tools.ResolveEndPoint(remoteAddress, remotePort);
13.                 mTcp.Connect(mRemoteAddress);
14.                 mTcp.BeginSend(Packet.RequestPlayerID).Write(playerEmail);
15.                 mTcp.EndSend();
16.                 break;
17.             }
18. .
19. .
20. .
21.  

And here the Visual Studio Solution without UnityEngine (like your TNserver.zip):

TNTcpLobbyServer.cs

1. bool ProcessPacket (Buffer buffer, TcpProtocol tc)
2.         {
3. .
4. .
5. .
6.             case Packet.RequestPlayerID:
7.             {
8.                 string email = reader.ReadString();
9.  
10.                
11.                 mRemoteAddress = Tools.ResolveEndPoint("theGameServerIP", 6192);
12.                 tc.Connect(mRemoteAddress);
13.                 tc.BeginSend(Packet.ResponsePlayerID).Write("1");
14.                 tc.EndSend();  
15.  
16.                 break;
17.             }
18. .
19. .
20. .
21.  

TNPackets are on both Projects the same. I dont know what i can make better...

Connect() never finishes immediately. It only starts the connection process. You get the result some time later -- can even be seconds later -- by receiving OnNetworkConnect.

Bottom line: you can't send anything until after you receive an OnNetworkConnect response.

Thank you for the answer, helps me a lot

Is an custom package more efficient than tno.sendquickly?

Because i need to sync some states from the gameserver like loottable, last spawnposition etc. and i thought, that a custom package is more efficient, is it?

RFCs are better because you can save them on the server, and when a new player joins they get the RFCs automatically in the same order they were sent. With custom packets you have to do this manually. As I've been working on Windward I have not yet had any need to create custom packets myself.
