LÖVE CÖNNECTION 1.4

[Nicholas Scott]

Hello! So, I've been away from Love2D for a long time now, anyways I'm back and I need a networking module, I'm reviving this project and reworking it as I've seen it's not working as it used to. I'll provide more documentation etc. Anyways any suggestions please leave below!

Provides simple, easy to use, networking functions.

This communicates to the server using a table containing a few variables and of course any other info you so desire to send to the server. As well as server to client!

Feel free to nitpick in the comments and suggest improvements, or new features, Also I'd LOVE to see anything you guys use this to make, it would tickle me to death to see my creation put to good use!

Cool! I might have missed it in the main post, but could you provide a download?

I'd love to test it and implement it in a game I've been trying to make for a while!

Thanks.

Challenge accepted.

Class.lua(for LUBE 1.0)

Either support class commons as lube does, or just use its fallback. It's a bit weird when there's a system in place to allow you to swap out class libraries that you then throw it away.

Code: Select all

Class = require("modules/Class")
require("modules/Binary")
require("modules/Lube")
require("modules/Net")

Eek, slashes in requires are evil. The correct separator for requires (so for module names) is a dot. Dots work always, regardless of whether the library is a c library, a lua library, injected by some other means whatever. Furthermore, mixing dots and slashes is always bad, since it breaks requires caching.

Lastly, adding these capital letters seemingly randomly is a bit weird and awkward, especially for the windows users who switch between case-insensitive and case-sensitive filesystems.

Code: Select all

net_init("SERVER")

Are all your functions globals? I'd recommend your libraries return (but don't globally set) their table, then putting all functions in those tables.

Fixed !!!

Fixed! I personally use it because I was used to using

Code: Select all

if CLIENT then print("Client") end

because I previously coded in GMOD. same with server[/i][/b]

Are all your functions globals?

Annnnnd it's gone, the functions aren't global anymore, look at the update

Updated to version 1.1! Credit to [bartbes]memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=147 for all his wonderful help! You da man my man!!!

Please avoid multiple posts in a row; you can edit your previous ones if needed. Also, please don't quote huge blocks like that, but just the single part or use something like

Code: Select all

That said, your library looks neat and useful! If I ever get around making a multiplayer game, it might be just what I'd use.

Thanks alot man, I really try my best and work hard on stuff like this, also I'm extremely OCD so it has to be neat and perfect or it will annoy the shit out of me xD. Also who knows, I might even consider making it it's own dependency, therefore removing Class.lua and Lube.lua PSST I'm never going to use Class.lua, sorry to those who truly want me to

Um sir, ping should not be measure in seconds that's too big lol. Most things that deal with time in networking uses milliseconds as their units. But its fine just feels like it doesn't properly represent way things are generally done.

I know, sorry, Trust me it's only temporary, but I will correct this A.S.A.P it was only in seconds cause that is what my happy lovely, update function known as love.update increases by
But I'll change it to satisfy you my fine glorious sir!
