LÖVE CÖNNECTION 1.4

[lumaio]

I'm having a strange issue where the player will connect but will be immediately timed out and will attempt to reconnect.

My code is identical to the example posted above (or close enough to it).
(Also, the steam link in the OP is broken)

OK, so I got an example to work when the client sends data to the server, but when I tried to implement the server sending to the client in a game i've been programming, it gives me an error: lib/net.lua:325: bad argument #2 to 'sendto' (string expected, got nil). I took a look at net.lua and it's missing the ip. I specified the ip like this:

Code: Select all

		Net:send( server_data, "ready", Nil, "192.168.1.69")		

It worked fine going from client to server, when I didn't specify an ip. Just a side note, incase it matters, I'm running both client and server on the same computer.

I'm looking into this error now, I'll let you know ASAP. I am at a friends house but I'll work on it in a few hours. Sorry for the long wait
**EDIT: I've found your problem, when you're supplying the ip in net:send on the server... it's the clients --ID-- not their ip, the id is a string that is formated like this IP:PORT and deformatted like this local ip, port = id:match( "^(.-):(%d+)$" ) and then passes that to the REAL send command.. and any ids of clients kept by the server is the IP:PORT format, so you need to supply an id. Best solution is to use the net.users and loop through it, and find some sort of indicator. Because you need the port of the client connected to your server. I suggest doing it like this:
1. This will literally send this to every single client connected unless you do the second method

Code: Select all

for CLIENTSID,table in pairs( net.users ) do
    Net:send( server_data, "ready", Nil, CLIENTSID)
end

2. This is the "better" alternative, however if you were to give a name to clients you could use the ALTERNATE method

Code: Select all

for CLIENTSID,table in pairs( net.users ) do
    i, k = string.find( CLIENTSID, "192.168.1.69" )
    if i or k then
        Net:send( server_data, "ready", Nil, CLIENTSID )
    end
end
-- Alternate
for CLIENTSID,table in pairs( net.users ) do
    if table.name == "Nicholas Scott" then
        Net:send( server_data, "ready", Nil, CLIENTSID )
    end
end

*NOTE: This is were your error is happening socket:sendto( net:encode( table ), ip, tonumber( port ) ) It's because ip and port are set by local ip, port = id:match( "^(.-):(%d+)$" ) and your string you supply is just an ip it will set the port to nil, hence your error string expected, got nil...

Looking into this now, do you think you could dropbox the folder of all of your server code, if you don't mind. I would like to see how you run it for debugging, Please and thank you --Also thanks for informing me of the steam link

Great library! Been messing around with it and it seems very promising! I love the run remote command feature.

Would like to see a feature to drop packets that are out of order

I'll look into that feature, sounds like a good one. I might receive packets 1, 2, 3 and server/client will drop packet 1, store packet 2 as LAST RECEIVED and keep packet 3 as the latest one. But as of now the end of the net code receives a command and runs it with a table that is also passed, not really any packet/storage, really just a run as it receives kind of thing. May work on this briefly, although I am kind of busy right now, I'll see though Also thanks for the compliments, I love making my code nice, neat, and if at all possible CHEAT PROOF!! Cause noone likes cheaters *Cough Cough* DAYZ... H1Z1... CS:GO... CSS... Rocket League... Minecraft( Who cares about minecraft, sorry mc lovers )... The list goes on and on

Looks like a awesome library, but I'm having trouble connecting to any computer outside of my home network.
So, running the server and client on 1 pc works fine; running the server on my laptop and the client on my computer somewhere else in the house works fine too, but running the server on my laptop and the client on somebody else's computer somewhere else does not.

Can anybody help me out here?

Client:

Code: Select all

Net = require "Net"

function love.load()
   Net:init( "client" )
   Net:connect( "212.187.101.32", 80 ) --Is it safe putting my IP on the web like that..? Sure!

   timer = 0
   client_data = {}
   client_data.xPos = 300	
   client_data.yPos = 300
end

function love.update(dt)
	Net:update(dt)
	timer = timer + dt
	if timer > 0.001 then
		timer = 0
		Net:send(client_data, "update", nil)
	end

	if love.keyboard.isDown("d") then
		client_data.xPos = client_data.xPos + 100*dt
	elseif love.keyboard.isDown("a") then
		client_data.xPos = client_data.xPos - 100*dt
	end
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.rectangle("fill", client_data.xPos, client_data.yPos, 64, 64)
end

Server:

Code: Select all

Net = require("Net")
box = {
	xPos = 0,
	yPos = 0,
}

function love.load()
	Net:init("server")
	Net:connect(nil, 80)
	Net:setMaxPing(1000)

	Net:registerCMD( "update", function( client_data, param, id, deltatime )
		box.xPos, box.yPos = client_data.xPos, client_data.yPos
		print(box.xPos.. " " ..box.yPos)
	end)
end

function love.update(dt)
	Net:update(dt)

	for id,data in pairs( Net:connectedUsers() ) do
      	print(id)
   end
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.rectangle("fill", box.xPos, box.yPos, 64, 64)
end

How do you get mutliple connections and drawings going at once?
I was thinking of doing something like this :

Code: Select all

   for id,data in pairs( Net:connectedUsers() ) do
         data.players.x[id] = net:recieve(...)
         data.players.y[id] = net:recieve(...)
   end

I know that the net:recieve thing is probably not how you use it.
But I was wondering if you can recieve with out those weird commands and recieve from whatever id you want anytime you want it.

for example:

Code: Select all

   for id,data in pairs( Net:connectedUsers() ) do
         net:recieve(127.0.0.1, recievedData)
         data.players[id] = recievedData
   end

this probably isn't possible either, but if you could find something similar to that, this would be a good help for me.
