LUBE (Networking Library)

Indeed, it was the so-desired lube-x I was talking about

[bartbes]

As you can see in the topic title LUBE-X has nothing new at the moment.

New version of packing, supporting dynamic seperators (requested feature)

[bartbes]

I'm ashamed I have to say: I made a mistake! Well, fixed that, new version!

Thanks so much for working this hard on this!

I definitely have plans to use this.

[Crokoking]

there are still some problems in Binary
to make it work 100% use this code:

Code: Select all

function bin:unpackvalue(s)
	local id = s:sub(1, 1)
	s = s:sub(3)
	local len = s:find(bin.one)
	local i = tonumber(s:sub(1, len-1))
	local v = s:sub(len+1)
	if id=="N" then v=tonumber(v)
	elseif id=="B" and v=="true" then v=true
	elseif id=="B" and v=="false" then v=false
	end
	return i, v
end

Confirmed, don't know how I ever forgot that. New version will be out soon.
Anyone ideas for the client table?

EDIT: Where are my manners? Thanks!

How can one test LUBE? Is it possible to put up some kind of quick start how to file at this point? I'd love to work on/use it for a project of mine, because it looks quite good already.

Might be done in the future, as of now, try the docs: http://love2d.org/wiki/index.php?title=LUBE-Docs
(also included in the download)

I've been using the docs. I can get LUBE to contact a remote client, but I can't get it to DO anything once it's done so. Here's what my code is doing (obviously IP ADDRESS is replaced with current IP):

Server:

Code: Select all

server:Init(26001)
server:setCallback(recCallback,connectCallback,disconnectCallback)

Client:

Code: Select all

client:Init(26001)
client:setCallback(recCallback,connectCallback,disconnectCallback)
client:connect('IP ADDRESS',26001,false)
client:send("hello!")

the connectCallback is

Code: Select all

function connectCallback()

	message = "connected!"

end

and I've put client:update() and server:update() in the update() function of love, but I the message never changes on the client side. Any ideas? My router shows me that the client is connecting to my machine.
