methods

[G4bit]

i dont know what i am doing wrong. but server doesnt get any call for OnNetworkReceive method or any other ones from INetEventListener, is these methods only used in client?

[RevenantX]

INetEventListener, is these methods only used in client?

No. Event listener used on client and server (NetManager) Can you show your code that doesn't works. And more information?

[G4bit]

i think i found problem, i didnt used poolEvents(); but now then i start server it doesnt show form ;[

server code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using LiteNetLib;
using LiteNetLib.Utils;

namespace MMoServerTest
{
    public partial class frmServer : Form,INetEventListener
    {
        static EventBasedNetListener listener = new EventBasedNetListener();
        static NetManager server = new NetManager(listener, 10,"TestGame");

        public frmServer()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void btnBroadcast_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            NetDataWriter writer = new NetDataWriter();
            writer.Put("Ciulpkit bybius");
            server.SendToAll(writer,SendOptions.Unreliable);
        }
        private void frmServer_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            StartServer();
        }

        private void StartServer()
        {
            if (server.Start(1350))
            {
                tbLog.AppendText("Server started! \n");
                lbStatus.Text = "Satus: Online";
            }
            else
            {
                tbLog.AppendText("Server failed to start! \n");
                lbStatus.Text = "Satus: Offline";
            }

            while (server.IsRunning)
            {
                server.PollEvents();
            }
        }
        private void tmrLoop_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if(server.IsRunning)
            {
                lbCu.Text = "Connected: " + server.PeersCount;
            }
        }

        public void OnPeerConnected(NetPeer peer)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }

        public void OnPeerDisconnected(NetPeer peer, DisconnectInfo disconnectInfo)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }

        public void OnNetworkError(NetEndPoint endPoint, int socketErrorCode)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }

        public void OnNetworkReceive(NetPeer peer, NetDataReader reader)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }

        public void OnNetworkReceiveUnconnected(NetEndPoint remoteEndPoint, NetDataReader reader, UnconnectedMessageType messageType)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }

        public void OnNetworkLatencyUpdate(NetPeer peer, int latency)
        {
            tbLog.AppendText("Wtf krw");
        }
    }
}

[RevenantX]

         while (server.IsRunning)
            {
                server.PollEvents();
            }

This is infinite loop.

[G4bit]

i know that i am retarded 🐶 but i still have no clue how to make it work

        static EventBasedNetListener listener = new EventBasedNetListener();
        static NetManager server;
        private Thread thread;
        private void StartServer()
        {
            server = new NetManager(listener, 10, "TestGame");
            server.DiscoveryEnabled = true;
            thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(GetEvent));
            thread.Start();

            if (server.Start(1350))
            {
                tbLog.AppendText("Server started! \n");
                lbStatus.Text = "Satus: Online";
            }
            else
            {
                tbLog.AppendText("Server failed to start! \n");
                lbStatus.Text = "Satus: Offline";
            }
        }

        private void GetEvent()
        {
            while (server.IsRunning)
            {
                server.PollEvents();
                Thread.Sleep(15);
            }
        }

    it doesnt get any call for
    public void OnPeerConnected(NetPeer peer)
    {
        tbLog.AppendText("OnPeerConnected");
    }

[G4bit]

What a shame had to remade it on console to make it work propertly ;[

[RevenantX]

@G4bit it must work in UWP and Windows Forms. Can you send to me sources of your application that doesn't work? And client code too.

[G4bit]

Server files: ServerTest.zip

Client code single script for connecting: dont mind that createClients it was for testing purposes.

using UnityEngine;
using LiteNetLib;
using LiteNetLib.Utils;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Network : MonoBehaviour, INetEventListener
{
    private NetManager client;
    List<NetManager> clients = new List<NetManager>();

    void Start()
    {
        //createClients(100);
        client = new NetManager(this, "TestGame");
        client.Start();
        StartConnection();
    }

    private void createClients(int ct)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < ct; i++)
        {
            clients.Add(new NetManager(this, "TestGame"));
            clients[i].Start();
            clients[i].Connect("localhost", 1350);
        }
    }

    public void closeClients()
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < clients.Count; i++)
        {
            clients[i].Stop();
        }
    }

    void StartConnection()
    {
        client.Connect("localhost",1350);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        client.PollEvents();
    }

    void OnDestroy()
    {
        if (client != null)
            client.Stop();
    }

    public void OnNetworkError(NetEndPoint endPoint, int socketErrorCode)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnNetworkError");
    }

    public void OnNetworkLatencyUpdate(NetPeer peer, int latency)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnNetworkLatencyUpdate");
    }

    public void OnNetworkReceive(NetPeer peer, NetDataReader reader)
    {
        Debug.Log("Received: "+reader.GetString());
    }

    public void OnNetworkReceiveUnconnected(NetEndPoint remoteEndPoint, NetDataReader reader, UnconnectedMessageType messageType)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnNetworkReceiveUnconnected");
    }

    public void OnPeerConnected(NetPeer peer)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnPeerConnected");
    }

    public void OnPeerDisconnected(NetPeer peer, DisconnectInfo disconnectInfo)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnPeerDisconnected");
    }
}

@G4bit your thread closed immediately because "server.IsRunning" - will be true only after "server.Start". Start your thread after server start.

[G4bit]

i dont have much experience with visual studio but that thread is working, it can print in my log. but i have no idea how that server.PollEvents() work.

ps. i think it would be easier to just get from someone working simple server project solution . or stay on console

[RevenantX]

@G4bit "server.PollEvents" call all INetEventListener methods with data that arrived in another thread.

[RevenantX]

@G4bit just checked your code. Thread closed. Because server.IsRunning is false. Add log to while loop.

[G4bit]

i enabled cross thread. CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

        private void GetEvent()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                server.PollEvents();
                Thread.Sleep(15);
                tbLog.AppendText("THread working!!!");
            }
        }

server log: Server starter! ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!! ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!! ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!ThreadWorking!!!

[RevenantX]

@G4bit ah. i see. You using empty listener on server. Implement INetEventListener listener interface in your "Form" class and change this line: server = new NetManager(listener, 10, "TestGame"); to server = new NetManager(this, 10, "TestGame"); Or use EventBasedEventListener and hook up to delegates as in example at main page:

listener.NetworkReceiveEvent += (fromPeer, dataReader) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("We got: {0}", dataReader.GetString(100 /* max length of string */));
};

[G4bit]

That was embarrassing, such stupid mistake :D Works now!! thank you.

[timematcher]

@G4bit Btw, You should really not use CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false; in desktop apps. The correct way would be to declare a UI synchronization context object as a global variable in winforms app like this

public partial myclass(){
         public SynchronizationContext _context;
public myClass(){
          initializecomponents();
          _context= SynchronizationContext.Current;
       }
public void MyMethodThatIsMakingCrossThreaCallUsingTimerOrThread(){
{
        _context.Post(new SendOrPostCallback((o) => {
           //**Update Status in Console here**
           //OR
            //Update any field or status of Winforms UI control WPF UI control here.
            // and the app will not complain of Cross Thread Violation.
        }), null);
}
}

Another way is to use InvokeRequired. but i find the above method the easiest.
