lövr is not captable to use the internet at all?

[blenderman94]

greetings im trying to send a simple string over local on windows for a few months now (7) but lövr semingly is seariusly broken in a terms of ding anything over internet.

what i tryed so far.

used the tutorial for enet - never worket at all. tryed to compilea socket libary - failed tryed to ask the os to do some wit hos. execute failed.

basicaly what a wanted is to send a string hello from lövr to an other program on the same machine.

can you lease make a proper tutorial not what we have right now or just fix the networking in lövr?

it will be a lifesaver for my nerves thanks in advance!

Thanks for the issue. I just tried out the sample from the enet tutorial to make sure it works. Here's what I did:

First, I created a folder named client, made a file named main.lua in there, and put this code in it:

local enet = require 'enet'

function lovr.load()
  local host = enet.host_create()
  local server = host:connect('localhost:6789')

  local done = false
  while not done do
    local event = host:service(100)
    if event then
      if event.type == 'connect' then
        print('Connected to', event.peer)
        event.peer:send('hello world')
      elseif event.type == 'receive' then
        print('Got message: ', event.data, event.peer)
        done = true
      end
    end
  end

  server:disconnect()
  host:flush()
end

Then, I made a folder named server, made a file named main.lua in there, and put this code in it:

local enet = require 'enet'

function lovr.load()
  local host = enet.host_create('localhost:6789')
  while true do
    local event = host:service(100)
    if event and event.type == 'receive' then
      print('Got message: ', event.data, event.peer)
      event.peer:send(event.data)
    end
  end
end

I also put a conf.lua file in the server folder with this, since the server doesn't need to render anything:

function lovr.conf(t)
  t.modules.graphics = false
  t.modules.headset = false
  t.window = nil
end

Then, I started the server with lovr . from the server folder, and ran the client with lovr . from the client folder.

The server printed this:

Got message:    hello world     127.0.0.1:53034

The client printed this:

Connected to    127.0.0.1:6789
Got message:    hello world     127.0.0.1:6789

Can you share any more details about what you tried with the enet tutorial and how it failed? I'd love to improve the documentation, and I could start with the more specific steps I wrote out here, but I'm not sure if it would actually improve things without knowing the problem you're running into.
