In this example2, I did like this. Make standalone game. And then run the game in the unity editor after load the [Example2_menu] scene.

and made server and started game. And then run the standalone, but the list of game is empty. I think it should listed in there cuz I already run server in the editor. I don't know why list does not appear.

In example3's lobby testing, no problem. Client get list of current server well. Then why example2 can't do like this? I saw example2's scripts but I can't find the reason.

Anyone know why and how fix? Thank you.

Does anyone have a good reference for exactly how to setup the master server on your own server? having trouble finding any good references.

Cozza: Beyond the basic docs?
http://unity3d.com/support/documenta...terServer.html
http://unity3d.com/support/documenta...rverBuild.html

MasterServerBuild.html might be better.

[Cozza13]

Thanks I got those, yet they are not to helpful explaining how to setup the actual server.

[Little Angel]

Mmm... As I would be dealing with a hosted server, I sent the links to my provider and said "Can you set this up for me if I'm buying additional hosting space?" and they said "Yes! Piece of cake!"...

And I stopped my research.

But, sympathetically and unhelpfully, I've not found a lot either.

Have you tried #unity3d on irc?

[Cozza13]

yeah I tried that. In most cases I just use the public server. But I want to set one up myself at the moment. I think I have it going but I am not connecting so some sort of manual that explains the setup would be helpful to make sure I have not missed anything. .e.g what ports need to be opened UDP and TCP getting the NAT running etc.

Hello, i think the tutorial is great and i have two questions:

In the exaple4(FPS game) there' a script GameSetup which takes care of spawning of players. The script calls function OnNetworkLoadLevel in the following loop:

for (var go : GameObject in FindObjectsOfType(GameObject)){
            go.SendMessage("OnNetworkLoadedLevel", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver); 
        }

I want to know why this loop with FindObjectsOfType(GameObject) is neccessary(or logical)? Why can't it be replaced with just one call of OnNetworkLoadedLevel() function(the function which calls Network.Instantiate) like in the example2 for instance?

And my second question -> In the same script(GameSetup) there is public var playerList = new ArrayList(); with comment that this is a server-only playlist. Is it really server-only? Because RPC function call TellOurName is sent to everyone and playerList gets new elements added on clients as well, if i understand it correctly?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
