    Attached to this post are some sample projects for the new networking system. These projects all use the High Level networking API.

    Warning, these contain programmer art and are not pretty at all.

    2dshooter - is a 2d shooter game, use arrow keys and space bar, start with the "start" scene.

    tanks - is a 2d tank example, use mouse and arrow keys, start with the "title" scene.

    Invaders - is a 2d arcade game, use arrow keys and space bar, start with the "StartMenu" scene.

    NetworkStarter - is simple 3d with boxes, it uses the multiplayer lobby and does scene changes, start with the "lobbyNewGUI" scene.

    move - is a simple 3d client movement test, use arrow keys and space bar, start with the "ballz" scene.

    I tried the 'tanks' and 'networkstarter' projects and they only spammed error messages. Do these work for anybody else?

    Considering how powerful and advanced Unity is, these samples are pretty disappointing (I know unet was just released).

    At a bare minimum I would like to see something like these
    http://doc.exitgames.com/en/pun/current/tutorials/rpg-movement
    http://doc.exitgames.com/en/pun/current/tutorials/mecanim-demo

    • Player movement smoothing techniques (besides lerping). I'm not sure lerping is a viable smoothing technique. When I have tried using it in the past, it gives an "ice skating" effect, which isn't good for humanoid type characters. I would like to see more about interpolate and extrapolate options (such as with PhotonTransformView).

    well, here is one more complaint, sorry but this dont work.

    i have tried NetworkStarter.zip project and i can only connect with 1 client, the second wont even connect console debug wont throw any errors,
    even raising the max players setting on lobby manager still wont let you connect a secon dplayer.

    I hate to say this but like erebell55 said in the post above the demos are quite disappointing, seems that it is not working for anyone, unless we are missing some steps like saying a magic word before clicking play?

    I can launch Network Starter, I built the game and launched it twice. Host with the first and join with the second. Eveything is fine, movement are the same on the two instances of the game BUT the boxes are not at the same place in each games.

    Will there be any examples showing the HLAPI without using the all in one "NetworkManager"?

    Well I am looking for an example where http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkServer.html and http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkClient.html are used similar to the master server sample but instead simpeler without hostlists, but more as a dedicated server setup.

    The NetworkStart projects uses the NetworkProximityChecker on the boxes. So players can only see boxes that are near them.

    Invaders seems to have some pretty major bugs. Everything looks fine on the Server instance, but the client is totally broken, with the enemies scrolling off-screen and the players ship wildly flying all over the place.

    I'm having trouble using Match maker on Android (both with these example projects and otherwise).

    I loaded up 2dshooter and gave it my Cloud Project Id in the PlayerSettings. If I load the start.unity, run it, click Enable Match Maker, click Create Internet Match, I get success JSON response on the log and the game begins.

    However, if I switch to Android platform, build it up, run it, do the same sequence as above, after clicking Create Internet Match I end up with:

    I/Unity (20567): (Filename: ./artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 65)
    I/Unity (20567): Failed to read the ID for the match maker, please set the Cloud Project ID string in the Player Settings (see https://unet.cloud.unity3d.com)
    I/Unity (20567): MatchMakingClient Create :https://mm.unet.unity3d.com/json/reply/CreateMatchRequest
    I/Unity (20567): (Filename: ./artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 65)
    I/Unity (20567): System.FormatException: FAILURE Returned from server: FailedCreateMatch for appId=Invalid
    I/Unity (20567): at UnityEngine.Networking.Match.Response.Parse (System.Object obj) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

    I/Unity (20567): JSON Response: [[UnityEngine.Networking.Match.CreateMatchResponse]-success:False-extendedInfo:Failed CreateMatch for appId=Invalid]-address:, port:0,networkId:0x0000000000000000,nodeId:0x0000,usingRelay:False
    I/Unity (20567): (Filename: ./artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 65)
    E/Unity (20567): Create Failed:[[UnityEngine.Networking.Match.CreateMatchResponse]-success:False-extendedInfo:Failed CreateMatch for appId=Invalid]-address:,port:0,networkId:0x0000000000000000,nodeId:0x0000,usingRelay:False
    E/Unity (20567): (Filename: ./artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 65)

    So it seems like I wouldn't have set my Cloud Project Id.. but when I added

    Debug.Log("Cloud Project ID: " + Application.cloudProjectId);

    to the ShooterNetManager.Start() it prints exactly correct cloud project id.

    Any ideas? Anyone tested this with Android? Or iOS or WP8?

    What's missing is the appId. I had to manually set it. Its the UNET ID underneath the Cloud project Id

    NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.SetProgramAppID((AppID)XXXXX);

    Yeah. I'm currently connecting Editor, Android and WP8 over the internet using the match maker.

    Edit: take the 2dshooter project posted above, input your Cloud Project Id (Edit -> project settings -> player) and you should be able to connect multiple desktop clients to each other over the Match maker.

    Connecting Android and WP8 with Match maker seems to currently require SetProgramAppID method call Evil Otaku mentioned.

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of a live-chat (IRC etc.) community where people can share their bugs and experiences with UNET? (specifically for UNET and nothing else). For example, I just discovered that upgrading from 5.1.1p1 → 5.1.1p2 was the reason my editor was crashing when trying to use the free-tier match-making system.

    Thanks!

    Same issue as Olcay, except works fine for me in the starter project. I cannot get it working at all in my own project. Hidden settings? All I can see is the Cloud Project ID setting.

    At least someone should tell that this is a bug which will be fixed. Or... this problem is an issue about settings or needs an additional thing to do. No one confirms that this online matchmaking is working in webplayer or in multiple PC :S It's only working on editor.

    Is there an example for controlling a prefab from two players. For example, I have a driver and gunner and I want the driver to own control of the driver vehicle prefab's movement but I would like to gunner to update vehicle's turret. Right now I have the gunner using one prefab setup with turret controls and the driver uses a different prefab setup with steering controls.

    Can anyone tell me where to get the updated version of the 2Dshooter. The one found on this forum does not work with regards to syncing bullet movement. It also differs from the Unite talk demo.

    Since I switched from using the old GUI, to the new GUI system (as used in the NetworkStarter project), The client-player in never instantiated when the game starts. Also, ClientRPC calls are no longer being called on the server. Any ideas here?

    Interesting, there was no mention of multiplayer bug fixes in that patch. Maybe updating will fix some of the issues I've been seeing. Thanks for the tip.

    The ball sample demonstrates the problem I'm having... desync. Are there any projects that are in sync? The game I'm working on has grid based continuous movements and even minor desync is incredibly noticeable.

    --edit

    2d shooter also has very noticeable desync issues. When a client thrusts, it hits walls first on the server so the client rebounds against nothing.

    Are there any examples with highly synced players?

    NetworkTransform is pretty useless component. For example there is no way to reach smooth movement with Character Controller. Is it really that hard to provide us with nice and smooth solution, not this jerking bullshit?

    I was going to come back here today and say I solved the issue. I removed the NetworkTransform and synced things manually with Rpc functions. It uses less network traffic and ends up with way better results lol.

    You can write your own class using almost the same code as the one you see in NetworkTransform, but with your own interpolation in Update. I did it because it currently has no interpolation for SyncTransform, but you can use it as example for your own needs.

    It also serializes some other stuff unrelated to movement (navagent's destination) and has a few other lines that will be useless to your project, but you can just cut them out.

    @Glabrezu that's an interesting idea. The issue for me is that interpolation does not look correct in a grid based game :) It causes people to sometimes move diagonally when they should only move in 4 directions.Having an rpc update input and position has the least noticeable desync for grid based movements.

    When I can go back to physics based movements I'll see if networktransform has improved. The issue I saw with all of these demos is that if you take the client and go towards a wall, it always hits the wall first on the server so your client bounces off of nothing. If it's that easy to desync then it's not good :p

    Could be. But I'm getting similar problem after updating to newer version.
    To be precise I'm getting error described here . First I got it in my project. Then I decided to check if this problem exists in sample projects.
    Too bad there is no fully functional example from unity. I mean client side prediction and server-client reconciliation.

    What functions are you using? I am able to use syncvars, hooks, client rpcs and commands without issue. That's all I'm really making use of. The built in stuff for other things, like network transform, is way to buggy even in 'stable' versions of unity.
