Bootcamp Multiplayer Demo

I've bought a photon license, so I would like to see a v3 server example

 

I'm really interested to convert the demo to PUN.

 

A new Photon Bootcamp version (1.3) is live and the download works.
The package has a new(er) client library inside and I got rid of the warnings due to EditorGUI scripting.

marf: We won't modify the Bootcamp Demo to Photon Unity Networking, sorry. For PUN, we already have the Angry Bots Demo which is more up to date and built with mobiles in mind.

Baroni: Thanks for the vote.
More?

 

Hi Tobias,

Is there any way to integrate something like this with tech shown in the MMO demo? What i'm interested in is combining Unity networking and Photon interest management to have a similar effect over large worlds.

Thanks,
Christian

 

kidovate: We will add some kind of interest management to Photon Unity Networking but right now, there is no "out of the box" solution.
You can implement it with our server SDKs but so far, the server is simply passing through whatever the clients are sending. There is no "understanding" of what is passed.
If your project is going "MMO style", you likely need more than just interest management done on the server.

 

I just downloaded the Bootcamp Demo, and I would like to use it in Unity 3.5. Are there any updates or coming updates to make it fully compatible with 3.5? Various warnings come up when I open up the project.

 

We will fix the warnings but we won't upgrade the Bootcamp Demo to 3.5 features.
Also, we want to keep it 3.4 compatible for the time being, until most projects are switched to 3.5, too.

 

Excuse me, what is the problem, thank you.

enter later ->>> this.peer.Service();

 

FIRST INSTALL of the demo...

I have troubles to run this demo... I can compile and run the demo; I can sign in, I can create a first room, but after clicking on 'OK' for creating room, I keep a dark screen... Nothing is displayed.

The only message I have in console is :
UnassignedReferenceException: The variable _usePhoton of 'MainMenuScreen' has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the _usePhoton variable of the MainMenuScreen script in the inspector.
UnityEngine.GameObject.SendMessage (System.String methodName, System.Object value) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/b0bcff80449a48aa/Runtime/ExportGenerated/Editor/UnityEngineGameObject.cs:257)

GUIOptimizer.OnGUI () (at Assets/Scripts/huds/GUIOptimizer.js:12)

Here is what I have done :
- under Unity 3.5, have created an empty project,
- into this project, I have imported the demo, from the asset store, following the link http://u3d.as/1AA
- I build for standalone, from the scene BootCampLiteLobby.unity
- I deploy the photon server on an other directory, not related to the unity project,
- I start the photoncontrol.exe (as administrator) and start the application. Logs contain :
Adding UDP listener on :127.0.0.1: 5055 with a listen backlog of: 500
(so for me, it is working)
- and I run the demo from unity.
And, as I said : I have black screen after the room creation...

Any idea of what is wrong ?

Thanks in advance

 

I was having the same problem with Photon Server 3.0, then i switched back to 2.6 and the problem went away.

 

When it it be available to get Bootcamp running on the cloud? Then i would pay instantly for cloud solution! Is there a help how to convert Bootcamp or the Photon Bootcamp demo to the Photon Cloud? I use Unity 3.5

 

sdonnet: Most likely you didn't add the scenes to the build. All included scenes should be added (in order) to the build setup.

smapp: You are right: Photon Bootcamp Demo is not compatible with newer servers. Instead, use the included Photon SDK (the zip) like described in the readme.

freefarmonline: We can't really say when we will have the time to update this. However, there is a Photon Unity Library with LoadBalancing inside, so you could port the Bootcamp Demo to this and use the cloud. Get the Photon-Unity3D_v3-0-1-2_SDK.zip here: http://exitgames.com/download/photon

The LoadBalancing api in Photon-Unity3D_v3-0-1-2_SDK.zip is compatible with the cloud. You "just" need to update the demo.

 

We are finally working on a update for Photon v3.
Yay!
It won't become Cloud enabled in the first iteration but this is an option once we are up to date.
Next week or the one after it.

Until then, have a look at coop play in the Photon Angry Bots Demo (asset store).

 

We updated the Asset Store package. As this thread is pretty outdated by the new update, we started a new one.
Please head over to:

Save and close Unity. Reopen Unity. I had this same problem and fixed it that way.

 

Does anyone have another link fo download?

 

This thread is outdated and the demo is now available in the Asset Store.

I dont Know how to fix it . Im currently using Unity3d 4

 

Don't know about the bug you reported. Sounds like a Unity (non) Pro issue?! Not actually related to Photon.
