Any feedback? I would love to know what people think of this tutorial series!

 

Wicked network tutorials I'm going to use some of your routines to quickly mash-up red box VS blue box shooter test

 

Welcome!! Since my first login tutorial I have always wanted to make a networked one Well here it is!

 

Just saw this here. Need to take a look! Unity networking is powerful but under-documented, so any resources for this would be good.

 

Do you want me to upload the source code? I am upload it now

 

I'll agree with little angel.............any network tutorial is a good network tutorial.
I kinda' took over another 3d FPS network tutorial thread...............but there's BIG holes in my quite limited knowledge and experience..............and it'd be a good thing if I could learn from your efforts thus that you might also learn from my different point of view in this giant all purpose 3d tool kit called unity..........

And in case no one has told you yet.............thanks MUCH for your efforts *smile*

 

Hey there Wikened, your tutorial series is really picking up now. I watch almost all your videos with great interest.

I have a request.
Once you are finished with this Networking tutorial, if and when you have the time, could you consider making another server client tutorial series where

Client = Unity
Server = Custom Coded.
(In some situations it is necessary to create ones own custom coded server as the Unity server may not be ideal in all cases)

This kind of tutorial is very hard to come by. Even if it is very difficult to make such a tutorial completely, any information or baby steps on how to get a project like that started would be very useful.

Please consider something like this in your leisure. Thanks for all the other tutorials. Great work !!

 

Thanks a lot, Wikened.

 

I actually planned to create a tutorial like this using Photon's Networking Socket. First I must get better with it and then I will create one!

 

Welcome!

 

nice tutos, thanks for the effort, as Little Angel said , there is not that much on this topic , so every bit of infos added is always welcome

 

Hi Wikened, thank you so much for this tutorial. However, I have one question during my own implementation for your first video.
The problem is I need to switch back to server to make the game app updated. Do you know how is that happening?

 

Hello gasros123,
Can you please explain your problem a bit better and then I'll see what I can do Maybe even make another tutorial on it!

 

Sorry, let me explain again.
I followed your first video in this tutorial and tried to connect two instance (one server and one client) on my laptop.
The problem is that when I click client button on my client instance, there is no change neither on client nor server. Then i switch back to server, then the number of logged client change to 1. Same thing, when I change the color, the color on server is not updated until I switch to the server.

 

Ah yes! When u build your project you need to make sure "Run in Background" is checked! So go to build settings and look for "Run in background"! This should fix it.

Thanks! Great tutorials to learn the basic concepts and get started!

 

Thanks! Great tutorial(s).

Did you know the videos at the end are uploaded in the wrong order.

Cheers

 

Thanks this is really great. watched them all and they help me a lot !

also i went check your channel in youtube and found sooooo many tutorials which are really helpful indeed.


ps. btw, the video 7th in this forum is in the wrong order though

Cheers

 

This is very cool!

How does this compare to useing photon or Smartsfox?

Would this support thousands of users? What about hundreds?

Is it based on system resources?

 

Very nice tutorial on the basics of networking, followed along and kinda did my own thing. Would love to see more tutorials from you!

 

Thanks
love this.

 

I've try with your tutorial and complete all.
It's a good way to create a server/client work in unity.

But is it has different way? just like sever and client are separate?

Because I only use it on first day..so I have no idea now.
Thx for your good tutorial video, and if you don't feel upset , please teaching me again.




Forgive my poor English..Have a good day.

Past for 1 day.
It's a very strong server that I found, called photon server, try it. ^_^

 

very helpful and nice pace. thanks.

a couple of things I did that might help you or others.

1. in the first part, use a random colour it shows that the function gets executed on each client... so effectively the server broadcasts the rpc... but the clients do not continually request an update. so using a random colour helped me get my head round the illusion and brace myself for future issues

2. in the second part where your using one node as server for login... try many clients
step 1. start all the clients
step 2. register a client
step 3. login that client (oops) // all clients get logged in

I have a fix for that issue, if you are still following the feedback.

Top tutorial and I am very grateful...

 

Thanks!
This is very great

 

Nice work Wikened.

I like your videos, cause they're easy to understand with some help in unity scripting wep page.

 

One question.

Can host play a game? I think you set that only to clients, so if the host wants play, he musts open another tab of the game and connect as a client?

 

This is awesome!. Thanks for this tutorial

 

Great tutorial. Just what I been looking for. I noticed it is around 5 years old. Anything new with unity 5 or 2017?
