irrNetLite 2.1 [BETA]

[Halifax]

Heh, I was just talking to my friend, who's life is networking tech and building unix clusters, about exactly this problem yesterday, and he suggested basically the exact same solution you just stated. (About the master server, and not actually running the physics on the client's computer.)

[buhatkj]

indeed I am looking forward to it as well

[rogerborg]

^^^^^^^^
He liiiiiiiives!



Good to see you back.

[BlindSide]

Lol, buhatkj returns to the Irrlicht forums triumphantly after 8 months solitary training the in the Swiss alps.

Tryed that old version half a year ago, really simple use and implementantion! Only got some trouble about running it on other IDE then CodeBlocks with gcc, and had the same problem described when running 2 clients (but not in all computers), im really anxious to see the next version!!
Thanks!!

[BlindSide]

Ok since someone brought it up, the second version is pretty much complete, I've integrated ZLIB compression, AES encryption, onConnect/onDisconnect callbacks, kickClient functionality, and many other new features (Some of which I am wondering why they were missing in the first place).

I've also written 2 detailed examples and a tutorial, and I am still in the process of writing the 3rd example, not sure how many more examples I want to write for it, but I would like to showcase as much of the functionality as possible before I release.

I know, this was meant to be out aaaaages ago, but I am right in the middle of exams, I am very busy, I have (alot of) other commitments and I'm not super man so it's taken a lot longer than I expected.

Cheers

Edit: Henrique, I replied to your PM.

So, BlindSide, what is status of irrNetLite? I'm on a little vacation now and wanted to do some stuff with Irrlicht & enet, so this would be really helpful for me. Even some untested beta will work

[tecan]

the status is irrNetLite2beta but its fn amazing stuff. thanks to BlindSide yet again (*cheers)

[BlindSide]

Even some untested beta will work

Your wish is my command, check main post Although this one has been tested, atleast a little.

[alexionne]

Great work, BlindSide! I'm downloading it right now.

Hey guys, sorry to revive an old topic, but can anyone help me with building irrNetLite with XCode?

Here's what I did so far:
- I downloaded the package
- Compiled eNet
- Compiled irrNetLite
- Created a new, empty project in XCode
- Added the frameworks AppKit, Cocoa, Carbon and OpenGL
- Added libenet.a, libirrnet.a and libirrlicht.a
- Created a new target, named it
- Added the frameworks and libraries to "Link with Binaries"
- Added Example1 to compile sources
-> Build

Since it didn't work, I tried with the new version of enet (1.2), but some functions signature changed, and I wasn't sure how to modify irrNetLite accordingly.

This is what I get with the current package:

[tecan]

wako use the 2 beta thats what new versions are there for. you should not have any problems getting it to go. its da bomb!

[Wako]

well I used the one on the first post, which is the 2 beta, right

-- has anyone gotten this to work under XCode / Mac OS X

[BlindSide]

It's a linking issue, it really seems like the libs are not set up correctly. As I am inexperienced with OSX developement, I cannot really help you here.

Also look at this warning:

ld warning: in /Users/Guillaume/Desktop/FirstNet/libenet.a, file is not of required architecture

It really seems the libs weren't built correctly, or on the same platform.

One thing you could try, that will get around all this sticky library business is not using libs at all, and just adding all the files from Enet and IrrNetLite directly into the project (Still use a lib for Irrlicht though!). That should work.

[Wako]

Thanks so much BlindSide.

I just added irrNetLite/sources to my project, removed SPacket.d and *.o, added the include to the search paths, and it worked! 11 warnings, but it's all about the Makefiles.

I had been trying to compile this for about 15h, what a relief!
