Raydium 3D Game Engine

Hi,

i need to send an array from server to clients:



For every client it contains two ints: start grid race position and car livery id

I want to send the array to every new client connected:



I get same error every time:

Raydium: network: ERROR sending ! (-1)

on client connection to server

Why this doesn't work?

Hi,

Can we see the related "raydium_network_propag_add()" call ?

here it is:

1. client


2. server

Seems OK to me, no problem here. It may be related to the "timing" of raydium_network_propag_refresh() call, then. When new_client() is called ?

i searched over server c source file and besides the function declaration, there was this single line :

Oops. While digging the code, I realised that the "propag" system was never intended for the server side ! The server was only meant to synchronize the variables over all clients, not read or write the values. And the documentation does not say a word about that :/

So, here's the options:
1 - use another system to send this grid data from the server (classic netcall, HTTP request with web.c module, …)
2 - wait a bit to let trying to improve the propag system so it can be available to the server

I hope to solve this using raydium_network_write I think i seen it used in Mania Drive.

This is really low level, try with netcalls first, it's easier.

I've started a few tests about server-side propags, will post here along the way...

I was too lazy and i moved the generated random startgrid array to the client. Since every next client logging in after first client gets this data from server it makes no difference
But i assumed that the first client always gets the value of raydium_network_uid equal to 0. Is that so ?

Nope, propag eventually wasn't good idea for this purpose
I took your advice and i "plugged in" into NET_REMAINING type with my array.
I also moved from button callback to time counter callback.
It works flawlessly now
