Have some problems with Linux Server

Hi community,
i want to make a multiplayer game in unity. First time i tried it with a local connection and it works. Now i have a linux server. I want to inatialize the master server on it and make a c# script in unity to connect clients and play on this server.

My server has this software: CentOS 6 with Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 (64 Bit)
But i can choose between this, too:

• CentOS 6 Minimalsystem (64 Bit)
• ubuntu 12.04 LTS Minimalsystem (64 Bit)
• openSUSE 12.3 Minimal (64 Bit)
• openSUSE 12.3 with Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 (64 Bit)
• openSUSE 13.1 Minimal (64 Bit)
• Debian 7.0 Wheezy Minimalsystem (64 Bit)

I tried to follow this little "tutorial": http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/64297/unity-master-server-on-linux.html but if i write "make ./MasterServer" in the console it says that there is nothing to done.
Then i tried to connect to the server with unity and this little script:

Code (csharp):

1. public class NetworkManager : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public GameObject playerPrefab;
3.     private string serverip = "******";
4.     private int serverport = 25000;
5.    
6.     void Start()
7.     {
8.  
9.     }
10.    
11.     void OnGUI()
12.     {
13.         if (Network.peerType == NetworkPeerType.Disconnected)
14.         {
15.             if(GUI.Button(new Rect(100, 100, 100, 100), "Connect"))
16.             {
17.                 Network.Connect(serverip, serverport);
18.             }
19.         }
20.     }
21.    
22.     void OnConnectedToServer()
23.     {
24.         SpawnPlayer();
25.     }
26.    
27.     private void SpawnPlayer()
28.     {
29.         Network.Instantiate(playerPrefab, new Vector3(0f, 0.5f, 0f), Quaternion.identity, 0);
30.     }
31. }

But there is an error like this: "The connection request to ******:25000 failed. Are you sure the server can be connected to?"

Now i have some questions:

1. Which server software should i use, which i named or should i change to a windows server?
2. What am i doing wrong? I'm very new on this special field: "multiplayer".
3. Do you know a tutorial which helps me making a master server?

Sorry for my bad english, i tried my best! I hope someone can help me

 

You can't use the master server to connect a Unity client in this way. A master server is not a Unity Server.
The master is meant to connect Unity clients to Unity servers. Nothing more then that. It's a list of servers that clients can connect to and provides means to connect to it.

 

Okay, first thank you for your answer.
But what did i need to do, to create a gameserver for a multiplayer game in unity?
Which server-software is usefull and which files did i need?
Is there a good tutorial for that?
Im a little bit confused ..

 

Yes, look at the network class to see how it's done.
Or look at 3rd party solutions like Photon server/Photon cloud/SmartFoxServer or others.

 

Okay, i made a local server with the network class, but can i use it for a linux server, too?
So i can use a script like this, and execute it on server, so i will have a game server which can be connected to?

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class NetworkManager : MonoBehaviour {
5.     private int serverport = 25000;
6.    
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         LaunchServer ();
10.     }
11.  
12.     void LaunchServer() {
13.         bool useNat = !Network.HavePublicAddress();
14.         Network.InitializeServer(32, serverport, useNat);
15.     }
16.    
17.     void OnServerInitialized() {
18.         Debug.Log("Server initialized and ready");
19.     }
20. }

If that's true, i need to got a windows server, make a console exe with visual studio which initialize the server and execute it on server? Because i dont know how to do that with linux ...
