Resolved Is there any way to get connection endpoint from lobby players without using relay?

Hello,
I'm using lobby services and i'm trying to use also UDP, so i need lobby players connection points. But Lobby players and also Authentication services not gives me that info i think.


Do you have any idea about that?

 

Thank you so much for you response.

Yes i mean IP address.

In my case, After connecting or creating a new lobby, i need their IPs. Because I'm also creating a data transportation layer with (com.unity.transport).

Code (CSharp):

1.  IEnumerator startNetworkAsClient()
2.    {
3.  
4.     PlayerDriver = NetworkDriver.Create();
5.     System.Net.IPAddress serverAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse(endPointRemote);
6.  
7.     Unity.Collections.NativeArray<byte> nativeArrayAddress;
8.     nativeArrayAddress = new  Unity.Collections.NativeArray<byte>(serverAddress.GetAddressBytes().Length, Unity.Collections.Allocator.Temp);  
9.     nativeArrayAddress.CopyFrom(serverAddress.GetAddressBytes());
10.  
11.     NetworkEndPoint endpoint = NetworkEndPoint.LoopbackIpv4;
12.     endpoint.SetRawAddressBytes(nativeArrayAddress);
13.     endpoint.Port = portNumber;
14.     clientConnection = PlayerDriver.Connect(endpoint);
15.     Debug.Log("Connected: " + clientConnection.IsCreated);
16.     }

Code (CSharp):

1.   IEnumerator startNetworkAsHost()
2.   {
3.     HostDriver = NetworkDriver.Create();
4.     if (HostDriver.Bind(NetworkEndPoint.AnyIpv4) != 0)
5.     {
6.       Debug.LogError("Server failed to bind");
7.     }
8.     else
9.     {
10.       while (!HostDriver.Bound)
11.       {
12.         HostDriver.ScheduleUpdate().Complete();
13.         yield return null;
14.       }
15.  
16.       if (HostDriver.Listen() != 0)
17.       {
18.         Debug.LogError("Server failed to listen");
19.       }
20.       else
21.       {
22.         Debug.Log("Server connected");
23.       }
24.     }
25.  
26.  
27.   }

I've tried to keep host endpoint with Lobby options data.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  var lobbyData = new Dictionary<string, DataObject>()
3.     {
4.         ["Endpoint Address"] = new DataObject(DataObject.VisibilityOptions.Public, GetPublicIP()),
5.     };
6.     options.Data = lobbyData;
7.     currentLobby = await Lobbies.Instance.CreateLobbyAsync(lobbyName: defaultLobbyName, maxPlayers: maxPlayers, options: options);
8.  

I edited my question. I can get external IP as you can see. Problem is after i connect with server, i can not send data or update server...

Am i connecting with the right way?

Update code block is:

Code (CSharp):

1.  if(currentLobby.HostId == loggedPlayer.Id){
2.         HostDriver.ScheduleUpdate().Complete();
3.  
4.         NetworkConnection c;
5.         while ((c = HostDriver.Accept()) != default(NetworkConnection))
6.         {
7.             hostConnections.Add(c);
8.             Debug.Log("Accepted a connection");
9.         }
10.  
11.      
12.     DataStreamReader stream;
13.     for (int i = 0; i < hostConnections.Length; i++)
14.     {
15.         NetworkEvent.Type cmd;
16.         while ((cmd = HostDriver.PopEventForConnection(hostConnections[i], out stream)) != NetworkEvent.Type.Empty)
17.         {
18.  
19.             if(cmd == NetworkEvent.Type.Connect){
20.                 Debug.Log("Server connected");
21.             }
22.             if (cmd == NetworkEvent.Type.Data)
23.             {
24.  
25.             }
26.             else if (cmd == NetworkEvent.Type.Disconnect)
27.             {
28.                 Debug.Log("Client disconnected from server");
29.                 hostConnections[i] = default(NetworkConnection);
30.             }
31.         }
32.     }
33.     }
34.     else{
35.             PlayerDriver.ScheduleUpdate().Complete();
36.     }

 

No problem, I've asked kind a same question at (unity.transport) forums.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/do-...-connection-with-com-unity-transport.1286642/

I guess i understand where is the problem. Without relay, sending data between two machine that not involved same network needs own their configurations. So if i wanna use lobby services with unity trasportation, i should also use relay services.

No, i'm not getting an error but yes, data doesn't seem to arrive. It seems I should find another way to send data between my clients.

Thx for your responses and helps!

 

I know this is an old post but I have the same problem here. I implemented the Lobby service perfectly. Also, I have dedicated server and I don't want to use Unity Relay servers. In relay documentation it says it's possible but how?

 

hi i think he means this :
i have dedicated server and wanna use lobby system to create lobby and connect player together without relay service . because lobby system only give you relay endpoint ! it is my question to, how to use lobby system to create lobby in our dedicated server without using relay ? very simple question if it is possible then just send us some document and if not just say no or ask from other devs that conterbuted in both relay and lobby and dedicated servers . thanks cheers

 

As I understood from what veleek_unity said, we need to add server data to Lobby. AFAIK this is possible using e.g.

Code (CSharp):

1. await LobbyService.Instance.UpdateLobbyAsync(lobby.Id, new UpdateLobbyOptions {
2.     Data = new Dictionary<string, DataObject> {
3.         { KEY_IP, new DataObject(DataObject.VisibilityOptions.Member, serverIp) },
4.         { KEY_PORT, new DataObject(DataObject.VisibilityOptions.Member, serverPort) }
5.     }
6. });

Then clients can get this data:

Code (CSharp):

1. var unityTransport = NetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>();
2. unityTransport.SetConnectionData(lobby.Data[KEY_IP], ushort.Parse(lobby.Data[KEY_PORT]));
