MLAPI - HLAPI Replacement

Only if the transport supports it. Most of the time this is achieved by using Unconnected messages in the transport. Ruffles for example supports this feature and I know other libraries does also.

 

i understand.
is there any other way besides the beforehand mentioned method to achieve direct connections as a fallback with your MLAPI + MLAPI.Puncher librarys?

Also, i think there is a bug within the PuncherClient function ListenForPunches(...) since it doesn't achieve any connection to the host (not for me at least). The PuncherClient function ListenForSinglePunch(...) however works perfectly fine.

I have one, two more questions: Does the MLAPI library support Noble Connect out of the box? If yes, does it work only with UNET as the transport layer or with any transport layer?

Thank you.

 

I am pretty sure Noble Connect does not work with the MLAPI. But you have to speak with them about that.

If the puncher has a bug, file a GitHub issue. But it uses the same code internally.

As for the fallback, I don't quite follow. You can use my MLAPI.Relay if you don't want to use hole punching.

 

I submitted a GitHub issue on the matter. Some stuff went wrong with formatting and clicking the youtube link doesn't work (has to be copy-pasted to the browser addressbar).

I am perfectly fine with hole punching . I was just thinking about a fallback in case the hole-punching server is down, so that at least people with open NATs can still directly connect to each other. Anyway, i just found a workaround to solve this requirement by catching an exception and executing direct connection from there .

One more thing... You have done really really great work with the MLAPI! From all the different solutions i tested the last couple of days i liked yours the most. Keep up the good work!
