Overview
In collaboration with Mike/M2H we've been developing a multiplayer version of the official Unity demo "3rd Person MMO Controller". This demo now shows the power of Unity AND Photon. The multiplayer is implemented using the new Photon Unity Networking plugin.

Have fun and watch this short preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfmsDzU4Q94.

What's the name of the music track?

 

Asset store says I need Unity 3.4.1 to download the demo - but 3.4.1 is not yet publicly available.

 

win7 х64
4672: 03:56:33.649 - CService::OnException() - Exception: CManagedHost:hotonRunning() - Failed in AppDomain: 3 - Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index '' was read from the registry.

 

hmm. yes the asset stores says unity 3.4.1 required.. can't download.

 

We re-uploaded with the 3.4 final :#.

 

Still looks to be requiring 3.4.1 on the asset store. Is there a time lag for the update to take effect?

 

+1

 

It has been resubmitted, but not yet approved by the asset store team.

We do now have a 10 minute video showing you how you could add multiplayer to the original Viking demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8S-xSsB9hg&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

 

Until approval you can use this temporary download link:
not necessary anymore - live in asset store

 

I downloaded the link you posted but I got the following errors:

Assets/Photon Unity Networking/Plugins/PhotonNetwork/NetworkingPeer.cs(19,31): error CS0433: The imported type `ExitGames.Client.Photon.PhotonPeer' is defined multiple times

Assets\Photon Unity Networking\Plugins\PhotonNetwork\library\Photon3Unity3D.dll (Location of the symbol related to previous error)

using Unity 3.4.0f5

 

Did you also import the Photon unity package?
The viking demo already includes PUN, so downloading that will cause these errors.

 

The updated package is live on the asset store, please download it from there .

 

Hm..not for me . Still showing the need for 3.4.1.

Same...

I was talking about the asset store inside unity, but never mind, it's there now .

Hi Leepo!

I didn't import the PUN files but, for some reason, when I reimported everything and it just worked! Who knows...

The only problem is that now I can't connect to the server! When I hit Play in the Editor, the server stops and Unity returns an connection error.

Did anyone experience that as well or am I missing something? I'm using the server downloaded from the Photon site, since I'm on a 64-bit Windows and the server that comes with the Viking demo is x86.

 

The websites server is not compatible with PUN. Please use the bundled XP version, this will work on almost any windows version. I think you will be able to get a 64bit build for your specific OS if you request it. For this first launch XP was chosen as target as that'll ensure it'll run on any server.

 

It seems there is IP 127.0.0.11 configured in MainMenuVik.cs. change this to 127.0.0.1.

please check your game server log. looks like it couldn't connect to the master server.

if you want to connect from a remote machine you have to modify the IP the game server reports to the master server. Please check chapter 2.1 in the included PDF.

 

Many tanks ExitGB works fine...
my fault not having read the document carefully

 

Is there a way to keep an room active with no players in it?
Say i want my world to stay up even if the last person disconnects

then i can run the client again and join my room(world)

jay

 

as long as anyone holds a RoomReference the room remains open.
You could change the code to retrieve another RoomReference from the GameCache on game creation.

 

Really cool guys, thanks for this!

@Leepo, I look forward to Photon tutorials from you that are as good as your Unity networking set. But I hope you don't abandon your work with Unity's builtin networking! Photon is awesome, but there's something really cool about the co-op networking stuff you can do for free, that your tutorials helped me understand.

 

Read through the sources, it seems like this is just another "pass through client data to all other clients"-server, as the server is not authoritative?

I've been looking into on how to create an authoritative server with photon that has control over player movement, but there seems to be no way to expose the vector/quaternion/matrix libraries of Unity to Photon. Does Photon have something built in that does this? (I've been looking through your documentation, but can't find any API docs anywhere).

 

correct, no authoritative servers - yet.

 

Yet? Awwwww.... don't leave us hanging, what's coming?

 

We updated the demo to run in the Cloud - no Server install necessary. Very easy to try and checkout on any Platform where the Unity IDE runs.

The following Unity Asset Store demos are now Cloud enabled:
Photon Unity Networking: http://u3d.as/content/exit-games/pho...networking/2ey
Photon Viking Demo: http://u3d.as/content/exit-games/photon-viking-demo/2gg
Photon Angry Bots Demo: http://u3d.as/content/exit-games/pho...-bots-demo/2i9

 

What I need to change in the CharacterPrefab to make the player in the first person mode?

 

The Viking Demo is also updated to PUN 1.12. Some new features, lots of improvements.
Let us know how it does.

 

This is now updated to PUN 1.14.

 

Another update to PUN 1.15. Click here for details.

 

And another update: PUN 1.16. Click here for details.
No questions or bugs?
Edit: I found a bug myself. 1.16 won't compile in the initial release. Please make sure you got 1.16.2 or up. If it doesn't compile: Look for a update. I'm pushing it up while I post.

 

I just uploaded v1.17 of PUN (free), the Viking Demo and Photon Angry Bots.
There's a fix for an exception, so: Please update!
Click here for details.

 

Awesome work!

One question - I can't seem to find it anywhere - does it work on iOS? I get this error:

Error building Player: SystemException: System.Net.Sockets are supported only on Unity iPhone Advanced. Referenced from assembly 'Photon3Unity3D'.

 

It works in iOS but like the message says: "only on Unity iPhone Advanced".
Almost any plugin that runs in Unity will use Net.Sockets and those require a special license of Unity.

You are right, we don't mention this requirement in this thread / demo. But it's on the main PUN post under "Requirements":
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/101734-Submitting-Photon-Unity-Networking?p=667622

 

Downloaded and imported it -> Set Photon ID -> Play -> Created lobby -> Error above.

What's the problem? (Unity 4.0.0f7)

 

I didn't check yet if changes in the animation system of U4 break something in that demo. The other demo with the worker is doing fine in U4.
I will check early next year. Hopefully you can bear with us or find a workaround.

 

I tried Viking Demo after trying Angry Bots (which sticks on loading 0%). Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

P.S. To solve the issue above I just removed animations.

 

So basically to create a multiplayer game for Android/iPhone you must pay at least 3000$ for Unity Pro and Android/iPhone Pro..

 

How do i change the CharPrefab with a FirstPersonController?
I added the Photon and Network view to it (Prefab).
Deleted then the prefab in the current scene, and tryed to play it.
But i getting weird results now when somebody trys to join

Can you help or teach me how?

 

Hello i have unity 4.0.0f7, downloaded the latests Viking Demo 1.17 from asset store, start a new project and imported the package, i set the photon app ID, play and gives me this error:

TBOY298:
The Marco Polo Tutorial text should help here. In it, we describe how to setup and use a prefab:
http://doc.exitgames.com/photon-cloud/Marco_Polo_Tutorial/#cat-PUN Tutorials

Yuu:
This seems to be a problem with the char we use (it's a Unity 3 asset) and Unity 4. You need to setup/fix the animations of the viking in Unity 4 at the moment.

I hope we can find a solution that's compatible with Unity 3 and 4. Else, we will have to upload two versions of the demo (as we don't want to end support for Unity 3 just yet).
