1.) It can run in mobile and Window platform as server or client ?
2.) I can use your asset communicate each others between unity 3D and C# native application ?
3.) Can you tell me more about your coming update UDP P2P ? e.g: what can it do, what different between your exiting function
4.) When UDP P2P release ?

Many thanks !

 

hi, thank you for your interest.

1.) It can run in mobile and Window platform as server or client ?
>> yes, mnf can run android mobile and windows server.
2.) I can use your asset communicate each others between unity 3D and C# native application ?
>> yes, you can. mnf is developed c# 2.0 native code.
3.) Can you tell me more about your coming update UDP P2P ? e.g: what can it do, what different between your exiting function
>> p2p can communicate each mobile by udp packet. and unreliable/reliable send possible.
4.) When UDP P2P release ?
>> maybe udp p2p releases in this year.

 

would you share with me your email contact, in case I need your support ?

Hello - I have tried to make a Wifi Hotpot on my one Sony Xperia Z1 phone (Android Lollipop 5.1) and connected my other Sony Xperia Z1 phone (Android Lollipop 5.1) as client -> thereafter I have opened a published version of your starter (with all 8 scenes build-included). Al though the two phones is displayed as connected (hotspot-phone as "server" and connected as "client") I am not able to "send message" or "broadcast" [no message turns up on either phones unity-app]?

 

hi, tdneren2.
Thank you for your interest to MNF.

Could you share your test phone screenshot?
Could you share MNF log file to me?

If you share those to me, maybe I can help you.

You can send email to me
I will wait your reply

Have a good day.

 

ok, thanks - I have now done the test -> logs (+ screenshots along), but do you want me to post them here or should I send them to your direct-mail? (cannot find your mail in this forum)

 

ah, i see

Maybe we will send many files.
So I recommend you send email.

Have a good weekend

 

Hi, i need to publish an android app that has to be distributed on several devices, connected in a lan, and receiving UDP data from a single server, Can your asset help me on this? thank you.

 

Hi, Now MNF can't help you.
But It can help you after next version update.
(Next Version number is 1.2.0)

I have a question. Why do you use udp protocol?
I think you want server/client model.
- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0E9dZSI60JIMm4xSDFVTUFjUUU

If you want Server/Client model, I recommend you use TCP Protocol.
(MNF supports Server/Client model)

 

Hi, actually i need a fast protocol, cos i'm sending data continuosly, so tcp is not fast enough to garantee a mechanism, like videogame servers, to synch characters movement into a map.
I think best solution is to use an UPD multicast and let the router do the job.

 

I'm very late. So sorry.

You're right. Udp is fast than tcp.
However, if nagle is turned off, tcp can be as fast as udp.

Now MNF is updated version 1.2.1.
MNF can support reliable udp, look around other devices in Wi-Fi.

Thanks regards.

 

Hi, MNF is updated v1.2.1.

[1.2.1]
- Example Refactoring

[1.2.0]
- Reliable UDP
- Look Around other device in Wi-Fi
- JSON protocol messge change

I have two Unity projects that I want to connect and communicate between. So, one Server project and one client project. The client need to be able to find out if a server is running (via broadcast?) and connect to it. Is this possible with MNF?

 

Hi, Morothar.
I'm sorry for late reply.

MNF is able to find out a server in Wi-Fi.


MNF supports server/client and model via TCP.


MNF supports p2p model via UDP.


Thanks for your ask.

 

Hi, everyone

Do you want to find out devices in Wi-Fi?
You can find out via 'LookAround in Wi-Fi' Asset.
It's very easy and simple. Just call start(), get().

- Support iOS IL2CPP

 

I am not sure. This has nothing to do with Unet right?
So if i want to use this and also want to syincronize animations and such i have to program everything by myself?

 

Hi, RandAIThor.

MNF was developed to enable low-level networks on mobile.
So MNF does not support animation synchronization.
There is no plan to support this feature yet.

Tell me if you have the features you need.
If implementation is not difficult, I will try to make it as possible as possible.

Have a good day

Hello I would like to know if this asset serves me to connect a PC with an android tablet. I'm making a game where you play from a tablet and see everything through a pc that will show everything on a 4k TV in real time, clarto that on the television will not always see the same as the tablet only when you press play Transmit what happens on the tablet.

 

Hi finx,

Do you want these step?

1. Your tablet connect to PC. (PC is connected 4k TV)
2. PC will show everything throught 4k TV.
3. You play with tablet.
4. Your tablet will send game play data to PC.

Is right? I'm sorry, I don't understand everything
Below is my answer.

1. Your tablet connect to PC. (PC is connected 4k TV)
> MNF can support server/client(TCP), p2p(UDP) models, so it's possible.
> I reommand server/client model.
> I think that PC will be server and Tablet will be client.

2. PC will show everything throught 4k TV.
3. You play with tablet.
> Maybe this is your part.

4. Your tablet will send game play data to PC.
> MNF's server/client are possible to send some data .
> But I don't know what is play data.
> I think that play data is tablet display streaming. Is right?
> If it's right, MNF can support. But I don't recommend it.
> Because it is very inefficient.

hello nsjokt MNF include HeartBeat？thanks

 

Hello.
The heartbeat feature is not implemented.
But if you want, I can make and update it.

I have a question.
Do you want to check the heartbeat in tcp?

It will be updated soon.
Have a goo day

 

Hello,

I am looking for an asset that allows me to have a client and a server connect and exchange messages using the same LAN/Wifi without having to use a Lobby system. Does MNF allow this? The demos that you show are all on the same machine so I am not sure if this is going to work.

Thanks in advance,

 

Hi,

MNF can allow server/client model in wifi without lobby system.
(Server/Client network model uses TCP/IP)

And MNF can communicate with other equipment.

-- Server has public IP or same LAN/wifi IP --
PC <-> Device(iOS/Android)
Notebook <-> Device(iOS/Android)
Device(iOS/Android) <-> Device(iOS/Android)

Thanks your interest

 

Hi, LostPanda

I'm sorry, I'm very late.

I have updated heartbeat feature to MNF asset and example repository.
You can see it in example repository.

Scritp/2_Echo/Client/EchoClientBinaryMessageDispatcher.cs
Scritp/2_Echo/Client/EchoClientJsonMessageDispatcher.cs
Scritp/2_Echo/Server/EchoServerBinaryMessageDispatcher.cs

And SuperSocket example in VS_Example solution.

Hi,

I just bought this asset, and tried to test it on my devices (both Androids). However the devices failed to connect to each other (I must have missed something during the setting up process). Is it possible to list the steps needed to generate the apk as a general guide to new buyers?

Plus, is it possible to port the asset so that it could run on Linux desktop too? In most cases the example programs couldn't accept inputs after "start server" or "start client" button was pressed.

Thanks.

Cheers,

 

Hi, Muhamad_Faizol.

I think that you have to check below step.

1. Android build log
   1. Build error log
2. Android Devices log
   1. Error / Exception in Devices
3. Android Devices have same Wi-Fi
   1. It is very important.

MNF was not tested on linux, was tested on osx, windows.

Could you send me a androids log and linux log?
I have to see your logs because it is required for analysis.

And could you use Skype and TeamViewer?
If you can, I will help you via them.

ps. I have received your email and thanks your detail feedback.

Have a good day

Hi, Everyone.

MNF has updated 2.1.8.

MNF iOS/Android build guide has updated.
(Ovidiu, thank you very much for giving me some good advice)

MNF can send packets to the device registered in the same wifi through LookAround.

[Look Around]

 

Hi nsjokt,

bought your asset and am playing with it. The LookAround service works quite good. The method LookAround.Instance.GetResponseEndPoint() does however return clients which are not on the network anymore.

Testcase:
1. Have one client set as server, the other one as client. Then "LookAround". Everything works.
2. Turn off client device.
3. LookAround.Instance.GetResponseEndPoint() on "server" does still return client device ip (forever).

Only way to prevent this is to start server application new.

It's maybe not so much a bug but a feature request: Can you add functionality for a timeout. Where the LookAround service clears all EndPoints identified and builds them new when a message is received?

 

Hi rayfoundry,

Thank you for your interest in MNF.

The functionality you talked about can be implemented right away.
I'll implement and let you know right away.

Thank you for telling a good opinion.

Have a good day

 

Hi rayfoundry,

I added the timeout feature you mentioned in LookAround. It will now be deleted if it does not respond within the specified time.

Thanks to the added features. Thank you very much.

I would like to send my work to you by mail, are you ok?

 

Hello. I have created a MNF TCP Basic guide document.

This document will help you learn how to create a TCP-based server and client with MNF.

1. Create Client
2. Create Server
3. Server And Client Communication
4. Running the Server And Client

If you have any questions or have questions, please let me know.

 

hi,

I would like to see new example : DbDispatcher execute() function from messageque for login server.

Thank you.

 

Hello,

I'm going to create a DBDispatcher.execute () example that hooks up the login server and mysql.
I would appreciate it if you can confirm that this is what you want.

Have a good day

 

Hi dev,

I recently purchased this asset. My question is can this help me mirror what my gear vr can see to windows .exe build? Also I'm having trouble with the UDP client scene, I can't have the two programs display the ball animations just like in the video demonstration. Thank you

 

Sorry for the late reply.

It is expected that there will be two methods.

1. Capture the scene shown in the gear VR and send the packet to the Windows build.
2. Creates a packet of events from the gear VR and sends it to the Windows device.

Of these two, I recommend 2.
No. 1 should probably use a video codec, and it is not scalable.

 

Thank you for your reply. But I'm still new to Unity and currently developing my thesis. I appreciate your support but I seem to find hurdles with your asset. With that I would like a refund, If you can show me how to do it step-by-step It can change my decision. Very sorry for the request because I'm lacking the time and funding.

 

I'm sorry for your inconvenience.
It is possible to develop the function you want, but now it seems to be difficult to support because I'm working on other functions. I will process the refund by e - mailing the purchase history to me.

However, the Udp Client does not work, but I would appreciate it if you send me the Udp Client log file.
Within the same WiFi iOS <-> Android, Mac <-> iOS, this was not a problem when tested, but it seems to need to check for other issues.

I hope to see good results in the ongoing projects.

 

Thank you. I sent the purchase history.
