  • It depends on what you're willing to achieve.

    For a turn-based online game, having a high latency wouldn't be an issue at all.

    For fast paced action it's important to keep synced information as slim as possible.

    In the end, peer to peer can be a good choice, depending on design of your game.

    I've done several local-tests, and never had any real lag issues.

    It's important that you don't make any mistakes with trying to sync information which you've not properly set.

    Doing so can cause major lag problems. It will look as if the "internet connection" is terrible.

    For a 1vs1 fighter game it would be important to create a proper Host-Side check which calculates "back in time" where exactly the player was staying at the time he punched. That way you can prevent issues that the player sees what actually happens. Otherwise the player might punch the opponent, the host however thinks that the opponent was too far away, with that does not count the hit.

    Ashley made some good examples in your examples folder of construct 2. You should also checkout his official tutorials.

    If you tech yourself the multiplayer features, i think you should be able to get it done right.

    But i can only recommend to read the tutorials entirely through.

    Alternatives are not easy and require more knowlegde.

    Construct 2 does not offer a Dedicated Host feature. So peer to peer is the only official solution available.

    Unless you use a workaround by running the game as HOST on a dedicated server and leave it nonstop running/online.

  • Sony and Microsoft are heading more and more towards Indie Devs.

    Since Construct2 is a great tool for designers (without programming skills), i think it's a great opportunity for Microsoft to get their hands on some very unique Indie Games.

    And of course for us, to reach out to a much broader and great audience!

    I would love to have access to:

  • I'm also working on a bigger project using it. I hope it's still in C3 as it will take some years to finish it.

    And no problem, i'm happy that i was able to help.

  • Installed a SSL certificate but for some reason i can't connect.

    I will just leave the current running signalling server online.

    It seems a few people are using it already, so i guess it's enough for now

  • Someone just connected.

    And omg sorry i posted the wrong IP xD i forgot 2 digits

    corrected it now!

    But i'm setting up a SSL certificate right now, i will keep you posted.

  • tonypond

    It works for me, just tested it.

    Did you enter the correct IP?

    The problem might be that i'm not using SSL

    It states:

    // SSL configuration. Use of SSL is strongly recommended. Due to some firewalls, routers or

    // NAT devices in use on the Internet, insecure WebSocket connections may not be able to connect

    // where a secure WebSocket connection can. Encryption prevents buggy packet-inspecting

    // middleboxes from meddling with the traffic on the assumption port 80 is HTTP web traffic.

    and

    Choosing a

    // non-standard port may cause some firewalls, routers or NAT devices to block the connection.

    The problem is that i can't offer you any of it.

    Because i'm running other services on this server which would interfere and i don't have a SSL certificate

    Letme check, maybe i can get a SSL certificate.

    I'm on it.

    I've setup a Signal Server for you guys.

    Feel free to use it for now.

    It's running on a dedicated server in Europe/Germany with a 60Gbit/s backbone.

    Set Connect to signalling server inside your project event to:

    "ws://92.51.171.10:12475"

    Please note that it's not running as SSL nor on standard-port 80

    Some player might have connection issues. But i still hope i was able to help you guys.

    Have fun

  • Damnit, just wanted to test some major changes xD

    I think i should setup my own signalling server since i bought one already.

    That they split C3 up into two major versions: Game & Enterprise. C3:Game would be focused on canvas-based JavaScript abstraction (their previous idea of C3), while C3:Enterprise would be focused on non-canvas JavaScript abstraction. The Enterprise version would contain things like site formatting, tables, authentication, database access, caching, among other things. They would also be able to do C3:Ultimate, which would contain both Game & Enterprise versions.

    Someone's summoning bloody fingertips right there xD

    Nevertheless, i hope it's going to blow us away. Or the big secret might push an overhype as usual.

    Which creates major disappointment throughout the community.

    Whatever...

    I'm looking forward to it.

    The most important thing is, that it supports C2 project backwards compatibility.

    So we can work on longer projects while knowing that we can continue our work using the new mighty C3.

    Would still be great to hear any news about it (no details about features or something like that).

    But teasers?!

    Or aprox. release date (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years...)

    Or aprox. release date for alpha / beta so we can help to mold the outcome with actual feedback.

    Something to look forward to.

    I have subscribed by mail to the news on day 1.

    Yet haven't recieved even one mail yet.

  • The way you should design your multiplayer game shall always be to send the tiniest amount of data possible.

    Syncing the position of all Players is also normal.

    System ¦ On start of layout -
-- Multiplayer ¦ Sync PlayerObject (with Position only, precision Low (int16, 2bytes) at Normal bandwith (unpredictable)[/code:1pv07suh]

Please note that you still require a basic Multiplayer Setup.
To connect everyone with each other and associate each Player Object with a Multiplayer.PeerID

Here are the basics about Multiplayer and the Plugin:

[i]Checkout the Multiplayer example .capx files inside your Construct 2 installation folder.
There are multiple ones and should help you to understand how everything works.[/i]
[b]Construct 2/examples[/b]

In a normal Multiplayer Setup you usualy have a 
HOST - Moves players, Shoots for them, Tells everyone what they're actually doing like Player Position and so on.
PEERS - Recieves Data from HOST and displays what's going on. Sends INPUT only to host (Mouse Clicks, Keyboard Strokes)

  • aquadijoib

    I'm using the AddLog for Chat only, as used in the multiplayer example from Ashley.

    It works just fine.

    But i've never tested it to send anything else.

  • troublesum

    The problem with your code is, that it's not really well synced.

    It's always pretty off and then resyncs the position, so you see other players warping/bugging around like crazy.

    You notice that already when normally moving, but it becomes much worse if the players is hitting multiple directions at the same time, like jumping to the right and mid air to start pressing left while still pressing right.

    So other players will see you still moving to the right until it's synced which then warps you a long way to the left.

    Or by pressing left and right at the same time, the peer starts twitching.

    That's far from perfect, the official behaviour with InputPrediction works way better for me.

    The only positive thing i've noticed as slight improvements on the latency.

    Still great to see another aproach though.

  • Yes it's absolutely possible.

    Isometric however isn't easy to work with.

    But rex_zSorter Plugin helps you to do the layer ordering automaticaly.

    So you will be able to freely move around behind, and in front of the table and it will look correct.

    Here:

    http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_zsorter.html

    Pathfinding within an isometric environment works as well out of the box.

    Everything you ask for is possible.

    But it's not going to be easy.

  • Maybe add a "send to peer"

    Otherwise the messages are not being sent out?!

    It's hard to tell if we can't see the entire code.
