Not having the possibility to restart a server or monitor it sucks.

What if it goes down? who is monitoring the scirra server?

And will we be notisfied if it goes down?

Id rather setup my own, and create some alert system via sms and email, and a control panel for restarting and monitoring.

This current setup is not a stable solution in the end... and i guess thats why we cant connect to to it from Denmark.. Its probably placed in US, and theres latency or something.. Over 12 people have tried. No luck..

Yes, I do agree with you.For the server is not mine, I have not right to do what I want.

It's the same as SVN I think.

But if my partner and I is changing the project at the same time, and I upload the project first, it's no way to merge our changes, right?

As the title.

Before buying a license, I just want to know the how to co-develop, or does C2 support co-developing?

Oh ok.

But what if someone wants to go big.

If thousands of players will be connecting to the signalling server offering hundreds of multiplayer sessions.

I mean of course, if it's just a signalling server, it will only connect them peer to peer to each other.

But still, it would be really great if i could offer a dedicated signalling server on our own, maybe even multiple ones, one for each continent.

Can't agree more...

Very close! The first player into that room will be the server, and I think the Multiplayer plugin has a condition that can trigger when this happens, then you can turn on the monitoring players code instead of the gameplay code (or turn on both if you'd like to play and monitor at the same time).

I think you can have a separate version of the game for players yeah, but they have to have the same game name or they might not find the server I think.

I've not yet played around with Multiplayer too much, but if I get time to make an example I will upload it in this post

Thanks a lot for answering, you are so kind!

No problem, Multiplayer is an advanced concept so I understand

1. Essentially yes. If you are the first person to host a server and leave it running 24/7 nobody else will be able to become a server if you want to prevent that. (or you can password protect it).

2. I believe it's possible, it's just a matter of adding extra functions for when the program is chosen to be server (Eg: You start the game first).

Ah~I totally understand.

It means, if a create an app, which can connect to a "xxx"game,"xxx"instance and "xxx"room,and I write some event to monitor players, it will just become a server!

And, I create another app, which can connect to the some game/instance/room, than they can be what I wanted they be~!

It that correct??

Signalling server is the central point clients connect to in order to re-direct to your game server. I don't know if you can make one yourself, but there is no need to do that as it merely allows players to join your server.

All things that happen regarding the game itself are on your server, or if you allow people to host their own servers then through them.

I take it you're trying to do something like an MMO?

I am so sorry that I still don't get it.(Maybe I am a Chinese and not very good at English, but I am trying hard to communicate with you.)

1.You said “All things that happen regarding the game itself are on your server”, does it mean that when people connect to the signalling server, their game itself will be a server, no need a real server??

2.And you're right, I just trying to do something like an MMO, which I can monitor players with my server. Can C2 do that?=

the Scirra official server is just used for other players to find your game, it's like a master server list. You still code your "server" for your game and code your own way to manage the players. As long as your server is always running, you will be the only person who can control the server.

Maybe the root of this question is, what is signalling server??

To be honest, it's the first time I've heard about it.

Really thanks for answering, but I am not sure if I am totally understand.

Like how do I manager the server and game for the signalling server is not my server, and not under my control??

I have a server, and I want to create a multiplayer game, using my own server.

How do I make my server a signalling server??

Yes, just like somebody enter a room as a host, than other can join.

But that's not what I want.

I just wonder can C2 create a game server?

A MySQL server? no, that's not possible.

A multiplayer game server? Yes, that's possible through the built-in multiplayer object. Here's some tutorials on using it:

I not the multiplayer object can create a multiplayer game.But as the tutorial said, the server is Scirra offical server. I want to build a server on my own server. That I can manager player like online games.

So please, how can I do that?
