multiplayer

Hello. I am currently in the foundation phase of a making a game with multiplayer functionality. But currently I've hit a speed bump and been unable to fix it for the last 3 days. I've made an non-dedicated multiplayer system, where one player hosts the game, and others connect. (Host will...

I can't figure out why the second client on the server doesn't get the data in the buffer. Error: illegal undefined/null use I'm trying to query the coordinates and status of the player

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working properly? I have made a Player Controller Input object o_input, o_inputP2, o_inputP3 & o_inputP4 with a menu Switch statement so each player can actually choose what slot their controller will be in. I have different modes the menus work in, but this...

Like the title says, both players lose connection when I change rooms. Before hand, I'm new to networking and I'm spawning both of them on a setup room to verify if both players are working correctly. However, going to the first level makes the buffers not reach the host and the clients. I've...

I have my game setup where if there are more than 1 player, they can each use a controller. But, how would I "reserve" a controller slot for player 1? Since the way I currently have it working is, that in 1 player mode, the 1st player can use either the keyboard OR a controller. But, because of...

So after seeing that other topic, I decided to test UDPHP. TL;DR, you can circumvent the need for a server if you just connect two sockets together. And holy crap, it works... 99% of the time... But what I'd love help with, is checking how often this works in the real world. Because there's no...

I'm making a PVP/Tower Defense multiplayer game in GMS2 and I'm wondering how secure it is. What I mean by that is, if I store something like, for example, how much damage a weapon does on the client-side, is it possible/how easy is it for a hacker to hack the client and change that value to...

Hi I have been working on a multiplayer system for awhile now and decided to make a server based system where the calculations are being handled by the server. This has caused the lag and response time of the game to drastically increase and I can handle collision server-side this way. But after...

Hi all, I’m in the process of applying the steam sdk to my game and I noticed that we are advised to use version 1.42. Recently steam announced with their latest sdk that remote play is now possible. My game features split screen and I was always disappointed that I couldn’t figure out how to...

Lately I've been dabbling a bit in multiplayer coding and now I've come to a point where I'd like to have some help. The basic idea is that I generate a random map of 1024x1024 destroyable tiles. Now what I'm wondering is how to transfer this map to the players. The option that makes most sense...
