I am attempting to make my first networking game on GM, but I am having large lag spikes very frequently. In my code the client sends the sever the current_time, server sends back that time, and client compares that to the current_time, giving me my ping. The game is running at 60fps (both...

Hello everybody, I recently got a idea for a game I'd like to prototype... a sidescroller. However, as my previous game I want this one to be online at one point as well. For my earlier games I had two seperate programs. The client (game) and the server. What happened due to this is that the...

Hey! I am having some difficulty dealing with networking - sending and receiving packets. Right now I am stuck with the following problem: whenever I call network_send_packet() the function returns a real positive number (indicating that it has worked correctly ), although, the server is not...

Hi Everyone! Apologies if this isn't exactly the correct place to ask this question, I was tossing up between posting it here and the 'Game Design, Development, and Publishing' board, but I figured it's slightly more tech-based so I'd stick it here. Anyway! I'm currently considering an idea...

This is a weird one, ive been trying to create a network with a server and several clients for a while now and for some reason when i try to connect multiple clients to the same server, the second one can never connect.

Hello! I posted this earlier this week and went back on the thread, so I'm back again for help from the community. I'm currently developing a multiplayer game with a UDP server in Python. My issue is that I want to secure the communication between the game client in GMS 2 and my server in...

So I have an object called obj_connection. Within that object there's two events. A create event and a asynchronous networking event. Create: init_connection(); connect(); Both scripts work, I've used show_debug_message along the way and it has indeed done all it need to do. Asynchronous...

I'm currently exploring networking and I'm creating a chat program for 2 users as a first project. I have set up everything I need except one thing. I want the server to send to my two clients a text string, the string with the chat history. My server has two variables names socket1 and socket2...

There are a lot of options for multiplayer games. I haven't properly dug into GM networking functions but have used SQL databases to store information online. I wondered how fast it is using GM http_post to a .php file which then talks to a SQL database - so decided to do a speed test...

I'm developing a multiplayer game in which the map changes frequently during the course of the match. To be more specific, I have a ds_list server-side that contains all the values of map objects that need to be destroyed. Everything so far is working, as the objects can be transferred to...
