Hi, I'm working on local multiplayer right now and until a few days ago, I've always been able to host or join a session with my prototype. But now I'm getting the following error: ioctlsocket failed with error: -1 Error (0x 2736): Could not set socket option I've already set my network to...

Hello, i made a simple server for my online game, and the task manager is showing it is slowly increasing memory usage, when i open the server the memory usage is about 18.000kb and after around 10 hours, the server reaches 200.000kb or more. There's always around 40 players online. All the...

So basically I have a basic multiplayer (server - client) in my game running on TCP protocol, but I wanted to see how it works on UDP. But when I do this (change from tcp to udp) client can't connect to the server, like it entered wrong IP (same result). Could you please tell me if I should...

Whenever I create a Server on my desktop computer it creates a network that's visible to my laptop so I can connect to it. But doing it the other way around my desktop can't seem to see my laptops network. I've disabled all network firewalls. So, I'm not sure what the problem is. I have also...

hello I am getting into udp networking in gamemaker and I was wondering how to sync a object by a instance id? I keep getting back different ids then what is on the other end. I would think instance id's start from some base number and amount sequentially during the programs life but it seem...

SOLVED Using the following code... client = network_create_socket(network_socket_ws); server = network_connect(client, "192.168.0.1", 64198 ); So basically... network_connect is suppose to return less than zero is no server is running. However, it returns 0 no matter WHAT. Even if there's no...

Hello, let's say you have a master server that all it does is match players with each other by sending their IP. How would you make those matched players connect to each other? Wouldn't they have to have a port opened? Is there a way to make this connection without the players needing to...

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to make P2P connection. I have found no information, most of the documentation and tutorials use a server-client architecture, with different projects for the server and client or having a client to host the server. Thanks in advance.

Hey there! I have an unusual question about sockets. Is it only neccesary to use the network_destroy function when I need to change a socket type? When should I use this function in game maker? Does it have any importance if I want to connect to different servers over the time? Thanks!

Hello, This might be a silly topic, as it might turn into nerd talk. Let's keep it simple. Anyways, from what I have gathered (quickly), there are no anti-cheat features in GMS2, I was just thinking about it. (The closest feature I found is obfuscation when deploying to HTML5.) Since I am...

I'm using an online server called "x10hosting.com/". I'm able to make a text file on the server and get data from it in GMS2. However, I would like to upload data to this text file on my server using GMS2. Is there anyway this can be done? Any help is appreciated.

Until now, I've been using the http_post_string() function to allow testers to send me debug logs from their mobile devices. (It sent to a PHP script on my web server, which then emailed me a copy.) It appears that we can't use http_post_string() within Android any more, although GameMaker...

Hey there! I need to make a mobile app, it has to communicate with a server in real time and I need this server to be online with a Google VPS virtual machine. Someone in the forum told me that, to run a GM's game executable (the server would be a desktop executable) you need a video card. So...

Hey there! I am going to create an Android App which will communicate with a server using GM Networking system. My question is: Is there a problem if I make 2 projects, one for the android app and the other one (desktop windows) to be run in a virtual machine that will hold the server? Would...

Hey there! I am just one question away from buying the licence to export to Android and IOS. My app needs to interact with a server 24/7, I've seen that Google offers some server tools to use, also Amazon and other big companies. So the question is, is there a problem if I want to run the...

Hi. I am looking into multi-threading. Having set up a project handling networking, I want to integrate it with "execute shell" (a marketplace asset which allows loading up a second instance of a project) The two versions will communicate with each other, and then I'll see how it can be handled...
