In my game I need to get the local network IP of the computer that is running the game, and for that purpose I have the following code:
I've manually set up my local network IP to be 192.168.1.150, but when I run the code above, I get the IP 169.254.51.115.
Because I wasn't expecting such IP, I ran the ipconfig/all command (on Windows) and I got the following output (I've translated the output because my computer is in another language, and I've deleted the information that isn't relevant to this):
So, from my understanding point of view, Game Maker is getting the Ethernet Npcap Loopback Adapter instead of the regular ethernet adapter.
I could delete the Npcap Loopback adapter, but what if a user has wifi and ethernet connection?
Is there a way for Game Maker to choose one or another adapter?
In case the previous answer is no, is there a workaround for this to avoid getting the Npcap loopback adatper?
Code:
// Create event
randomize();
var random_port = irandom_range(49152,65535);
host = network_create_server(network_socket_udp, random_port, 5);
if ( host < 0 ) {
show_message("Failed to create a broadcast server");
game_end();
} else {
var tsock = network_create_socket(network_socket_udp);
var tbuff = buffer_create(32, buffer_fixed, 1);
buffer_fill(tbuff, 0, buffer_bool, 0, 32);
network_send_broadcast(tsock, random_port, tbuff, buffer_get_size(tbuff));
network_destroy(tsock);
buffer_delete(tbuff);
}
Code:
/// Async network event
global.game_ip = string(async_load[? "ip"]);
instance_destroy();
Because I wasn't expecting such IP, I ran the ipconfig/all command (on Windows) and I got the following output (I've translated the output because my computer is in another language, and I've deleted the information that isn't relevant to this):
