update: - start pos had been sent, but there was a type conversion error in CGameServer from uchar -> float, so they were wrong - you can now change speed etc. in demo playback, isDemoServer() got fixed - "Overflow when sending to remote connection 39997 5 40000" was a copy'n'past error, t...

update:
new CDemoRecorder and CDemoReader
all the demo stuff is done in CNetProtocol now, not on CNet anymore
updated to svn 3870 (which breaks almost the whole new CNet, but patches now are integrated (in CDemoReader) )

/home/~~~~/spring/trunk/game/libjavaunitsync.so: libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's probably because I have boost 1.34 installed. How do I rebuild libjavaunitsync?

better packet handling with decreased overhead
maybe fix bugs

I just checked it out and its very well documented, so there shouldn't be any problems

I will continue working on the netcode because there are still lots of things to do...

(I'm presuming here that your code is good enough.)

If it isn't considered good enough, I can still work on the netcode to make it better

I've added some statistic functions to CConnection, the result after 6 Minutes of playing Nanoblobls (random enemies)(from server view): Network statistics for 127.0.0.1 Bytes send: 173593 (Overhead: 66969) Bytes recieved: 117927 (Overhead: 52807) This means: 28 % of the traffic is protocol overhead

I have a general question: Why does spring use UDP :roll: ? Since spring needs reliable and in-order packages wouldn't it be usefull to use TCP? As far as I understand, spring implements: 1. acknowledgement of recieved packets 2. resent of unacknowledged packets 3. head-of-line-blocking 4. packet or...

Hello, I was bored so I made some changes in the networking code of spring. I tried to send this in the mailing list but its too big and got rejected, so I will post it here: Here's what I have done in a short form: - CNet is now independent from CNetProtocol - moved map name, mod name and script na...
