GSN: A Real Network Solution???
GSN = Gamestudio Networking

just name it gamestudio enet plugin, gsep or gep for shrot.

Added the last new functions:
-enet_ent_regist(ENTITY* loc_pointer);
-enet_get_time();

+Changed something on the ping value generation system.

I will implent strings with various length today (no sizelimits anymore) and after that I start with testing the whole plugin and finishing the documentation. I think you will get the first demo this weekend



hmmm... sounds nice!



I don't want to use enet in the name of the plugin because in the pro version you will be able to use functions which have nothing to do with enet (using udp broadcasts, http support,...).

i understand.then Gamestudio Network Plugin, GNP or GSNP

just saying it "gamestudio networking" may lead misunderstandings sometimes.(like people who dont know that it is a plugin may think it is already in the GS.)

BTW plugin is going to be awesome, do you have any price estimation for pro version?(i'll buy it certainly but just wondering.)

right now, I'm working with GSTNET and i've changed too many times (3dgs multiplayer, populace, now gstnet) to choose a new MP engine now, but if this comes with support and a way to create a dedicated server, I'd probably buy it for later games.

@germanunkol: My plugin works nearly the same way like GSTNET, but supports more/some different functions.
I will give support and dedicated servers will be supported!



Of course that's a problem...
I think I will call it ackwire.



Currently not. I still have to think about the prices.


I finished the german manual today. It was a hard piece of work...
The manual contains all the 40 functions well described. All with a Lite-C AND C-Script example.

I think that I won't get everything ready tomorrow because there are still a lot of things to do: Writing the english manual, adding the unlimited data support and testing the whole plugin.

a7net

Hmm... maybe ANet because its not only for A7.

Finished the ulimited data support and did 90% of the testing work.

Its great to hear you are almost finished!
Cant wait to test it!

Do you have an aproximate time it could take you to have the pro version?
Can we buy the standard and then pay the diference in price when the pro version is released?

Of course!



I hope that it finish this before christmas.


Good news: Today I finished the developing of the ANet-Standard/Demo Version!
It's now working with Lite-C, C-Script and A6!

After I finished the english manual (maybe tomorrow?) I will release the demo. Than I'll create a homepage and after this you can buy the full Standard version (no price yet!). I will also create a tutorial than.
