Ryzom

I can't help you much on the subject, but have a look in:
code\nel\samples\net

Those samples might help you.

in client sources, net_manager.cpp has most (if not all) callbacks.
for outgoing packets, search for GenericMsgHeaderMngr.pushNameToStream

Thanks for the help, i saw buildStream in network_connection.cpp and wondered if that would be where it is received? I have pretty much deduced that the downstream is sent through the frontend_service (via a child thread i believe) using flushMessages.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

@nimetu: I saw that but as i said i am not too interested in client->server just the other way, are there callbacks for that too? Thanks for the insight.

callback tells NeL what to do with incoming data, i.e. what function to pass it. each packet pretty much starts with callback name.

Ah thank you! How the ryzom system is set up makes far more sense..

My only issue now is that it uses UDP to send packets, i was wondering if there was any way to transfer to TCP/IP or if there is an easy way to detect dropped packets on the server.

client should only talk to frontend service so thats a good place to start digging I think. On client side, packet loss is calculated in network_connection.cpp.
