Introducing.. netlib v2.0!
New features:
-Switched to UDP, for faster data sending/recieving
-Added Alert-Me-When

With netlib v2.0, you can create an online lua game easily! You can send and recieve data, AND, still have a rock solid 60 FPS.

Please refer to the readme for more information.

Demo video

If you have any question or need help, post in this thread.

Oh, and thanks to strelzj for the hosting

**alatnet** · 06-30-2006, 09:09 PM

Haven't looked at it yet but i have to say: GOOD F'ING JOB!!! (lol)
One question: Mind if i convert the lua netlib to a c\c++ netlib to be used in c\c++ apps with the help of my lua wifi c\c++ lib (if i can get it to f'ing compile)?

[EDIT]
Just took a look at it and im thinking bout using the old version of netlib and convert the lua code to c\c++ code. Although i may reconfigure the lua c\c++ api code of netlib to be used with my wifi lib.

Well, I was gonna do that, but decided not to. If its in C, there would be more users, and would cause mayhem on the default server. However, if you want, you can host your own netlib server and make a library for that.

**strelzj** · 06-30-2006, 09:26 PM

Alatnet, just dont use my server. Compile the source and host it yourself, on YOUR OWN servers!!

That was the problem for me finding someone to host it. I dont have a spare server to host netlib. But I think you'll think of something

**alatnet** · 06-30-2006, 09:41 PM

true... TIME FOR http://www.free-webhosts.com/. (lol, this is how i found out bout prophp.org)

HunterXI · 07-01-2006, 10:09 AM

Frakking sweet, youresam! I can no longer resist. I'm gonna have to make something with netlib.

**strelzj** · 07-01-2006, 10:13 AM

Only way your gunna host an exe is with some sort of windows server. You either leave your computer on, or find someone to host it.

**nathan42100** · 07-01-2006, 10:22 AM

if you can compile for linux, dreamhost might let us run it on our server...i dunno why they would though.

**altunozara** · 07-02-2006, 05:03 AM

it doesnt work...does it work with 2.6???

**youresam** · 07-02-2006, 11:00 AM

It should..

**strelzj** · 07-02-2006, 10:09 PM

As of Monday, July 3rd - 11:05 A.M. EST , netlib 2.0 will be down for approximately 5-10 hours for server maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience, and next time, i will try to schedule the downtimes during off-peak hours. Thanks for the cooperation from youresam and the rest of the netlib users.

For any who don't know - I host the netlib2.0 server

Please note: Server will be down every so often due to rain storms causing power failures in the area. These should only be temporary and last no longer than 10 mins at the maximum.

**Gutya** · 07-03-2006, 03:38 AM

Thanks youresam, i'm glad some people are still sticking to LUA and not bashing it all the time.

Thanks for supporting

Im sick of how so many people have released useless apps, and now lua is rendered as a language for n00bs.

EDIT: Wow, strelzj, your post made the front page. They must be desperate...

**nathan42100** · 07-03-2006, 08:31 AM

I took the liberty of adding netlib functions and UDP functions to the psDevWiki. Check it out here:

True, but they dont have to release everything they create. Remember the lua shell era? Ugh.

**Altair** · 07-03-2006, 12:32 PM

This is indeed a very usefull addition to LUA! Thx alot for this youresam!

**nathan42100** · 07-04-2006, 01:10 PM

Whats with the server, shouldn´t it be up by now?

KIWIDOGGIE · 07-07-2006, 06:35 AM

how do u set up ur own netlib server for windows

**nathan42100** · 07-07-2006, 09:19 AM

It's a pain in the ass, you don't want to know...

-But if you must, Go into the source for netlib as opposed to LuaPlayer
-Navigate to /bin/Debug/ and run Netlib 2.0.exe
-Set your computer up with a static IP.
-Right before you call netconnect, set netlib_server to your computer's internal IP (for internal testing) or your external IP after forwarding the port 3388 by UDP
-Use netlib normally.

**nathan42100** · 07-08-2006, 12:45 PM

So seriously, whats up with the server

**Altair** · 07-12-2006, 12:11 PM

I guess it's still down? Must be some storms ey

?
Can't psp-programming host the server again?

**youresam** · 07-12-2006, 12:34 PM

The server is UP. However, its acting weird. The hoster of it put it on a wireless network. However, it disconnects from the network for some reason after like 5 minutes of no activity. I found another host, I hope for it to be up in a week.

**Altair** · 07-12-2006, 02:28 PM

Great then i can finally test if i got it right (my netlib code that is).

One question, I used older code of mine, but i seem to forgot what this little part has to be. The thing is, first i connect with my infra connection with "Wlan.useConnectionConfig ()", but then i have to have to open a socket and connect to a host.
That's the thing im unsure of, should i connect to the server or something else, so like this:
socket, error = Socket.connect("home.stre lzsoft.com", 3388) ?

If i do it like this then my code doesn't work. It doesn't seem to connect at all.

P.S. Im confused because i have two different addresses with netlib1.0. With this command and with the netget() and netsend() command's

**youresam** · 07-12-2006, 02:30 PM

Altair: I said its UP, but not working.
And for netlib, you gotta do this:
Wlan.init()
Wlan.useCOnnectionConfig( number)
netconnect()

the netconnect() connects you to the netlib server automatically.

**Altair** · 07-12-2006, 02:33 PM

Yeah ok i got the part that it isn't working, i guess i expressed myself in a wrong way, sorry. Thx for the explanation!

EDIT:
Ok another thing:
"error: netlib.lua:41: attempt to call field 'udpConnect' (a nil value)"
