RakNet Plugin

A RakNet plugin provides the following functionality for Unigine-based applications out of the box:

• Client/server architecture
• Exchange of time-stamped data through the network
• Synchronization of states between the server and the client
• Statistics about network connection
• LAN server discovery

Network functionality is provided through RakNet, a cross-platform C++ game networking engine, which is integrated into Unigine framework. (See details).

To dynamically load the Network plugin, the following is required:

• Network library of the same bitness/debug version as Unigine executable (for example, libNetwork_x86d.so).
• RakNet library of the same version (for example, libRakNet_x86d.so).
• Define the following command by the engine start-up or in the launcher:
  Shell commands

  main_x86d -extern_plugin Network
  

  Here, you can define path to the Network module (without any prefixes or postfixes): relative to the executable or an absolute one.
