Multiplayer example?

[bbmario]

Is there any examples lying around about building multiplayer games with Babylon? Maybe just a moving cube, where players can connect and move it around.

Hello,

Hi !

 

Take a look at : https://github.com/Jaskar/BabylonJS-Multiplayer-Exemple

I just upload it.

It works with nwjs & some modules (socket.io, path, express)

 

Steps :

Download NodeWebkit at http://nwjs.io/

Add modules socket.io, path, express (I let you search on the web how to do that)

Download my github repo

Add the package.json, serving and www folders to nwjs folder.

Click on nw.exe

Then, click on the button "open the server"

Ready to play ? Launch a browser and connect to 'localhost' (verify that wamp is not running). You can run as many browser as you want. Each time a new player will spawn. The only limitation is your graphic card.

 

WARNING : This code is just a stack of personnal test, and the code may be not commented or in french. So, you can take a look but at your own risk 

 

If you need some explanation, I'm sitting here

Hey,

Sorry for Bumping an old thread,

I was playing around with your example, Jaskar, and upon trying to add a simple grass texture to the ground, it refuses to load it..

 

Instead of grabing it from the path i provided, "./../textures/grass.png"

 

it tries to GET/ it from http://127.0.0.1/textures/grass.png

and gives 404 error.

 

cheers.

 

EDIT(fix):

express.static wasn't set,

In case anyone else needs this,

navigate to \www\js\app_get.js and add:

 

app.use(express.static(dirName + '/serving'));

The next stage to my RTC game will be to build multiplayer on top of WebRTC.
