Need help with basic networking

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hello there. Im sorry to bother. Im kinda frustrated with unity networking, as I found that the examples, guides or even the m2h guide dont work or has errors on unity 3.*.
I dont know about the m2h updated version as I cant afford U$s85 for a tutorial. Its probably a great thing, just out of my possibilities. I looked at youtube examples, 3rd party sites and most link in the unity community answers, but I cant find answers to what I need. I would like a simple basic guide to connecting 2 computers (server and client). I dont want things done, I would like to understand and learn what I need to do.
Sorry I bothered and here’s hoping that someone can throw some light to the matter.

P.s. I want to use unity’s built in functionality and classes. I dont want to use smartfox or any other third party solution.

Thanks. I hope someone has any answer for me.

He has an improved version on the asset store, but it seems a free version in the thread you can download, which should be enough to get you started.

that link has been dead for some time now

How sneaky! My bad you're right, someone's 'sharing' Mike's old guide. Hopefully he's ok with that as I'd say there's a reason why he took it down haha. Thanks for the link!

Steamis50’s youtube channel has quite a large number of Network related videos (and others also). It is quite a long tutorial series but as far as I know the most comprehensive and free one available. Check it out here. You’ll have to work out his strange video naming convention but most of the network stuff is back to back. Enjoy, and give me a shout if you find any better material!
