The only thread I could find on this subject isn’t very clear. Has anyone tried Red Dwarf Server with Unity? If so, is there still an issue with multi-nodes? I’ve recently downloaded Red Dwarf so if I come up with my own answers I’ll post them here.
I would assume no one has tried it as it seems to be a java library, which isn’t supported in Unity.
Seeing as I have no server side experience with Unity, I have to accept that response. I have to admit, it’s a bit confusing to me though. It doesn’t seem as if Server/Client communication would be language specific. You’re passing data such as variables, strings, and arrays. If I understand correctly, it would be like using javascript on a webpage to pass information on to PHP or CGI on a server.
Yes? No? Maybe?
Red Dwarf is a java socket server so you can connect to it using .net sockets
That’s what I figured.
Thanks for the update.
EDIT: I probably should have just edited this post, but I wanted to be sure it was seen so I made a new post below regarding Red Dwarf.
I don’t know if anyone is interested in this, but I just read on Red Dwarf’s website that it is definitely indifferent to client side programming languages. Which only makes sense.
The reason I’m so interested in Red Dwarf is because it’s a fork from Dark Star, which was a product from Sun Micro systems. Sun was responsible for products like Java, NetBeans, and My SQL. I fear that Oracle is going to destroy other products from Sun (Oracle bought out Sun).
Anyway, I’m going to test with Red Dwarf first to see how usable it is (I suspect it will be a positive experience). I will report any results to this thread. I think it might be helpful to the rest of you - even if you aren’t considering Red Dwarf.
UPDATE: I looking to see if Red Dwarf has C# or .NET API’s (It has the former. The latter is a work in progress). I found out that Red Dwarf has UNITY API’s! It’s a separate download. If you want them they are at Unity API’s for Red Dwarf, You can get other API’s here . Including the regular C#.

There may be more
Thanks again. I read that there was a NetBeans plug-in. This video will help to make for an easier start.
