What it is
Part 1 of Tom Weiland's C# networking tutorial series, showing how to set up a TCP connection between a dedicated server application and a Unity client. It is a screen-recorded coding walkthrough, and the description notes the series is outdated and points to a newer version.

Yes, it is possible, with virtual hosts, virtual machines. If you are working in windows, take a look at XAMPP or WAMPP if you are in a Mac. This is a little big larger: 127.0.0.1 is the localhost (basically, yourself) also known as loopback adress. And 0.0.0.0 is a non-routable meta-adress. Basically it serves to designate invalid targets, it's like a placeholder for "unknown" adresses. Serves to designate invalid targets doesn't means that is an invalid adress! In your context, if you're using the 0.0.0.0 as a server it means "all IPv4 adresses on the local machine". If a host has two IP addresses, 192.168.1.1 and 10.1.2.1, and a server running on the host listens on 0.0.0.0, it will be re

First of all, at the top of your script: using System; using System.Net.Sockets; Then, create an instance of TcpClient and begin the connection: socket = new TcpClient { // dataBufferSize is in bytes ReceiveBufferSize = dataBufferSize, SendBufferSize = dataBufferSize }; socket.BeginConnect(ip, port, ConnectCallback, socket); In ConnectCallback() : private void ConnectCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult) { socket.EndConnect(asyncResult); if (!socket.Connected) return; // stream is a NetworkStream you should declare somewhere stream = socket.GetStream(); // receiveBuffer is a byte[] you should declare somewhere receiveBuffer = new byte[dataBufferSize]; stream.BeginRead(receiveBuffer, 0, dataBuff

I am trying to set up a test server for a simple Game and I am following a tutorial ( [this video] ). The problematic bit of code is: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.Net.Sockets; namespace GameServer { class Client { public static int dataBufferSize = 4096; public int id; public TcpClient tcp; public Client(int _clientId) { id = _clientId; tcp = new TCP(id); } public class TCP { public TcpClient socket; private readonly int id; private NetworkStream stream; private byte[] receiveBuffer; public TCP(int _id) { id = _id; } } } } Whenever I try to run the program I get the error from the title because of this block of code(precisely th
