NetworkedPlugins

Connect SL servers and send data between them.

Setup

  1. Download Plugin and needed dependency.

  2. Move NetworkedPlugins.dll to Exiled/Plugins and NetworkedPlugins.API.dll to Exiled/Plugins/dependencies.

  3. Start server and wait when plugin generates Exiled/Plugins/NetworkedPlugins/addons-<serverPort>.

  4. How host?

  • If you have way hosting dedicated app use this.
  1. How connect?
  • You need to use same host_connection_key from DedicatedApp to properly connect to that server, also you need to have same host_port.

USING Dedicated APP to HOST

  • Take Windows/Linux ( depends on your server OS )
  • Move all files from downloaded zip to your server and run
  • ./NetworkedPlugins.Dedicated ( LINUX )
  • ./NetworkedPlugins.Dedicated.exe ( WINDOWS )

Some info:

If your host server and server which connects is on localhost you dont need to change host_address but if its on other machine then you need to set that value to public ip.

host_connection_key - Its just password which its needed while connecting to other servers.

host_port - UDP port which will be used for hosting or connecting to server.

Example Addon

LINK

Addon classes are seperated soo addons can run without SL Server and with, if you will use SL/Exiled methods in class which inherits NPAddonDedicated then that will not work, you need to inherit NPAddonClient or NPAddonDedicated

Which things can be done with that?

  • Global broadcasts which are sended to all servers.
  • Report system which works between servers and admins can easily use command to connect to that server.
  • Commands which are created from host/dedicated app and clients ( server which have IsHost set to false ) can receive them without needing to restart SL Servers.
  • Addons can work without installing them on other server ( can be only on host / dedicated app ) but then limitation is from API side of plugin.

For example class which inherits NPAddon(Client/Dedicated/Host) can use method GetServers() which contains all connected servers, every server have methods for example stuff like broadcasts/restarts or other stuff also its way of getting all players and doing stuff for them, changing noclip/godmode check health, kill or redirect them to other servers
