This looks like an easy-to-use, neat library.
When do you estimate to have UDP support done?
i cant get it to work tell me what am doing wrong here
Here i Create Sevrer
ArrayList names = new ArrayList();
public void CreateServer() {
GNetServer server = new GNetServer("127.0.0.1", 8080);
server.addEventListener(new ServerEventListener()
{
@Override
protected void connectionEvent(final ClientModel client, final ServerEvent event)
{
if (event.clientConnected) {
Sys.SendSysMsg(names+"");
}
}
@Override
protected void packetReceived(ClientModel client, Packet packet) {
if (packet.getPacketName().equals("LoginPacket"))
{
String name = (String) packet.getEntry("name");
int id = (int) packet.getEntry("id");
names.add(name);
Sys.SendSysMsg(id+"");
return; // event handled.
}
}
});
if (server.bind())
{
server.start();
}
}
Here is when i connect to server
public void ConnectToServer(String ip,int port) {
GNetClient client = new GNetClient("127.0.0.1", 8080);
client.addEventListener(new ClientEventListener()
{
@Override
protected void connectionEvent(ServerModel server, ClientEvent event) {
if(event.connected) {
Packet loginPacket = new loginPacket("JIM", 1);
server.sendPacket(loginPacket);
}
}
@Override
protected void packetReceived(ServerModel serverModel, Packet packet) {
return; // event handled.
}
});
if (client.bind())
{
client.start();
}
}
Login Packet
public class loginPacket extends Packet{
public loginPacket(String username, int ID) {
super("LoginPacket", 2);
addEntry("name", username);
addEntry("id", ID);
}
}
it wont print out the name or add it to the list?!
You’re doing everything right 
You just need to move the client to its own file, to my knowledge you can’t connect a client in the same file / JVM you’ve opened the server on.
Example of what you’re trying to do I believe:
public static void main(String[] args) {
openServer();
connectSomeClient();
}
(Sorry if I’m not using the proper terms/being descriptive enough as I just woke up, I’ll be more than happy to help you if you need it, just post back or PM me ^__^)
Notice how in the package overview picture, ClientTest and ServerTest are present? (2 different files)
Example of what you need to do: (2 different files, 1 for server, 1 for client, each has their own main method)
// ServerLauncher.java
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Open your server normally as you've done.
}
// ClientLauncher.java
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Connect to the server like you've done.
}
Thanks!
Hopefully within the next week 
it still wont let me print the players x and y
if (packet.getPacketName().equals(“LoginPacket”))
{
Integer x = (Integer) packet.getEntry(“xpos”);
Integer y = (Integer) packet.getEntry(“ypos”);
Sys.SendSysMsg(x+","+y);
return; // event handled.
}
btw can you add functions like this
if(client.HasConnected()){}
if(!client.HasConnected()){}
there is a bug that you can keep on pressing a button to connect same client 10000 times xD
I love it! It’s very user friendly 8)
and this metod does not seam to work btw it wont print or anything been trying for hours to print x and y
int x;
int y;
g2.drawString("xpos: "+x+" ypos: "+y, 50, 180);
@Override
protected void packetReceived(final ClientModel client, final Packet packet)
{
if (packet.getPacketName().equals("LoginPacket"))
{
x = (int) packet.getEntry("xpos");
y = (int) packet.getEntry("ypos");
Sys.SendSysMsg("RECIVED!");
return; // event handled.
}
Sys.SendSysMsg("RECIVED!");
}Thank you! ;D ;D
In the opening post I posted everything required to perform what you’re trying to do mate
- Sorry you’re having troubles.
What you need to do:
Open server in its own public static void main(String[] args) method.
Connect a client in its own public static void main(String[] args) method.
Once the clients connected to the server, send your packet: (Like you’re wanting to do)
@Override
protected void connectionEvent(final ServerModel server, final ClientEvent event)
{
if (event.connected)
{
// we've just connected to the server
// proceed to send the CoordsPacket to the server.
Packet coordPacket = new Packet("CoordsPacket", 2);
coordPacket.addEntry("x", new Integer(50));
coordPacket.addEntry("y", new Integer(100));
return; // event handled.
}
}
Than server-sided you’ll receive the packet and handle the data as you wish:
@Override
protected void packetReceived(final ClientModel client, final Packet packet)
{
if (packet.getPacketName().equals("CoordsPacket"))
{
Integer x= (Integer) packet.getEntry("x");
Integer y= (Integer) packet.getEntry("y");
// Do something with the data
return; // event handled.
}
}
Hope this is simple enough for you to get a trial working, are any other users having issues?
What do you mean by this?
This is a multi-threaded server meaning it’s not meant to handle 1 client only, it can handle multiple clients.
Are you saying that once you create your GNetClient you can spam the bind/start methods to continuously connect the same client?
yes!
what i mean by this
@Override
protected void packetReceived(final ClientModel client, final Packet packet) {
Sys.SendSysMsg("RECIVE!");
if (packet.getPacketName().equals("move")) {
double xp = (double) packet.getEntry("x");
double yp = (double) packet.getEntry("y");
Sys.SendSysMsg("RECIVE!");
}
Sys.SendSysMsg("RECIVE!");
return; // event handled.
}
it wont print msg or anything i can send packets from server to client
and client sends the pack but server does not take it and i cant use its data i have been trying all night
and yes am starting them in main string args thing
here is concol here it connects and sends packet
GNetClient -> Obtaining target host address.
GNetClient -> Target host obtained, attempting to connect to it.
GNetClient -> We’ve been connected to the server.
GNetClient -> Sending packet: LoginPacket
but server does not say RECIVE
GNetServer -> Obtaining target host address.
GNetServer -> Target host obtained, attempting to bind to it.
GNetServer -> Server is now being broadcasted on given address.
GNetServer -> A client has been connected. (online: 1)
System: Client Has Connected!
or that packet has been sent
Thank you Helped me fix a bug.
Turns out I didn’t initialize the clients ‘connected’ variable when/where I should of
- Fixed
Uploading new .jar and source files.
thanks =D
tell me when thay are uploaded =D
Updated links in OP for downloading fixed update and source
i might do some tutorials on how to use this library once i get pretty good at it
it have learned me so much about networking in 1 day it’s really good for beginners =D
That would be awesome XD
Glad I could help if you need any more help PM me, would like to make a more in-depth tutorial once I get familiar with github ;D

Overhauling the library -
(8) Habit 8)) -
V0.0.0.3 will take some time before ready for release, sorry D:
Looks Awesome Greate Job!!!
Yes, a multi-threaded TCP server framework is included in V0.0.0.2.
(V0.0.0.3 will hopefully include a advanced multi-threaded TCP/UDP server framework)
At the moment there’s no ‘limit’ for the amount of clients you can connect although I would like to add one, along with a login queue system
NOTE: I’m still working on the server/client (GNetLib) library overhaul with UDP implementation in mind, it will take some time as I’ve never tried any UDP related programming.
Thanks for replying.

On another note:
For those who have used this library, is there anything you’d like to see added?
