The primary interface for RakNet, RakPeer contains all major functions for the library. See the individual functions for what the class can do.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AddToBanList ( const char *  IP,
RakNet::TimeMS  milliseconds = 0 
)
pure virtual

Bans an IP from connecting. Banned IPs persist between connections but are not saved on shutdown nor loaded on startup. param[in] IP Dotted IP address. Can use * as a wildcard, such as 128.0.0.* will ban all IP addresses starting with 128.0.0

Parameters
[in]millisecondshow many ms for a temporary ban. Use 0 for a permanent ban

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AddToSecurityExceptionList ( const char *  ip)
pure virtual

If secure connections are on, do not use secure connections for a specific IP address. This is useful if you have a fixed-address internal server behind a LAN.

Note
Secure connections are determined by the recipient of an incoming connection. This has no effect if called on the system attempting to connect.
Parameters
[in]ipIP address to add. * wildcards are supported.

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual bool RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AdvertiseSystem ( const char *  host,
unsigned short  remotePort,
const char *  data,
int  dataLength,
unsigned  connectionSocketIndex = 0 
)
pure virtual

Sends a one byte message ID_ADVERTISE_SYSTEM to the remote unconnected system. This will tell the remote system our external IP outside the LAN along with some user data.

Precondition
The sender and recipient must already be started via a successful call to Initialize
Parameters
[in]hostEither a dotted IP address or a domain name
[in]remotePortWhich port to connect to on the remote machine.
[in]dataOptional data to append to the packet.
[in]dataLengthlength of data in bytes. Use 0 if no data.
[in]connectionSocketIndexIndex into the array of socket descriptors passed to socketDescriptors in RakPeer::Startup() to send on.
Returns
false if IsActive()==false or the host is unresolvable. True otherwise

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual Packet* RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AllocatePacket ( unsigned  dataSize)
pure virtual
Returns
a packet for you to write to if you want to create a Packet for some reason. You can add it to the receive buffer with PushBackPacket
Parameters
[in]dataSizeHow many bytes to allocate for the buffer
Returns
A packet you can write to

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AllowConnectionResponseIPMigration ( bool  allow)
pure virtual

Allow or disallow connection responses from any IP. Normally this should be false, but may be necessary when connecting to servers with multiple IP addresses.

Parameters
[in]allow- True to allow this behavior, false to not allow. Defaults to false. Value persists between connections

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::ApplyNetworkSimulator ( float  packetloss,
unsigned short  minExtraPing,
unsigned short  extraPingVariance 
)
pure virtual

Adds simulated ping and packet loss to the outgoing data flow. To simulate bi-directional ping and packet loss, you should call this on both the sender and the recipient, with half the total ping and packetloss value on each. You can exclude network simulator code with the _RELEASE #define to decrease code size

Deprecated:
Use http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=1671.0 instead.
Note
Doesn't work past version 3.6201
Parameters
[in]packetlossChance to lose a packet. Ranges from 0 to 1.
[in]minExtraPingThe minimum time to delay sends.
[in]extraPingVarianceThe additional random time to delay sends.

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::AttachPlugin ( PluginInterface2 plugin)
pure virtual

Attaches a Plugin interface to an instance of the base class (RakPeer or PacketizedTCP) to run code automatically on message receipt in the Receive call. If the plugin returns false from PluginInterface::UsesReliabilityLayer(), which is the case for all plugins except PacketLogger, you can call AttachPlugin() and DetachPlugin() for this plugin while RakPeer is active.

Parameters
[in]messageHandlerPointer to the plugin to attach.

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::CancelConnectionAttempt ( const SystemAddress  target)
pure virtual

Cancel a pending connection attempt If we are already connected, the connection stays open

Parameters
[in]targetWhich system to cancel

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual void RakNet::RakPeerInterface::CloseConnection ( const AddressOrGUID  target,
bool  sendDisconnectionNotification,
unsigned char  orderingChannel = 0,
PacketPriority  disconnectionNotificationPriority = LOW_PRIORITY 
)
pure virtual

Close the connection to another host (if we initiated the connection it will disconnect, if they did it will kick them out).

Parameters
[in]targetWhich system to close the connection to.
[in]sendDisconnectionNotificationTrue to send ID_DISCONNECTION_NOTIFICATION to the recipient. False to close it silently.
[in]channelWhich ordering channel to send the disconnection notification on, if any
[in]disconnectionNotificationPriorityPriority to send ID_DISCONNECTION_NOTIFICATION on.

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual ConnectionAttemptResult RakNet::RakPeerInterface::Connect ( const char *  host,
unsigned short  remotePort,
const char *  passwordData,
int  passwordDataLength,
PublicKey publicKey = 0,
unsigned  connectionSocketIndex = 0,
unsigned  sendConnectionAttemptCount = 12,
unsigned  timeBetweenSendConnectionAttemptsMS = 500,
RakNet::TimeMS  timeoutTime = 0 
)
pure virtual

Connect to the specified host (ip or domain name) and server port. Calling Connect and not calling SetMaximumIncomingConnections acts as a dedicated client. Calling both acts as a true peer. This is a non-blocking connection. You know the connection is successful when GetConnectionState() returns IS_CONNECTED or Receive() gets a message with the type identifier ID_CONNECTION_REQUEST_ACCEPTED. If the connection is not successful, such as a rejected connection or no response then neither of these things will happen.

Precondition
Requires that you first call Startup()
Parameters
[in]hostEither a dotted IP address or a domain name
[in]remotePortWhich port to connect to on the remote machine.
[in]passwordDataA data block that must match the data block on the server passed to SetIncomingPassword. This can be a string or can be a stream of data. Use 0 for no password.
[in]passwordDataLengthThe length in bytes of passwordData
[in]publicKeyThe public key the server is using. If 0, the server is not using security. If non-zero, the publicKeyMode member determines how to connect
[in]connectionSocketIndexIndex into the array of socket descriptors passed to socketDescriptors in RakPeer::Startup() to send on.
[in]sendConnectionAttemptCountHow many datagrams to send to the other system to try to connect.
[in]timeBetweenSendConnectionAttemptsMSTime to elapse before a datagram is sent to the other system to try to connect. After sendConnectionAttemptCount number of attempts, ID_CONNECTION_ATTEMPT_FAILED is returned. Under low bandwidth conditions with multiple simultaneous outgoing connections, this value should be raised to 1000 or higher, or else the MTU detection can overrun the available bandwidth.
[in]timeoutTimeHow long to keep the connection alive before dropping it on unable to send a reliable message. 0 to use the default from SetTimeoutTime(UNASSIGNED_SYSTEM_ADDRESS);
Returns
CONNECTION_ATTEMPT_STARTED on successful initiation. Otherwise, an appropriate enumeration indicating failure.
Note
CONNECTION_ATTEMPT_STARTED does not mean you are already connected!
It is possible to immediately get back ID_CONNECTION_ATTEMPT_FAILED if you exceed the maxConnections parameter passed to Startup(). This could happen if you call CloseConnection() with sendDisconnectionNotificaiton true, then immediately call Connect() before the connection has closed.

Implemented in RakNet::RakPeer.

virtual StartupResult RakNet::RakPeerInterface::Startup ( unsigned int  maxConnections,
SocketDescriptor socketDescriptors,
unsigned  socketDescriptorCount,
int  threadPriority = -99999 
)
pure virtual

Starts the network threads, opens the listen port.

You must call this before calling Connect().

Precondition
On the PS3, call Startup() after Client_Login()
On Android, add the necessary permission to your application's androidmanifest.xml: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> Multiple calls while already active are ignored. To call this function again with different settings, you must first call Shutdown().
Note
Call SetMaximumIncomingConnections if you want to accept incoming connections
Parameters
[in]maxConnectionsThe maximum number of connections between this instance of RakPeer and another instance of RakPeer. Required so the network can preallocate and for thread safety. A pure client would set this to 1. A pure server would set it to the number of allowed clients.- A hybrid would set it to the sum of both types of connections
[in]localPortThe port to listen for connections on. On linux the system may be set up so thast ports under 1024 are restricted for everything but the root user. Use a higher port for maximum compatibility.
[in]socketDescriptorsAn array of SocketDescriptor structures to force RakNet to listen on a particular IP address or port (or both). Each SocketDescriptor will represent one unique socket. Do not pass redundant structures. To listen on a specific port, you can pass SocketDescriptor(myPort,0); such as for a server. For a client, it is usually OK to just pass SocketDescriptor(); However, on the XBOX be sure to use IPPROTO_VDP
[in]socketDescriptorCountThe size of the socketDescriptors array. Pass 1 if you are not sure what to pass.
[in]threadPriorityPassed to the thread creation routine. Use THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL for Windows. For Linux based systems, you MUST pass something reasonable based on the thread priorities for your application.
Returns
RAKNET_STARTED on success, otherwise appropriate failure enumeration.
