OfflineRoom

paulusul

Hi,

I am currently trying to implement singleplayer with offlinemode.

The documentation here http://doc.exitgames.com/en/pun/current ... d-un#ompun
states that a "PhotonNetwork.room will, obviously, return null."

But when I get the room in offlinemode it looks like this:
Room: 'OfflineRoom' visible: True open: True max: 0 count: 0
customProps: {} 0

Is this intentional and the documentation is wrong?

Tobias

This is obviously wrong. By now.
The room you get in PUN 1.25 is however a "fake" room. You can't use its properties and it's a "new Room" every time you access it.
In PUN 1.26 (coming soon) I changed this so you have one offline room and at least can use the custom properties of it more or less like online).

Offline mode has quite some quirks. I hope it still works out for you. Some developers are already using it successfully, which is one reason why I have a hard time changing it.

So far I'm quite happy with it!

The new way sounds a little better, the only reason I mentioned it was because it explicitly said otherwise in the documentation.

Another thing I have experienced since then is that offlinemode in relation with the PhotonTargets.AllViaServer and AllBufferedViaServer obviously aren't working.
Will they ever? or maybe it should also be mentioned in the documentation

Tobias

Hm. Good point.
I will have a look at allViaServer. I can easily execute the RPCs locally but I'm not entirely sure if I can solve this for every type of message (e.g. RaiseEvent) easily.
Buffer obviously doesn't work but also doesn't have to. No other player will join late.

Tobias

Can you try this and give me some feedback if that's what you want:

In NetworkingPeer, find method RPC(..., target, ..)
In it, find the code for AllViaServer and AllBufferedViaServer and add this to the end of the block (after opRaiseEvent()):
[code2=csharp]if (PhotonNetwork.offlineMode)
{
this.ExecuteRPC(rpcEvent, this.mLocalActor);
}[/code2]

This is how I would try to fix the RPCs in offline mode.
Does it work for you?

I'm going on vacation today, so sadly I won't have time to check it out

Will look at it as soon as I get back!
