Zero-K Networking

So, I'm getting a few certifications this year and would be curious if anyone here would explain the inner workings of ZK's networking system (for getting data back and forth, as well as IP connections and servers. I would like to become a little more involved in helping the ZK server stability and things like that.

Thanks!

For ZK itself you want to look in the engine's code:
https://github.com/spring/spring/tree/develop/rts/Net
https://github.com/spring/spring/tree/develop/rts/System/Net

For the lobby/infra there's lots of stuff all over:
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure

Trains are esentially networking though. As in there are part of a transport network.

And I'm still hungry for a engine feature that lets me properly make trains and tracks.

Also thanks DeinFreund and hokomoko

I think we're getting away from the original point of this thread, though.

I think we need one serious post about Parzival already completed jobs. :D :D

Then why you need learn about networking? Why not start learn how engine works and try add that features?

No. People were saying that ZKL is shit way before ZK was put into Steam Greenlight.

Nah, it is more about not taking Parzival seriously.

Here is the deal knorke you claim to speak for the good of the spring community yet most people who I encountered in the overall community either are indiffrent to you and your cause or they simply hate you. Oh some also like to remember your previous non-toxic form back from the day. You surely must have reconed that you are simply not welcome anymore considering that you have to hide behind other usernames to play the game at all.
