Dedicated Server Testing

by mb · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/18/2007 (8:54 am) · 2 replies

I've been having troubles getting my friend to help test multiplayer to make sure my server/client commands are working properly. Instead I've been creating a dedicated server and connecting via LAN on the same computer. I'm assuming I'll get the same results as if I was connecting from a remote computer. Is this right? I'm hoping my client/server code is working right...it works fine testing on my machine using the dedicated server and a client. I'm just afraid when I finally get someone to test it that it'll be all wrong.

TYIA.

I use the same method (a "local" LAN connection) for testing as well. It is a valid test to see if you have done your "CommandTo" calls correct, and to see if your code respects the client/server boundary. A "true" network test is still good to debug and optimize other things like network lag issues.
