Network Games in Torque X
by Tony Pitman · in Torque X 2D · 07/15/2009 (6:28 am) · 2 replies
I would like more information about doing a live network game using Torque X. Is there anything built in to help with this? I was looking at the net rumble sample from the Microsoft XNA team and it looks like a lot of work including sending your own network message packets.
Is there something built into either XNA or even better the Torque X player manager system that just maps a player index to a network player so I can use all the input map stuff that I am used to? Are there any Torque X samples or tutorials?

Thanks for the tips. I sure wish GG would have a simple hook into their PlayerManager. I am surprised they don't. Maybe someone else knows of one built in?????

XNA Networking on MSDN <- Best bet.
MSDN Reference for Microsoft.XNA.Framework.Net
Networking, Traffic Jams, and Schrödinger's Cat <- Awesome presentation. Pretty much a must if you're going to start working on networking with XNA.
