Forum ‹ BigDB ‹ Load Player and Register Using Server Code

[prsolucoes]

Hi,

There is any possible way to register a player using quick connect on serverside?

There is any possible way to load a registered player using their username/password of quick connect on serverside?

Im asking it because my game is doing the process:

1 - Register on SimpleRegister by the Flash application
2 - Login with SimpleConnect
3 - If success on #2, send username to server (from Flash - Actionscript):

Code: Select all

MessageManager.getInstance().getConnection().send("LOGIN", GameObjects.profile.accountUsername);

3 - The server receive login message and try load or create the user is username doesn't exists:

LOAD CODE

Code: Select all

      
// This method is called when a player leaves the game
public override void UserLeft (Player player)
{
   player.Save ();
}

// This method is called when a player sends a message into the server code
public override void GotMessage (Player player, Message message)
{
   switch (message.Type.ToUpper ()) {
   case "LOGIN":
      {
         player.CreateOrLoad (message.GetString (0)); // get username here :)
         player.Send ("LOGIN_OK", player.Id);
         break;
      }

   case "PROFILE":
      {
         player.Send ("PROFILE", player.Id, player.Username, player.ExperiencePoints, player.CashPoints); // send some profile data - there is a way to pass all in one object?
         break;
      }
   }
}


PLAYER CLASS

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using PlayerIO.GameLibrary;

namespace Engine
{
   public class Player : BasePlayer
   {
      public String Username;
      public int ExperiencePoints;
      public int CashPoints;

      public Player ()
      {
         Username = null;
         ExperiencePoints = 0;
         CashPoints = 0;
      }

      public void CreateOrLoad (String Username)
      {
         Boolean exist = PlayerObject.Contains ("Username");

         if (!exist) {
            Create (Username);
         }

         Load ();
      }

      void Create (String Username)
      {
         PlayerObject.Set ("Username", Username);
         Save ();
      }

      public void Load ()
      {
         Username = PlayerObject.GetString ("Username");
         ExperiencePoints = PlayerObject.Contains ("ExperiencePoints") ? PlayerObject.GetInt ("ExperiencePoints") : 0;
         CashPoints = PlayerObject.Contains ("CashPoints") ? PlayerObject.GetInt ("CashPoints") : 0;
      }
      
      public void Save ()
      {
         PlayerObject.Set ("Username", Username);
         PlayerObject.Set ("ExperiencePoints", ExperiencePoints);
         PlayerObject.Set ("CashPoints", CashPoints);

         PlayerObject.Save ();
      }
   }
}

This is the best method? What the best method to do this process?

There is no way to use QuickConnect on the server, however it should not be needed, basically you should never need to send the username, nor the password to your servers as the user has already authenticated towards player.io and thus the server.

But i need get on server the player username To send To others. How i will do it if i dont have acess To player register data?

When you connect to the multiplayer server, send it through Join data, or a Message. You have the username on the client already, right?

For SimpleConnect the username of the player is is part of the connectUserId

[prsolucoes]

But This method is not decent

I will use it so

[Benjaminsen]

I suggest you totally disconnect usernames from your authentication. Let users login with email / password then have a custom username migration system.
