Forum ‹ Multiplayer ‹ Won't connect to dev server

[matrix5565]

I've started working on a new game, and have a new issue.
I set the server like this:
client.multiplayer.developmentServer = "localhost:8184";

But it never connects to it. I remember in my other game, if I forgot to run the development server then the game would give an appropriate error message, but in this case it seems to be running fine, at least by creating rooms. But, in a possibly unrelated problem, all the rooms show 0 onlineUsers when listed even when there are definitely users in the room. Any help would be appreciated.

A side question: is there an easy way to get the number of players in the client's room?

I don't understand: You say that it (i assume you mean the client) never connects to it (i assume you mean the dev server), but you also say that you can see it creating rooms.

Can you make a screencast of the issue?

You're right, as far as I can tell, the client never connects to the Development Server, and in fact it makes no difference whether it is open or not. Although it still appears to create rooms normally (that don't show up in the dev server).

Well, I can give you a screenshot.

Listing the rooms from another instance shows:

Code: Select all

[playerio.RoomInfo]
id:            S12fU35H7kOtqqyZjMHIrw
serverType:      main
onlineUsers:   0
initData:      Id                  Value
            -------------------------------------------

Tracing client.multiplayer.developmentServer at the same time outputs:

Code: Select all

localhost:8184

EDIT: Also, I just noticed the rooms are showing up here in the admin panel.
