Max size of Message

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whats the maximum size of a Message that the server is able to send the client.

Thanks,

Hi,

There is no built-in limit.

However, I'd advise against sending messages that are larger than a few hundred kilobytes often, because you'll most likely saturate the recipients connections.

Your main concern should be to keep the data you're sending to a minimum, such that even players with relatively slow connections will have a good game experience.
