Inheritance diagram for TNLTest::TestNetInterface:

Detailed Description

TestNetInterface - the NetInterface subclass used in TNLTest.

TestNetInterface subclasses TNLTest to provide server pinging and response info packets. When a client TestNetInterface starts, it begins sending ping packets to the pingAddr address specified in the constructor. When a server receives a GamePingRequest packet, it sends a GamePingResponse packet to the source address of the GamePingRequest. Upon receipt of this response packet, the client attempts to connect to the server that returned the response. When the connection or connection attempt to that server is terminated, the TestNetInterface resumes pinging for available TNLTest servers.

Public Member Functions

TestNetInterface (TestGame *theGame, bool server, const TNL::Address &bindAddress, const TNL::Address &pingAddr)

Constructor for this network interface, called from the constructor for TestGame.

void handleInfoPacket (const TNL::Address &address, TNL::U8 packetType, TNL::BitStream *stream)

handleInfoPacket overrides the method in the NetInterface class to handle processing of the GamePingRequest and GamePingResponse packet types.

void sendPing ()

sendPing sends a GamePingRequest packet to pingAddress of this TestNetInterface.

void tick ()

Tick checks to see if it is an appropriate time to send a ping packet, in addition to checking for incoming packets and processing connections.

Data Fields

bool pingingServers

True if this is a client that is pinging for active servers.

TNL::U32 lastPingTime

The last platform time that a GamePingRequest was sent from this network interface.

bool isServer

True if this network interface is a server, false if it is a client.

TNL::SafePtr< TestConnection > connectionToServer

A safe pointer to the current connection to the server, if this is a client.

TNL::Address pingAddress

Network address to ping in searching for a server. This can be a specific host address or it can be a LAN broadcast address.

TestGame * game

The game object associated with this network interface.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum TNLTest::TestNetInterface::Constants

Constants used in this NetInterface.

Enumeration values:

PingDelayTime Milliseconds to wait between sending GamePingRequest packets.

GamePingRequest Byte value of the first byte of a GamePingRequest packet.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TNLTest::TestNetInterface::TestNetInterface ( TestGame * theGame,

bool server,

const TNL::Address & bindAddress,

const TNL::Address & pingAddr

)

Constructor for this network interface, called from the constructor for TestGame.
The constructor initializes and binds the network interface, as well as sets parameters for the associated game and whether or not it is a server.
