Advanced Sessions Plugin

[Rumbleball]

You need to specify lan match in the level loading, not just listen

thanks will try that.

The main question though would be why the online session does not work and why it shows up as LAN. It might show up as LAN as both computers are in the same network, but not sure about that.

No, I test most of my remote servers on steam across two local computers. From your post I had assumed that LAN was your goal, not the side effect?

LAN was just a side question. Having trouble with Online session that shows as LAN.

Well I have the perfect article to sort this out for you and it will explain far better (and with better formatting) than I can in here.

I really should have linked to it a long time ago as questions related to it keep popping up.

TL;DR though, turn on Presence on the session.

You are talking about dedicated servers, my setup is for general servers, its pretty much an entirely different thing, but yes, for dedicated servers you should edit that to match your steam settings.

Ok fair enough I guess!

Is there anyone who knows how to check the mic of mine?
I can check which talker is speaking except me by is remote player talking.
However is local player talking with index 0 is not working.

Please help me nice guys!

Hello. I have one question. Does the UE4 network system allow creating sessions on in dedicated server on custom remote server(not Steam,Player host, etc.). I want connect to dedicated server which run on my remote PC(server) and create various sessions.That is, I want to run dedicated server on my remote computer and open sessions on it. Can I do this in one running instance of the dedicated server or will I have to launch a new dedicated server instance for each session. I looked at a lot of information but did not find an example of this , everywhere either creating a session as a player host, or an example of on Steam subsystem. I will be grateful for any lesson or tutorial related to this. As far as I understand, the Advanced Sessin plugin cannot help with this either, it creates sessions either as steam or as host.Thanks!!!

Dedicated servers are built into the engine yes, but you have to compile off of a source copy of the engine to do them.

You also don't need any subsystem besides the default NULL to run servers but they won't be "detectable" over the internet unless you set up a master server to provide and register the servers for you.

I'll run some tests over the weekend to verify everything again, there were some changes to allow the Voip talker to work with steam but it shouldn't have effected that any.

On the previous build (which didn't have verbose set yet), I saw the following.

On boot:

[2018.11.27-07.22.04:454][  0]LogVoiceEngine: Error: STEAM: StopLocalVoiceProcessing: Ignoring stop request for non-owning user
[2018.11.27-07.22.04:454][  0]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: StopLocalVoiceProcessing(0) returned 0xFFFFFFFF
[2018.11.27-07.22.04:454][ 0]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: Stopping networked voice for user: 0

[...]

[2018.11.27-07.22.52:790][983]LogVoiceEngine: Error: STEAM: StartLocalVoiceProcessing(): Device is currently owned by another user
[2018.11.27-07.22.52:790][983]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: StartLocalProcessing(0) returned 0xFFFFFFFF

[2018.11.27-07.22.52:790][983]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: RegisterLocalTalker(0) returned 0x00000000

I don't do anything specific in my setup, do you know what I might look into here? Might it be related to the impossibility to mute remote players?

ok soooo,on open level you specify the level you want to open not your ip
on the join session don't use a for loop but get the 0 index of the array and use that

Was able to get it working today.
First issue: We were passing 1 to CreateAdvancedSession::PublicConnections which must at least be 2 for listen server. Thats the reason it did not show up in the ServerBrowser at first (UsePresence = true).
Second Issue: We used the OpenLevel Blueprint-Node and passed in '-listen' as option. The '-' was to much.
Third Issue: The config file. With the following config we got it working.

[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="DemoNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/Engine.DemoNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="/Script/Engine.DemoNetDriver")

[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Steam

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamAppID=924770
SteamDevAppId=924770
GameServerQueryPort=27015
bRelaunchInSteam=true
GameVersion=1.0.0.0
bVACEnabled=1
bAllowP2PPacketRelay=true
P2PConnectionTimeout=90

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetConnection"

You might want to add this Comment to your CreateAdvancedSession function .

    /**
     *    Creates a session with the default online subsystem with advanced optional inputs, for dedicated servers leave UsePresence as false and set IsDedicatedServer to true. Dedicated servers don't use presence.
     *    param PublicConnections            When doing a 'listen' server, this must be >=2 (ListenServer itself counts as a connection)
     *    param bUseLAN                        When you want to play LAN, the level to play on must be loaded with option 'bIsLanMatch'
     *    param bUsePresence                    Must be true for a 'listen' server (Map must be loaded with option 'listen'), false for a 'dedicated' server.
     *  param bShouldAdvertise                Set to true when the OnlineSubsystem should list your server when someone is searching for servers. Otherwise the server is hidden and only join via invite is possible.
     */

Thanks again.

Yeah good idea
