Android multiplayer wlan: Android as host device problem

[ANURAGX]

Any updates

I’ve put a fair amount of time into this but I’m not successful yet

what I’ve got done so far

1. my http master server now collects ips of players wishing to join sessions being hosted on phones, it then sends that ip list to the phone
2. the phone then starts sending tcp and udp messages to the other phones IP

however I’m seeing its more complicated than that as that alone isnt working. I read somewhere that in the old days of star craft, players would punch open the ports by connecting from computer A to B then B to A and it would work - with Unreal Engine that alone dosn’t work

So what I got was wireshark, I need to see what exactly happens a successful connection happens.

A problem I have yet still, is when I create tcp and udp sockets, if I’m trying to punch 7777, what do I have to do exactly to open the port… and can I create that socket if its already being used by the engine.

This really isnt my strong suit, I’d love for someone to help the community out and share a working NAT punch example, if I eventually figure this out I will update my current github demo to a more generic and easily learnable solution - GitHub - bitporters/RC_TRAINER: Unreal Sample Mashup with C++ Layer Multiplayer Elements (chat & game browser using external web app) (http based game browser, +nat punch when I figure it out)

I am working on the same and if I figure out anything will post here.

Even I am in need of such functionality and I really hate UE4 community or especially EPIC GAMES, they only help other developers who are quite popular on the forum or whose problem is the exact problem which epic games are facing.
Epic games won’t show any helpful attitude to those threads which are not related to them. For instance consider this thread which happens to be around 1.5 years old and none of the epic staff have shared any info on this topic.
