How does the client know if the dedicated server is down

The way I implemented it on one project was:

• Make the server access a special .php script every 10 seconds.
• The script then writes the date and time of the last time the server did that into the database.
• The client accesses another .php script that checks if “current time” - “last time” is over 10 seconds, returns “server is down” or “server is up” depending on the result.

This is great, you’re doing almost everything right and everything works as intended. The only problem is that you’re not supposed to manually 7zip your game. Your Settings.ini in the Uploader must point to an actual game directory, in which you have your game executable.

Get the skeletal mesh path,How to load a skeletal mesh from asset path
Or load by skeletal mesh name

USkeletalMesh* UMMOUtility::LoadMeshFromPath(const FName& Path)
{
if(Path == NAME_None) return NULL;
//~

return LoadObjFromPath<USkeletalMesh*>(Path);

}

UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = “MMO Utility”)
static USkeletalMesh* LoadMeshFromPath(const FName& Path);

Report errors ，why?

Two hours later, chat is invalid, May be because

void ASocketConnect::ConnectToSocket(const FString& Address, int32 port)
{
Socket = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateSocket(NAME_Stream, TEXT(“default”), false);

FString address = Address;

FIPv4Address ip;
FIPv4Address::Parse(address, ip);

TSharedRef<FInternetAddr> addr = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateInternetAddr();
addr->SetIp(ip.Value);
addr->SetPort(port);

TGraphTask<FConnectTask>::CreateTask().ConstructAndDispatchWhenReady(this, Socket, addr);

//Start a timer to check when the thread is done

GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(CheckTimer, this, &ASocketConnect::CheckThreadsDone, 1, true);
}

I think it’s much likelier that the bug is on the chatserver side. Any errors in its log? Because I get occasional errors on mmokit’s demo chat server. I’ll investigate soon.

chatserver, no chat displayed, no any errors in its log

That code was battle tested by thousands of hours on a real project, so no. But the chat server is slightly different from the one we used there. What version of the kit are you on?

No clue, I never used Epic’s ability system.

Uploaded the 4.22 version of the kit.

All files have been renamed and moved around to follow Allar’s styleguide. The structure now makes much more sense. I’m going to update the documentation to reflect the changes some time today.

Also some warnings have been added in case you hit “play” in editor without checking the “dedicated server” button or if you don’t set up your database urls.

Have you modified the sources of the chat server at all?

Could you try this: open the solution in visual studio, build a “Debug” version and run it. See if the problem is reproducible on a debug build.

I had some minor warnings pop up on the demo server occasionally, but right now I decided to investigate them and I’m running the debug build. And for some reason, nothing happens.
