Implementing Websockets in UE4 ported game

[alexs...@digiplaygaming.com]

Hey there, so we have successfully ported an Unreal Engine 4 game to the web, and single player works great. There is an option in the menu to set up a a dedicated server, or to join one that is already hosted. We are wondering about how to set up HTTP networking via our game, using Emscripten. We have come across a few plugins that use libwebsockets to do it. Also came across HumbleNet, which is a cross-platform networking library that uses Websockets and WebRTC. Can anyone walk us through how to implement networking so that we can launch online matchmaking as a feature in our web game? Many thanks :)

I'm not sure what has been ported to emscripten in terms of library support, but worst case scenario you could write your networking code in javascript and make calls to that using EM_ASM.  Is HumbleNet a JavaScript library?

Hey Rick, so we've actually found that we need to make a dedicated server, and link it through the HTML5 networking plugin in UE4. HumbleNet is a cross-platform networking library that utilizes WebSockets and WebRTC to enable multiplayer gaming. It doesn't have integration with UE4, so for now we're setting up the aforementioned plugin. Will keep you posted!
