lobby's Issues

SW [ERROR] SWAESTcpSocket: Invalid roomId

all of a sudden, this error appears 2 days ago.

hopefully some efforts are on the way to resolve this.

How to get Room by name?

I am able to get rooms with GetRooms, but it returns based on page index and total item per page.
Here i would like to get room by its name.

Meaning, instead of listing all rooms, i would let user to enter the exact name to be able to enter the room.

The FilterRoom seems to serve the purpose (from its naming convention), but i am getting the error

By the way, i didnt see any example with FilterRoom. correct me if i am wrong.

Any plan to support web-based?

Hi, first, thanks for being the first to create this, with unlimited CCU.

Do you have any plan to support web-based?

Under what condition will FilterRoom return null?

As attached, i managed to Filter Room.
But somehow, sometimes, the 'reply' from room is null. I have no idea why is that...

400 Bad Request

Not sure what happened....

FilterRoom return 0 room in mobile app

I have a code that works in desktop and unity, which filters the room based on a number
But when i install the APK and test in android, the filter room returns 0 room...

Did I miss anything?

SWNetworkMessage PushUTF8LongString string limit to only 1500+?

Accordingly, it claimed that the max string length can go up to 65,535.
However, when tested, if the string exceeds around 1500, it won't trigger the OnValueChangedEvent anymore...

Join Room throw NullReferenceException

As titled

Here's my code

I expect all errors are within callback, instead of thrown outside..

Sometimes, Register fails with message Object reference not set to an instance of an object

As titled, sometimes the Register function just fails with the message, which, is outside the callback.
Here's my code

 public void RegisterPlayer()
    {
        Debug.Log("Registering...");
        NetworkClient.Lobby.Register(CurrentPlayerName, (successful, reply, error) => {
            if (successful)
            {
                Debug.Log($"Lobby registered roomId: {reply.roomId}, started: {reply.started}");
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Lobby failed to register " + reply);
            }
        });
    }

I expect it at least appears after "Lobby failed to register".. but it seems to totally throw the exception.
