General Changes

• Changed Tick mechanics for EOSCore:: and OnlineSubsystemEOSCore::

Example Project

• The example project has been updated, available: https://eeldev.com/index.php/eoscore/

IOnlineSessions

• The IOnlineSessions Interface is partially implemented
• You can now use “CreateSession” node to create a game session
• You can now use “FindSessions” node to find game sessions
• You can now use “JoinSession” node to join game sessions

Chat

• A EOSCore:: exlusive Chat Interface is now available!
• Send / Receive chat messages between clients
• The Chat interface will automatically establish a connection between the two clients
• The Chat Interface utilize the P2P Interface, eliminating the possiblity of leaking sensitive information about the clients

OnlineSubsystemEOSCore

• The OnlineSubsystemEOSCore is now available!
• Connecting / Hosting games using the P2P Interface
• Connect to a remote host using: “open eoscore.user_product_id“
• The OnlineSubsystemEOSCore will handle the NAT Traversal / NAT Punchthrough, no need to configure firewalls or routers.

The EOSCore:: Plugin enables you to host / connect to game sessions using P2PNAT (nat traversal/nat punchthrough) without the need to configure firewalls.

REQUIREMENTS

• EOSCore:: Plugin
• Setup the EOSCore:: plugin
• Configure the OnlineSubsystemEOSCore

CREATING

You can use the default CreateSsession node in UE4 to create a default EOS Session!

You can also create sessions with custom Session Name using the “CreateEOSSession” node

It’s as simple as that!

The EOSCore:: Plugin enables you to host / connect to game sessions using P2PNAT (nat traversal/nat punchthrough) without the need to configure firewalls.

REQUIREMENTS

• EOSCore:: Plugin
• Setup the EOSCore:: plugin
• Configure the OnlineSubsystemEOSCore

CONNECTING

The address format for connecting to a EOS Session is; “eoscore.user_product_id“

An example:

open "eoscore.abc123123123123"

Or you can join via JoinSession node if you have a valid search result (from using FindSessions node)

It’s as simple as that!
