Thanks for the comment appels!
I'm still learning as I go along, but if there are some concepts that you think would help others, please let me know (I'm starting to run out of ideas hehe)

open the file: {SFS2X Install Folder}/SFS2X/config/server.xml for the admin, in the section <allowedRemoteAddresses> you need to add one for each IP that is allowed to admin. also, in the section for <socketAddresses> you need to set (or add) the address for your server (192.168.1.40) or you will no...

No the Unity WebPlayer does not allow access to the local disk, if you NEED a config file for a web build (not really sure why), you would need to store that file on the internet, and use Unity methods to grab and parse it manually.

@ThomasLund:
Yup that did the trick, needed to add <udpIp> and <udpPort> into the .xml and use this line for loading:

Thanks for the info, now time to structure it into my tutorial videos

Thanks for the heads up, updated the first link, should work now.

Uploaded the next video, and modified the original post.
If you have suggestions or requests for future videos please reply here, or on the unity forums.
(i wont be bumping this thread anymore, unless requested hehe)

In Unity (C#), using the SFS2X (RC3) client API. (Unity/C#) API Reference: http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/csharp-doc/html/d17900a7-0de8-2115-8e3c-516c346c17ab.htm I have also tried with RC1 with no luck. I can Connect() manually so I know its not an issue of the API not being imported cor...

maybe i am missing something, but im trying to load a config file in unity, and nothing i seem to try works. i have even tried LoadConfig("C:/sfs-config.xml"); but the only event that ever gets fired is CONFIG_LOAD_FAILURE, and setting the LoadConfig bool to true will not attempt a connect...

Just curious, are you using RC3 for the server, and using the updated client API?

I ran the lobby example (swapping out the client api with rc3) locally, remotely on my laptop, and remotely on dedicated server, and clients stayed logged in for 5min (before getting timedout)

by default, the session timeout is set for 20 seconds, so if the client doesnt login to a zone or send some traffic, they will timeout. also the error message will be "unknown" if the client is not logged in. if the client is logged into a zone when they timeout, there will be two connecti...

Here is my video series of SmartFox tutorials, geared toward Unity (and NetBeans). The list below will be updated as I add more videos, and you can subscribe to my YouTube channel to get updates. If there is a video you would like to see in the future, please post on my YouTube channel, Unity forum ...

What download link did you use? I just installed on Debian (what Ubuntu is based on) about 2 days ago, and don't remember having those issues.

And by "config.xml" I assume you mean "config/server.xml" ??

Thanks for the reply Lapo! My choice has been SmartFox or ElectroServer, but with the architecture of the API and server, and organization of the Admin Tool... I will be sticking with SFS2X :) Edit: I'm also using it with Unity (3.4), so if any other beginners want some tutorials, I wouldn't mind ma...

Im curious what the development status of SFS2X is, the RC3 was released 6 months ago. There was a forum post saying the first official release of 2X would be in a couple weeks, but again that was over 4 months ago as well. SFS2X looks nice, but I can tell it still needs work, and the update of news...
