Whats the error and do you have the file in the correct place? How are you trying to run the client? Unity web? Standalone? /T I run the program using the Visual Studio 2010. File sfs-config.xml located in the bin folder. This might be an o' so silly question, but shouldn't the file be either in bi...

Try monitoring the GC as well.

Since you're running cpanel on that vps, you likely have iptables on it discarding everything other than standard http and ssh. Double check that you have the required rules to pass through the 8080 and 9933 ports.

Not directly related to Facebook per se, but I've ended up creating rest api proxies for various services my SFS server calls. It keeps the SFS server itself lighter and leaner and reduces the impedance mismatch when working with other services. Perhaps you can do the same with Facebook. Mind you, t...

I'd hazard a guess that its a patch mis-match issue. Are you sure you're compiling against the same version as the server for both machines?

There's nothing specific to databases. Like all other processing, if it's starting to take too much time in the socket request handling thread, then use the scheduler to move it off. See Delayed and Scheduled Tasks Inside the Runnable object, just call your db routines like you normally would. You m...

I haven't updated to RC2 yet, but you might want to check the log4j.properties to make sure that consoleAppender is still part of the output lines. from my version log4j.category.com.smartfoxserver=INFO,consoleAppender,fileAppender log4j.category.sfs.test=INFO,consoleAppender,fileAppender log4j.cate...

I'm trying to get super simple such as connecting,login, get in a room, send transforms, animations and using the spawnpoints within unity itself. Look under the folder sfs2x\Client\Unity\Examples There's the Connector, Lobby, and TrisGame examples which details the basics. With the TrisGame exampl...

The general rule of thumb for estimation is 7-10kBps outbound per user for bandwidth. It has been more of a historical target-point than anything else concrete. The lower end is based on the speed of dial up, but has been ever steadily creeping upward thanks to broadband. You can surely use more, an...

If you're already familiar with ImageMagick, then just look under the API section of it for some language bridges.

JMagick provides an object-oriented Java interface to ImageMagick. Im4java is a pure-java interface to the ImageMagick command-line.

Communicating across servers shouldn't require anyone to resort to using Terracotta. To address the specific problem of allowing globally accessible chat, consider using a basic relay system. Personally, we use RabbitMQ as an interchange between servers to avoid DB polling. We can attach loggers to ...

It's not so much that SFS2X has direct support for it, but that Terracotta pretty much works with any jvm app. You should be able to use it on SFS2X now although I haven't tried. I personally warn against using it just because I have a sneaking suspicion you'll run into problems with how well it and...

Close to the number of cores really. Of course, this assumes your handlers don't do anything too rambunctious and shove any heavy lifting to the built in task schedulers. Otherwise, you'll need to just slowly increase it until your input queue clears. Those are large outbound spikes. Are all your te...

I think you keep coming to this with some preconceptions on threading. The handleClientRequest you have is just fine. Let's follow a request as it comes over the network. 1. The client initiates an extension request 2. The request is packaged and sent over the network 3. At the server, the packet is...

For SFS2X you need to explicitly add the external interface. Currently, you only have the loopback (under socketAddresses).
