Photon Unity Networking (PUN)
|
||
This package is a re-implementation of Unity's Networking, using Photon.
|
||
Also included: A setup wizard, demo scenes, documentation and Editor extensions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
PUN & PUN+
|
||
PUN is the free package of Photon Unity Networking. Export to iOS or Android from Unity 4 requires Unity Pro Licenses.
|
||
PUN+ contains special native plugins that allow export to mobiles from Unity 4.x Free. You also get a Photon Cloud subscription upgrade. See below.
|
||
Unity 5 does not restrict export to mobiles.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Android and iOS Exports
|
||
See "PUN & PUN+"
|
||
iOS: Set the stripping level to "Strip Bytecode" and use ".Net 2.0" in the player settings.
|
||
More aggressive stripping will break the runtime and you can't connect anymore with PUN Free.
|
||
|
||
|
||
UnityScript / JavaScript
|
||
PUN is written with C# in mind primarily.
|
||
To use PUN from UnityScript, you need to move some folders in your project.
|
||
Move both folders "PhotonNetwork" and "UtilityScripts" to the Assets\Plugins\ folder.
|
||
from: \Photon Unity Networking\Plugins\
|
||
and: \Photon Unity Networking\
|
||
to: \Plugins\
|
||
Now PUN compiles before UnityScript and that makes it available from regular UnityScript code.

Integration
|
||
This package adds an Editor window "PUN Wizard" for connection setup:
|
||
Menu -> Window -> Photon Unity Networking (shortcut: ALT+P)
|
||
It also adds a commonly used component "PhotonView" to this menu:
|
||
Menu -> Component -> Miscellaneous -> PhotonView (shortcut: ALT+V)
|
||
When imported into a new, empty project, the "PunStartup" script opens the "demo hub" and setup scenes to build.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Clean PUN Import (no demos)
|
||
To get a clean import of PUN and PUN+ into your project, just skip the folders "Demos" and "UtilityScripts".
|
||
UtilityScripts can be useful for rapid prototyping but are optional to use.
|
||

||
Server
|
||
Exit Games Photon can be run on your servers or you can subscribe to the Photon Cloud for managed servers.
|
||
|
||
The window "Photon Unity Networking" will help you setup a Photon Cloud account.
|
||
This service is geared towards room-based games and the server cannot be modified.
|
||
Read more about it: http://www.photonengine.com
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, download the Server SDK and run your own Photon Server.
|
||
The SDK has the binaries to run immediately but also includes the source code and projects
|
||
for the game logic. You can use that as basis to modify and extend it.
|
||
A 100 concurrent user license is free (also for commercial use) per game.
