I’m hardly trying to debug this… but it actually turns out beeing ridiculous…
So first let me describe what I’m actually doing.
I tryed to implement this tutorial: http://www.osnapgames.com/2014/05/24/connecting-to-a-third-party-socket-server-in-unreal-engine-4/
Not really with any kind of sucess… As they even lack alot of informations about what to include and add and so on.
I foudn by googling this project (GitHub - moritz-wundke/UnrealRemote: JSONRPC Socket server to enable remote access to both the editor and a packaged game.) which I tryed to extract some informations from about how to implement the idea of the previous tutorial.
Some implementatiosn seem to jsut have changed their interface (seriously, ue is changing whole interfaces even within minor versions? Or am I getting soemthing wrong here?).
And all of them failed to be included. After reading the 10 similiar post with kinda the some problem but none satisfying answers on any of them, I just tryed the absolute paths for those includes. And tryed to harden the code step by step to see what line produces which errors. But allready after 3 lines I came to a point that is just inacceptable…
my code actually looks like this:
.h file
#pragma once
#include <Runtime/Sockets/Public/Sockets.h>
#include <Runtime/Networking/Public/Networking.h>
#include <Runtime/Sockets/Public/SocketSubsystem.h>
class GONLINE_API ChatSocketHandler
{
public:
ChatSocketHandler();
~ChatSocketHandler();
void initConnection();
private:
FSocket* Socket;
};
and the .cpp
#include "GOnline.h"
#include "ChatSocketHandler.h"
ChatSocketHandler::ChatSocketHandler()
{
}
ChatSocketHandler::~ChatSocketHandler()
{
}
void ChatSocketHandler::initConnection()
{
Socket = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateSocket(NAME_Stream, TEXT("default"), false);
FString address = TEXT("78.46.122.35");
int32 port = 10615;
/*
FIPv4Address ip;
FIPv4Address::Parse(address, ip);
*/
TSharedRef< FInternetAddr > addr = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateInternetAddr();
/*
addr->SetIp(ip.GetValue());
addr->SetPort(port);
*/
}
Herea lot strange stuff is going on.
As soon I add the line declaring addr I’m refering to Networking.h which try to resolve other includes which aren’t a absolute link and therefor aren’t found. I could fix this by just manually replacing each include of the ue4 recursively by the include and its path prefix. but thats surely not intended. so how to configure it that I don’t require absolute paths(by absolute I mean the path prefixed offset.)
also strange was, when I worked around this, addr of type FInternetAddr * didn’t have the set of methods implemented as the documents say. my addr did just know the Get method. how can that be? (probably because of wrong use of TSharedRef… But no idea.
and even the FIPv4Address when it was implemented internally complained about not knowing the declaration of IPv4SubnetMask and this is comming along with a lot of other unkown implementation errors, which probably all origin in the include problem rpevious explained. So help me plz… how to fix this?
