Hello everyone,

I, too, was disappointed to find out BlueBox doesn't work on Unity as advertised.

Let's hope this gets sorted out soon.

Has anything new come of this? Can BlueBox work with Unity's WebPlayer?

I am also very concerned about this feature not working as advertised, and hope a resolution can be reached.

Currently, the documentation reads:

Â» Known issues / limitations
The current BlueBox shipping with SFS2X RC2 is already production ready and has been tested under different scenarios of heavy traffic with excellent results. We are not aware of any issues at the moment.

Obviously that is not true. It should be changed.

One of the senior engineers I am working with has direct contact with Unity developers. They (Unity) are willing to work with us to get BlueBox working and apparently said "they will do what it takes." Does anyone here have any advice for me before going into this meeting? Please reply soon.

As written in the other thread - I'm happy to participate in that.

So I am still experimenting with this and management is looking into this problem with the Unity creators.

So I put the policy file on socket 443 which is https. It serves the policy file fine.

In my code I do this:

Code: Select all


Security.PrefetchSocketPolicy(serverName, 443));  //Serve policy on https
smartFox.Connect(serverName, [blockedPort]);  //Use blocked port so it uses BlueBox

In the first line it gets the policy file fine and PrefetchSocketPolicy returns true. In the second line, since it tries to connect to a blocked port (and fails) it will then switch to BlueBox on port 8080. However, I get this error in Unity (see below.) Note in the error "404 Not Found". BlueBox returns a "404" error which means it does, in fact, try to connect to BlueBox, and it does connect, but BlueBox returns 404. So I am leaning towards that it is a SmartFox BlueBox problem, not a Unity problem.

This occurs in Unity WebPlayer mode. (I can get BlueBox working, sorta, in Standalone mode.)

Code: Select all

Just to sum up here.

BlueBox in standalone and iOS/Android works. BlueBox in webplayer works. BlueBox in webplayer via proxy seems to have issues (I dont run via proxy, so I've never had problems).

As described earlier, the API itself uses the standard mono/C# WebClient class to access the BlueBox server. There is no difference in the code what so ever between platforms here - not a single line of Unity specific code is in the API.

So any issue that come from executing something in a webplayer vs. standalone should only come from the Unity webplayer security sandbox.

Any issue from running straight network vs. a proxy environment CAN be API related or Unity related.

As COB sniffed out earlier with Wireshark, it seems that running WebClient via Unity doesnt seem to read the operating system proxy setting as it should. Described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fze2ytx2.aspx

jimbobway - I never heard back on my offer to help in the bugtracking process. I'll get a hold of Unity guys myself now and see if they can help us along here.

BlueBox and WebPlayer - will it ever work?
