So, I'm coding a lua mod for Binding of Isaac. I made a lua client (using luasocket), and a python server.
In local, everything works fine, but when I test it using my public ip (I did the port forwarding on my router), the lua client times out at its second reception. I don't know what causes it, the log says "timeout at CID".
Edit (forgotten to add this) : What is weird is that for the python server, it's as if he already sent it, because when I add a timeout on the server, it's only the reception of the message "[RCID]\n" that times out.
Here is the network part of the lua mod:
local socket = require("socket")
local connectIP = ""
local currentPort = 21666
local loopTimeout = 10
function Network.SendData(data)
if currentBehaviour == Behaviour.CLIENT then
client:send(data.."\n")
end
end
function Network.StartClient()
if currentBehaviour == Behaviour.IDLE then
client = assert(socket.tcp())
client:connect(connectIP,currentPort)
currentBehaviour = Behaviour.CLIENT
client:settimeout(loopTimeout)
local seed,errs = client:receive()
if errs~="timeout" and errs~=nil then
Network.CloseConnection();
Isaac.DebugString("seederror:"..errs);
elseif errs=="timeout" then
Network.CloseConnection();
Isaac.DebugString("timeout at seed");
elseif errs==nil then
Isaac.DebugString("Seed: : "..seed);
Isaac.ExecuteCommand("seed "..seed)
end
local CID,err = client:receive()
if err~="timeout" and err~=nil then
Network.CloseConnection();
Isaac.DebugString("ciderror:"..err);
elseif err=="timeout" then
Network.CloseConnection();
Isaac.DebugString("timeout at CID");
elseif err==nil then
Isaac.DebugString("CID : "..CID);
ClientID = tonumber(CID)
Network.SendData("[RCID]")
end
end
end
Here is the server :
import socket
import select
from parse import *
IsaacClients = {}
seed = b"98BN MJ4D\n"
server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(('', 21666))
server.listen(10)
num_clients = 0
server_launched = True
connected_clients = []
while server_launched:
connections_asked, wlist, xlist = select.select([server],
[], [], 0.05)
for connection in connections_asked:
connection_client, info_client = connection.accept()
print(info_client)
connected_clients.append(connection_client)
print("Sending Seed")
connection_client.sendall(seed) # send the seed
print("Seed Sent")
num_clients = num_clients +1
check = ""
counter = 0
while check != "[RCID]\n" and counter<100: # try 100 times to send the ClientID
print("Sending ClientID")
try:
connection_client.settimeout(0.1)
connection_client.sendall((str(num_clients)+"\n").encode())
check = connection_client.recv(7).decode() # try to check if it has received it
connection_client.settimeout(None)
except:
pass
counter=counter+1
if counter == 100:
server_launched = False
print("ClientID Sent")
clients_to_read = []
try:
clients_to_read, wlist, xlist = select.select(connected_clients,
[], [], 0.05)
except select.error:
pass
else:
for client in clients_to_read:
msg_recved = client.recv(1024)
msg_recved = msg_recved.decode()
print("[] {}".format(msg_recved))
if msg_recved.find("[END]")!= -1 :
server_launched = False
msg_recved = msg_recved.split('\n') # split into lines
for line in msg_recved:
data = parse("[ID]{ID}[POS]{x};{y}[ROOM]{RoomIndex}[CHAR]{CharacterName}[REDM]{MaxHeart}[RED]{Hearts}[SOUL]{SoulHearts}", line)
if data != None :
IsaacClients[data['ID']] = data
luaTable = "{" # start the generation of the lua table that will be sent
for player in IsaacClients.values():
luaTable = luaTable + "[" + player['ID'] +"]={ID=" + player['ID'] + ",POS={x=" +player['x']+ ",y=" +player['y']+ "},ROOM=" +player['RoomIndex']+ ",CHAR='" +player['CharacterName']+ "',REDM=" +player['MaxHeart']+ ",RED=" +player['Hearts']+ ",SOUL=" +player['SoulHearts']+ "}"
luaTable = luaTable + "}\n"
print(luaTable)
print("Sending Table")
client.sendall(luaTable.encode())
print("Table Sent")
print("Server closing")
for client in connected_clients:
client.close()
So, finally, there was no issue, the thing was : my router didn't support hairpinning, making weird bugs when trying to use the public ip from the local network. It works fine whith PCs outside of the network.
