feat(Transport): Reimplement Transport Exception Actions (#3461)
* feat(Transport): Reimplement Transport Exception Actions

* Fixed Script Templates

* fix: Updated Network Transform Template

* fix(NetworkIdentity): Separate ResetState (#3742)

* fix(NetworkTransform): Separate ResetState
We should not have hijacked Unity's callback for runtime resets.

* Rename test too

* fix(InterestManagement): Separate ResetState (#3743)

* fix(InterestManagement): Separate ResetState
We should not have hijacked Unity's callback for runtime resets.

* Updated Template

* feat(NetworkTransform): Default Sync Direction = Client To Server (#3741)

* feat(NetworkTransform): Default Sync Direction = Client To Server
- This is done in Reset so Network Behaviour isn't effected.
- This will not change NT components already in place on objects / prefabs unless user manually chooses Reset in the inspector.

* Update Assets/Mirror/Components/NetworkTransform/NetworkTransformBase.cs

* Prediction: detect renderers in children

* Add missing replace handler override to NetworkServer (#3744)

* perf(BenchmarkIdle Example): Lowered spawn amount to 10k (#3745)

50k causes a long delay, and looks like Unity has initially frozen, even on beefy machines.
To prevent users from thinking this, and perhaps force closing, amount is lowered to something still crazy, but more reasonable. :)
- Nothing else has been touched

* fix(Room Example): Updated Reward Script
- Added Headers
- made `available` private with ReadOnly

* feat(NetworkClient): Add ReplaceHandler with channel param (#3747)

* breaking(NetworkClient): Remove NetworkConnection parameter from ReplaceHandler
There is only one connection on client.
Aligns with RegisterHandler that takes no NetworkConnection parameter.

* Fixed Tooltip

* Removed SyncVar on forceShown

* Fixed issues per review

* Fixed comments and naming

* Remove ReadOnly

Also major credits to our Ninja.

* Tooltip updated

* fix: NT-Unreliable Quaternion Compression Fix

Credits to ninja of course :D

* NT-U new improvements

Credits to Ninja

* Nothing to see here..

* Added comment to Quat Rotation Fix

* Sensitivity check to improve value comparisons.

Without this, X 0 and X -4.955753E-07 (0) would trigger as a change of value.
Helps epsilon/floating point inaccuracies.

* Moved around checks.

rotationChanged not needed now for non-compressed bool, as we check individual rotation sensitivity changes.
We can move this inside quat compress check.

* Use Rot/All, not just RotX as a compress changed flag.

* Set Just Rot.

* Updated Reset to ResetState

* Fixing PR 3571/3572/3572 in this new bitflag branch

Mirror Networking

The #1 free open source game networking library for Unity 2019 / 2020 / 2021 / 2022 LTS.

Used in production by major hits like Population: ONE and many more.

Originally based on UNET: battle tested since 2014 for 9 years and counting!

Mirror is stable, modular & easy to use for all types of games, even small MMORPGs 🎮.

Made in 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇬🇧🇸🇬🇹🇼 with ❤️.


Features

Mirror comes with a wide variety of features to support all game genres.
Many of our features quickly became the norm across all Unity netcodes!

Feature Description Status
🎛 Transports UDP, TCP, Websockets, Steam, Relay and more. Stable
🪜 Interest Management Spatial Hashing & Distance Checker to partition the world. Stable
↗️ SyncDirection Server & Client Authority - per component with one click. Stable
🐌 Latency Simulation Simulate latency, packet loss & jitter locally. Stable
🧲 Batching Minimize message overhead via batching automatically. Stable
💌 RPCs & SyncVars Synced vars and remote function calls built in & safe. Stable
🙅‍♀️Allocation Free Free of runtime allocations and no GC (except Transports). Stable
🛞 Transform & Physics Transform & Physics sync built in. Stable
👩‍🍼 Child Components Put networked components on anything. Stable
🪚 IL Post Processing Zero overhead [Rpcs] and [Commands] via IL post processing! Stable
☁️ Two Click Hosting (Optional) Build & Push directly from Unity Editor to the Cloud. Preview
📏 Snapshot Interp. Perfectly smooth movement for all platforms and all games. Stable
🏎 Fast Prediction Simulate Physics locally & apply server corrections [VR ready] Beta
🔫 Lag Compensation Roll back state to see what the player saw during input. Beta
🧙‍♂️ General Purpose Mirror supports all genres for all your games!
🧘‍♀️ Stable API Long term (10 years) stability instead of new versions!
🔬 Battle Tested Mirror servers over 100 million players. It just works!
💴 Free & Open Source MIT licensed without any restrictions to minimize risk!
❤️ Community Join our Discord with nearly 15.000 developers world wide!
🧜🏻‍♀️ Long Term Support Maintained since 2014 with optional LTS version!
🔒 Encryption Secure communication with end-to-end encryption. Preview
📐 Bitpacking Optimized compression (bools as 1 bit etc.) Researching

Architecture

The Server & Client are ONE project in order to achieve maximum productivity.

Simply use NetworkBehaviour instead of MonoBehaviour.

Making multiplayer games this way is fun & easy:

public class Player : NetworkBehaviour
{
    // Synced automatically
    [SyncVar] public int health = 100;
    
    // Lists, Dictionaries, Sets too
    SyncList<Item> inventory = new SyncList<Item>();
    
    // Server/Client-only code
    [Server] void LevelUp() {}
    [Client] void Animate() {}
    
    void Update()
    {
        // isServer/isClient for runtime checks
        if (isServer) Heal();
        if (isClient) Move();
    }
    
    // Zero overhead remote calls
    [Command]   void CmdUseItem(int slot) {} // Client to Server
    [ClientRpc] void RpcRespawn() {}         // Server to all Clients
    [TargetRpc] void Hello() {}              // Server to one Client
}

There's also NetworkServer & NetworkClient.
And that's about it 🤩


Free, Open Source & Community Focused

Mirror is free & open source (MIT Licensed).

🍺 "Free" as in free beer, and freedom to use it any way you like.
