Whats the difference between a signla module and a networking library? And why should we use this over others?
I did and pretty much didnât find the answer to the 1st question and a rough answer to the 2nd.
No offense, but if you donât know the difference between a signal module and a networking library then this module isnât for you yet. Come back after you have used RemoteEvents.
No iâve used remote events and all that stuff in my OOP, I donât even know whatâs either which is why im asking.

A signal module can be used in place of bindable events, networking modules are wrappers for remote events/functions.

How does this actually reduce network usage?
Iâd love to hear a detailed explanation on it since I was looking for ways to optimize networking myself.
I find the library very interesting, though Iâm more of a âIâll do it myselfâ kinda guy so instead of using it I want to learn from it.
But itâs large codebase and some parts of it are⌠a bit unclear to me so I struggle understanding some code and why itâs there.
Iâd like to learn how this system works so I can implement things myself or design it in ways that fit my personal needs.

bro just look at the post
It seems like âBest Practicesâ page (https://ffrostflame.github.io/BridgeNet2/docs/Tutorials/Best%20Practices) is broken.

The best library iâve ever used. It solved many problems in my game. Thank you so much
Hey so this module doesnât wrap remote functions right? The creator should consider doing thatâŚ
It is. Here is example.
-- Server
local BridgeNet2 = require(<bridgenet path here>)
local Bridge = BridgeNet2.ServerBridge("Bridge")
Bridge.OnServerInvoke = function(player: Player, content: any)
return true
end
-- Client
local BridgeNet2 = require(<bridgenet path here>)
local Bridge = BridgeNet2.ClientBridge("Bridge")
Bridge:InvokeServerAsync(true) -- single argument
Bridge:InvokeServerAsync({true, false}) -- multi argument

so what this module does a overall summary is that it optimizes remote events by converting all arguments to strings because they cost less ? it also instantly disconnects connected RBXScriptSignals after using making it quite hard for Hackers to crash servers?
it has a rate limiter and also a data packets limiter ?
down side is that it can severely cause delays between client and server if there is Lots of firing of the same event ?
correct me if i am wrong please i am just trying to wrap my head around what this does
Thanks the docs didnât mention anything about this!
YAY FINALLY RELEASED, Important question does bridgenet 2 have any remotefunction functionality to it?
Nvm scrolled up and found the answer
What about adding support for Axenâs compression module? I tested BridgeNet2 and the compression module together and it seems like receive have reduced for 2 times: 5.93 â 2.88 KB/s.
For example you can add method :ReferenceCompressionBridge() which will make bridge that is specially used for compression requests. Yes, some time will be spent for compression before actual request sending, but why not if it reduces receive so hard.

bn2 batches remote calls together if they were sent in a frame, and wym disconnect connected rxsignals
and i dont think theres a noticeable delay
You may have not considered it yet because up till this point itâs only been teased, which is expected, itâs very very new and I would imagine it will take some time to develop a consensus on it.
That said, as of just a moment ago Unreliable Events were released. The first thing that came to mind is BridgeNet as I actively utilize this in my current projects. Do you plan on integrating Unreliable Events into your system in a future update? I believe it could be very advantageous for certain use cases and would love to see it.
