Sorry for the late reply,
This is default Roblox sending 200 10kb payloads per frame as a baseline
ByteNet, I was just getting constant errors and it wouldn’t work so I can’t give u a screenshot.
This is With NetRay with throttle and rate limiting off
Both were firing a 10-KB payload every frame.
Roblox: 129187.12 KB/s
NetRay: 35.85 KB/s
That’s a 99.9722% decrease
Ping
Roblox : 70.87 ms
NetRay: 48.01ms
32.2562% decrease
My Ping doing nothing is around 36-46ms baseline
what code did you test this with
NetRayContinuousFireConnection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if IsNetRayContinuousFireActive then
for i = 1 , 200 do
NetRay:FireServer('NetRayContinuousFire', {
id = 'NetRay_CF_' .. os.time() .. '_' .. math.random(1, 1000),
payload = PAYLOAD
})
end
end
end)
RemoteEventContinuousFireConnection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if IsRemoteEventContinuousFireActive then
for i = 1 , 200 do
RemoteEvent:FireServer({
id = 'RE_CF_' .. os.time() .. '_' .. math.random(1, 1000),
type = 'Continuous Fire Event',
payload = PAYLOAD
})
end
end
end)
I tested them separately in the same game and place during same testing session
After testing with buffers, the benefits are not worth using them
I attempted to use buffers myself and another module (suphies packet module), and they both had the same issue. HUGE CPU usage and HUGE FPS and Ping increases wich doesn’t justify the reduction in memory used when sending over events.
Some screenshots from testing
This was with suphis new packet module, The ping also reduced my frames to about 9fps
I am improving the binary encoder to encode everything before being sent over the event, which hopefully will reduce memory usage even more.
I am still going to keep at buffers until I can get them to be beneficial for me
btw ByteNet or Packet or even BridgeNet2 is way better than this module
Hello,
I’ve already tried them, this module performed better and has more features and allot more user friendly with it’s simple and basic API/functions.
Really? when i tested mine somehow NetRay performed the worst.
i did a for loop 1k times and send the number 100 using NetRay.
Now this is compared to ByteNet
Almost 90% better than NetRay
Also Packet has simple API/functions and performances same as ByteNet
I already tested packet and send a screen above, also sending the number 100 has no compressional advantage since you can’t compress that short of a number down losslessly.
When I tried bytenet sending a 10kb payload 200 times a frame is just kept failing by erroring.
I’ll be able to show you once I’m awake since it’s 2am for me right now
I didnt lag using Packet even tho i spammed this in a while true loop
Dude most of the time its the SERVER sending info not client
Your screenshot pointed out to me that I made an error and left something out on v2.0.2 I appreciate it.
an update will come out soon
EDIT:
Buffered for netray vs packet module
When I try to edit the settings of an event it limits the properties I can send.
In this Case the “Attack” variable won’t print what I want in this segment of my script
--NetRay
NetRay:RegisterEvent("PlyrAttackEvent", {
rateLimit = math.huge,
throttleWait = 0.1,
priority = 1,
typeDefinitions = {},
batchable = true
})
NetRay:RegisterRequestHandler("PlyrAttackEvent", function(Player, player, Attack)
for ID in Debounces:GetAttributes() do if tonumber(ID) == Player.UserId then return end end -- Check for Debounce
Debounces:SetAttribute(tostring(Player.UserId), " ") -- Add to Debounce
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
--A blackboard is player info Sent to the server in a table.
local Player = {
["Player"] = Player,
Blackboard = {}
}
for X,Y in pairs(Humanoid:GetAttributes()) do --Getting attributes from "Playerinit" in the player folder - ServerScriptService.
Player.Blackboard[X] = Y
end
print(Attack)
--Humanoid:SetAttribute("LastInput", Attack)
BasicAttackTree:run(Player)
end)
But in this code it does.
--NetRay
NetRay:RegisterEvent("PlyrAttackEvent")
NetRay:RegisterRequestHandler("PlyrAttackEvent", function(Player, player, Attack)
for ID in Debounces:GetAttributes() do if tonumber(ID) == Player.UserId then return end end -- Check for Debounce
Debounces:SetAttribute(tostring(Player.UserId), " ") -- Add to Debounce
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
--A blackboard is player info Sent to the server in a table.
local Player = {
["Player"] = Player,
Blackboard = {}
}
for X,Y in pairs(Humanoid:GetAttributes()) do --Getting attributes from "Playerinit" in the player folder - ServerScriptService.
Player.Blackboard[X] = Y
end
print(Attack)
--Humanoid:SetAttribute("LastInput", Attack)
BasicAttackTree:run(Player)
end)
That’s interesting, I’ll get back to you soon once I’m able to get on my computer as at the moment I’m not available to check.
But this behaviour shouldn’t be the case
Double check any typos or spelling mistakes etc for now
Edit:
Could you prove the client script aswell
Here is the full length code for both the server and client scripts. And if you were wondering, everything works completely fine without setting parameters to the “:RegisterEvent” function and my value gets passed correctly.
This is my Client Code:
--Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local InputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local ServerStorage = game:GetService('ServerStorage')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
--Modules
local NetRay = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules.NetRay)
--Player
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
--Variables
local Debounce = false
local Inputs = {
MouseButton1 = "BasicAttack",
R = "SpecialAttack",
F = "Block",
E = "Grab"
}
InputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(UserInput)
if Debounce == true then return end
for Key, Attack in pairs(Inputs) do
if Key == "MouseButton1" then
if UserInput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType[Key] then
NetRay:FireServer("PlyrAttackEvent", Player, Attack, "blank")
end
else
if UserInput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and UserInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[Key] then
NetRay:FireServer("PlyrAttackEvent", Player, Attack)
end
end
end
Debounce = true
task.wait(0.1)
Debounce = false
end)
This is my Server Code:
The “‘Blank’” string I passed in was when I was just messing around after I saw that my Attack value got set to ‘nil’ when I put in parameters for the Event. The “‘Blank’” string also came back nil when sent to the server.
--Services
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService('ServerScriptService')
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local ServerStorage = game:GetService('ServerStorage')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
--Modules
local BTreeCreator = require(ServerScriptService.Modules.BTreeCreator)
local NetRay = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules.NetRay)
--Trees
local Trees = ServerStorage.BehaviorTrees
local BasicAttackTree = BTreeCreator:_createTree(Trees.BasicAttack)
--Debounces
local Debounces = ServerStorage.Combat.Debounces
--NetRay
NetRay:RegisterEvent("PlyrAttackEvent")
NetRay:RegisterRequestHandler("PlyrAttackEvent", function(Player, player, Attack)
for ID in Debounces:GetAttributes() do if tonumber(ID) == Player.UserId then return end end -- Check for Debounce
Debounces:SetAttribute(tostring(Player.UserId), " ") -- Add to Debounce
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
--A blackboard is player info Sent to the server in a table.
local Player = {
["Player"] = Player,
Blackboard = {}
}
for X,Y in pairs(Humanoid:GetAttributes()) do --Getting attributes from "Playerinit" in the player folder - ServerScriptService.
Player.Blackboard[X] = Y
end
Humanoid:SetAttribute("LastInput", Attack)
BasicAttackTree:run(Player)
end)
I tried out your code, and it seems to work for me
Also there is no need to send the player when using :FireServer() as the servers first varial is the player who fired the server anyways
Hmm it’s weird, It works now that I didn’t include the player instance in the :FireServer() function. I don’t know why it wasn’t working earlier.
I am currently working on a full rework of the module and will post a whole new community resource once I am done.
will include the same features and more advanced features never seen in a networking module before
Once that is released, I will deprecate this module. It should still work, but I will focus on the rework.
Current benchmarks of the rework compared to a Roblox event and Packet module by suphi, which is comparable to Bytenet and other modules
NetRay - High-Performance Roblox Networking Library
This module will not receive updates anymore as I will focus on the main module now
