I was going to start this with a long preamble about networking systems as a whole, but it’s a lot easier to just say: most of them dont do nearly enough to be worth using IMO.
Let me know if you find any bugs!
I am also very willing to add features if desired. As of writing (initial release), I have chosen to only write the bare essentials so the module isn’t filled with unwanted features.
What does this module do:
- Sends all remotes fired during the same tick (adjustable) as one packet
- Compresses and decompresses said packet automatically
Why:
- Never worry about remote throttling
- Send large amounts of data with less data (Compression!)
- Send stupid amounts of remotes per second
Benchmarks
All benchmarks were run inside of studio with an uncapped FPS using EternityDev’s benchmark

Getting Started
This module is extremely simple and works very similarly to default RemoteEvents, so getting started is a breeze.
Client:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SNS = require(ReplicatedStorage.SmilesNetworkingSystem):Client()
-- Be sure to initialize the module with either :Client() or :Server()
-- Only adjustable on client, server uses Heartbeat (Unsure if it throttles sending out data LMK)
-- Default is 1 / 60
-- You may get better compression with a lower tickrate (20, 30)
SNS:SetTickrate(1 / 60)
local ExampleClientEvent = SNS.NewEvent("ExampleClientEvent")
ExampleClientEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(...)
print(...)
end)
task.wait(1)
SNS:FireServer("ExampleServerEvent", "are we gaming?") --eventName, arguments
Server:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SNS = require(ReplicatedStorage.SmilesNetworkingSystem):Server()
local ExampleServerEvent = SNS.NewEvent("ExampleServerEvent")
ExampleServerEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, ...)
print(...)
SNS:FireClient(player, "ExampleClientEvent", "yeah, we gaming!")
task.wait(1)
SNS:FireAllClients("ExampleClientEvent", "YIIPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!")
end)
