struct INetContext {
};

INetwork.h

An INetContext manages the list of objects synchronized over the network ONLY to be implemented in CryNetwork.

virtual ~INetContext();

virtual void ActivateDemoPlayback(const char * filename, INetChannel * pClient, INetChannel * pServer) = 0;

Records this context as a demo file.

virtual void ActivateDemoRecorder(const char * filename) = 0;

Records this context as a demo file.

virtual void BindObject(EntityId id, EntityId parentId, NetworkAspectType aspectBits, bool bStatic) = 0;

Binds an object to the network so it starts synchronizing its state.

virtual bool ChangeContext() = 0;

Changes the game context.

Destroy all objects, and cause all channels to load a new level, and reinitialize state.

virtual void ChangedAspects(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType aspectBits) = 0;

Some aspects of an object have been changed - and those aspects should be updated shortly.

The only way to get eAF_UpdateOccasionally aspects updated.

virtual void DeclareAspect(const char * name, NetworkAspectType aspectBit, uint8 aspectFlags) = 0;

Calls just after construction to declare which aspect bits have which characteristics.

virtual NetworkAspectType DelegatableAspects() const = 0;

Get a mask of all aspects declared with the eAF_Delegatable flag

virtual void DelegateAuthority(EntityId id, INetChannel * pControlling) = 0;

Passes authority for updating an object to some remote channel; this channel must have had SetServer() called on it at construction time.

Only those aspects marked as eAF_Delegatable are passed on.

virtual void DeleteContext() = 0;

Releases this context.

virtual void EnableAspects(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType aspectBits, bool enabled) = 0;

Enables/disables the synchronization of some aspects over the network.

virtual void EnableBackgroundPassthrough(bool enable) = 0;

Enables on a server to lower pass-through message latency.

virtual void EstablishedContext(int establishToken) = 0;

The level has finished loading

Call this after a call to IGameContext::EstablishContext.

IGameContext::EstablishContext

The slow part of context establishment is complete.

virtual ChannelMaskType GetAspectChannelMask(NetworkAspectID aspectID) = 0;

Returns the channel mask for this aspect

virtual uint8 GetAspectProfile(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType aspectBit) = 0;

Fetches the profile on an aspect; this is a very heavyweight method as it must completely flush the state of network queues before operating.

virtual INetChannel* GetDemoRecorderChannel() const = 0;

Returs demo recorder channel

virtual EntityId GetEntityID(SNetObjectID netID) = 0;

virtual void GetMemoryStatistics(ICrySizer* pSizer) = 0;

virtual SNetObjectID GetNetID(EntityId userID, bool ensureNotUnbinding = true) = 0;

convert EntityId to netId and vice versa

virtual ICryPak * GetServerControlledICryPak() = 0;

get an ICryPak interface for server controlled files

virtual XmlNodeRef GetServerControlledXml(const char * filename) = 0;

Read XML out of a synced file

virtual IVoiceContext* GetVoiceContext() = 0;

virtual bool IsBound(EntityId id) = 0;

Removes the binding of an object to the network.

virtual bool IsDemoPlayback() const = 0;

Are we playing back a demo session?

virtual bool IsDemoRecording() const = 0;

Are we recording a demo session?

virtual void LogBreak(const SNetBreakDescription& des) = 0;

add a break event to the log of breaks for this context

virtual void LogCppRMI(EntityId id, IRMICppLogger * pLogger) = 0;

Logs a custom (C++ based) RMI call to the demo file.

virtual void LogRMI(const char * function, ISerializable * pParams) = 0;

If we're recording, log an RMI call to a file.

virtual void PulseObject(EntityId objId, uint32 pulseType) = 0;

add a priority pulse to an object (the shape of the pulse is described in the scheduling group in game/scripts/network/scheduler.

virtual int RegisterPredictedSpawn(INetChannel * pChannel, EntityId id) = 0;

virtual void RegisterServerControlledFile(const char * filename) = 0;

register a file that should be server controlled

virtual void RegisterValidatedPredictedSpawn(INetChannel * pChannel, int predictionHandle, EntityId id) = 0;

virtual bool RemoteContextHasAuthority(INetChannel * pChannel, EntityId id) = 0;

Determines if the context on the remote end of a channel has authority over an object.

virtual void RemoveRMIListener(IRMIListener * pListener) = 0;

Removing an RMI listener -- make sure there's no pointers left to it.

virtual void RequestRemoteUpdate(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType aspects) = 0;

virtual void Resaltify(SNetObjectID& id) = 0;

virtual void SafelyUnbind(EntityId id) = 0;

virtual NetworkAspectType ServerControllerOnlyAspects() const = 0;

Get a mask of all aspects declared with the eAF_ServerControllerOnly flag

virtual void SetAspectChannelMask(NetworkAspectType aspectBit, ChannelMaskType mask) = 0;

Sets the channel mask for this aspect (aspectchannelmask & channelmask must be non 0 for send to occur)

virtual void SetAspectProfile(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType aspectBit, uint8 profile) = 0;

Modifies the profile of an aspect.

virtual void SetDelegatableMask(EntityId id, NetworkAspectType delegateMask) = 0;

The below can be used per object to prevent delegatable aspects from being delegated

virtual void SetParentObject(EntityId objId, EntityId parentId) = 0;

Specifies an objects 'network parent'.

• Child objects are unspawned after the parent object is.
• Child objects are spawned after the parent object is.

virtual bool SetSchedulingParams(EntityId objId, uint32 normal, uint32 owned) = 0;

set scheduling parameters for an object normal and owned are 4cc's from game/scripts/network/scheduler.xml

virtual void SpawnedObject(EntityId id) = 0;

Must be called ONCE in response to a message sent from a SendSpawnObject call on the server (from the client).

virtual bool UnbindObject(EntityId id) = 0;

Determines if an object is bound or not.
