Receive UDP without port forwarding

[DiamondShark286]

I am developing a game an the game requires heavily on multiplayer. I want to know how to send a packet to a server(which can be port forwarded) and have the client receive a response without requiring the player to port forward.

In theory session started by client should open port and there should be no problems, ofc if port isn't blocked by firewall.

For something more complex such as player to player communication "hole punching" can be used http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/

besides you're two other posts on the same topic, what sort of game/multiplayer is it? A text based game would be vastly different to a FPs

What platform (Unix sockets/WIN32 sockets) and what language?

You should have a read of this as an basic introduction to begin thinking about some of the architectural concerns and principals. Game Programming Patterns will also be helpful to you I suppose.

 

The journey that you are embarking on is not an easy or a forgiving one.

That's no excuse for spamming threads. The question is badly contrived, simply making more of the same ilk will not illicit assistance.
