# About

The `benet` module for Godot is a fork of `NetworkedMultiplayerPacketPeer` (although it stays compatible) to allow access to multiple channels and the ability to run multiple clients/servers in the same scene.

The module is composed by two parts:

- `ENetPacketPeer`: The fork of `NetworkedMultiplayerPacketPeer`

  - `create_server`: Add parameter to specify max channels (default 1)

  - `create_client`: Add parameter to specify max channels (default 1)

  - `put_packet_channel`: New method, allow to put a packet in the specified channel

  - `send` (`_unreliable`, `_ordered`) allow to send to specific client in reliable, unreliable, ordered way whlie selecting the channel

  - `broadcast` (`_unreliable`, `_ordered`) allow to broadcast a packet in a reliable, unreliable, ordered way while selecting the channel

- `ENetNode`: Act like `SceneTree`:

  - Poll on idle/fixed time (must be in tree to work!)

  - Emit signals on idle/fixed time (must be in tree to work!)

  - Emit additional `server_packet` and `client_packet` signals when receiving packets

  - Allow kicking clients by unique id.

  - Will hopefully support RPC in the future

# Installation

1. Clone the godot engine repository

2. Copy the `benet` folder from this repository into the godot `modules` folder

3. Recompile godot (see http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/_compiling.html )
