Possible to create own Traversal?

[ImRhys]

Hello all,

Just wondering if it's possible for me to create my own traversal and then link with Dolphin.

I know a fair bit about server setups, TURN and STUN etc. - I'm just wondering if Dolphin actually allows you to use your own Traversal had you to create one. I'm fairly new to Dolphin so I'm unaware as to if this is possible or not?

Anyone got any articles?

( Sorry in advance if this is deemed the wrong section )

Thanks,
IR

CMake will compile Linux server binaries for the traversal server if you're interested in hosting your own. Then it's just a matter of pointing Dolphin to it.

It is possible. I've never actually tried it, but it seems simple enough.

When compiling using CMake and if you're on a unix system, you should get a "traversal_server" binary. It doesn't accept any command line options and listens on every network interface on UDP port 6262.
(Tip: You don't need to compile everything, just run `cmake --build . --target traversal_server` (while in the Build folder) after generating to just to build the server binary)

In the dolphin side of things, you just need to add "TraversalServer" in the section [NetPlay] in the Dolphin.ini file, which contains the host name of the server. The config for the port is "TraversalPort", but since the server is hardcoded to 6262, there is most likely no need to change.

Thank-you both!

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I'll get to doing that in my spare time so that if Dolphins traversal goes down again, I have a backup, or I'll just start to use mine.

Thanks again.
