MMO Server
Hello Everyone,

I just purchased Esenthel a few days ago and have been playing around with the Tutorials and making small edits here and there (WASD Movement, and Character Rotation when RMB is pushed.).

One thing that kind of confuses me is how the server works. I know there are Client -> Server connections, but also Client -> Client connections.

First off, is there an easy way to disable Client -> Client connections and force Client -> Server connections?

Also, when there are Client -> Client connections, what does that really mean? Is all of the information being sent from Client B to Client A to get passed along to the server which processes everything and then sends it back to ClientA to pass along to ClientB and other interested parties? If so, doesn't that open up some major security holes?

Thanks for any insight anyone can pass along. I am really impressed with the engine so far smile.

I will be making some more documentation for mmo framework (see engine roadmap)

yes you can disable client->client connections (just don't try to connect them)
