Integration
This package adds an Editor window "PUN Wizard" for connection setup:
Menu -> Window -> Photon Unity Networking (shortcut: ALT+P)
It also adds a commonly used component "PhotonView" to this menu:
Menu -> Component -> Miscellaneous -> PhotonView (shortcut: ALT+V)
When imported into a new, empty project, the "PunStartup" script opens the "demo hub" and setup scenes to build.
Clean PUN Import (no demos)
To get a clean import of PUN, just skip all folders named "Demos".
The folder "UtilityScripts" can be useful for rapid prototyping but the components are optional.
Server
Exit Games Photon can be run on your servers or you can subscribe to the Photon Cloud for managed servers.
The window "Photon Unity Networking" will help you setup a Photon Cloud account.
This service is geared towards room-based games and the server cannot be modified.
Read more about it: https://www.photonengine.com
Alternatively, download the Server SDK and run your own Photon Server.
The SDK has the binaries to run immediately but also includes the source code and projects
for the game logic. You can use that as basis to modify and extend it.
A 100 concurrent user license for the server is provided for free.
