socketio-client-ue4

This is a fork of https://github.com/getnamo/socketio-client-ue4 trying to update the plugin to work with the latest version of the C++ socket.io client from https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-cpp.

The original version would disconnect after 25 seconds from the socket.io server because of incorrect ping-pong heart beat messages.

How to Install

Via Git clone

1. Create a new project or choose project to add plugin.
2. Browse to your project folder (typically found at Documents/Unreal Project/{Your Project Root})
3. Create a Plugins folder in your project root folder and use that path for step 4. command.
4. Git clone. Repository uses submodules, so recommended command is:

git clone https://github.com/MarcG-TUE/socketio-client-ue4 --recurse-submodules

Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) version

Branch unreal-engine-5 contains a version of the plugin that works with Unreal Engine 5.0.0.After the clone above, inside the socketio-client-ue4 folder, issue the command

git checkout unreal-engine-5
